Book_ReportThe_Adventures_of_Huckleberry_Finn
Book Report of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Mark Twain's classic novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, is always be regarded as one of the greatest books of American literature and civilization. Nobel Prize-winning author Ernest Hemingway claimed in Green Hills of Africa (1935), that "All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn. There was nothing before. There has been nothing as good since."The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which was first published in 1885, is a sequel to Mark Twain's another fiction The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Its theme is how to set the slaves free and how to come true one’s dreams. This is a social problem, so this novel influences American literature in American history, it can be said a revolution. The style of the book is quite simple. It is a local book which is written in the colloquial style, but it touches upon the human situation in a general, indeed universal way:humanitarianism ultimately triumphs.It tells a story which took place in the U.S.A. before the Civil War, along the Mississippi River, a boy named Huckleberry Finn who fled from his drunkard father, and encountered Jim on the island he hid. Jim was one of Miss Watson’slaves, and he was also running away from her. So Huck and Jim teamed up , floated on a raft down the Mississippi River together. The adventure started. During the course of their perilous and tough journey, Huck and Jim met diffculty, adventure, danger, and a group of people with various characters. And In the winding and adventurous journey, Huck and Jim built up a permanent friendship that broke down the barrier between the White and Black.In this novel, Huck is a motherless and homeless boy without education, sleeping in barrels, eating scraps and dressed in rags. He comes from the very lowest level of society. His father is a drunkard and treats Huck very bad. Huck don’t like civilized ways because he think they are personally restrictive and hard. After all, Huck is only a child, the world seems new to him. Everything he encounters is a crash for thought. Because of his background, however, he does more than just apply the rules that he has been taught—he creates his own rules. To some degree, it can be said that he is treacherous.But Huck is also a good and noble boy. All of his virtues come from his kind heart and his sense of humanity. On the way of floating in Mississippi river, Huck tries his best to help Jim and changes his prejudice about Black people. He concerns about the drunk man in the circus. He shows sympathy for the nieces of Peter Wilks and saves money for them. His sympathy even goes to those who are totally unworthy of his attention such as the stranded robbers and the king and the duke.Besides, Huck is smart, and has a sharp eye for details. Although he is uneducated and doesn’t always understand everything he sees, or its significance, nature teaches him a lot of things. Moreover, this quality helps him to avoid dangers and overcome difficulties during the travel.There w ere three important themes in this novel. One theme was “the pursuit of freedom”. Huck wanted to escape from the “civilized” society while Jim wanted to escape from the oppression and bondage of slaverythey. They were both seeking theirown freedom. The ot her theme was “growing”. Huck grew up and became mature from this journey. The journey was a voyage of growth in reality and morality, and a course of learning. On the personal and social level, he acquired knowledge and became a person of sound heart, and with democratic ideals. Jim’s growing means his progress of the idea and thought of himself. His pursuit was becoming the real human being. The third theme was the “racism and slavery”. It sets out the dissatisfaction of slavery. Mark Twain’s impressive p resentation of Negro slaves, such as Jim in the novel. Jim represents all that is good in man and Twain’s sympathy for the slaves and hatred towards the slave-society conventions are fully expressed in this novel. From them, readers could think more about life.Now, we come to a rather saddening fact. It may be reminded that back in the 1870’s, the slave law had not been abolished yet. In the range of the southern states, black people were still in slavery, waiting to be freed. Any slave who wanted to escape knew that it was impossible and a no-can-do. Mark Twain implies his disapproval of slavery gently, especially when Jim was caught as a runaway slave. Only until President Abraham Lincoln won the civil war, the slaves were finally free humans, with the ri ght to vote, and freely lived in “a country where all men are created equal”.There is no doubt that Mark Twain is one of the most celebrated persons in American literature. And his novel---- the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is also one of the best books in American literature. It influences American literature and history for a long time. If one wants to learn American history and literature, he or she should finish this novel.The Adventures of Huckleberry FinnThe Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a great masterpiece of American writer Mark Twain. Mark Twain is one of the greatest American writers in the 19th century. He was one of the founder of American critical realism literature, and also the great master of the word famous short stories. His original name is Samuel Langhorne Clemens. During his life he enjoyed a international fame that has probably never been equaled by any other American author. William Faulkner even called Mark Twain" the father of American literature". William Dean Howells praised him as "the Lincoln of our literature,"The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is Twain’s representative work. Hemingway declared in his Green Hills of Africa (1935) that "All modern American literature comes from" Huck Finn, and regard it as "the best book we've had." However, this novel has been one of the most controversial and frequently banned books of American literature since its publication in 1884. During the course of one hundred years after its publication, this novel has still very famous, and frequently discussed all around the world. It proved to be one of the greatest books in the world literature.This novel can be regarded as an American initiation stories. “An initiation story may be said to show its young Protagonist experiencing a significant change of knowledge about the world or oneself，or a change of character，or of both，and thischange must Point or lead him towards an adult world. It may or may not contain some form of ritual，but it should give some evidence that the change is at least likely to have permanent effects.” (Mordecia Marcus). The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn is commonly acknowledged as the classic initiation story, because he experienced a lot of danger and difficulties during his journey, and learnt a lot of principles and rules of the world. He grown up and choose his own life style. The Adventure is also the same. I will mainly talk about the process of his growth in mind in this report.The first period, there is no happily family for him, for both home of his father and the adopted family were failed to give him tender love or right guide. They raise him all for the little boy’s fortune. Meanwhile, Huckleberry Fin is eager for free and unrestricted life. However she just wants to civilize him and made him live a respectable life. He felt rather depressed and stressful so that he even wished he was dead. During this period, he is mainly influenced by the south ideology which will affect his mind