42、 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. “Im a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.”The clerk paused

43、, ballpoint pen frozen in midair.

51、s was one of the most beloved storytellers in the English language. His novels made him famous in his own time, and continue as classics in ours.Dickens began his literary career with almost no formal education. He was born in Landport, on Feb. 7, 1812, the second of eight children. When he was 12,

52、his father was sent to debtors prison. Dickens was forced to quit school and work in a London blacking factory. He would rework that terrible experience into his fiction for the rest of his life.“He was a social reformer,” says actor Simon Callow, author of a new biography called Charles Dickens and

53、 the Great Theatre of the World. “He knew what poverty was. He knew what it was to be rejected, to be cast aside, to live in squalor(悲惨).”And so Dickens wrote with great sympathy for the suffering of innocent and vulnerable(易受攻击的) childrencharacters like David Copperfield, Little Dorrit and the orph

54、an, Oliver Twist：With his slice of bread in his hand, and his little brown parish cap on his head, Oliver was now led away from the wretched(苦难的) home, where one kind word or look never lighted the gloom of his infant(幼儿) days.Yet he burst into an agony of childish grief as the cottage gate closed a

55、fter him. Wretched as were the little companions in misery he was now leaving behind him, they were the only friends he had ever had.His first book Sketches by Boz came out in 1836. With the appearance of Oliver Twist in London periodicals in 1837, the 25-year-old Dickens became the most popular wri

56、ter in England. But his first love was theater, and he considered becoming an actor.“When he was actually writing, he became his characters,” says Peter Ackroyd, author of Dickens: Public Life and Private Passion. “He would get up from his desk, go over to the mirror and mouth the wordsdo the expres

57、sions, grimaces(鬼脸), whatever, and then laugh, chuckle to himself, then go back to his desk and write it down.”Dickens created 989 named characters, which increased his popularity. Every one of his major works has been adapted for either stage or screen. A Christmas Carol inspired more than a dozen

58、films, from Alistair Sims Scrooge in 1951 to Jim Carreys voicing of the same character in Disneys 2022, 3-D animated film.The original 1843 manuscript(手稿) of A Christmas Carol is on display at the Morgan Library. Dickens wrote everything by hand, in tiny script, with a quill pen. Remarkably, the man

59、uscript is both the first and the final draft, says Kiely, the curator. You can see where Dickens has changed the name of the first chapter from “Old Marleys Ghost” to “Marleys Ghost”. Further down the page, he has canceled an entire section.“He realizes hes not writing a novel, and he only has a ve

60、ry short time in which to write this,” Kiely explains. “Hes got to keep it tight, in order for it to be published in time for Christmas.”Dickens wrote all the time. He traveled with a portable inkwell and a supply of quill pens. He was working on his last novel, Our Mutual Friend, en route from Fran

61、ce to London when the train he was on crashed.Dickens died five years later in 1870, after a stroke at age 58. As a comic talent and a social reformer, Dickens achievement was extraordinary, says novelist T. C. Boyle, who earned a doctorate in Victorian literature.“He achieved what any great artist

62、achievesa body of work that has entertained and delighted and instructed people down through the ages. Thats what we all hope for,” says Boyle.But Dickens greatest fiction was his own character, says Callow, the biographer：“People think of him as a cheerful man. but he was increasingly suffering fro

63、m depression and a sense of hopelessness. And thats worth knowing. I think its always good to know that great creative individuals have their struggle, their drama.”66. What can probably be reflected in Dickens works?A. His love for his family. B. His childhood sufferings.C. His desire for formal ed

64、ucation. D. His reason to choose literary career.67 The author quotes Dickens description of Oliver Twist mainly to show _A. that Dickens was full of pity for poor childrenB. that Dickens knew well about poor childrenC. what real poverty was like in his daysD. what kind of life Oliver Twist lived68.

65、 It can be inferred from the passage that _A. Sketches by Boz is nothing but a complete failureB. Oliver Twist made Dickens first known to the publicC.

68、 lessons can be learnt in a classroom environment. Overall development of students demands that they get the opportunity to participate in extra-curricular activities in school as well. This is why international schools in some countries aim for a perfect balance between the academic and non-academi

69、c learning. Students are given a chance to try their hands at a range of activities like sports, art, music, dancing, fine arts, etc. This ensures that students get the much required break from dull classroom learning and develop their talent as well.In some schools, participating in these activitie

Against the common mistaken belief that these events are not as important as regular learning, they develop essential qualities in students like competition spirit, creative thinking, balancing priorities and team spirit. Here is what s

71、tudents could learn by participating in them.With extra-curricular activities in school, students can train themselves to manage their time and prioritize their work. These are skills that are essential to meet the demands of a busy working life and are best if developed early. It is also the steppi

72、ng stone to learn multi-tasking later on in life. As adults, theyll need to jungle several tasks in professional and personal life. Dividing time between academic and non-academic requirements will give them the required discipline in terms of time management and ability to set priorities.Like class

But when asked about her sons advantages, she kept silent, not knowing what to say.The picture reflects a real problem in our daily family life. Parents tend to have high expectations on them. They take it for granted t

83、hat their children should be obedient and focus on their lessons only. If their children make a decision on their own or cant live up to their expectations, they will complain a lot, turning a blind eye to their childrens strong points. In my opinion, a better understanding really matters. As adolescents are mostly rebellious, its up to parents to be patient and tolerant and give more encouragement and guidance instead of complaints. For childrens part, they had better learn to see things from a different angle, for loving but strict parents is a guarantee of their healthy growth - 19 -
