1. 人称的转变
直接引语转化成间接引语时，人称要根据情况作必要的变化。

斯蒂芬·金（Stephen Edwin King）
1947年9月21日生于缅因州的波特兰，毕业于缅因州大学，主修文学。七岁时迷上了恐怖电影， 如今已是世界公认的恐怖大师，畅销小说作家。
1999 年，美国恐怖惊悚小说之王斯蒂芬 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )·金（Stephen Edwin King）被一辆普利茅斯小型货车撞倒在地，身负重伤，奄奄一息。数以万计的书迷祈祷：最坏的事情不要发生，让斯蒂芬·金完成《黑暗塔》（The Dark Tower）这部七卷本的魔幻史诗。不幸中之大幸，斯蒂芬·金缓慢复原，他自己形容说：我和货车“迎头相撞，险些一命呜呼，这促使我重新回到《黑暗塔》， 完成最后的三部”。
1970年在缅因大学读书时，斯蒂芬·金便开 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )始创作《黑暗塔》的第一部《枪手》（The Gunslinger），1978年在《科幻杂志》（Fantasy and Science Fiction Magazine）分五次连载，1982年出版单行本。《枪手》的灵感来自托肯恩（J. R. R. Tolkien）的《魔戒》（The Lord of the Rings）和塞吉奥·利昂（Sergio Leon）的《善恶丑》（The Good the Bad and the Ugly），书名来自罗伯特·布朗宁（Robert Browning）的长篇叙事诗《罗兰少爷前往黑暗塔》（Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came）。凭着“年轻人特有的狂热和激情”，斯蒂芬·金要“创作一部流行小说，不仅仅是一部长篇，而且是历史上最长的一部”，书中的主题是托肯恩的寻觅 和魔法，背景则是利昂的莽荒西部―苍凉世界，劫后文明，黑暗之塔，时空交错。
第二部《三中取一》（The Drawing ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of the Three）1987年出版，第三部《荒原》（The Waste Lands）1991年出版。自从第四部《巫师与玻璃》（Wizard and Glass）在1997年出版后，斯蒂芬·金收到几百位读者的来信，表示他们对故事的进展急不可待，请求作者透露一些线索，其中一名死囚甚至立下毒誓，保 证如果知道后绝不外泄，会将秘密带进坟墓，“这简直使我毛骨悚然”，斯蒂芬·金回忆说。
在未来的17个月内，《黑暗 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )塔》最后三部将陆续面世。第五部《卡拉之狼》（Wolves of the Calla）、第六部《苏珊娜之歌》（Song of Susannah）、第七部《黑暗塔》（Dark Tower）将分别于2003年11月、2004年8月和11月出版。全部完成的七部长达3500页。21世纪教育网版权所有
在6月22日，《枪手》的修订版首先由维 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )京出版社（Viking Press）以5美元出售，羽毛出版社（Plume Press）发行简装本，15.95美元。在修订本中，几乎每页都有修改，并且增加了三处场景、约35页的篇幅，重写了与后续几乎毫无关联的原作开头。21教育网
1947 年9月21日，斯蒂芬·金 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )生于美国缅因州的波特兰（Portland）。在他三岁那年，父亲有一天出去买香烟就一去不返。他在七岁写了第一部短篇小说。现 年59岁的斯蒂芬·金已经出版40本书、200篇短篇小说，作品销售超过一亿本，翻译成多种语言，被改变成电影、电视剧，1994年的《肖申克的救赎》 （Shawshank Redemption）获得七项奥斯卡奖提名。斯蒂芬·金是最富有的作家之一，据《福布斯》杂志统计，仅1996年他的收入就达8400万美元。
他的《骑在弹头上》（Riding ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the Bullet）是第一本网络出版的小说，2000年3月在上网发行的头两天，就有50万份拷贝被下载，一时在美国掀起电子图书风暴。后来，他又自己在网上 出版《植物》（The Plant），这是第一本集作者、出版商和发行人于一体的网络出版小说。21cnjy.com
斯蒂芬·金身高6英尺4英寸，体重200磅。据说他生活节俭，一周仅花200美元作为休闲活动，他喜欢打扑克、玩保龄球，参加摇滚乐队活动。
1971 年1月斯蒂芬·金与塔比瑟·斯普拉丝 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )（Tabitha Spruce）结婚，有三个儿女和三个孙儿女。他与妻子仍然住在缅因州的小镇班戈尔（Bangor）和中罗维尔（Center Lovell），冬季则前往佛罗里达。他多次提及自己在考虑退休，但会更自由的创作。

Step I Revision
T: Yesterday we’ve learnt a passage “The Steamboat”. Who would like to retell it briefly
S: Let me try. One day, the weather was bad and the rain poured down after midnight. Huck and Jim stayed inside the shelter they had built. Then they found a steamboat in the middle of the river when they sailed down the river. The steamboat hit a rock and was half in and half out of the water. In order to find something useful on the boat, Huck and Jim climbed onto the sinking steamboat. To their astonishment, they heard someone shout, “Oh please boys, don’t kill me! I won’t tell anybody!” A man’s angry voice answered, “You’re lying. You said that the last time. We’re going to kill you.” When they heard these words, Jim ran back to the raft because of fright. But Huck went on observing what happened there. There were three men in a cabin. The tall man was pointing a gun at the man on the floor. The short man suggested leaving the man on the floor. Then Huck had a plan. He crawled along the deck, found Jim and told him what he had heard. They decided to steal the men’s boat. Huck persuaded Jim to help him although Jim was terrified. At last, Huck and Jim took away the men’s boat. That’s all.