in his later life.The second period, finally he can’t bear his father and kin, he pretend to be dead and escape from home and go to an island. At this time, he know Jim, they have adventure together. At first, Huck was not willing escape with him, because he was a black. However the situation was very danger and he feels lonely. So he had to accept Jim. As a white child, born in south, he look down upon black and didn’t want to involved himself in helping a black slave escape. at this moment, his minds was not been liberated.Third, the period of confusion, is the most important part of the novel. He played jokes on Jim and hide him hat, sitting aside to laugh at him. He still didn’t recognize or accept him. As a white boy growing up in the society where slavery was widely practiced, Huck accepted the conventional ideas that the blacks were born to be inferior to the white. There is always a confliction in Huck’s mind. Sometimes he wanted to betray him and take him back to Miss Watson. However, when the hunters were coming, he protected Jim not to be hurt. In his later experience, they were deceived by the “king” and “duke”, what’s worse, they sell Jim to another owner. At this time, Huck decided to save him from the tragedy. We can see his humanity shining. But when they escape, Huck was hunt and can’t go much farther. Jim didn’t escape himself, instead, he risk to be caught and take care of Huck. He is also a kind-hearted man and has his own character. He is a positive role for Huck’s grown-up.The last period, Huck finally learned there are too much preposterous and hypocritical in the society, especially the racial discrimination towards the black. He understood that the black also have the humanity and right. They should be respect, loved. Now he was awake and grown up. He choose to live a free life. His heart has no conflict any more.By analyzing the text of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, My report focuses on the stages and progress of Huck’s initiation; how does Huck’s raft journey influence his initiation; his inner conflicts and growth. Through Huck’s adventures, Mark Twain shows us a vivid picture of the prewar American society. at the same time.Huck just a child, he can learn the hypocritical of the modern human, and the absurd of racial discrimination. A adult should learn more. So this novel has a great significant in the history. It is really worth to reading.The Adventures of Huckleberry FinnMark Twain (pseudonym of Samuel Langhorne Clemens, 1835-1910) was brought up in a small town of Hannibal, Missouri, on the Mississippi River. Owing to his father’s death, he had to leave school at the age of twelve. He was successively a printer’s apprentice, a tramp printer, a silver miner, a steamboat pilot on the Mississippi, and a frontier journalist in Nevada and California. All of these experiences gave him a wide knowledge of humanity. Mark Twain is a world-renowned literary giant and a gifted humorist. As a prolific writer, he makes great achievements in novels and short stories. However, what makes him popular are mainly his novels, in particular, his masterpiece, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. In 1884, he wrote this book, one of his most enduring books, it has not only delighted generations of readers but made history exciting. It has always been regarded as one of the great books of western civilization.The story happens along the Mississippi River. On both sides of the river there was unpopulated wilderness and a dense forest. Along the river floats a small raft, with two people on it. The protagonist of this story is Huckleberry Finn, a little uneducated white boy of about thirteen years old. He comes from the lowest level of society. His father is a poor town drunkard. The other boy Jim is an ignorant, uneducated black slave named Jim. The book tells the story of Jim’s escape from slavery, and, how Huckleberry Finn tries his best to help Jim. At the beginning, Huckleberry Finn cannot see Jim as a proper human being. He was told that that black are by nature lower than white, they are inferior animals. He always plays jokes on Jim. But, at the process of helping Jim to escape, Huckleberry Finn gradually changes his mind, his prejudice toward black people. At last, He treats him as a man and a close friend. Huckleberry Finn’s inner struggle between his sense of guilt in helping Jim to escape and his profound conviction that Jim is a human being was vividly described in the book.Underlying Twain's good humor is a dark subcurrent of antebellum cruelty and injustice that makes The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn a frequently funny book with a serious message.This is the first time that I read this book, when I finished it, was lost in contemplation. It takes me back to a children’s world. Finn’s unique personality, only the children can really understand. One the one hand, it’s a description of children’sworld, they are naughty, innocent, and they have their own dreams. Huckleberry Finn and the group of children always want to do something big. I love the protagonist very much .Even though he is only a small boy, he can do something that adults dare not to do .Huck is a kid who naturally loves freedom. He grew up homeless and had no chance to receive family, school and church education. He liked independent life, hated life around the stagnant and hypocritical courtesy. He did not go to church to pray, not wear dec ent clothes, and not learn from these “civilized” and the “gentle manner”. In the beginning, kindhearted widow Douglas, adopted the poor little Huck, and attempted to teach him and transformed him into a “civilized boy”. However, Huck soon tired of this de cent, and felt that the days of “too sulk” is simply all day long, “a pain”. So “I put on my body worn clothes and drill down to my empty sugar barrel by myself. Then I feel free and satisfied”.Huck distained the “civilized” society’s enlightenment, and e ven questioned the sacred religious tenets: If a person can pray to get what he wants, then why still the loss of Wayne’s by selling pork do not come back? Why the widow’s galactic disk which was stolen do not come back......”So he constantly played hooky,and ran into the forest to have some “fresh air”. Even together with the “noble” person, he felt “itch”.Huck finally could not stand the stagnant life and the enlightenment of civilization, and he escaped to seek for his ideal free life.On the other han d, it’s the author’s autography. Mark Twain’s three years’ life on the Mississippi left such a fond memory with him that he returned to the theme more than once in his writing career. Mark Twain------The half savage, tender, god-worshipping, believing boy, playing with rivers and man, ending on the Mississippi on the broad river that is the great artery flowing out of the heart of the land. It’s the miniature of real Mark Twain. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn tells a story about the United States before the civil war, around 1850, when the great Mississippi valley was still being settled. America was overwhelmed by violence and cruelty, but the virtues of “some simplicity, some innocence, some peace” still not disappeared. The machine and worship if money were on their way in, but the river-god, with its sunlight, space, uncrowned time, stillness, and danger,” had not been forgotten.The image of children belongs to be the comparatively special image among the i mage in literature. People usually treat ch ildren’s thought and behavior with themselv es eyes .Reading The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which can let us pass the voiceof the children’s heart to hear the children’s reality, see a fresh and clear reality of chi ldren’s image-----exploration, resistance, escapism, desperate. In this book, serious problems are being discussed through the narration of a little illiterate boy. Such as, the loafers of the town of Brickville, amusing themselves by torturing animals, pouring kerosene on dogs and setting them on fire, democratic citizens quickly changed into violent mobs, ready to take the law into their own hands and lynch people, or to seize people and pour hot tar over them and ride them out of town on a rail, the fact that the blacks being sold in the market places like animals. The society at that time is in chaos. The people half wild and half civilized, many of them are vulgar and brutal.The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is an exposure of the society at that time. Though a local and particular book, it touched upon the human situation in a general indeed “universal” way: Humanism ultimately triumphs. At that time, the social and intellectual climate of the country provided a stimulating milieu for the growth of local color fiction. The United Stated, still expanding westward, had not had time to solidify itself into a cohesive cultural whole. The local colorists formed an important part of the realistic movement. Mark Twain’s truthful depiction of the commonstrength to the fight for realism. The book has been banned from time to time, beginning with its publication in 1885, when it was deemed too subversive for children, until the late 20th century when, despite its compassionate attitude toward blacks and is violent denunciation of slavery, it has been branded racist because of Twain's use of dialect and "offensive" language. In addition to its message of tolerance and understanding, Huckleberry Finn continues to be read, talked about, and loved by readers of all ages because it's a cracking good coming-of-age story full of vivid characters and hilarious events, and because Twain's relentlessly clear-eyed angle of vision sees beneath the foibles and absurdities of humanity to the common ground that we all share.An Analysis of the Classical Initiation Novel----The Adventures ofHuckleberry FinnⅠ. IntroductionMark twain is one of the greatest writers in the 19th century, known as “the father of American culture”, and also named as “the Lincoln of American culture” byHowell. His masterpiece the adventures of Huckleberry Finn is even remarked as “the place where all modern American literature comes” and “the best book we have ever had” by Ernest Hemingway. There is no denying that it is still a very popular book nowadays, and many people are still studying it, while it’s difficult to search out an article discussing about its initiation theme of the youngster and concerning about the development of the youth’s characteristics. Therefore, it is not unnecessary to dig out the deeper meaning about the development of the youth in the curtain social background.Ⅱ. The definition of the initiation novelThe initiation novel begins at the 18th century, first in Germany, and then prevails in Europe, in the 19th century, it comes to America. Though many scholars are trying to definite it, the best definition of it is still not established. Among all the definitions now we have, Marks’ is most accepted：the initiation novel is to show after suffering a lot of traumas both in physical and mental, the young hero changes his previous world view, or transfigures his disposition, or he changes the both; this change makes him get rid of his innocent childhood, and will finally leads him to the complicated adult society.Since there are a mount of initiation novels in American literature, the initiation novel must play a very important role in its history, from Nathaniel Hawthorne’s the Scarlet Letter and Young Mr. Brown to Herman Melville’s Moby Dick, and when it comes to mark twain, it comes to it’s a pex, twain’s two initiation novels the Adventures of Tom Sawyer and the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn could say clearly for it.In the initiation novels, although the people and the stories may be very different, the formations are similar: the story always starts with the young hero’s sufferings or observations of the villainy, and losing his innocence; these experiences would inevitably shock his little heart, so the youth could transform from a naïve child to an adaptable and mature man. Huck is not an exceptional one.Ⅲ.An Analysis of Huck’s initiation process in the novelHuck is a typical American boy, he is clever and naughty, seeming impolitely and rude, in fact, full of innocence and kindness. At the beginning of the novel, he adopted by the widow Douglas, a kind but stifling woman who lives with her sister, the self-righteous Miss Watson. There he has to obey all kinds of rules and doctrines, and get education, and learn how to be a good person, and also how to live a graceful life. However, this life is just like a fetter for Huck’s unconstraint heart and longing for freedom’s mind. Besides, his drunkard father comes into being again and kidnapped him and treats him violently. Altogether, the loneliness, oppression, his father’s persecution, and his yearning for freedom make him at last choose to run away from the so-called “civilized society”, and start his adventures in the society, and therefore start his developments in his heart.On his way for running away, Huck happens to meet Jim------one of Miss Waston’s slaves, running away from Miss Watson. Huck determined to help Jim to get freedom. However, during the course of saving Jim, Huck experiences vehement mental clash, his thoughts and heart get a sublimation during the process, he abandons the traditional social prejudices, and turns to more mature. Although at the very beginning, Huck promises not to blow upon Jim, he is not completely sure for his decision. He doesn’t treat Jim as the person who has the equal rights as himself; he does n’t respect Jim and always laughs at Jim’s thoughts, and frequently plays jokes on Jim. In the chapter 15, they two go astray on the river, in order to find Huck; Jim almost risks his life, while Huck deceives Jim that’s just a dream. When Jim becomes sober, he, as an equal person as Huck, interrogates Huck seriously, and criticizes Huck’s immoderate joke strictly, while at the same time, with a deep affection. At that time, Huck realizes his fault: “This really makes me feel pretty despicable, I wish with the mouth to kiss his feet”. Finally, he nerves himself to apologize to Jim. Till then begins Huck’s development of characteristics and mind. He realizes the position and respects of a man, and gets to know that the black Jim is as the same as the white, he is equal with him, and should share the same rights with him.Huck’s deeper understanding of the people and the society happens after twomuch more tortuous mental sufferings. In the chapter 16, when Jim feels hilarious for he thoughts he would soon be free when they reach the free town, while Huck starts his heart’s contradiction and mental clash again. Because of his background, Huck thought that slavery is good and right, and he is also taught that the black is the property of the white and that run-away slaves should be reported, and helping a slave to run away is even flagitious. Thus, when he knows that Jim will soon get freedom with his own help, he feels very anxious, and also feels sorry for kindhearted Miss Watson. So he decides to report Jim when they get on board. However, when Huck sees Jim’s happy face and recalls his kindness, Huck hesitates again; he gets into a dilemma, and doesn’t know what to do. At this crucial time, there come two men looking for the runaway slave, and they want to examine Huck’s