14.This year the US will honour (纪念)one of the country's most famous writers-Mark Twain (1835-1910).Most readers know that his real name was Samuel Longhome Clemens,but how many know where the pen name"Mark Twain"came from?
The answer shows Clemens'colourful early life before he became a writer."Mark Twain"was the cry shouted on a ship when the ship entered a part of a river that was two fathoms (6 feet)deep."Twain"is an old-fashioned way of saying"two".Twain trained as a ship pilot on the Mississippi river for two years,a time that he wrote about in the humorous Life on the Mississippi(1883).
The famous river would become an important theme in many of his works-who could forget the journey of Huck an Jim along it in his most famous book.The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn(1884)?
With little education,he had to teach himself how to write stories.Whenever possible,he would go to public libraries.There he spent much time reading and thinking,which greatly helped him with his writing.
On the other hand,his life experiences gave him wonderful material to write about and attract readers.Twain wrote in a style that has been called"local colour"because it shows great  knowledge of local people and their customs.
This gift is very clear in the two books for which Twain is still celebrated today:The Adventures of Tom Sawyer(1876)and its follow-up The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,which many people call"The Great American Novel".
The most amazing invention in the book is the voice of Huck himself.Huck did not enjoy schooling.It shows in the way he uses language,in a spoken style.Only a master like Twain could copy the way a young southern boy talked so well.

12.There are many useful inventions in the world.
Have you ever wished to have an umbrella that makes your hands free?Alan Kaufman has thought up the"Nubrella",which means"new"+"umbrella".It is the first truly hands-free umbrella in the world.The inventor says that it stops rain,wind and snow and can keep your head,face and hair dry.
"I never planned to invent a product.I just noticed a problem and thought up a solution,"said the inventor.The idea for the invention began on one rainy day.Mr Kaufman was standing in one of his stores.He began to look at people's umbrellas.He found that they had to try very hard to keep their umbrellas in the right place.At that moment an idea came into his mind.He ran to his desk and drew a picture.In this way,the Nubrella was born.
One cool feature of the Nubrella is that you don't hold it like a usual umbrella,you wear it.The shoulder straps(肩带) of the Nubrella allow people to be fully hands-free,so when walking in the rain with the Nubrella,you are able to use your cell phone or drink a hot cup of coffee.Also,the Nubrella will never be inverted(颠倒) in the wind.The new umbrella is far safer than traditional ones,because it has no sharp points.