A Tiny Biography of Mark Twain
Ever A Gold Digger!
Sam Clemens never finished what he started — before the age of twenty-five, that is. By age twenty-five he had quit school to work for a newspaper typesetter, quit setting type to pilot a Mississippi steamer, quit river-boating to join the Confederate Army and shortly thereafter, deserted the army to go West and dig for riches. Thankfully for generations of readers, he found none; and, while recouping his losses, he instead latched onto a bit of wisdom that would change the landscape of American literature.
“There comes a time in every rightly constructed boy’s life that he has a raging desire to go somewhere and dig for hidden treasure.”
Which is Twain’s birth place Florida Missouri
Mark Twain was born Samuel Langhorne Clemens in Florida, Missouri, on 30 November 1835. As he later said, he was brought in on Halley’s Comet and wished to go out on its return. He was raised in Hannibal, on the Missouri banks of the Mississippi. He was the sixth of seven children. At age twelve, sometime after his father’s death in 1847, he left school and apprenticed at a local printer’s shop. There, in what Abraham Lincoln later called the “poor boy’s college”, Clemens trained as a writer and critic.
How Twain Set His Writing Style
“One isn’t a printer ten years without setting up acres of good and bad literature, and learning — unconsciously at first, consciously later — to discriminate between the two ... and meantime, he is unconsciously acquiring what is a “style”.
The literature he set into type varied in genre from anecdotes, to monologues, brief book excerpts, poems, and sketches by contemporary humorists. What these selections had in common was that they were all self-contained pieces — short and to the point. “Training is,” as Twain later wrote, “everything”; and so, it should come as no surprise that Twain himself survives in our hearts (and on the tip of our tongues) as easily excerpt able and eminently quotable. We can all picture Tom Sawyer persuading his friends to pay money for the privilege to whitewash his fence, but how many of us remember the novel at length That scene — rather than the plot — stays fresh in our minds because it encapsulates how much we admired and resented that conniving kid on our own block, or in the cubicle just outside our office door.
Twain As A Hopper Before His First Book
Twain would write short pieces for nearly two decades before penning his first novel. But it was his skills as a printer, and not a writer, that bought him his first ticket out of Hannibal. Working as a tramp printer, he traveled to St. Louis and Iowa and then east to New York, Philadelphia, and Washington. D.C. During that time, he contributed travel letters to his brother’s newspaper, the Hannibal Gazette. A prolific writer, his career as a journalist was off to a fine start, writing feature stories, political reports, and sketches. Then, in 1957, Twain traveled to New Orleans and apprenticed to the pilot master George Ealer on the steamboat Pennsylvania. One and a half years later, he was a licensed steamboat pilot.
By 1861, the Civil War had all but cut off traffic on the Mississippi. Twain enlisted in a Confederate company from Missouri. A few weeks later, he deserted and went off with his brother for the New Territory of Nevada. After failing as prospector, Twain served as city editor for the Virginia City Enterprise. One year later, in 1865, a real good liar and a jumping frog brought Twain into national prominence. New York’s The Saturday Press published his “Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County” and newspapers throughout the United States reprinted it. In 1867, that jumping frog was binded with other short sketches by Twain as his first book.
