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．

4．A woman named Emily renewing her driver's license at the County Clerk's office was asked to state her occupation．She hesitated，uncertain how to classify herself．
"What I mean is，"explained the recorder，"do you have a job，or are you just a …"
"Of course I have a job，"said Emily．"I'm a mother．"
"We don't list‘mother'as an occupation…‘housewife'covers it，"said the recorder．
One day I found myself in the same situation．The clerk was obviously a career woman，confident and possessed of a high sounding title．"What is your occupation？"she asked．
The words simply popped out．"I'm a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations．"
The clerk paused，ballpoint pen frozen in midair．
I repeated the title slowly，then I stared with wonder as my statement was written in bold，black ink on the official questionnaire．
"Might I ask，"said the clerk with new interest，"Just what you do in this field？"
Coolly，without any trace of panic in my voice，I heard myself reply，"I have a continuing program of research （what mother doesn't），in the lab and in the field （normally I would have said indoors and out）．Of course，the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities （any mother care to disagree？），and I often work 14hours a day （24is more like it）．But the job is more challenging than most careers and rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money．"
There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk's voice as she completed the form，stood up，and showed me out．
As I drove into our driveway，buoyed up （受鼓舞） by my glamorous new career，I was greeted by my lab assistants---ages 13，7，and 3．
Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model （a 6month old baby），in the child-development program，testing out a new vocal pattern．
I felt proud!I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable （不可缺少的） to mankind than"just another mother．"
Motherhood…What a glorious career!Especially when there's a title on the door．

With less than ten seconds remaining，the ball suddenly rolled in front of my son's teammate，Mickey O'Donnel．With shouts of"Kick it!"echoing across the playground，Mickey turned around and gave it everything he had．All around me the crowd erupted．O'Donnel had scored!
Then there was silence．Mickey had scored all right，but in the wrong goal，ending the game in a tie．For a moment there was a total hush．You see，Mickey has Down syndrome（唐氏综合症）and for him there is no such thing as a wrong goal．All goals were celebrated by a joyous hug from Mickey．He had even been known to hug the opposing players when they scored．
The silence was finally broken when Mickey，his face filled with joy，hugged my son tightly and shouted，"I scored!I scored!Everybody won!Everybody won!"For a moment I held my breath，not sure how my son would react．I need not have worried．I watched，through tears，as my son threw up his hand in the classic high-five（致礼）salute and started chanting，"Way to go Mickey!Way to go Mickey!"Within moments both teams surrounded Mickey，joining in the chant and congratulating him on his goal．
