一月英语每周好题精选（第2周） 一、 Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre serves as an open-air theatre focusing on the work of Shakespeare. Highlights Not only does the Globe Theatre host many performances throughout the Summer months, but it also hosts guided tours of the playhouse. During the tours, visitors are educated on the construction, the design and the rich stories of the 520-year-old Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre. Another highlight includes Shakespeare’s Globe Exhibition, which educates visitors on Shakespeare’s life, as well as where he lived in London. Depending on when you visit, there may also be some short exhibitions inside the playhouse, which range from historical to art exhibitions.

The new theory was put forward by the research scientist Dr Michelle Thaller. She says that possible signs of life have already been seen within the carbon-dioxide filled atmosphere, adding that she was absolutely certain that life exists somewhere.