In the meantime, as early as 1866, Twain began lecturing. He told stories about himself and about his travels, which he continued to make as a correspondent. Twain visited the Sandwich Islands and, in 1867, set sail for the Holy Land. Later, he toured France and Italy gathering material for The Innocents Abroad. This book, published in 1869, truly established Twain’s reputation as a humorist. In it he satirized American tourists learning about Europe from guidebooks and, relying on his own voice of brash practicality, managed to extol the virtues of the New World as opposed to the Old.

Step I Writing
Ask the students to read the two summaries given on page 28 and then complete the sentences with correct words and phrases.
T: We know there are a lot of famous works in the world. Because everyone’s time is limited, we can’t read all books. But we can get the general ideas of many books by reading the summary of them. Today we’ll read two summaries of famous works. After reading them, please finish the exercises below.
After a while, check the answers.
Let the students work in groups to choose a well-known Chinese adventure story or film and write a summary about it.
T: We’ve known two foreign adventure stories by reading the summaries of them. Please work in groups. Every group chooses a well-known Chinese adventure story or film and discusses it.
A few minutes later, ask each group to write the title of story or film they’ve chosen. Then tell the students some very useful points on how to write a summary.
T: Every group has chosen a story or a film. How to write a successful summary Please look at the screen. There are tips of writing a summary that you’d better remember.
1. Write the title of your story or film on the first sentence;
2. Keep your summary as short as possible;

T: OK. Since that you have known how to write a summary, now start to write a summary of the story or film that you’ve chosen.
Sample writing:
A World Without Thieves
Chinese director Feng Xiaogang’s New Year film A World Without Thieves has been on for a period. It’s Feng’s sixth New Year film since the first one in 1997.
The story takes place on a train. It is about two groups of thieves and a country boy. One group is moved by the boy and tries to protect the boy from being stolen.
Wang Bo (played by Andy Lau) and Wang Li (played by Rene Liu), two master thieves, swindle their way across China, until they meet Fu Gen, who does not know about life and believes that he lives in a world without thieves. Having saved a lot of money, after years of work, he is going to build a house and marry a girl. Moved by his good nature, Wang Li (played by Rene Liu) wants to protect him from Uncle Bill(played by Ge You) who tries to steal from Fu Gen. Wang Bo, who tries to stop her at first, finally becomes kind and helps her protect the country boy.
Andy Lau has a hard time being ugly in the movie. He plays very well, so does Rene Liu. Ge You keeps his special humor in the film. What’s more, the country boy plays naturally.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Alfonso Cuaron directs the film. Harry Potter is played by Caniel Radcliff, Hermione Granger by Emma Watson and Yon Weasley by Tupert Grint.
The film shows bravery, wealth, vengeance and love. The great friendship between the friends makes the world bright and makes us understand the most wonderful thing worth giving out life and expecting all the life is — love. It’s so important. It’s love — makes us try our best and encourages us to do the most important but so dangerous thing in the world. And it’s love — makes the world be a world.

II. 语法知识
动词的各种形式小结
动词的 -ing, -ed形式和动词的不定式在句子中充当除谓语以外的各种句子成分。我们把他们统称叫做非谓语动词。现就非谓语动词在句子中做宾语、宾语补足语与主语补足语、表语等成分来区分其用法和细微含义。
一、动词不定式
（一） 作宾语
有些及物动词常用动词不定式作宾语。这些动词有： like, want, wish, hate, prefer, hope, mange, try, offer, start, ask, forget, promise, pretend, intend, begin, attempt, decide, desire, agree, learn, choose, expert等等。如：
(1)Don’t forget to bring your dictionary.
不要忘记把你的字典带来。
(2)He can’t afford to buy a car.
他买不起小汽车。
注意： 有些动词后面跟有复合宾语时， 常用it 作形式宾语， 而把作真实的宾语——不定式放在宾语补足语之后。 常见的这类动词有：find（发现），think（认为）， consider（认为）， feel（觉得），make（使得）等。如：
(1)The dusty air makes it difficult to get a clear picture of space.
