During his whole life, Mark Twain carried on many kinds of jobs. From 1864, he became a reporter and travelled in Europe. By the end of his life in 1910, he had become known as the perfect example of American author. Behind the mask of humour and satire, his writing often criticized social morals, politics and human nature, making his literature a unique reflection of the American experience in the latter part of thenineteenth century. In the 1890s Mark Twain became very poor. To recover from the bankruptcy, he started a world lecture tour, during which one of his daughters died. The death of his wife and his second daughter darkened his later years.Mark Twain died on April 21, 1910.Time line of the events1835- Haley's Comet welcomed the birth of Samuel Langhorn Clemens.

Huck Finn is drawn from life; Tom Sawyer also, but not from an individual —he is a combination of the three boys whom I knew. Although my book is intended mainly for the entertainment of boys and girls, I hope it will not be shocked by men and women, 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 strange adventures they sometimes took part in.The Adventures of Tom SawyerThis edition presents Twain's classic American novel in an unabridged text with a reader's guide that's suitable for both children and adults. Mark Twain's classic novel, The Adventures ofHuckleberry Finn, tells the story of a teenaged misfit who finds himself floating on a raft down the Mississippi River with an escaping slave, Jim. In the course of their perilous journey, Huck and Jim meet adventure, danger, and a cast of characters who are sometimes menacing and often hilarious. Though some of the situations in Huckleberry Finn are funny in themselves (the cockeyed Shakespeare production in Chapter 21 leaps instantly to mind), this book's humor is found mostly in Huck's unique worldview and his way of expressing himself. Describing his brief sojourn with the Widow Douglas after she adopts him, Huck says: "After supper she got out her book and learned me about Moses and the Bulrushers,and I was in a sweat to find out all about him; but by and by she let it out that Moses had been dead a considerable long time; so then I didn't care no more about him, because I don't take any stock in dead people." Underlying Twain's good humor is a dark subcurrent of Antebellum cruelty and injustice that makes The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn a frequently funny book with a serious message.His quotation: "Love your enemy, it will scare the hell out of them.”“The man who does not read books has no advantage over the man that cannot read them.”“Always tell the truth; then you don’t have to remember anything.”Humor has been well defined as thinking in fun while feelingin earnest.”幽默被人正确地解释为“以诚挚表达感受,寓深思于嬉笑”。

I thought you were excited too.M: Sure, I am. I am. I’m excited for the same reason as you are. I think we can do what you said---we can teach this baby how to grow up and become a loving person.W: So… is there a baby? What did the doctor say?M: It’s exactly what we wanted. We’re going to have a baby! Let’s start off by calling our families and telling them the good news. I believe our parents are going to be as thrilled as we are.Keys: 1.F 2.NG 3.TShort Conversations(Audio Script)1.

Love means never quitting on the one you love.Q: What does the woman NOT understand?4. W: If only I have more money, I would buy my parents everything they wanted.M: That’s a very nice thought, but it’s really not necessary. Visit them more.

I don’t think I’ve treated them any differently than my parents treated me and my sisters!M: So that’s where you learned it… from your parents?W: My parents were good. They raised three children.M: From what I can see, they didn’t teach you how to be a loving person. What is going to happen to our kids? If you keep treating them poorly, they’re going to grow up to be just like you.W: Listen, there’s a lot that I can learn about being a good mother, but I still think I’m doing a good job. Look at our kids. They’re already kind and loving people. And I don’t think you have any reason to worry.1.What are the two speakers talking about?

What is the probably relationship between the two speakers? DPassage(Audio Script)All parents want to raise a happy, successful and loving child, but there is little agreement about how best to reach this goal. Over the years, parents have tried dramatically different ways. They have put their baby on a schedule, or they have fed on demand; they have let their baby cry himself to sleep, or they have picked him up as soon as he cried; they have given their child whatever he wants, or they have taught him to get everything through his own efforts. These contrasting parenting strategies arise from quite different views of the nature of children and childhood and the roles of parents. Some parents view their child the roles of parents. Some parents view their child as naturally social. To them, their job is to allow him the space to succeed. Others think that their child should be taught how to act. There are probably positives and negatives to each method. None of them guarantees that your child will become the loving individual you want him to be.But some things are certain—a child will be more likely to be loving if you show him love, more successful if you give him examples of success, and happier if you are happy.1.What is this passage about? B2.What do parents NOT agree upon? A3. Why do parents have different methods for raising children? C4. How will a father raise his child if he believes his child is naturally social? C5.

Many studies have shown that regular activity and exercise can improve overall health substantially. Exercise reduces the risk of heart disease by up to 35%, stroke by about 28%, certain cancers by 20% and more, and high blood pressure by an amazing 52%. Exercise can also help you to build healthy bones and muscles. Athletes must do physical training on a regular basis to increase their level of performance. Exercising includes walking, running, hiking, and plenty of other activities as well. My advice would be to pick something you enjoy doing and wouldn't mind pursuing on a regular basis.Then, you must stick to a schedule. You can even pick a few different activities to mix things up and keep it interesting. Also, always stretch before physical activity! This is very important as you do not want to pull muscles. Most importantly, to keep a healthy body you must stay ACTIVE!(Words: 157)Key:BDDCANHCE听说教程第二版第3册练习答案Unit3Unit 3 Warming up(Audio Script)I am nearly 60 years old, and I like to do things the way I have always done them,following the same methods I have used for years.

DA Passage: Audio ScriptYoung people go to school to gather information, become respectable members of society, and prepare themselves either for university studies or for employment. And it is a teacher’s job to help students accomplish these goals. But are public schools teachers doing a good job?A recent report has an answer—NO. And the details are disturbing. For one, researchersclaim that 57% of all class time is wasted. During this time, no teaching or learning is actually taking place, as teachers have given this time to students to do whatever they wish. If students want to talk to friends or play computer games, that is what they do.Secondly, teachers are neglecting their classes by sometimes not even being in the room with their students. According to the report, teachers spend 33% of the time outside of the classroom where their students can’t see them. Thirdly, and probably most disturbing of all, 10% to 12% of teachers are drunk when they are giving their lessons.It is clear that something must change if public schools wish to help students accomplish their goals. And it seems that teachers should be supervised if improvements are to be made.(Words:1961. What is this passage mainly about? A2.
