【题目】Everyone has some opinion about history, no matter how ill-informed.Walking through a parking lot in a university in Miami, I noticed a bumper sticker (车尾贴纸) that said, “Ruin a Liberal’s (自由派) Day—Recite Historical Fact!” But Marwick thinks this sort of opinion is just fine; it is unavoidable that we all feel a sense of ownership of history.

History never stands still, as Marwick says at the beginning of The Nature of History, “The shape and content of history, too, vary according to the methods and materials available to different generations.” Marwick’s goal is to explain, in plain language, the changes in the way history is done up to the present; one method is to connect history with advances in the physical sciences. Marwick examines a number of case studies toward the end of the book. He ends the book with a refreshing collection of aphorisms (格言) about history. History truly belongs to each and every man and we all belong to history; with the proper education, history can be made more accessible to everyone.

Marwick relates how inventions and the physical sciences have driven historical changes. Dropping a ball in a vacuum will reveal the same properties (性质) each time the experiment is conducted, providing the conditions are the same. But historians obviously do not have the luxury of reproducing such conditions; historians view the past through the present which depends on invention and science.

By looking at the changing nature of history, Marwick feels the study progressing. Although Marwick suspects some people would accuse a historian of creating job security with the endless views of the past, he insists it is imperative based on the philosophy, science, and new materials of the age. History, according to Marwick, must be for everyone and not remain locked behind the walls of academia.

【题目】The girl was hanging by her hands from the railings of a balcony(阳台的栏杆). The balcony was on the twelfth floor of the high-rise block next to his. His flat was on the ninth floor and he had to look up to see her. It was half-past six in the morning. He had been awakened by the sound of an aircraft flying dangerously low overhead, and had got out of bed to look. His sleepy eyes, moved from the blue sky which was empty of cloud, empty of anything but the bright disappearing arrow of the aircraft, and then rested on the hanging figure.

He really thought he must be dreaming, for this sunrise time was the hour for dreams. Then, when he knew he wasn’t, he decided it must be a scene in a film. There were cameramen down there, a whole film unit, and all the correct safety precautions had been taken. Probably the girl wasn’t even a real girl, but a dummy(假人). He opened the window and looked down. The car park, paved courts, grass spaces between the blocks, all were deserted. On the balcony rail one of the dummy’s hands moved, desperately. He had to believe then what was obviously happening. The girl was trying to kill herself. She had lost her courage and now was trying to stay alive. All these thoughts and conclusions of his occupied about thirty seconds. Then he acted. He picked up the phone and dialed the emergency number for the police.

The arrival of the police cars and the rescue of the girl became the focus of talk for the people of the two blocks. Someone found out that it was he who had called the police and he became an unwilling hero. He was a modest, quiet young man, and was in relief when the talk began to die away. Again he was able to enter and leave his flat without being pointed at as a kind of St George and sometimes even congratulated.

About a fortnight after that morning, he was getting ready to go to the theatre, just putting on his overcoat, when the doorbell rang. He didn’t recognize the girl who stood outside. He had never seen her face. She said, “I’m Lydia Simpson. You saved my life. I’ve come to thank you.”

【1】What did the man do first after he got up?

A. He looked down from the window.

B. He went to see the noisy aircraft.

C. He called the police to save the girl.

D. He hurried to check who was outside.

【2】The moment the man saw the girl hanging there, he felt it was _________.

A. scaring B. desperate

C. unbelievable D. dangerous

【3】We can learn from the passage that __________.

A. the man disliked to be talked about

B. the girl was unwilling to be rescued

C. the police arrived quickly on the scene

D. the girl was actually an actress in a film

【题目】Dear Reader,

I receive many letters from children and can’t answer them all—there wouldn’t be time enough in a dayThat is why I am sending you this printed reply to your letterI’ll try to answer some of the questions that are commonly asked.

Where did I get the idea for Stuart Little and for Charlotte’s Web? Well, many years ago I went to bed one night in a railway sleeping car, and during the night I dreamed about a tiny boy who acted rather like a mouseThat’s how the story of Stuart Little got started.

As for Charlotte’s Web, I like animals and my barn(谷仓)is a very pleasant place to be, at all hoursOne day when I was on my way to feed the pig, I began feeling sorry for the pig because, like most pigs, he was doomed to dieThis made me sadSo I started thinking of ways to save a pig’s lifeI had been watching a big grey spider at her work and was impressed by how clever she was at weavingGradually I worked the spider into the story that you know, a story of friendship and salvation(拯救)on a farmThree years after I started writing it, it was published.(I am not a fast worker, as you can see.

Sometimes I’m asked how old I was when I started to write, and what made me want to writeI started early—as soon as I could spellIn fact, I can’t remember any time in my life when I wasn’t busy writingI don’t know what caused me to do it, or why I enjoyed it, but I think children often find pleasure and satisfaction in trying to set their thoughts down on paper, either in words or in picturesI was no good at drawing, so I used words insteadAs I grew older, I found that writing can be a way of earning a living.

Some of my readers want me to visit their schoolSome want me to send a picture, or an autograph, or a bookAnd some ask questions about my family and my animals and my petsMuch as I’d like to, I can’t go visitingI can’t send books, either—you can find them in a bookstore or a libraryMany children assume that a writer owns or even makeshis own booksThis is not true—books are made by the publisherIf a writer wants a copy, he must buy itThat’s why I can’t send booksAnd I do not send signatures—I leave that to the movie starsI live most of the year in the country, in New EnglandFrom our windows we can look out at the sea and the mountainsI live near my married son and three grandchildren.

Are my stories true, you ask? No, they are imaginary tales, containing fantastic characters and eventsIn real life, a family doesn’t have a child who looks like a mouse; in real life, a spider doesn’t spin words in her webIn real life, a swan doesn’t blow a trumpetBut real life is only one kind of life—there is also the life of the imaginationAnd although my stories are imaginary, I like to think that there is some truth in them, too—truth about the way people and animals feel and think and act.

Yours sincerelyE.BWhite
