ran heavily into debt and when he was 12, he had to go to work in a factory for making boot polish. The only
formal education he received was a two-year schooling at a school for poor children. In fact, he had to teach
himself all he knew. He worked for a time as a junior clerk in a lawyer"s office. After that, he worked as a
reporter in the law courts, and later in parliament, for London newspapers. His career as a writer of fiction
began in 1833 with short stories and essays in periodicals, and in 1837 his comic novel The Pickwick Papers
made him the most popular author at his time in England.
He was a observer of people and their places because he was attracted by life and conditions in the mid-
nineteenth century London. He wrote 19 novels all his life and in many of them, Dickens gave a realistic picture
of all classes of England society, showing deep sympathy for the poor and unfortunate, exposing the injustice
and inhumanity of the bourgeoisie (资本主义).
Many of his novels like Olive Twist, David Copperfield, Nicholas Nickleby, Great Expectations, A Tale of
Two Cities drew attention to the unsatisfactory social conditions that existed in England over 100 years ago.
Dickens criticized capitalist society from the point of view of bourgeoisie humanism. He wished to see
improvement in the living conditions of the poor, but failed to find any effective means to achieve that end.

was black, but he was not a slave. He and his mother and his grandmother were free.
Benjamin"s grandmother came from England. In America she got a job and worked for many years to pay
for her boat trip across the ocean. After working many more years, she saved enough money to buy a farm.
Benjamin lived with her for a while. She taught him to read and write and do arithmetic.
Benjamin"s neighbors knew that he was clever. They were not surprised when he built a large wooden
clock. He made each piece after studying a small pocket watch. The clock made him famous, for it was one
of the first clocks built in America. People from other places began to send hard problems of all kinds to
Benjamin to settle.
Thomas Jefferson learned of Benjamin Bannered"s ability to settle hard problems. He asked Bannered to help
build the city that was to be the capital of the United States-Washington, D. C.
Bannered worked hard on the plans for the city. He marked where the streets and buildings-the Capital ( 国
会大厦 ), the White House, and many others-should be built.
Later, L" Enfant, the Frenchman who designed the new city, had a quarrel, and went back to France in
anger. He took all of the plans with him. The workmen couldn"t build without any plans to follow.
For a while it seemed that the plans for the capital might have to be changed. But Benjamin Bannered
remembered the plans he had helped draw. He drew each again just as he once had built each piece of his
clock.
If it weren"t for Benjamin Bannered, Washington, D. C. might look very different from the way it does
today.
B. he used to be an assistant to L" Enfant, who had designed the city Washington
C. he designed the city Washington when L" Enfant left
D. he was able to build the city Washington as L" Enfant left with his plans
B. his name spread all over America
C. he became the first man in America to build a clock
D. people came from other places to congratulate him
B. He was told Bannered was clever.
C. Bannered was hard-working.
D. He believed in Bannered.
B. he was never tired of working
C. he feared no difficulties
D. he was good at drawing
B. Benjamin Bannered"s mother taught him to write and read.
C. L" Enfant designed and built the City Washington, D. C.
D. Washington, D. C. is exactly the same as it was planned.
creates fantastic painting of birds, elephants, tigers, and giraffes by painting on skin. Born in Soverato, Italy,
Guido Daniele has been called "Hand Gogh"(after artist Vincent van Gogh) since he began creating works of
art on people"s hands in 1990.
Painting on the hands can be a challenge because, unlike canvas, the skin moves when rubbed. Daniele"s
models must remain perfectly still for hours as he paints. He often uses his daughter and his son as his
"canvases".
Before he can begin to create his "manimals" (the artist"s name for his hand animals", Daniele studies
photographs of the animal that he will be painting in order to be able to understand its character and give it life.
"next," he says, "I look at the hand from different perspectives (视角), and I begin to imagine what is the best
way to position the hand for me to paint the animal." He also studies the skin of the model, preferring it to have
little hair and few blemishes (瑕疵).
Daniele starts by drawing on the model"s hand with a pencil. He next paints the skin using watercolors made
specifically for body art. The eyes of Daniele"s painted animals look amazingly real, and they are most difficult
part to paint.
Paintings on hands must eventually be washed away. Guido Daniele says that he"s gotten used to this part
and that he doesn"t really mind seeing his work washed down the drain (排水沟). "Tomorrow, I will paint the
next one. The important thing is to take many good photographs before washing the hand!"
