21、   文化意识——中外文学作品

It is believed that Huck Finn is based on a childhood friend of Mark Twain's. In fact, Twain was not alone in basing a fictional character on a real­life person.

Severus Snape/John Nettleship

Severus Snape is a skillful teacher teaching magic in Harry Potter. The writer, J．K. Rowling, once said that the character was based on a teacher of hers.

The teacher turned out to be John Nettleship, who taught Rowling chemistry. At first, Nettleship felt surprised. “I know I am a strict teacher，” he said. “But I don't think I am as bad as Snape！” On second thoughts, however, he said that he was so ill­tempered that most of his students avoided making him mad. Also, he used to wear long hair and have an untidy lab. That sounds familiar to Harry Potter fans.

Alice/Alice Liddell

Famously, Lewis Carroll's Alice in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is based on Alice Liddell.

Carroll was close to the Liddell family. One day, ten­year­old Alice asked Carroll to tell her a new story. Carroll began to create his famous tale of Alice and what happened after she fell through the rabbit hole. The little girl liked the story so much that she asked him to write it down. And the rest is history.

Dill/Truman Capote

In To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee based Dill on her childhood friend, Truman Capote. Capote once said, “Lee was my best friend. Have you ever read To Kill a Mockingbird?  I'm a character in that story! The story takes place just in the town where we lived！”

22、   In the United States and Canada, there are over 6,000 museums, almost twice as many as there were 25 years ago. However, they have changed a lot. They are no longer places where one “should” go—they are places to enjoy.

At a science museum in Canada, you can feel your hair stand on end as harmless electricity passes through your body. At the Children′s Museum in New York, you can play an African drum. There are no “Do Not Touch” signs in some other museums in the USA.

More and more museum directors(馆长) have realized that people learn best when they can become part of what they are seeing. In many science museums, the visitors are encouraged to touch, listen, and experiment so as to find scientific rules for themselves.

The old museums have been changing and the government is encouraging the building of new, modern museums. One cause of all these changes is the growing number of young people in the population. They see things in a new and different way. They want art that they can take part in. The same is true of science and history.

23、纪念英雄的不同方式

Countries, cities and people all have their own heroes. There are different kinds of heroes: politicians, soldiers, film stars, sport stars and musicians. And there are many different ways of remembering them, too. Here are some of the things that we do to make sure that we don't forget our heroes.

Sometimes we build statues or sculptures of heroes, especially of politicians and soldiers, but sometimes of writers too. Many cities in South America have a statue of Simon Bolivar(he helped lead many South American countries to independence). And the famous Mount Rushmore in the USA remembers four US presidents of the past.

We often remember soldiers and other people who died in war with a monument,like the Monument to the people's heroes in Beijing, China, or a memorial(纪念物), like the Eternal Flame at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Paris.

Some countries have a special remembrance day, like the one every January in the USA for Dr Martin Luther King, the human rights leader.

When Lady Diana Spencer died in 1997, in Paris, many people left flowers and messages near the place where the car accident happened. Now there is a Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fountain in Hyde Park in London.

Sometimes places are named after famous people: for example, Liverpool, in England and Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil both have airports named after local musicians, John Lennon and Tom Jobim.

In Hollywood, The Walk of Fame has the names of film, TV and music celebrities in stars on the pavement(人行道). Very famous celebrities have their handprints, footprints and autographs in concrete (混凝土) at Hollywood's Grauman's Chinese Theatre.