大气中的尘埃使人难以获取太空清晰的图像。
(2)He found it important to study the situation in Russia. 他觉得研究俄国的形势很重要。
（二）作宾语补足语与主语补足语
不定式可以和名词或代词构成复合结构，作动词的宾语，称为复合宾语， 不定式作复合宾语中的宾语补足语。这可以分为三种情况。
1． 带 to 的不定式作宾语补足语
要求用这种结构的常见的动词有：advise, allow, ask, beg, cause, call on, consider, drive, encourage, expect, force, get, hate, invite, know, like, love, teach, oblige, order, persuade, permit, request, require, tell, want, warn, wish 等。如：
The patient was warned not to eat oily food after the operation.
病人被告之手术后不要吃油腻的食物。
2. 不带 to的不定式作宾语补足语
要求用这种结构的动词有：make, let, have, hear, watch, notice, feel, see 等。如：
The owners of slaves made them work very hard on their farms.
奴隶主迫使他们在农场里卖力的劳动。
注意： 当上述动词在用于被动句时， 原来省略了的动词不定式符号“to”要再重新加上。
3. 在help 后带 to 或不带 to 都可。
You must help me do the cooking this afternoon.
今天下午你必须帮我做饭。
Will you help me plant this tree, please
你愿意帮我种这棵树吗？
当含有复合宾语的句子由主动语态变为被动语态时，原来的宾语补足语变为主语补足语。如：
Why is potato thought to be a very useful plant
为什么马铃薯被认为是一种非常有用的作物？
This book was considered to be an important summary of the knowledge of farming.
这本书被认为是农业知识方面很重要的一份总结。
(三) 作表语
作表语的不定式往往说明主语的内容，这时主语通常是hope, idea, job, mistake, plan, suggestion, wish, work, aim, purpose, thing, business等。如：
To the doctor, the most important thing is to save people’s lives.
对医生来说，最重要的是拯救生命。
二、动词 -ing 形式
（一） 作宾语
1． 有些动词只能跟 -ing 形式（短语）作宾语，不能跟不定式短语作宾语 。这类动词常见的有：consider, dislike, delay, enjoy, escape, finish, cannot help, imagine, keep (on), mind, miss, practise, cannot stand, suggest等。
She can’t help crying after she listened to the sad story. 听了那忧伤的故事，她禁不住哭了起来。
I suggested trying it in a different way.
我建议换一种方法试试。
2. -ing 形式（短语）除了可以作动词的宾语外， 还可以作介词宾语。如：
He studied ways of keeping seeds.
他研究了种子的保存方法。
She was very interested in working for our company.
她对为我们公司工作很感兴趣。
注意：-ing 形式与不定式作宾语时的区别。
（二）作宾语补足语与主语补足语
1. -ing 形式 短语也可以在感官动词（如 see, watch, hear, notice, find, feel）后作宾语补足语，表示宾语的行为正在进行。
When I entered the room, I found him watching TV.
进屋时我看见他正在看电视。
I felt the bus shaking terrible.
我感到汽车摇晃的很厉害。
2.当上述这样的句子由主动语态变为被动语态时，原来的宾语补足语就变为 了主语补足语。如：
The missing boy was last seen playing near the river.
丢失的小男孩最后一次被看到是在河边玩。
注意：-ing 形式与不定式作宾语补足语时的区别。不定式短语作宾语补足语时，表示动作已经发生，指事情的全部过程，已经结束；-ing 形式短语作宾语补足语时则表示动作正在进行。试比较：
Did you see anyone come out of the room
你看见有人从房间里出来了吗？
I see someone coming out of the room.
我看见有人正从房间里出来。
(三) 作表语
-ing可以用来做表语。这时-ing形式多表示主语所有的特征，-ed 形式多表示主语所处的状态。用作表语的-ing形式，-ed 形式几乎已经变成了形容词，可有比较形式，也可以被very修饰，表示“很”或“非常”的概念。这样的词常用的有：
amusing, charming, disappointing, exciting, interesting, astonishing, encouraging, convincing, pressing, surprising, confusing, excited, amused, disappointed, interested, astonished, encouraged, convinced, confused, surprised, amazed, exhausted, worried satisfied 等等。如：
The news is encouraging. 这消息很令人鼓舞。
She is encouraged very much. 她深受鼓舞。
The result is a little disappointing.
结果有点令人失望。
He looked very disappointed. 他显得很失望。
三、动词 -ed形式
作宾语补足语
在某些动词如hear, see, make， find, keep 等后可用-ed作宾补，表示一个被动的已经完成的动作。
When he woke up, he found himself tied on a tree.
