题目内容
【题目】Charles Dickens(狄更斯) was born in London in 1812. His family was rather poor. Two days after his 13th birthday, Dickens started working in a factory. In his life, he changed several jobs and met all kinds of people. Many of his novels were based on his past experiences. Dickens started writing novels in his early thirties and became successful almost immediately. Oliver Theist, his second novel, came out in 1838 and was very successful. It told a story of a young orphan(孤儿) in the dangerous streets of London. The story has a happy ending—the young boy finds his real parents and a lowing home. Because of this novel, great attention was paid to poor children. Over the next 25 years, Dickens wrote many other popular novels which are still read today. His books are liked by both the American and the British.