raft, but Huck plays a trick on them, and let them believe on the raft lies a patient suffering from smallpox, thus protecting Jim. Here Huck strides a big step to cut through social prejudices and social discriminations, and also a big step to his moral and mental mature.Till the chapter 31, Huck completely breaks up with the slavery and traditional social prejudices. Until then, the conflict about if to report Jim raise to the climax, and his conscience tells him that “helping the black to run away must get into the eighteenth layer hell”. Therefore, he writes to Miss Watson, and tells her where Jim is. Huck again remembers his raft travel with Jim, they take care of each other and share both the happiness and sorrow, Jim is that loyal, kindhearted, and honest, and he regards Huck as the only friend, and then Huck realizes that Jim is not only an equal person as himself but also his best friend. So Huck’s heart tells him that he should not report Jim, and what he should do is to help Jim to get freedom. At last, Huck’s heart defeats his conscience, and he says: “well, then, hell is hell!”, and then he tears up the letter. Just as Mark Twain’s own comment “in this book, a sound mind and deformity conscience produce clash, conscience suffered a defeat”. “Huck’s tearing letter”shows that Huck has utterly ascended the huge gap of the racialism, and defeated the social bias. According to his own heart, Huck makes the right decision and choice, and therefore becomes mature in both moral and mental.Huck’s initiation process also shows in his gradual recognition on society and humanism. During the development of Huck’s disposition, he recognizes himself more and more clear, and gradually understands his real pursuit. To start with, Huck seems like a loyal attendant to Tom whatever he does he wants to does like Tom, he always submits to Tom, and has no confidence in himself, and also holds negative believes on himself. However, with the story’s happening, Huck gradually gets rid of Tom’s influence, and begins to oppugn Tom’s deeds, and believes Tom’s conducts are unpractical. After experiencing lots of adventures and risks, Huck learns how to face the hardship alone, and knows how to solve problems. He gradually comprehends his ability, and find back his confidence and ego. In the chapter 33, in spite of Tom’s wrong thoughts about him, Huck makes his mind to save Jim out. He says to Tom: “I know what you want to say. You should say it is despicable thing, but what's the matter? I must steal him out”. Moreover, on the issue about how to save Jim, Huck doesn’t follow Tom any more. He has his own thoughts then. He knows that he has the same rights, ability, and wisdom as Tom. Huck has already become a independent and self-assured person. What’s more, the novel’s ending ---Huck refuses to be Sally aunt’s godson，forms a fierce contrast with the novel’s very beginning that Huck returns to the widow’s home under Tom’s persuade.Ⅳ. ConclusionFrom above, it is clear to see that during the raft adventures with Jim, Huck, from an innocent, happy, ignorant follower, becomes a brave, independent, confident, responsible, and intelligent person. The process of finding himself is, however, not smooth at all, but full of contradictions, puzzles, and conflicts. His shaping process can represent all the human beings’development of their nature and individual characteristics.There’s no denying that initiation process is no favoring thing at all. It consists of many kinds of mental clashes, heart’s maturing and the understanding of the society and human nature. Hope Huck’s growing experience can be beneficial and helpful for the contemporary teenagers.。

GRE阅读练习每日一篇Classical physics defines the vacuum as a state of absence: a vacuum is said to exist in a region of space if there is nothing in it. In the quantum field theories that describe the physics of elementary particles, the vacuum becomes somewhat more complicated. Even in empty space, particles can appear spontaneously as a result of fluctuations of the vacuum. For example, an electron and a positron, or antielectron, can be created out of the void. Particles created in this way have only a fleeting existence; they are annihilated almost as soon as they appear, and their presence can never be detected directly. They are called virtual particles in order to distinguish them from real particles, whose lifetimes are not constrained in the same way, and which can be detected. Thus it is still possible to define that vacuum as a space that has no real particles in it.One might expect that the vacuum would always be the state of lowest possible energy for a given region of space. If an area is initially empty and a real particle is put into it, the total energy, it seems, should be raised by at least the energy equivalent of the mass of the added particle. A surprising result of some recent theoretical investigations is that this assumption is not invariably true. There are conditions under which the introduction of a real particle of finite mass into an empty region of space can reduce the total energy. If the reduction in energy is great enough, an electron and a positron will be spontaneously created. Under these conditions the electron and positron are not a result of vacuum fluctuations but are real particles, which exist indefinitely andcan be detected. In other words, under these conditions the vacuum is an unstable state and can decay into a state of lower energy; i.e., one in which real particles are created.The essential condition for the decay of the vacuum is the presence of an intense electric field. As a result of the decay of the vacuum, the space permeated by such a field can be said to acquire an electric charge, and it can be called a charged vacuum. The particles that materialize in the space make the charge manifest. An electric field of sufficient intensity to create a charged vacuum is likely to be found in only one place: in the immediate vicinity of a superheavy atomic nucleus, one with about twice as many protons as the heaviest natural nuclei known. A nucleus that large cannot be stable, but it might be possible to assemble one next to a vacuum for long enough to observe the decay of the vacuum. Experiments attempting to achieve this are now under way (under way: adv.进行中, 在行进).17. Which of the following titles best describes the passage as a whole?(A) The Vacuum: Its Fluctuations and Decay(B) The Vacuum: Its Creation and Instability(C) The Vacuum: A State of Absence(D) Particles That Materialize in the Vacuum(E) Classical Physics and the Vacuum18. According to the passage, the assumption that the introduction ofa real particle into a vacuum raises the total energy of that region of space has been cast into doubt by which of the following?(A) Findings from laboratory experiments(B) Findings from observational field experiments(C) Accidental observations made during other experiments(D) Discovery of several erroneous propositions in accepted theories(E) Predictions based on theoretical work19. It can be inferred from the passage that scientists are currently making efforts to observe which of the following events?(A) The decay of a vacuum in the presence of virtual particles(B) The decay of a vacuum next to a superheavy atomic nucleus(C) The creation of a superheavy atomic nucleus next to an intense electric field(D) The creation of a virtual electron and a virtual positron as a result of fluctuations of a vacuum(E) The creation of a charged vacuum in which only real electrons can be created in the vacuum’s region of space20. Physicists’ recent investigations of the decay of the vacuum, as described in the passage, most closely resemble which of the following hypothetical events in other disciplines?