1.Charles Dickens (1812-1870),the great nineteenth century English novelist,was born near Portsmouth.His father ran heavily into debt and when he was twelve,he had to go and 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 1833with short stories and essays in periodicals(期刊),and in 1837his comic novel The Pickwick Papers made him the most popular author at his time in England.
He was a great observer of people and their places because he was attracted by life and conditions in mid-nineteenth century London.He wrote 19novels 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 middle class.Many of his novels like Oliver Twist,David Copperfield,Nicholas Nickleby,Great Expectations,A Tale of Two Cities and so on drew attention to the unsatisfactory social conditions that existed in England over a hundred years ago.Dickens criticized capitalist society from the point of view of bourgeois humanism.He wished to see improvement in the living conditions of the poor,but failed to find any effective means to achieve that end.

Amongst those interested in the machine were Paul Allen and Bill Gates.The pair contacted Dr Roberts,offering to write software that would help people program the machine.The pair finally moved to Albuquerque-the home of MITS-where they founded Micro-Soft,to develop their software.

10.I was in a terrible mood.Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadn't invited me.I was in my room thinking of ways to make them sorry when my father came in."Want to go for a ride,today,Beck?It's a beautiful day."
"No!Leave me alone!"Those were the last words I said to him that morning.
My friends called and invited me to go to the mall with them a few hours later.I forgot to be mad at them and when I came home to find a note on the table.My mother put it where I would be sure to see it."Dad has had an accident.Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital".
When I reached the hospital,my mother came out and told me my father's injuries were extensive."Your father told the driver to leave him alone and just call 911,thank God!If he had moved Daddy,there's no telling what might have happened.A broken rib(肋骨)might have pierced(穿透)a lung…"

It was several days later that he was finally able to have a conversation.I held his hand gently,afraid of hurting him.
"Daddy…I am so sorry…"
"It's okay,sweetheart.I'll be okay."
"No,"I said,"I mean about what I said to you that day.You know,that morning?"
My father could no more tell a lie than he could fly.He looked at me and said."Sweetheart,I don't remember anything about that day,not before,during or after the accident.But I remember kissing you goodnight the night before."He managed a weak smile.
My English teacher once told me that words have immeasurable power.They can hurt or they can heal.And we all have the power to choose our words.I intend to do that very carefully from now on.
