"The pen is more powerful than the sword (剑)." There have been many writers who used their pens to fight things that were wrong. Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe was one of them. She was born in the USA in 1811. One of her books not only made her famous but has been described as one that excited the world, and was helpful in causing a civil war and freezing the slaves. The civil war was the American Civil War of 1861, in which the Northern States fought the Southern States and finally won. This book was named "Uncle Toms Cabin". There was time when every English-speaking man, woman, and child has read this novel that did so much to stop slavery. Not many people read it today, but it is still very interesting. The book has shown us how a warm-hearted writer can arouse (唤起) peoples sympathies (同情). The writer herself had neither been to the Southern States nor been a slave. The Southern Americans were very angry at the novel, which they said did not at all represent (代表) true state of affairs,

第14题:
A centuries-old tradition,illustrated in a modem children's book. 1inks the sweetness of honey with the joy of learning to read.
“The grandpa held a jar of honey so that all the family could see. He then dipped a spoon into it and put some honey on the cover of a small book.
The little girl had just turned five.
‘Stand up,little one,’he asked the girl softly. ‘I did this for your mother,your uncles,your older brother,and now you!’
Then,he handed the book to her. ‘Taste!’
She touched the honey with her finger and put it into her mouth.
‘What's that taste?’the grandpa asked.
The little girl answered,‘Sweet!’
Then all of the family said in a single voice,‘Yes,and so is knowledge,but knowledge is from the bee that made that sweet honey,you have to go after it through the pages of a book!’
The little girl knew that the promise to read was at last hers. Soon she was going to learn to read. ”
This is the beginning of a profoundly moving children's book entitled Thank You,Mr. Falker. In this book,Patricia Polacco writes of her own passion to read,inspired by the honey on the book. It wasn't until fifth grade that she met her beloved teacher who provided the hlep that she needed to finally unlock the magic of the written word.
Reading this book,we are in fact acquainted with some enduring traditions of child education that stress the importance of verbal capacity at a very early age.
The child learning to read is admitted into a collective memory by way of books. And with the printed words that are active with meaning,the child becomes acquainted with a common past which he or she renews,to a greater or lesser degree,in every reading. Much as the author of the book Thank You,Mr. Falker puts it,“Almost as if it were magic,or as if light poured into her brain,the words and sentences started to take shape on the page as they never had before…And she understood the whole thing…Then she went into the living room and found the book on a shelf,the very book that her grandpa had shown her so many years ago. She spooned honey on the cover and tasted the sweetness…Then she held the book,honey and all,close to her chest. She could feel tears roll down her cheeks,but they weren't tears of sadness-she was happy,so very happy. ”
The girl who tasted the honey on the book was______.
A.nearly six years old
B.less than five years old
C.more than six years old
D.a little more than five years old

第20题:
Literacy Volunteer Last summer I went through a training program and became a literacy volunteer (扫盲志愿者). The training I received, though excellent, did not tell me how it was to work with a real student, however. When I began to discover what other people's lives were like because they could not read, I realized the true importance of reading. My first student Jane was a 44-year-old single mother of three. In the first lesson, I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didn't know which bus to take. When I told her I would get her a bus schedule, she told me it would not help because she could not read it. She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because she couldn't always remember what she needed. Since she did not know words, she could not write out a shopping list. Also, she could only recognize items by their labels. As a result, if the product had a different label, she would not recognize it as the product she wanted. As we worked together, learning how to read built Jane's self-confidence, which encouraged her to continue in her studies. She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket. After this successful trip, she reported how self-confident she felt. At the end of the program, she began helping her youngest son, Tony, a shy first grader, with his reading. She sat with him before he went to sleep and together they would read bedtime stories. When his eyes became wide with excitement as she read pride was written all over her face, and she began to see how her own hard work in learning to read paid off. As she described this experience, I was proud of myself, too. I found that helping Jane to build her self-confidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before. As a literacy volunteer, I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others. In fact, I may have learned more from the experience than Jane did. I once could not read.()