(A) On the basis of data gathered in a carefully controlled laboratory experiment, a chemist predicts and then demonstrates the physical properties of a newly synthesized polymer.(B) On the basis of manipulations of macroeconomic theory, an economist predicts that, contrary to accepted economic theory, inflation and unemployment will both decline under conditions of rapid economic growth.(C) On the basis of a rereading of the texts of Jane Austen’s novels, a literary critic suggests that, contrary to accepted literary interpretations. Austen’s plots were actually metaphors for political events in early nineteenth-century England.(D) On the basis of data gathered in carefully planned observations of several species of birds, a biologist proposes a modification in the accepted theory of interspecies competition.(E) On the basis of a study of observations incidentally recorded in ethnographers’ descriptions of non-Western societies, an anthropologist proposes a new theory of kinship relations.21. According to the passage, the author considers the reduction of energy in an empty region of space to which a real particle has been added to be(A) a well-known process(B) a frequent occurrence(C) a fleeting aberration(D) an unimportant event(E) an unexpected outcome22. According to the passage, virtual particles differ from real particles in which of the following ways?I. Virtual particles have extremely short lifetimes.II. Virtual particles are created in an intense electric field.III. Virtual particles cannot be detected directly.(A) I only(B) II only(C) III only(D) I and II only(E) I and III only23. The author’s assertions concerning the conditions that lead to the decay of the vacuum would be most weakened if which of the following occurred?(A) Scientists created an electric field next to a vacuum, but found that the electric field was not intense enough to create a charged vacuum.(B) Scientists assembled a superheavy atomic nucleus next to a vacuum, but found that no virtual particles were created in the vacuum’s region of space.(C) Scientists assembled a superheavy atomic nucleus next to a vacuum, but found that they could not then detect any real particles in the vacuum’s region of space.(D) Scientists introduced a virtual electron and a virtual positron into a vacuum’s region of space, but found that the vacuum did not thenfluctuate.(E) Scientists introduced a real electron and a real positron into a vacuum’s region of space, but found that the total energy of the space increased by the energy equivalent of the mass of the particles.Simone de Beauvoir’s work greatly influenced BettyFriedan’s—Indeed, made it possible. Why, then, was it Friedan who became the prophet of women’s emancipation in the United States? Political conditions, as well as a certain anti-intellectual bias, prepared Americans and the American media to better receive Friedan’s deradicalized and highly pragmatic The Feminine Mystique, published in 1963, than Beauvoir’s theoretical reading of women’s situation in The Second Sex. In 1953 when The Second Sex first appeared in translation in the United States, the country had entered the silent, fearful fortress of the anticommunist McCarthy years (1950-1954), and Beauvoir was suspected of Marxist sympathies. Even The Nation, a generally liberal magazine, warned its readers against “certain political leanings” of the author. Open acknowledgement of the existence of women’s oppression was too radical for the United States in the fifties, and Beauvoir’s conclusion, that change in women’s economic condition, though insufficient by itself, “remains the basic factor” in improving women’s situation, was particularly unacceptable.24. According to the passage, one difference between The Feminine Mystique and The Second Sex is that Friedan’s book(A) rejects the idea that women are oppressed(B) provides a primarily theoretical analysis of women’s lives(C) does not reflect the political beliefs of its author(D) suggests that women’s economic condition has no impact ontheir status(E) concentrates on the practical aspects of the questions of women’s emancipation25. The author quotes from The Nation most probably in order to(A) modify an earlier assertion(B) point out a possible exception to her argument(C) illustrate her central point(D) clarify the meaning of a term(E) cite an expert opinion26. It can be inferred from the passage that which of the following is not a factor in the explanation of why The Feminine Mystique was received more positively in the United States than was The Second Sex?(A) By 1963 political conditions in the United States had changed.(B) Friedan’s book was less intellectual and abstract than Beauvoir’s.(C) Readers did not recognize the powerful influence of Beauvoir’s book on Friedan’s ideas.(D) Friedan’s approach to the issue of women’s emancipation was less radical than Beauvoir’s.(E) American readers were more willing to consider the problem of the oppression of women in the sixties than they had been in the fifties.27. According to the passage, Beauvoir’s book asserted that the status of women(A) is the outcome of political oppression(B) is inherently tied to their economic condition(C) can be best improved under a communist government(D) is a theoretical, rather than a pragmatic, issue(E) is a critical area of discussion in Marxist economic theory答案：17-27：AEBBEECECCB。

文学选读与批评a white heron
Book report on A White HeronA White Heron is about a nine-years-old girl Sylvia, who came from city to help her grandmother at the farm. One day, she was having fun on the way home, and as usual, made the cow leave the pasture. A young man with a gun, losing his way in hunting for a white heron, asked Sylvia whether he could spend a night at her house. Her grandmother treated the young man and told him about her family. Thus, the young man happed to know that Sylvia knows the woods and birds well. He said he would offer 10 dollars to whoever show the rare white heron to him. Finally, Sylvia found the secret to find the white heron and she made it despite the difficulty and danger. Not only because she wanted the 10 dollars but also because her admiration to the young man. However, she was unable to tell the secret because she would not give the white heron's life away for 10 dollars.It's a beautiful but sad story. There are many description about the beautiful nature and how Sylvia enjoyed it. I have to admit that it is a pity that I cannot have a clear picture in my mind about the scenes, although I manage to sense it. Thus, I cannot say I like this part.However, I do like the little girl Sylvia for she is pure and soft-hearted. Like most children, she has the gift to appreciate the great nature while she may not realize is herself. "It was a consolation to look upon the cow's pranks as an intelligent attempt to play hide and seek." She enjoys her work and has a real life at the farm. Sylvia regard the creature in the woods as her friends and companions. The songs of the birds comfort her as she painfully climbed the tree. With the desire of getting 10 dollars and his affection from the young man, as well as the spirit of adventure, she climbed the tree with great effort to locate the hidden nest of the white heron. She was an simple girl who want to do things for young man she loved. Certainly, she wanted a life better for her grandmother. I admire her courage and her ambition. Moreover, I like her even more when she kept silence in front of her grandmother and the young man. It must be a struggle for her to give up the great opportunity. However, she could not forget how the white heron fly through the golden air. She could not give its life away because of her selfish desire. She