10．If you see Jane，do convey my apologies to her．

20．Several years ago，Jeremy Clarkson，presenter of the famous BBC television programme‘Top Gear'，discovered that one of his guests was half German and half Irish．Immediately，he said："That's quite an odd combination．It's like，‘this must be done absolutely perfectly…tomorrow'"．
This joke played on stereotypes （刻板印象） of the Germans as efficient and the Irish as lazy．Many people could understandably be offended by these kinds of assertions．We do not know every Irish person，so how can we then conclude that every Irish person is lazy？
I recently read on a website that Irish business people were described as being‘generally rather casual'and‘more outwardly friendly than many European countries''．German business people，on the other hand，are considered to be very direct and according to the website，they‘do not need a personal relationship in order to do business'．Once you hear advice like this，it becomes easier to understand where jokes like the one in the first paragraph come from．
So why do some people disapprove of the kind of stereotypes as seen in Clarkson's joke，but not batting an eyelid when it comes to generalisations．What is the difference between the two？
By definition，a stereotype is a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing．A cultural characteristic，on the other hand，is a pattern of behaviour that is typical of a certain group．
So what does this really mean？Stereotypes are simply overstated assumptions about groups of people．Imagine if a tourist visited a small town in Switzerland and saw a number of locals playing the alphorn instrument，and then claimed that Swiss people can play the alphorn．This would be a stereotype!This is an overstated image of the Swiss which is based on one tourist's experience．
If，however，this tourist were to say that the Swiss are very punctual，this could be seen as a cultural characteristic．This is because it is a pattern of behaviour which is very typical in Switzerland：from their transport system to their business meetings．
In this way，some people argue that generalising another culture is not just useful，but important．Politicians always have to be mindful of the cultural characteristics of different countries．By becoming aware of different cultural characteristics，they can avoid causing offence in those cultures．
However，others argue that generalising cultures will always lead to offensive stereotypes．They argue that the best thing we can do is to stop generalising cultures and start treating people as individuals．
All this raises important questions：can making generalisations about groups of people be a positive thing？Or should we always avoid making broad assumptions about different groups？

7．When he wrote The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn，Mark Twain turned to Hannibal．The relationship between Hannibal and Twain began in November 1839，when Twain's father decided to leave the village in Florida and move east about 35miles to the somewhat larger and more prosperous Hannibal，on the banks of the Mississippi River．Twain marked his fourth birthday about a week after the family settled there．He showed little promise of becoming a long-term resident．However，because his health was so poor that his parents probably feared he would not survive childhood．
During the family's first few years in Hannibal，Twain was too young to understand fully the changes going on around him．About the time the family moved into their new home．Twain's health improved a lot．Instead of having to lead a quiet indoor life，he could roam the streets of Hannibal．Climb the surrounding hills，explore the area's caves and splash about in local swimming holes．He reveled in his newfound freedom，spending nearly all his free time playing outdoors with the other boys in town and soon becoming a leader．
Twain's carefree days did not last long，on March 24，1847，his father died．For the next six years，his brother Henry，and his sister Pamela lived with their mother in the family home．Twain began taking odd jobs after school to bring in extra money．Within a year of his father's death，he quit school and became an apprentice （学徒） printer，and when his brother Orion bought the Hannibal Journal in 1851，Twain went to work for him as a printer and editorial assistant．The stories he wrote for Orion's paper，his first publications，taught him that he much preferred writing to typesetting．Thus，when he decided to leave Hannibal in May 1853，he already had an idea of his future career．
33．Why did little Mark Twain move and live in Hannibal？C
A．Because he wanted to live in a larger and more prosperous city．
B．Because he wanted to wrote his novels there．
C．Because his father brought him there．

4．Visitors to central Austin，Texas，would easy to miss a small．old house called the O．Henry Museum．William Sydney Porter（1862-1910）-better known as O．Henry，was one of American best loved writers of short stories．Beginning in 1893，he lived here．It was saved from destruction，moved，and turned into a museum in 1934．The museum is a good way to learn about the interesting life of him．
William Porter rented the house and lived with his wife Athol and daughter Margaret for about two years．Many objects in the museum belonged to the Porters．Others didn't，but are in the house to recreate the way it looked during their lifetime．

Other troubles would lead the Porters to leave Austin．Porter was accused（起诉） of financial（经济的） wrongdoing at the bank and lost his job．Fearing a trial（审判），he fled the country．But he returned because his wife was dying．After her death，he faced the trial and was found guilty．He served three and a half years in a federal prison in Ohio．
Porter would keep his time in prison a secret．But there was one good thing about it．It provided him with time to write．By the time of his release，he had published 14stories and was becoming well-known as O．Henry．
Porter would later move to New York City and find great success there．He published over 380stories in the last eight years of his life．
