I walked into the Huddle House Restaurant in Brunswick, Georgia and sat down at the table. I picked up the menu and was to order something for breakfast.

“Excuse me,”

I looked up and a nice-looking woman standing before me.

“Is your name Roger?” asked.

“Yes,” I answered, feeling rather confused(迷惑) as I had never seen her before.

“My name’s Barbara and my is Tony, “she he said, pointing to a middle-aged man sitting alone at the table by the window. He was and weak.

“Tony White, from Landon School in Jacksonville, Florida.” She added.

I looked at that man for a few seconds, I didn’t recognize(認(rèn)識) him.

“I’m really sorry. The name doesn’t ring the bell,”I said.

She walked back, began with her husband and once in a while I saw her turn around and look directly at me.

I ordered breakfast and a cup of , sitting there, trying to remember who this Tony was. “I know him,” I thought to myself. “He recognizes me for some reason.” I picked up the coffee cup. All of a sudden it came to me like a flash of lightning.

“Tony, the bully, the bad boy!” I could believe my eyes. “Jesus! He’ s so thin now. Not the big boy that I from back in 1977.”

Everything came up to my mind. The time this boy had made fun of my big ears in front of the girls in my class, and the time this big bully had pushed me against the walls in the hallway just to make himself a big man to all other students.

“I am sorry, Roger,” Tony rolled by me in the wheelchair, being pushed by his wife, raising his thin trembling hand. “I am so sorry for that I did to you.”

“I’m…I’m er…” I didn’t know what to to him.

After a few months later, I received a letter from Barbara. Tony was . Tony had been a fireman and had been seriously wounded in a task.

How I regretted for not saying something to him but I no longer had the chance!

Mark Twain is someone Americans are taught to love. Older relatives, English teachers and the media always praise him. But when you actually take the time to read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, you find that his work is more wonderful than you could ever imagine.

The novel describes a young boy named Tom Sawyer growing up in a small town along the Mississippi River. He explores the countryside on a riverboat with his friends, falls in love with girls, starts secret clubs and searches for treasure. Twain’s idea of childhood is magical – a time of imagination, wonder and, of course, adventure.

More importantly, through the eyes of Tom Sawyer, Twain cleverly makes fun of US culture. For example, Tom hates going to church, and Twain uses scenes of Tom there to mock religion(宗教) and its old traditions.

Twain’s writing is full of these kinds of critical (批判的) points about culture and politics(政治). That’s why he is so loved in the US – he wasn’t afraid to state his opinions, and he did so clearly.

He also believed strongly in women’s right to vote in elections and gave a famous speech on the subject, called “Votes for Women”, in 1901.

“Tom was a great hero once more——the pet of the old, the envy of the young,” Twain writes in Tom Sawyer. But he could just as well be describing himself.

A. it’s not worth all the praise

B. it’s as wonderful as you imagined

C. it’s better to read it with teachers

2.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?

A. A brief(簡要的) description of the novel.

B. Where Twain’s idea of childhood comes from.

C. How naughty and adventurous Tom Sawyer is.

D. What makes Tom Sawyer’s adventures so wonderful.

3.What does the underlined word “mock” mean?

A. make changes to B. make fun of

C. give reasons for D. give examples of

4. Why is Twain so loved in the US according to the article?

A. He supported women’s right to vote.

B. He wrote bad things about US wars abroad.

C. He criticized American culture and society(社會) clearly and cleverly.

D. He showed readers a magical childhood that everyone would love.