当他醒来时，发现自己被绑在一棵树上。
III. 文化背景知识
About The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
The primary theme of the novel is the conflict between civilization and “natural life”. Huck represents natural life through his freedom of spirit, his uncivilized ways, and his desire to escape from civilization. He is brought up without any rules and has a strong resistance to anything that might “civilize” him. This conflict is introduced in the first chapter through the efforts of the Widow Douglas: She tries to force Huck to wear new clothes, give up smoking, and to learn the Bible. Throughout the novel, Twain seems to suggest that the uncivilized way of life is better; he draws on the ideas of Jean Jacques Rousseau in his belief that civilization corrupts rather than improves human beings.
The theme of honor is one that permeates the novel. It is first introduced in the second chapter with respect to Tom Sawyer’s band: Tom believes that there is a great deal of honor associated with being robbers. This theme can be traced throughout the rest of the book. Huck and Jim encounter robbers on the shipwrecked boat and later they are forced to put up with the King and the Dauphin, both of whom “rob” everyone they meet. Tom’s robber band is also paralleled by the fact that Tom and Huck both become literal robbers at the end of the novel. They both resolve to steal Jim out of slavery, and in the process they act honorably. Thus honor, and acting in a way to earn honor, becomes a central theme that Huck will have to deal with.
The theme of food is one that occurs in many parts of the novel. It is based on the fact that Huck grew up fighting for food with pigs, eating out of “a barrel of odds and ends.” Thus, whenever there is mention of food, it is a sign that Huck has someone to take care of him. For example, in the first chapter it is the Widow Douglas who feeds Huck. Later she is replaced by Jim, who takes care of Huck on Jackson’s Island. Food is again mentioned when Huck lives with the Grangerfords and the Wilks.
Another theme, and probably one of Twain’s favorites, is the mockery of religion. Twain tended to attack organized religion at every opportunity, and the sarcastic character of Huck Finn is perfectly situated to allow him to do so. The attack on religion can already be seen in the first chapter, when Huck indicates that hell sounds like a lot more fun than heaven. This will continue throughout the novel, with one prominent scene occurring when the “King” convinces a religious community to give him money so he can “convert” his pirate friends.
Superstition is a theme that both Huck and Jim bring up several times. Although both of these characters tend to be quite rational, they quickly become irrational when anything remotely superstitious happens to them. The role of superstition is two-fold: it shows that Huck and Jim are child-like in spite of their otherwise extremely mature characters. Second, it serves to foreshadow the plot at several key junctions. For example, spilling salt leads to Pa returning for Huck, and later Jim gets bitten by a rattlesnake after Huck touches a snakeskin with his hands.
Slavery forms one of the main themes that has been frequently debated since Huck Finn was first published. Twain himself was vehemently anti-slavery; Huckleberry Finn can in many ways be seen as an allegory for why slavery is wrong. Twain uses Jim, a slave who is one of the main characters, as a way of showing the human side of a slave. Everything about Jim is presented through emotions: Jim runs away because Miss Watson was going to sell him South and separate him from his family; Jim is trying to become free so he can buy his family’s freedom; Jim takes care of Huck and protects him on their journey downriver in a very materialistic manner. Thus, Twain’s purpose is to make the reader feel sympathy for Jim and outrage against the society that would harm him. However, at the same time that Twain is attacking slavery, he also pushes the issue into the background for most of the novel. Thus, Huck and Jim never debate slavery itself. Even the other slaves in the novel are noticeably minor characters. Only at the very end does Twain create the central conflict concerning slavery: Should Huck free Jim from slavery and therefore be condemned to go to hell This moment is life-altering for Huck because it forces him to reject everything that “civilization” has taught him; he makes the decision to free Jim based solely on his own experiences and not based on the what he has been taught from books.
The theme of money is threaded through the novel and is used to highlight the disparity between the rich and the poor. Twain purposely begins the novel by pointing out that Huck has over six thousand dollars to his name; this sum of money dwarfs all the other sums and makes them seem inconsequential by contrast. It is also within this context that Huck is able to show such a relaxed attitude towards wealth. Having so much money, he does not view money as a necessity. In addition, Huck’s upbringing on the land has made him independent enough that he views money as a luxury. Huck’s views on money are meant to contrast with Jim’s views. Jim sees money as equivalent to freedom; with money he can buy his freedom and that of his family. Money also would allow him to live like a white person, thus raising his status in the society. Thus, throughout the novel Jim constantly tries to get money whereas Huck takes an apathetic attitude towards the subject.
