20.The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a literary masterpiece written in 1876by the famous writer Mark Twain.The story line is simple.The book is like a biography(自传)of a summer in Tom Sawyer's life.Tom Sawyer is a smart but naughty young boy living in the small town on the Mississippi River.He is an orphan and lives with his aunt.He has many clever ideas,but doesn't like school,and always likes to escape the school to fish.Tom has a trusted friend,Huck Finn,who few of the adults approve of.Tom Sawyer and Finn have great adventures on the Mississippi River,pretending to be pirates(海盗),attending their own funeral(葬礼),and witnessing a murder(谋杀).Tom overcomes fear and appears in court and speaks out the murderer.He and his friends finally discover a lot of treasures and they become millionaires…
Mark Twain's writing is based on his own childhood and his personal experience.What makes this story great is that Tom Sawyer represents everything that is great about childhood.It is a story filled with action,adventure,ingenious ideas,love,and schoolyard politics.The whole story is seemingly a complication of what Twain did or wished to do during his childhood.
The book is a little difficult to read at first.Perhaps,it will take you a little while to get used to the 19th century dialect(方言) in the book.But on the whole,the book is an enjoyable read for people of all ages.I highly recommend (推荐)this book for anyone looking forward to feeling young again.

On a (42)A afternoon,everything changed.
Every once in a while,the sub-zero temperatures seal a(43)B windows shut.Drivers don't exactly enjoy having to stand outside in the cold,(44)C their orders into a speaker box,when they expect to drive through on their heated leather seats.In such cases,most customers tend to show their annoyance to the employees.
This woman was (45)D.
"I'll get the next car's(46)D as well,"she said as she came up to the window to pay.She stood outside,(47)C much snowon her hair.Though she was obviously freezing,her bright(48)B lit up her face like a fire.
"You can't(49)B their drinks,"I said,confused and tired.
"No,but I'll buy them,"she said."Pay it forward and all that."
Completely puzzled,I charged her as (50)B,and when the next customer arrived at the window I explained what had just hppened.I watched as his(51)B changed-first angry to be out in the cold,then (52)C at the random act of kindness,and finally,delighted by his(53)D.
"I suppose I'll pay for the next order then,"he replied,nodding and waving at the impatient driver(54)D him.He(55)C over the cash and received his pre-paid hot drink.
The trend continued.Customers arrived annoyed only to leave(56)B and pleased.Some were shocked to spend much more than they had expected,(57)A others ended up receiving their order for less than half the price.
Five vehicles passed,then ten,then twenty No one refused to pay.Customers stood at my window(58)B a fist-full of change to buy drinks for a complete stranger.Cars drove off,honking (鸣笛) and (59)B their thanks.
It only takes one customer,one person,to change the entire (60)C of traffic.It only takes one moment,one smile,to warm up even the coldest of days.