could not betray and hurt the great nature.There is love to hurt and there is love to protect. The young man loves birds but kills them for preserved samples. Sylvia loves birds and keeps them alive even to give up the things she wants.This article is undoubtedly to wake our awareness of environmental protection. The author write the nature with emotional tone and treat them as human beings. And people need to treasure them and take their feelings into consideration. "…a bird fluttered off its nest, and a red squirrel ran to and fro and scolded pettishly at the harmless housebreaker." The animals in the woods were unhappy when people disturb their quiet life."were the birds better friends than their hunter might have seen,---who can tell?" I believe Sylvia has made the right choice. She loves her friends birds and she also loves, or more exactly admire the hunter. She chooses to protect her friends and her friends may never know about that, but they certainly would not hurt her. However, as a woman at that time, she could only served and followed him and loved him as a dog loves! Sylvia may be sad watching the young man go away disappointed, bur she could find peace in the nature.091王婉婷。

英语作文my book report
英语作文my book reportReading is one of the most fundamental and rewarding activities that a person can engage in. Books open up new worlds, introduce us to fascinating characters, and allow us to explore diverse perspectives and experiences. As an avid reader, I have had the pleasure of diving into many captivating stories and nonfiction works over the years. One book in particular that has left a lasting impression on me is "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee."To Kill a Mockingbird" is a timeless classic that was first published in 1960. Set in the fictional town of Maycomb, Alabama during the Great Depression, the novel follows the story of Jean Louise "Scout" Finch, a young girl whose eyes are opened to the harsh realities of racism and injustice in her small Southern community. The narrative is told through Scout's innocent and curious perspective as she and her brother Jem witness their father Atticus, a principled lawyer, defend a black man named Tom Robinson who has been wrongfully accused of a terrible crime.One of the most striking aspects of "To Kill a Mockingbird" is itsportrayal of the moral courage and integrity of Atticus Finch. As a single parent raising his two children, Atticus instills in them a strong sense of justice, empathy, and respect for all people regardless of their race or social status. When he agrees to defend Tom Robinson, Atticus knows that he is taking on a case that will be deeply unpopular with the majority-white town. However, he is driven by an unwavering commitment to the principles of fairness and equality under the law.Throughout the trial, Atticus methodically dismantles the prosecution's case, exposing the blatant racism and lies that have led to Tom's indictment. In a powerful courtroom scene, Atticus delivers a stirring closing argument in which he pleads with the all-white jury to look past their own prejudices and render a just verdict. Tragically, despite Atticus's best efforts, the jury ultimately convicts Tom, a victim of the town's entrenched racial biases.The consequences of this unjust verdict reverberate throughout the rest of the novel, as Scout and Jem grapple with the harsh realities of prejudice and the fragility of the justice system. However, their father's moral example continues to guide them, instilling in them a determination to stand up against injustice and discrimination wherever they encounter it.One of the most poignant moments in the book occurs when Scoutrealizes that her reclusive neighbor, Boo Radley, has been protecting her and her brother all along. This revelation serves as a powerful metaphor for the idea that true courage is not always loud or celebrated, but can be found in the quiet acts of compassion and sacrifice performed by everyday people.Through its exploration of complex themes such as racism, moral courage, and the loss of innocence, "To Kill a Mockingbird" has cemented its place as a timeless classic. Harper Lee's masterful storytelling and richly drawn characters have captivated readers for generations, and the novel's enduring relevance is a testament to its enduring power.As I reflect on the profound impact that "To Kill a Mockingbird" has had on me, I am struck by the way in which it has shaped my own values and worldview. The novel's unwavering commitment to justice and human dignity has inspired me to strive to be a more ethical and compassionate person, to stand up against injustice whenever I encounter it, and to always seek to understand and empathize with those who are different from me.In a world that often seems increasingly divided and polarized, the lessons of "To Kill a Mockingbird" feel more vital than ever. The novel's timeless message of the importance of standing up for what is right, even in the face of adversity, is a powerful reminder of thetransformative power of literature and the enduring value of moral courage.As I continue on my own journey of growth and discovery, I know that I will return to the pages of "To Kill a Mockingbird" time and time again, drawing inspiration and wisdom from its rich tapestry of characters and themes. This book has not only captured my imagination but has also left an indelible mark on my heart and soul, and I am grateful for the opportunity to share my love for this truly remarkable work of literature.。
新世纪研究生公共英语教材阅读B课文原文及翻译
新世纪研究生公共英语教材阅读B课文原文及翻译Unit1Party PoliticsJudith Martin1. Etiquette at an office party? Why, these people have been socializing happily every working day of their lives, give or take a few melees, rumors, and complaint petitions. All it takes to turn this into holiday merriment is a bit of greenery looped around the office—the staff will soon be looped, too. Surely it is enough that the annual Christmas party has the magic ingredients: time off from work, free food and drink, and a spirit of fun replacing such ugly work realities as sexual harassment.2. Furthermore, partygoers figure, it offers relief from such pesky obligations as thanking anyone or being kind to wallflowers because there really aren‟t any hosts. Nobody has to pay (that same Nobody who generously provides the telephone line for long-distance personal calls), and so nobody‟s feelings need be considered.3. This is all pure hospitality—there for the taking, like the office-supplied felt-tipped pens everyone has been pocketing all year. Out of the natural goodness of its corporate heart and the spirit of the holiday season, the company wishes only to give its employees a roaring good time, and the employees, out of loyalty and the thrill of getting to know their bosses off-duty as equals, delight in the opportunity.4. For those still dimly aware of the once-standard give-and-take of real social life, this no-fault approach to business entertaining seems a godsend. In the now-rare domain of genuine society, hosts are supposed to plan and pay for the entertainment of their guests, on their own time and in their own houses. Guests have strict duties, as well—from answering invitations to cooperating with all arrangements, even to the extent of pronouncing them perfectly lovely.5. Business entertaining appears to remove the burdens of time, effort, money, individual responsibility—and the etiquette connected with them. The people who do the planning are paid for their trouble, so those who benefit need not consider they have incurred a debt. Why, the annual Christmas party ought to be an inspiration to lower-level employees to work their way into realms where company-sponsored