Twain was born in a small town, which happened to be called A City but anyway, he also lived in a small town. He probably died in a small town, and that's probably where they buried him. As a boy, Mark watched the ships on the Mrs. Ippy River, and dreamed of one day being the captain of a ship. Mark was an outgoing, fun-loving boy, and often got into trouble. In school, he was the class clown. His teachers often had trouble getting him to pay attention so eventually he was expelled(开除). Finding nothing but farm work at home, Mark decided to head west as part of the California Golden Grahams Rush. In California, Twain attempted to make his fortune in the Golden Grahams field.Then he determined that writers, and especially newspaper writers, don't have to work very hard. Unfortunately, Mark never got rich by writing in California, because most of the miners were illiterate. A keen observer of life, Twain used his observations to write humorous stories. 【1】Where did Twain spent his childhood?

Today, we complete our story about the influential English writer William Shakespeare. He wrote plays and poems during the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, which remain very popular today. During earlier times, people would probably have learned several ancient Roman and Greek plays. It was not unusual for writers to produce more current versions of these works. For example, in Shakespeare's play The Comedy of Errors Shakespeare borrowed certain details from the ancient Roman writer Plautus. For his play Macbeth, Shakespeare most likely used a work on Scottish history by Raphael Holinshed for information. Shakespeare might have borrowed from other writers, but the intensity（强度）of his imagination and language made the plays his own. While many plays by other writers of his time have been forgotten, Shakespeare and his art live on. Shakespeare was also influenced by the world around him. He described the sights and sounds of London in his plays. His works include observations about political struggles, the fear of diseases, and the popular language of the city’s tradesmen. Shakespeare's knowledge of the English countryside is also clear. His works include descriptions of deep forests, local flowers, and the ancient popular traditions of rural people. It would be impossible to list all of the ways in which Shakespeare’s works have influenced the world culture. But the first and greatest example would be his great influence on the English language. During his time, the English language was changing. Many new words from other languages were being added. Shakespeare used his sharp mind and poetic inventiveness to create hundreds of new words and rework old ones. For example, he created the noun forms of “critic”, “mountaineer” and “eyeball”. Many common expressions in English come from his plays, including “pomp and circumstance（装腔作势）”from Othello, “full circle（绕圈子地）” from King Lear, etc. The list of cultural creations influenced by Shakespeare is almost endless. From paintings to television to music and dance, Shakespeare was well represented. Shakespeare's plays have been translated into every major language in the world. Shakespeare became a well-known writer during a golden age of theater. His years of hard work paid off. 【1】Why are the works of Shakespeare superior to these of other writers of his time? A.Because he borrowed from other writers. B.Because his rich imagination and beautiful language. C.Because he influenced the English language greatly. D.Because he wrote his plays by himself. 【2】Which of the following is not the reason why Shakespeare influenced the world around him? A.He described London in his works. B.He described English countryside clearly in his works. C.He described the ancient traditions of rural people in his works. D.He described the popular disease clearly in his works. 【3】What can we infer from the article？ A.Shakespeare influenced the English language greatly. B.Shakespeare’s works are not very popular in his time. C.Shakespeare’s success is partly due to the fact that he worked very hard. D.Shakespeare created many expressions in his plays. 【4】What does the author want to tell us in this article? A.William Shakespeare is an influential English writer. B.William Shakespeare lived in a golden age of theatre. C.William Shakespeare influenced the English language. D.William Shakespeare is better than other writers of his time. |

Getting less sleep has become a bad habit for most American kids. According to a new survey(调查) by the National Sleep Foundation, 51% of kids aged 10 to 18 go to bed at 10 pm or later on school nights, even though they have to get up early. Last year the Foundation reported that nearly 60% of 7- to 12-year-olds said they felt tired during the day, and 15% said they had fallen asleep at school. How much sleep you need depends a lot on your age. Babies need a lot of rest: most of them sleep about 18 hours a day! Adults need about eight hours. For most school-age children, ten hours is ideal(理想的). But the new National Sleep Foundation survey found that 35% of 10- to 12-year-olds get only seven or eight hours. And guess what almost half of the surveyed kids said they do before bedtime? Watch TV. “More children are going to bed with TVs on, and there are more opportunities(机会) to stay awake, with more homework, the Internet and the phone,” says Dr. Mary Carskadon, a sleep researcher at Brown University Medical School. She says these activities at bedtime can get kids all excited and make it hard for them to calm down and sleep. Other experts say part of the problem is chemical. Changing levels of body chemicals called hormones not only make teenagers’ bodies develop adult characteristics, but also make it hard for teenagers to fall asleep before 11 pm. Because sleepiness is such a problem for teenagers, some school districts have decided to start high school classes later than they used to. Three years ago, schools in Edina, Minnesota, changed the start time from 7:25 am to 8:30 am. Students, parents and teachers are pleased with the results. 【1】What is the general idea of the first paragraph? A.All American kids get less sleep. B.American kids have bad habits. C.Most Americans kids get less sleep and the bad influence of it. D.American kids feel asleep in class. 【2】Which of the following statements is correct? A.When you sleep depends on your age. B.Most children watch TV before they sleep. C.Some children are lacking in sleep. D.Adults will be healthier if they get more sleep. 【3】Why do children find it hard to fall asleep? A.They get too excited before 11p.m. B.Hormones get high at night. C.Their bodies develop adult characteristics. D.They may watch too much TV. 【4】What is the solution to the problem of sleepiness among children? A.Urging them to sleep earlier. B.Not allowing them to watch TV before sleep. C.Getting up later than before. D.Not going to school earlier. 【5】What is the author’s attitude toward the change of school start time? A.Objective B.Indifferent C.Positive D.Negative |

An middle-aged man welcomed them, but because an important meeting was to be held in the town the next day, all rooms were occupied. So he explained, “I’m sorry, but our rooms here are all full and so are the other hotels nearby because of a meeting to be held tomorrow.” Hearing his words, the old couple felt very disappointed and turned around to leave. Just as they were leaving, a young man came up to them and stopped them, “madam and sir, if you don’t mind, you can sleep in my bedroom for a night.” “But where will you sleep tonight?” the old couple wondered. “Please don’t worry. I can stay with my friend.” Having no other choice, the couple accepted his kind offer. The next morning, the couple took out a large sum of money and gave it to the young man, but he refused to take it. “No, you needn’t pay me any money, lending a room is really not a big deal.” said the young man with a big smile on his face. “You are great, young man! It’s very kind of you. Maybe one day I will build a hotel for you.” said the old man. With these words, the old couple left. The young man only laughed and went on working. Several months later, the young man got a letter from the couple, inviting him to go to New York. The young man met them in front of a five-star hotel, which had been bought by the old couple. Clearly, the old couple turned out to be very rich. “Do you still remember what I said to you several months ago?
