Harriet Beecher Stowe
By Noel B Gerson
“So this is the little lady who made this big war,” said Abraham Lincoln. The president was meeting the author of Uncle Tom’s Cabin for the first time, more
than a decade after the book’s publication in 1852.“It was not simply a patronizing（傲慢的）remark.” Harriet Beecher Stowe really was small. “I am a little bit of a woman,” she described herself, “about as thin and dry as a pinch of snuff.”
If Uncle Tom’s Cabin did not quite start a war, it ignited the minds of people North and South, both for and against abolition. Tens of thousands of Americans who had not read the book already knew Simon Legree as the classic slave driver and Uncle Tom the black victim.
Harriet Beecher Stowe was a well-known writer before Uncle Tom’s Cabin made her rich and famous. For a time, she and her preacher husband Calvin Stowe were too poor to afford a servant. Mrs Stowe ran her house, cared for her twin daughters(the first two of seven children),churned out genteel, folksy stories and religious essays to help make ends meet.
Uncle Tom’s Cabin changed all that. It was the first great American best-seller. In the initial year in print, it sold 300,000 copies, and eventually more than 3 million American readers bought the book. Worldwide, sales ran to something like 10 million in 40 languages.
In this plain but informative portrait, biographer Gerson notes that author Stowe never visited the deep South before the Civil War. Most of the knowledge of slavery was gained from former slaves whom she met while living in Cincinnati(one of the busiest stops on the Underground Railway), though she did visit a working plantation in Kentucky briefly in 1833.
In spite of the impact on the world of her celebrated novel it turns out that except for the issue of slavery, she had a scant interest in politics.
43. Harriet Beecher Stowe is a book that describes
mainly_______.
A. the effect of Uncle Tom’s Cabin
B. the family of Mrs Stowe
C. the reason for the popularity of Uncle Tom’s
Cabin
D. the Iife and works of Mrs Stowe
44. Abraham Lincoln’s remark concerning Harriet
Beecher Stowe was________.
A. patronizing and inspiring
B. important and necessary
C. made in 1852
D. patronizing but quite accurate
45. The cause of the Civil War was really_______.
A. the issue of abolition
B. the uprising of the oppressed class
C. the popularity of the song Old Black Joe
D. the anger felt by those who read Uncle Tom’s
Cabin
D
One of the greatest contributors to the first Oxford English Dictionary was also one of its most unusual. In 1879, Oxford University in England asked Prof. James Murray to serve as editor for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the English language. It would include every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of the word and quotations（引文）showing how it was used.
This was a huge task, so Murray had to find volunteers from Britain, the United States, and the British colonies to search every newspaper, magazine, and book ever written in English. Hundreds of volunteers responded, including William Chester Minor. Dr. Minor was an American surgeon who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England. He gave his address as “Broadmoor, Crowthorne, Berkshire,” 50 miles from Oxfor d.
Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray. Over the next 17 years, he became one of the staff’s most valued contributors.
But he was also a mystery. In spite of many invitations, he would always decline to visit Oxford. So in 1897, Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself. When he arrived, he found Minor locked in a book-lined cell at the Broadmoor Asylum（精神病院）for the Criminally Insane.
Murray and Minor became friends, sharing their love of words. Minor continued contributing to the dictionary, sending in more than 10,000 submissions in 20 years. Murray continued to visit Minor regularly, sometimes taking walks with him around the asylum grounds.
In 1910, Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native America. Murray was at the port to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend.
Minor died in 1920, seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was completed. The 12 volumes defined 414,825 words, and thousands of them were contributions from a very scholarly and devoted asylum patient.
46. According to the text, the first Oxford English
Dictionary _________.
A. came out before Minor died
B. was edited by an American volunteer
C. included the English words invented by Murray
D. was intended to be the most ambitious English
dictionary
47. How did Dr. Minor contribute to the dictionary?
A. He helped Murray to find hundreds of volun-
teers.
B. He sent newspapers, magazines and books to
Murray.
C. He provided a great number of words and quo-
tations
D. he went to England to work with Murray.
48. Why did Dr. Minor refuse to visit Oxford?
A. He was shut in an asylum.
B. He lived far from Oxford.
C. He was busy writing a book.
D. He disliked traveling.
49. Prof. Murray and Dr. Minor became friends mainly
because ________.
A. they both served in the Civil War
B. they had a common interest in words
C. Minor recovered with the help of Murray
D. Murray went to America regularly to visit Mi-
nor
50. Which of the following best describes Dr. Minor?

B. Cautious and friendly.
C. Considerate and optimistic.
D. Unusual and scholarly.
51. What does the text mainly talk about?

根据短文内容回答问题
「1」Hello. It’s one of the first words we learn as babies, yet it’s one of the last ones we think to use as a dults. That’s unfortunate, because saying hello is more than just saying hello—it is recognition of another’s worth. How might the world change—how might we change—if we mastered this word? To find out, I spent one month saying hello to every person I met. Here’s what I’ve learned.
「2」It can boost （促进）productivity. In one of the few studies ever done on this subject, Allan Allday, an assistant professor of special education at Oklahoma State University, had middle school teachers greet their students individually each morning. This exchange of greetings raised the kids’ productivity. School went from impersonal to personal, and that resulted in more class participation and better grades. 「3」Environments influence friendliness. One study found that people in the city were less likely to shake hands with a stranger than those in the countryside. And, researchers say, pleasant environments generally encourage more smiles and hellos than unpleasant ones. My experience was similar. Whatever the reason, my urban hellos were answered far less often than my rural ones. Similarly, people in vacation spots, like the Jersey Shore, were far friendlier than those hurrying to work downtown.
「4」It’s a form of universal health insurance. It’s impossible to say hello without smiling. And smiling has been shown to lower blood pressure, relieve stress and boost happiness. Apparently, a smile creates a similar effect in the recipient（接受者）. 「5」So maybe we can make the world a better place by ____________. After a month of doing it, I feel lighter and more connected and I have a better sense of well-being.