Major books by Mark Twain
The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County (1867)
The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County was first published in the November 18, 1865, edition of The New York Saturday Press under the title Jim Smiley and His Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, is set in a gold-mining camp in Calaveras County, California, and has its origins in the folklore of the Gold Rush era. It was one of Twain’s earliest writings, and helped establish his reputation as a humorist. He eventually included it as the title story in his first collection of tales.
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876)
(From the Preface) Most of the adventures recorded in this book really occurred; one or two were experiences of my own, the rest those of boys who were schoolmates of mine. Huck Finn is drawn from life; Tom Sawyer also, but not from an individual — he is a combination of the characteristics of three boys whom I knew, and therefore belongs to the composite order of architecture.
The odd superstitions touched upon were all prevalent among children and slaves in the west at the period of this story — that is to say, thirty or forty years ago. Although my book is intended mainly for the entertainment of boys and girls, I hope it will not be shunned by men and women on that account, for part of my plan has been to try to pleasantly remind adults of what they once were themselves, and of how they felt and thought and talked, and what queer enterprises they sometimes engaged in.
The Prince and Pauper (1881)
Edward Tudor and Tom Canty are the age and share the same features only one of them is a pauper’s child and the other is the heir to the throne of England. When chance brings the boys together, they decide for fun to switch clothes, but fate suddenly casts them into each other’s worlds. Tom learns what is to be caught in the pomp and folly of the royal court and the young prince learns what it is to survive in the lower depths of 16th century English society. Through the switch identities Mark Twain has fashioned both a scathing attack on social hypocrisy and injustice, and an irresistible comedy imbued with the sense of spirited play that belongs to this creative period. The delightful fable of The Prince and the Pauper has delighted readers young and old for over 100 years.
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884)
Mark Twain’s classic novel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, tells the story of a teenage misfit who finds him floating on a raft down the Mississippi River with an escaping slave, Jim. In the course of their perilous journey, Huck and Jim meet with adventure, danger, and a cast of characters who are sometimes menacing and often hilarious. Although the story was mostly written in the 1880s it is set in the time of slavery prior to the Civil War. Twain uses Huck’s predicaments to illustrate the failure of reconstruction in the post — Civil War South.
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court (1889)
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court is held to be one of the world’s first stories about time travel. The main character, Hank Morgan, superintendent at the Colt Firearms Factory in Hartford, Connecticut, is hit on the head in a fight, knocking him unconscious. He wakes up in the time of King Arthur and uses his 19th century sensibilities and knows how to gain power over the people. Hank introduces conveniences and structures familiar to 1880’s Hartford such as schools, factories, bicycles, and gunpowder. At first, Hank is convinced that his ideas will do the citizens of Arthur’s court good, but as he takes command he turns more and more to violence and loses control of his circumstances.

Mark Twain
Mark twain was born Samuel Langhorne Clemens in the town of Florida, Missouri, in 1835. When he was four years old, his family moved to Hannibal, a town on the Mississippi River much like the towns depicted in his two most famous novels, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884).
Clemens spent his young life in a fairly affluent family that owned a number of household slaves. The death of Clemens’s father in 1847, however, left the family in hardship. Clemens left school, worked for a printer, and, in 1851, having finished his apprenticeship, began to set type for his brother Orion’s newspaper, the Hannibal Journal. But Hannibal proved too small to hold Clemens, who soon became a sort of itinerant printer and found work in a number of American cities, including New York and Philadelphia.
While still in his early twenties, Clemens gave up his printing career in order to work on riverboats on the Mississippi. Clemens eventually became a riverboat pilot, and his life on the river influenced him a great deal. Perhaps most important, the riverboat life provided him with the pen name Mark Twain, derived from the riverboat leadsmen’s signal—“By the mark, twain”—that the water was deep enough for safe passage. Life on the river also gave Twain material for several of his books, including the raft scenes of Huckleberry Finn and the material for his autobiographical Life on the Mississippi (1883).
