THIS year the US Mint will honor one of the country’s most famous writers.

“Mark Twain”，the pen name of Samuel Clemens(1835-1911) is loved by American readers for his novels Tom Sawyer(1876) and The Adventures of Huckberry Finn(1844).

Now he is going to have his life and work commemorated(纪念) with special gold and silver coins.

But does Twain need to be commemorated? It doesn’t seem like people in the US will forget him. Twain once joked that a lack(缺少)of money is the root of all evil(邪恶)” but a lack of money with Twain’s famous face on it wouldn’t have made people forget about him.

The Adventures of Huckberry Finn is thought to be his greatest works.

Motherless Huck Finn is a young boy who shows the spirit of freedom. But it could be said that Huck’s freedom really comes from Huck wanting to fly. When Huck gets away from his violent(暴力的) father，he isn’t really looking for freedom，but survival.

It’s even more of a problem for a slave. Jim，the escaped(逃跑的) slave who Huck helps， makes Huck’s life seem even better. It’s easier not to be able to deal with someone who wants to force you to go to school than to have to fight a law that says you are a piece of property(财产).

Huck and Jim’s friendship，as shown by Mark Twain，is one of the great stories in American literature because it shows a white character，Huck，who gets an idea of the African American experience.

Mark Twain is famous and would still be famous without any special coins. Anyway，the coins could be a reason to look again at the work of a writer who got under the skin of the US in the 19th century.

With the race issue(种族问题) far from dead in the US today，perhaps Twain still has something to teach today’s readers.

The holiday season will be here soon, and with it come tons of parties. Here's how to mind your manners at the dinner table:

First things first:

Mind the little details. Respond to invitations in time; it's always better to be overdressed; be fashionably on time; bring a gift for your host or hostess; and remember to silence your phone and keep it out of sight.

After you sit down:

The first thing you should do is place your napkin（餐巾）in your lap. Leave it there until the end of the meal. If you excuse yourself from the table, the most common practice is to place it on your seat until you return. If you're worried that your napkin has food on it that could make the seat or your clothes dirty when you sit back down, place it to the left of your plate instead.

To locate your bread plate and drink:

When in doubt, look to your hands. With your palms（手掌）facing each other, connect the tip of each pointer finger（食指）with your thumbs(拇指）. You'll see that your left hand will form a "b", and your right hand, a "d". These stand for "bread" and "drink", which you will find to your left and to your right, separately.

What to do with utensils（餐具）：

Your safest bet is to start from the outside-the utensils farthest from your plate-and move inward as the meal progresses. However, dessert（甜点）utensils may also be found above your plate.

Resting utensils:

If you are taking a break from eating, imagine your plate is a clock and place your knife and fork down at the 3 o'clock position. You can show that you are finished eating by placing your utensils in the 10 and 4 o'clock positions.

After the party:

Don't forget a thank-you note. It should be sent within two weeks after the event.

1.When attending a dinner at someone's home, you are advised to ________.

A.prepare a gift for the person who is hosting it

B.avoid being overly dressed up

C.thank the host or hostess for the invitation

D.turn your mobile phone off at the dinner table

2.Where should you place your napkin when you get up from the table?

A.Under your plate. B.On your plate.

C.To the left of the plate. D.Over the back of your chair.

3.What is normally put to your right side on the table?

A.Dessert utensils. B.Bread plate. C.Napkin. D.Drink.

4.To show you have finished eating, you can place your utensils in the ________ position.

A.1 o'clock B.3 o'clock C.4 o'clock D.9 o'clock
