1. （ ）
Charles Dickens is often thought of as one of England's great writers. Yet for many his language is
old-fashioned and his story plots often improbable. Why, Dickens, out of so many other great English
writers, has made the list? How then to explain Dickens's enduring popularity?
2. （ ）
One reason undoubtly is the British government's insistence that every child studies a Dickens novel at
school. Alongside Willian Shakespeare, Charles Dickens is a compulsory (必读的) writer on every English
literature school reading list. His stories, though often over-long by today's standard,are superbly written
moral tales. They are filled with colorful characters.
3. （ ）
But what makes his books stand out from other English writers is his insight into human nature. Dickens,
like Shakespeare, tells us truths about human behavior that are as true to citizens of the 21st century as they
were to his readers in the 19th century. Readers have returned to Dickens's books again and again over the
years to see what he has to say about readers'own time.
4. （ ）
The BBC adapted one of his less well-known novels, Little Dorrit, into a popular television drama that
introduced many Brits to the novel for the first time. A dark story about greed and money, it was the perfect
story to illustrate the bad times. No surprise then that it was Dickens Britons turned to, during the economic
crisis last year, to make sense of world rapidly falling apart.
5. （ ）
Readers of the 19th and early 20th century usually prized Dickens's earlier novels for their humor and
pathos (悲痛). While recognizing the virtues of these books, critics today tend to rank more highly the later
works because of their formal coherence and acute perception (洞察力) of the human condition. For as long
as Dickens's novels have something to say to modern audiences, it seems likely that he will remain one of
Britain's best loved writers.

| Gift Giving 1.______ There are many occasions (场合) for giving gifts in modern industrialized societies: birthdays, naming ceremonies, weddings, anniversaries, New Year. It is common to give gifts on many of these celebrations in western cultures. In addition, special events, such as one's first day of school or graduation from university, often require gift giving. 2.______ What is happening when we give gifts? Most important, we are exchanging gifts. If someone gives me a gift for my birthday, I know that I am usually expected to give one on his or her next birthday. A gift builds up or confirms a social obligation (义务). 3.______ Gifts tighten personal relationships and provide a means of communication between loved ones. People say that a gift lets the recipient (接受者) know we are thinking of them, and that we want to make the person "feel special." We want people to feel wanted, to feel part of our social or family group. We give presents to say "I'm sorry." Sometimes it is difficult for us to find a present that someone will like. Sometimes we give things that we like or would feel comfortable with. In all these cases, the gifts are sending out messages-often very expressive ones. 4.______ People tend to talk about presents in a fairly loving way. A woman whose mother had died years ago described the many gifts around her house. These were gifts that her mother had given her over the years:"I appreciate these, and they mean something to me," the woman said, "because I remember the occasions they were given on, and that they were from my mother, and the relationship we've had." The gifts remain and keep the relationship alive in mind. This woman felt the same way about the gifts she gave to others. She hoped that the recipients would look at her gifts in years to come and remember her. 5.______ Emotions (情感) like these suggest that a positive spirit still lies behind gift giving. They prove that the anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss was wrong to say that modern western gift giving is highly wasteful. Studies in Canada and elsewhere have also shown that this is not the case. Each gift is unique even if so many are given. The emotional benefit for those who exchange gifts is the very reason for the tradition to continue. |

| For several years, Americans have enjoyed teleshoppingwatching TV and buying things by phone. 1 In a number of European countries, people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes ,jewelry, food, toys, and many other things. 2 For example, the biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries, and in one year it made $100 million. In France there are two teleshopping channels, and the French spend about $ 20 million a year to buy things through those channels. In Germany, until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for 1 hour every day. Then the government allowed more teleshopping. Other channels can open for telebusiness, including the largest American teleshopping company and a 24hour teleshopping company. 3 Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes. With all the problems of traffic in the cities, this is an important reason, but at the same time, other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping. 4 Many Europeans usually worry about the quality of the things for sale on TV. Good quality is important to them ,and they believe they cannot be sure about the quality of the things on TV. 5 They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person. | |
