Disease, poverty, hate, love — Charles Dickens' stories opened his readers' eyes to the most important themes of his age. Two hundred years later, his stories still speak volumes across the world, proving that Dickens' legacy (遗产) was far greater than just “great literature”．
February 7 marks the 200th anniversary of the writer's birthday. To mark this date, BBC writer Alex Hudson listed six things Dickens gave the modern world. Let's take a look at two of them.
A White Christmas
Dickens is described as “the man who invented Christmas” — not the religious festival, but the cultural aspects that we associate with the festive season today.
In the early 19th century, Christmas was barely worth mentioning, according to critic and writer Leigh Hunt. The committee which ran the Conservative Party even held ordinary business meetings on Christmas Day — unthinkable in the West nowadays, when everyone but the most necessary workers takes at least three days off.
Many people believe that Dickens' popular descriptions of the festive period became a blueprint for generations to come. In his classic novel, A Christmas Carol, he not only put forward the idea of snow at Christmas, but also painted a picture of glowing warmth — “home enjoyments, affections and hopes”．
In his biography of Dickens, Peter Ackroyd wrote: “Dickens can be said to have almost single handedly created the modern idea of Christmas.”
“Dickensian” poverty
Dickens was one of the first to take an honest look at the underclass and the poor of Victorian London.
He helped popularize the term “red_tape” to describe situations where people in power use needless amounts of bureaucracy (官僚作风) in a way that particularly hurts the weaker and poorer members of society.
“Dickensian” has now become a powerful word for describing an unacceptable level of poverty. In 2009, when the president of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers in the UK wanted to talk about poverty in some areas of Britain, she did not use words like “terrible” or “horrific”， but rather described it as “life mirroring the times of Dickens”．
1．The article is mainly about ________.
A．a brief introduction to Charles Dickens
B．Charles Dickens' impact on the world
C．the characters in Charles Dickens' stories
D．Charles Dickens' achievements in literature
2．Why is Dickens called “the man who invented Christmas”？
A．Because he created both religious and cultural festival.
B．Because his novels have something to do with Christmas.
C．Because one of his novels helped to shape Christmas celebrations.
D．Because he was the first man to have proposed celebrating Christmas.
3．We can learn from the passage that ________.
A．Charles Dickens' novels reflect the true life at his age
B．Dickensian is widely used to describe the Christmas
C．every person can take three days off for Christmas
D．the theme of Charles Dickens' stories is about poverty
4．According to the passage the underlined phrase “red tape” refers to ________.
A．rules or regulations that are required to finish a task
B．a situation where poor members of society are hurt
C．conflict between people in power and weaker people
D．pointlessly time consuming official procedures

Mark Twain, the famous American writer, liked to play jokes on others. But once a joke was played on him.
One day Mark Twain was asked to give a talk in a small town. At lunch he met a young man he knew who told him that he had an uncle who never laughed or smiled. The young man told Mark Twain that nobody and nothing could possibly make his uncle smile or laugh.