partying can be enjoyed all year long.6. Not so fast. Flinty Miss Manners does not recognize any holidays from etiquette. (Employees, if not employers, should consider themselves lucky that she is only on the Party Committee, not the one that might take up ethical questions about those pens and calls.) Office parties differ from private ones but are no freer from rules.7. If it were indeed true that everyone has a better time without etiquette, Miss Manners could easily be persuaded to take the day off. But having long served on the Office Party Etiquette Cleanup subcommittee, she is aware that things generally do not go well when there is no recognized etiquette and everyone is forced to improvise.8. Let us look at all this spontaneous, carefree fun: There being no proper place for the boss, he or she hangs around the door, concerned about mixing with everyone. It might discourage hospitable bosses to see guests staring at them in horror and then slithering in by a side door. But etiquette‟s solution of having everyone greeted in a receiving line was rejected as too stiff. So one can hardly blame employees for recalling a long-ingrained principle of the workplace: Seeing the boss and having a good time are best not scheduled at the same time.9. Desperate to make the time count, the boss grabs the nearest available person and startsdelivering practiced words about the contribution he makes to their great enterprise. The reaction is not quite what was hoped for. Discreet questioning establishes that this is an employee‟s guest. He doesn‟t work for the company, recognize the boss, or appreciate the attention—and, as a matter of fact, has only a passing acquaintance with the employee who issued the invitation. What this guest wants is not professional fellowship but a fresh drink, if the boss would kindly step out of the way.10. Now, the reason the invitation said “and guest” was to avoid the ticklish issue of who is still married to whom and what the spouse calls itself. Last year, unmarried employees were furious when their partners were not included, and married employees complained that the forms by which their spouses were addressed were offensive: “Mrs.” offended women who preferred “Ms.,” and wives who had the same surnames outraged everybody who didn‟t. This year, the complaints will be from spouses who were not told that there was a party or who were told that spouses weren‟t invited—but found out otherwise. There won‟t be many complaints. They will, however, be memorable, darkly charging the company with promoting immorality.11. Meanwhile, what about those who are interested in promoting a bit of immorality, or just plain romance, of their own? They, too, are creating problems that will reach far into the new year. True office romances are the least of them, with their charges of favoritism and melding professional and personal time. More serious is the fact that, in spite of the liquor and high spirits, it still counts as sexual harassment when anyone with supervisory powers makes unreciprocated overtures to a lower-ranking employee. And foolhardy when a lower-ranking employee annoys a higher-ranking one.12. Some employees have their minds only on business and will be spending party time actively promoting workaday concerns. Remembering the company rhetoric about open communications and all being in this together, they will actually seek out the boss, who by this time is grateful to be addressed by anyone at all.13. But they do n‟t want to engage in platitudes. They accept compliments with: “Well, then how about a raise?” They plead for promotions, explain confidentially who ought to be fired, and advance previously submitted ideas about revolutionizing the business that have been unaccountably unappreciated for years. In one evening, they manage to cut through the entire hierarchy and procedures the boss has painstakingly established for the purpose of being spared this kind of importuning.14. Eventually—usually somewhat late in the party—it occurs to someone that this informal setting is just the time to offer the boss some constructive personal criticism. What else does talking frankly and informally mean but an invitation to unload opinions without any career consequence?15. Here is where the company has pulled a fast one on its employees. “Go ahead,” it has said, “relax, have a good time, forget about the job.” And the naive have taken this at face value. This event is called a party—a place where one lets loose without worrying about being judged by the cold standard of professional usefulness.16. Even employees who adhere strictly to standard business dress in the office may not know what the bosses might consider vulgar in evening wear. Here is a chance to show off their racy and imaginative off-duty clothes. But over there are supervisors murmuring that people who look like that can‟t really be sent out to represent the company.17. Worse are the comments on anyone whose idea of fun is a little boisterous. It may be just thebehavior that makes one a delight—or a trial—to one‟s friends. But here, it is not being offered for the delight or tolerance of friends. It is being judged on criteria other than whether the person is a riot.18. It is not that Miss Manners wants to spoil the office party by these warnings. She just wants to prevent it from spoiling careers. And the solution is what was banished from the party for being too inhibiting: etiquette.19. The first formality that must come back is inviting everyone by name. The practice of merely counting every invitation as two is as dangerous as it is unflattering. But people who have been clearly identified and told that they must respond—the suggestion must be made neutrally, to show that the party is a treat, not a requirement—already have some sense that they are both individually sought after and expected to be responsible.20. What constitutes a couple is a murkier question than Miss Manners and any sensible employer ought to investigate, but employees simply can be asked to supply the name of a spouse or friend they want to invite. (An office party can be limited by confining it to employees, in which case it should be held during office hours. But inviting spouses and such is better. Having to work is enough distract ion from one‟s more intimate relationships, and the staff was not compiled like a guest list, according to personal compatibility.21. Since we have established, Miss Manners hopes, that the point of an office party is not whooping it up or telling people off, what is it? It is showing appreciation of the staff.22. This starts with a well-run receiving line. However much popular opinion may regard receiving lines as nasty ordeals, they were invented to be, and remain, the easiest way to get everyone recognized by the key people. The oldest receiving-line trick in the world still works: Someone whose business it is to know everyone—or someone unimportant enough to be able to ask each guest his name—announces the guests to the host as they go through the line. The host can then scornfully declare: “Of course I know Annette. We couldn‟t run this place without her.” For extra charm, the employee‟s guest is also told how wonderful that employee is. This always seems more sincere than straight-out flattery, and from then on, whenever the employee complains that everyone at the office is an idiot, the spouse will counter by repeating that appreciation.23. It is often erroneously assumed that the style of the party ought to be what employees are used to: their own kind of music, food, and other things the executive level believes itself to have outgrown. Nonsense. What employees want is a taste of high-level entertaining. This may vary