Clemens continued to work on the river until 1861, when the Civil War exploded across America and shut down the Mississippi for travel and shipping. Although Clemens joined a Confederate cavalry division, he was no ardent Confederate, and when his division deserted en masse, he did too. He then made his way west with his brother Orion, working first as a silver miner in Nevada and then stumbling into his true calling, journalism. In 1863, Clemens began to sign articles with the name Mark Twain.
Throughout the late 1860s and 1870s, Twain’s articles, stories, memoirs, and novels, characterized by an irrepressible wit and a deft ear for language and dialect, garnered him immense celebrity. His novel The Innocents Abroad (1869) was an instant bestseller, and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) received even greater national acclaim and cemented Twain’s position as a giant in American literary circles. As the nation prospered economically in the post-Civil War period—an era that came to be known as the Gilded Age, an epithet that Twain coined—so too did Twain. His books were sold door-to-door, and he became wealthy enough to build a large house in Hartford, Connecticut, for himself and his wife, Olivia, whom he had married in 1870.
Twain began work on Huckleberry Finn, a sequel to Tom Sawyer, in an effort to capitalize on the popularity of the earlier novel. This new novel took on a more serious character, however, as Twain focused increasingly on the institution of slavery and the South. Twain soon set Huckleberry Finn aside, perhaps because its darker tone did not fit the optimistic sentiments of the Gilded Age. In the early 1880s, however, the hopefulness of the post-Civil War years began to fade. Reconstruction, the political program designed to reintegrate the defeated South into the Union as a slavery-free region, began to fail. The harsh measures the victorious North imposed only embittered the South. Concerned about maintaining power, many Southern politicians began an effort to control and oppress the black men and women whom the war had freed.

In 1863, the great novelist (小说家) Jules Verne wrote a novel called Paris in the Twentieth Century. In the book he used the full power of his great ability to forecast the coming century. Unfortunately, the manuscript (手稿) was lost until his great-grandson happened to discover it lying in a safe where it had been carefully locked away for almost 130 years. Realizing what a treasure he had found, he arranged to have it published in 1994, and it became a bestseller at once.
Back in 1863, kings still ruled the ancient world in Europe, with so many poor people performing backbreaking work in the fields. And steam power was just beginning to change the world. But Verne predicted that Paris in 1960 would have glass skyscrapers, air conditioning, TV, elevators, high-speed trains, gas-powered vehicles, and even something similar to the Internet. Verne described life in modern Paris almost without any mistakes.
Just two years later Verne made another amazing prediction. He wrote From the Earth to the Moon, in which he predicted the details of the task that sent several astronauts to the moon more than 100 years later in 1969. He correctly predicted the size of the space capsule, the number of astronauts who would carry out the task, the length of time the journey would take, the weightlessness that the astronauts would experience, and the final landing in the ocean.
How was Jules Verne able to predict 100 years into the future successfully Although he was not a scientist himself, Verne often turned to scientists, asking them questions about their opinions of the future. He collected a vast amount of information about the great scientific discoveries of his time. Verne realized that science would make it possible for many amazing things to appear in the future. The secret of his successful prediction was his belief in the power of science to change society.
25. Paris in the Twentieth Century is a novel that _____.
A. people thought little of at first

Known as a radio host, Rush Limbaugh landed his first radio job when he was in high school. Then Limbaugh attended Southeast Missouri State University, where he showed interest in nothing but radio. After dropping out of college, Limbaugh went to work at a radio station, but he did not last long. For the next few years, he changed from station to station. Tom Leathers, publisher of The Squires, knew Limbaugh at the time and recalls, “Limbaugh was nothing special. He did not have that powerful personality you hear now. He was painfully shy.” Finally, under pressure from his father, who wanted him to give up radio, Limbaugh took a job as a public relations assistant for the Kansas City Royals (a Major League Baseball team).
After five years, Limbaugh left the job because he wanted to work in radio. He soon landed a position at a Kansas City station as a talk show host and commentator. Ten months later, he was fired (解雇). In fact, he once admitted that he had been fired from all but two of the jobs he ever held. A year went by before a San Diego radio station agreed to give him a chance, mainly because it was in serious financial trouble. The job was exactly the chance he needed. Soon Limbaugh’s three-hour morning show became the most popular program in the city and spread to radio stations across the United States.
