7．Charles Dickens is probably England's most popular author．He was born in Portsmouth，England in 1812．He started attending school at the age of nine，but was forced to leave when he was 12because his father had been put in prison for getting into debt after carelessly spending his money．Dickens worked in a shoe factory during his father's time in prison．Fortunately，his father was released from prison later the same year and Dickens was able to return to schooL
At the age of 15，Dickens started to work as a clerk．Then he was given a better-paid job as a law court reporter，because he could write quickly．
In 1836，he then decided to write his first book，Pickwick Papers，a kind of comic for adults．This book was followed by many more including Oliver Twist，Nicholas Nickleby，and so on．With these books，Dickens continued to describe the poor conditions that the working classes and poor people had to live under．He hoped that by doing so，things could change for the better but the situation just seemed to get worse．
In 1842，Dickens went to America and lectured in favor of international copyright，so that authors could get paid when their books were published in another country．By 1857，Dickens was famous for his writing and he had gained many international fans．He became very rich and was able to tour America and Europe to talk about his works．
In 1860，Dickens wrote one of his most popular stories，Great Expectations，the story of a young boy，with no money，who aspired to become rich one day．Perhaps Dickens was thinking about his own early life when deciding on the topic of the story．
On 8th June，1870，having spent the day working on what was to be his last novel，The Mystery of Edwin Drood，Dickens suddenly fell down at the dinner table and died the next evening．
21．What was the first job Dickens took in his life？A
A．A factory worker．
B．An office clerk．
C．A news reporter．
D．A writer．

A．Comic adult life．
B．Common people living in hardship．
C．The transformation of people from poor to rich．
D．The better living conditions of the working classes．
23．What can we infer from the fourth paragraph？C

5．A student was one day taking a walk with his teacher．As they went along，they saw a pair of old shoes lying in the path．They were a poor farmer's，who was working in the nearby field．
The student turned to the teacher，saying："we will hide his shoes，and hide ourselves behind those trees，and wait to see what he will do．"
"My young friend，"answered the teacher，"we should never make fun of the poor．Why not put a coin in each shoe，and then we will hide ourselves and watch？"The student did so and they both hid themselves behind the trees．The poor man soon finished his work，and came across the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes．

He couldn't control his feelings and fell to his knees，looked up to the sky and expressed his thanks．Then he spoke of his wife，sick and helpless，and his children without bread．He said the help would save them from dying．
The student stood there deeply moved，and his eyes filled with tears．"Now，"said the teacher，"are you not much happier than if you had hidden the shoes？"

12．There was once a captain who loved money so much that he cheated his sailors at the end of every voyage and took their wages．
On the last day of one voyage，the ship was in a small port．It was winter time，and the sea was very cold，so the captain said to his sailors，"If one of you stays in the water during the whole night，I will give him my ship．But if he comes out before the sun appears，I shall get his wages．"
The sailors had heard about the captain's cheating，so they didn't trust him．But then one of them，who thought that he was cleverer than the captain，said that he would do it．He got into the water，and，though it was very cold，he stayed in it．When it was nearly morning，some fishermen lit a fire on the shore about half a mile away．

"But it's half a mile away!"said the sailor．

"There it is，"answered the sailor．"On the shore．"