greatly according to the nature of the business. If, however, the party is too formal for the employees‟ taste, they‟ll get a good laugh and enjoy the contrast all the more when they continue partying on their own afterward.24. The clever employee will dress as the executives do, keeping in mind that there are few fields in which people are condemned for looking insufficiently provocative. Refusing or limiting drinks is not the handicap at business parties that it may be under the overly hospitable eye of a private host. And the real opportunity for career advancement is not petitioning a boss but rescuing one who has been cornered or stranded, thus demonstrating that one knows how to talk charmingly about nonbusiness matters.25. At the end, there is another receiving line. That is, the bosses plant themselves conspicuously by the exit, grabbing the hand of anyone trying to get away and thanking him for coming. Even the dimmest guest will then realize it is appropriate to thank back—that is, to realize that something has been offered and deserves gratitude.26. After all, isn‟t that why the office Christmas party is given?27. If the only goal were for the company to show the staff its appreciation, this could be effectively done with a day off and a bonus to go with it.第一单元晚会之道朱迪丝•马丁1. 办公室晚会礼节？有这个必要吗？员工们每天开开心心地彼此交往，虽然时不时会推推撞撞，发生点儿口角，传播点儿谣言，或是联名写点儿投诉信。

Teenagers dodge security guards to put their names on trains and buses. But over the past decade, graffiti has all but disappeared from Britain's cities. Between 2007 and 2012 the number of incidents of graffiti recorded by the British Transport Police fell by 63%. A survey by the Environment Ministry shows that fewer places are blighted by tags than ever. Graffiti are increasingly confined to sanctioned walls, such as the Stockwell ball courts. In time the practice may die out entirely.The most obvious reason for the decline in tagging and train-painting is better policing. Numerous CCTV cameras mean it is harder to get away with painting illegally. And punishments are more severe. A generational shift is apparent, too. Fewer teenagers are getting into painting walls. They prefer to play with iPads and video games. Some have gone to art school and want to make money from their paintings. The Internet means that painters can win far more attention by posting pictures online than they can by breaking into a railway yard.Taggers and graffiti artists mostly grew up in the 1980s and 1990s. Those men—and almost all are men—are now older and less willing to take risks. Graffiti may eventually disappear. But for now the hobby is almost respectable. The former graffiti artists paint abandoned warehouses at the weekend. It has become something to do on a Sunday afternoon—a slightly healthier alternative to sitting and watching football.1.Teenagers are not afraid of being caught by security guards when they put their names on trains and buses. F2.Less tags can be found in public places nowadays. T3.Because of better policing graffiti decreases. T4.Some teenagers go to art school in order to learn to paint walls. F5.Taggers and graffiti artists are still willing to take risks.F 选择题（每题10分）Jim Thorpe was a Native American. He was born in 1888 in an Indian Territory(印第安人保护区)that is now Oklahoma. Like most Native American children then, he liked to fish, hunt, swim, and play games outdoors. He was healthy and strong, but he had very little formal education. In 1950, Jim Thorpe was named the greatest American football player. He was also an Olympic gold medal winner. But Thorpe had many tragedies in his life.Jim had a twin brother who died when he was nine years old. By the time he was 16, his mother and father were also dead, Jim then went to a special school in Pennsylvania for Native American children. There, he learned to read and write and also began to play sports. Jim was poor, so he left school for two years to earn some money. During this time, he played on a baseball team. The team paid him only $15 a week. Soon he returned to school to complete his education. Jim was a star athlete (运动员) in several sports, including baseball, running, and football. He won many awards for his athletic ability, mainly for football. In many games, hescored all or most of the points for his team.In 1912, when Jim Thorpe was 24 years old, he became part of the U.S Olympic team. He competed in two very difficult events: the pentathlon and the decathlon. Both require great ability and strength. The pentathlon has five track and field events, including the long jump and the 1500-meter race. The decathlon has ten track and field events, with running, jumping and throwing contests.People thought it was impossible for an athlete to compete in both the pentathlon and the decathlon. So everyone was surprised when Thorpe won gold medals in both events. When the King of Sweden presented Thorpe with his two gold medals, he said, “Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world.” Thorpe was a simple and honest man. He just answered, “Thanks, King.”1. From the passage we learn that Jim Thorpe was born in CA. IndiaB. PennsylvaniaC. Oklahoma2.

The Book Report of The Woman in White
About the book and the author :
“The Woman in White”,a British detective novel,was written by British detective novelist William Wilkieand Collins in 1860. Collins (1824 - 1889) was born in London. Father was a painter. When15-year-old, he studied law in London, and later as counsel,23 years old (1847) he learnt to write the first book which was the account of his father's life, "William Collins's life.” Collins created a lot in his lifetime, representatives as "the woman in white ", "Moonstone" "Poor Miss Fan Zone," "a rogue's life," and "black robe" .I read a simplified version of it with 291 pages.
Difficulty:
Although it is a simplified version,there are a lot of difficulties for me. Some words such as,“eventful”，“practically”“typhus”，and some sentences such as,“all right,have your own way”，“my life was hung by a thread”and some plots such as ,one plot in which Laura was dead designed by her husband the process in which Hartright invested Sir Percival Glyde.
Key elements of the plot
This book tells the young painting tutor Hartright with his student the wealthy girl Laura fell in love; but Laura had long been promised to marry Sir percival Glyde by the late father . One night, Hartright on the road encountered a white woman who looks like Laura, she had just escaped from
an asylum. She claims Sir percival Glyde a terrible crime, and warned that Laura and percival marriage was extremely dangerous. After marrying, Percival forced Laura to surrender all the property right of disposit ion. They created the death of Laura fraud, but Laura can not prove the identity of the loss of memory trouble. At this point, Hartright determined to find out the truth and restore the identity of Laura. At Last, Percival died in a fire, Fusco was assassinated. Hartright and Laura combined.
My reaction to the book：
I really enjoy this novel.while reading,I can felt exciting and desire to read
on,and I really want to explore the next plot.and I admired the love between Hartright and Laura;although their love is hard ,but their love doesn’t die easily,it can survive separation,and despair and even death itself……I would read another book by the same author，like“Moonstone”.
Large issues that are dealt with in the book
It is a story of greed and evil,innocence and betrayal,confused identities
and cruel deceptions.And also love--a love that begins with heartbreak and misery,where there seems no way forward,no hope for future.But there is no doubt love can solve many things with its power.Fortunately their love ended with happiness. 张珍珍096070190 095。