In 2001, Limbaugh faced a new problem that threatened to take him off the air — deafness. Limbaugh went completely deaf in his left ear and had serious hearing loss in his right. At first, he made an effort to change the way he did his program to cover up his disability. Finally, he told the truth to his listeners and received a cochlear implant operation, which helped him regain (重新获得) some hearing in his left ear. As of 2008, Limbaugh’s radio show was still being broadcast on almost six hundred AM radio stations in the United States and on audio streams over the Internet. Limbaugh’s popularity is often said to have breathed new life into AM radio.

Don’t we all know a “Happy Meal” when we see one — the famous boxed meal that includes a hamburger, a kid-sized portion of fries, a side of fruits and milk, served with a toy that’s extremely popular with children who love to collect them
But collectors of these little toys will soon be in for a surprise. For the book lovers though, there is some good news. McDonalds will replace the plastic toys with books. However, each of these books will mainly pass on nutritional (营养的) messages.
Do you know that McDonalds has been marketing the boxed kid’s meal since 1979 Happy Meals are extremely popular with kids, especially for its collectible toys, when you consider that over 1.3 billion of these packages are sold each year! These packages have been very controversial (有争议的). Health supporters believe that drawing kids to these meals with toys is a clever way of promoting unhealthy food choices. They see it as an advertising strategy (策略) of “catching its customers young” — a move that has paid off very well for the fast food company.
Child development experts say that food habits get formed in children by age six and continue through to their adult life. Fatty and sugary foods such as those served in McDonalds’ Happy Meals are believed to play a big role in growing health problems such as obesity and diabetes. Public healthcare costs have gone up and untold amounts of money have been spent in caring for obesity and other health problems. In 2010, the State of California tried to ban toys in Happy Meals. But it was strongly opposed (反对) by some as being heavy-handed, and the ban was thrown out by the government.
While some people believe that McDonalds, with its large following of children, can create a powerful message through the books, others believe its actions are contradictory (矛盾的). Anyway, the company is trying to spread the message of nutrition while it is serving food that is anything but healthy.
33. Books will be added into Happy Meals to _____.
A. encourage more kids to read books
B. introduce the history of McDonalds
C. have kids learn more about nutrition
D. help young kids learn to read and write
34. In the author’s opinion, Happy Meals _____.
A. bring much fun to children
B. are no good to children’s health
C. are popular with young and old
D. teach children a lot about nutrition
35. The author’s purpose of writing the text is most likely to _____.
A. discuss
B. advertise
C. entertain
D. introduce

American Dreams in China was directed by Peter Chen (Chen Kexin), a famous director in Hong Kong. Three popular Chinese actors named Huang Xiaoming, Tong Dawei and Deng Chao play important roles in this film, which has attracted lots of young audience.
This film is set in the 1980s in China, lasting more than twenty years. Three young men from different backgrounds become good friends in the university. They work hard to achieve their common dream, although they meet lots of difficulties. Eventually they establish a famous English training school which turns out to be a great success.
This film was a hit as soon as it was shown in China. The three men’s spirit of never giving up their dream has encouraged us in our studies and careers.

《1421中国发现世界》
《1421中国发现世界》
公元1421年1月30日（明成祖永乐十九年正月三十日），在总兵太监郑和的带领下，历史上最宏伟壮观的船队从中国出发，其中不乏150米长的巨舰。中国船队如同海上仙山，阵容最浩大时各种船舰达100余艘，各类人员28000余名。其出航的目的为“宣德化而柔远人”。
这次旅行历经两年，并环游地球一周。当他们回航时，盛极一时的明成祖朱棣早已体衰势微，中国也走上锁国道路。巨船任其腐朽，远航的记载也遭到毁弃。从此再也没有人知道那段历史的真相。
　　这次航行早于哥伦布70年，中国人发现了美洲大陆，并且在麦哲伦的100年前便已环球地球。
除此之外，中国人更是在库克船长的350年前就发现了澳洲与南极洲，并且领先欧洲人300年解决了经度测量的问题。

The author's recommendations are disarmingly refreshing, as when he advises when not to read a book and why not to feel guilty if you missed reading all those classics in school. He helps readers reorganize their bookshelves into a Library of Candidates that they actively build and a Living Library of books read with enthusiasm, and he emphasizes the value of creating a Bookography, or annotated list of your reading life. Separate chapters are devoted to the power of audio books and the merits of reading groups.
The author himself admits he came "late to the bookshelf," making this charming little guide all the more convincing.
