Mark Twain-the Mirror of America1 Most Americans remember Mark Twain as the father of Huck Finn's idyllic cruise through eternal boyhood and Tom Sawyer's endless summer of freedom and adventure.

1.About mark twain （黄洋）
马克吐温趣事
•一次马克吐温参加宴会，席间他对一位贵妇说：“夫人，你太美丽了！”不 料那妇人却说：“先生，可是遗憾得很，我不能用同样的话回答你。头脑灵 敏，言辞犀利的马克· 吐温笑着回答：“那没关系，你也可以像我一样说假话。 "
A. the exploration of Twain's personal life was put into the context of major events in the America historical period of his time, such as civil war, western Expansion, and gold Rush.
• 金矿被发现后，美国沸腾，世界震撼。近在咫尺的圣弗朗西斯 科首先感受到了淘金热的冲击，几乎所有的企业停止了营业， 海员把船只抛弃在了圣弗朗西斯科湾，士兵离开了营房，仆人 离开了主人，涌向金矿发源地，农民典押田宅，拓荒者卡垦荒 地，工人扔下工具，公务员离开写字台，甚至连传教士也离开 了布道所。这股热潮一直席卷到圣弗朗西斯科北部的俄勒冈及 南部的墨西哥。成千上万的淘金者使加利福尼亚人口猛增。并 且许多新近出现的城镇很快成为国际性的城市。 • 淘金热期间，由于人口的急剧增长，使得衣食住行变得陡然紧 张，特别是服务业的发展无法满足社会的需要。且1848-1851年 间，美国批发商品的价格指数847提高到1025，这些情况都反映 这次淘金热对美国西部及市场产生了深远的影响。 • 自1854年起，加利福尼亚的淘金热成下降趋势，黄金产值下降， 但整个采金业取向深度和广度发展。第二次采金热是50年代在 科罗拉多发现金矿至70年代在内华达发现金矿。这时采集矿种 增多，并因此使美国作为最大的产金国的地位一直保持到1898 年。同时，由于技术的发展使得商人、工业、企业家纷纷形成 采矿公司，并逐步控制了采矿区。