B. plants
C. stories
D. animals
B. why Daniele choose to paint "manimals"
C. how Daniele develops his own style of painting
D. how Daniele paints on the skin of his models
B. The animals which are painted on People"s hands by Daniele.
C. The artists who like paint animals.
D. The animals which Daniele uses as models.
B. He cares little about this.
C. He is satisfied to see this.
D. He in fact can"t accept this.
B. His works are mainly drawn with pencils.
C. He is an artist who paints on hands.
D. He often asks his wife to be his model.
scholarships (奖学金). The Alcindor"s decided to send their only child to Power Memorial Academy, a small
school on Manhattan"s West Side.
At Power, Alcindor came under the control of coach Jack Donohue, a strict young man who already
gained his fame as one of the best coaches in the city. Donohue brought Alcindor along slowly. As a first-year
student, the boy was not able to do much but wave his long skinny arms and shoot a basket now and then.
But by the second year, when he was 15 years old and nearly 7 feet tall, Alcindor was quick and skillful enough
to make the high school All-American Team and to lead Power to an undefeated season.
From then on he simply got better. Some rival coaches (对方教练) used to take their teams quickly away
from the floor before Power warmed up so that their players would not see him any sooner than they had to.
Wearing size 16D shoes and sucking a lollipop (棒棒糖), Alcindor would loosen up by starting his leaping lay-
ups (擦板球). Then he would casually shoot the ball with either hand, to the delight of the fans.
When reporters and photographers began to follow Alcindor closely, Donohue protected his boy firmly.
He simply ordered Lew to talk to no member of the press, and this suited Lew fine. He was not comfortable
talking to grown-ups, perhaps because he towered over them. Discouraged photographers began following him
in secret as though he were an easily-frightened giraffe. Once after ducking into a subway to escape, Alcindor
told a friend that it was all becoming like policemen and robbers. "People want you not for yourself," Donohue
warned him, "but because you"re a basketball player. Don"t forget that."
B. tall, skillful and successful
C. kind, powerful and undefeated
D. well-known, strict and experienced
B. Alcindor wasn"t quick and skillful enough to do
C. As a first-year student was not able to do much
D. Because he was too young to play
B. Their teams feared to see Alcindor
C. Their teams would lose courage
D. Their teams would lose interest
B. How Alcindor disliked meeting reporters
C. Why the press followed Alcindor closely
D. Why the public wanted Alcindor badly
engined aeroplane. At midnight, several hours after she had left Newfoundland, she ran into bad weather.
To make things worse, her altimeter (高度表) failed and she didn"t know how high she was flying. At night,
and in a storm, a pilot is in great difficulty without an altimeter. At times, her plane nearly plunged (冲) into
the sea.
Just before dawn, there was further trouble. Amelia noticed flames (火焰) coming from the engine.
Would she be able to reach land? There was nothing to do except keep going and hope.
In the end, Amelia Earhart did reach Ireland, and for the courage she had shown, she was warmly
welcomed in England and Europe. When she returned to the United States, she was honored by President
Hoover at a special dinner in the White House. From that time on, Amelia Earhart was famous.
What was so important about her flight? Amelia Earhart was the first woman to fly the Atlantic Ocean
alone, and she had set a record of fourteen hours and fifty-six minutes.
In the years that followed, Amelia Earhart made several flights across the United States, and on each
occasion she set a new record for flying time. Amelia Earhart made these flights to show that women had
a place in aviation (航空) and that air travel was useful.

not start painting until she was in her late seventies. As she once said of herself:"I would never sit back in
a rocking chair, waiting for someone to help me." No one could have had a more productive old age.
She was born Anna Mary Robertson on a farm in New York State, one of five boys and five girls. At
twelve she left home and was in domestic (家庭的) service until, at twenty-seven, she married Thomas
Moses, the hired hand of one of her employers. They farmed most of their lives, first in Virginia and then in
New York State, at Eagle Bridge. She had ten children, of whom five survived; her husband died in 1927.
Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery (刺绣) pictures as a hobby, but only
changed to oils in old age because her hands had become too stiff (硬的) to sew and she wanted to keep
busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first sold at a local market and were soon noticed by a businessman
who bought everything she painted. Three of the pictures exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art, and in
1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930s and her death she produced some 2,000
pictures: detailed and lively portrayals (描绘) of the country life she had known for so long, with a wonderful
sense of colour and form. "I think really hard till I think of something really pretty, and then I paint it." she
said.
