1835, Clemens grew up in the Mississippi River town of Hannibal, Missouri. As did many other young people
of his day, Clemens dreamed of traveling on riverboats and of someday becoming a riverboat pilot. He used
his memories (记忆) of the life of a river town in his two most famous books, Huckleberry Finn and Tom
Sawyer.
As a young man, Clemens held many jobs. He was a printer (印刷工), a gold miner (矿工) and a riverboat
pilot. During his pilot days, he used the name Mark Twain. This was a term used on the river to mean that
the water measured (测量) 2 fathoms (英寻), or 4 meters (nearly 12 feet), which was deep enough for safe
passage.
Finally Twain became a successful writer. He traveled a great deal, writing and speaking. He became very
popular both in the United States and in Europe.
Twain's style of writing was simple and direct. Among the things that he wrote about were superstitious
(迷信的) people and people who were really fool. He used his unusual gift for humor (幽默) to write about
many things of importance.
( )1. This article as a whole is about a riverboat pilot.
( )2. Mark Twain worked as a pilot all the time before he became a successful writer.
( )3. Mark Twain knew much about the Mississippi.
( )4. It is very difficult to understand Mark Twain's works.
( )5. Huckleberry Finn is a book about the life of the Mississippi River.
Mark Twain was famous in his days as a public speaker. In his public speeches he always liked to tell funny stories. He also liked to listen to funny stories and play jokes on his friends.
One day one of his friends lost his wallet and asked Mark Twain to pay his train fare （车费）for him.
“But I don’t have enough money to pay both your fare and mine, ”Mark Twain said. The friend didn’t know what to do.
“We can do this, ”said Mark Twain. “We can get on the train and when the conductor(列车员) comes to check the tickets，you can hide(藏) under my seat. ”
Later, however, when the conductor came to check the tickets, Mark Twain gave him two tickets－one for his friend and one for himself . Then he explained in a loud voice. “My friend here is a strange man. When he travels on a train, he doesn’t like to sit on the seat. He prefers （宁愿）to lie on the floor under the seat. ”Of course everybody in the train looked at the poor friend and laughed at him loudly.
