24、Even today, the British novelist Charles Dickens is loved by readers all over the world. Dickens created some unforgettable characters. You must have heard of or even read some of his novels: Oliver Twist, A Christmas Carol and A Tale of Two Cities. A Tale of Two Cities has sold more than 200 million copies. Since 1897, there have been more than 300 films and TV adaptations (改编版) of Dickens’ works.

Natalie Mcknight is a literature (文学的) professor. She explains why the novelist is so popular. One important reason, she says, is that Dickens wrote from his heart. He tried hard to produce emotional (情感的) effects among his readers. In his works, he paid special attention to the “little man” at the bottom of society in the UK, which deeply showed the social reality at that time. A Christmas Carol, for example, was written to make every reader think about how they could make a difference to their society.

People always enjoy works that make them laugh, cry and think. Many other 19th century novelists wrote interesting works. However, few of them worked as hard as Dickens to touch the readers deeply.

Dickens wrote about situations and emotions that still interest people today. He used his pen to fight social inequality (不平等) and gave voice to the poor. His works led to many important social changes.

25、When Vivienne Harr was 8 years old, she saw a photo she would never forget. It was a photo of two young boys carrying large, heavy rocks on their backs. These children were the same age as Vivienne. But they did not have the same freedom(自由)and opportunities(机会) that she has.

In some parts of the world, children have to work hard and they can’t go to school. Vivienne wanted to change this. “I want all kids to be able to go to school and play,” said Vivienne, now 10. “I want them to be happy.”

To help raise money for children like the two boys in the photo, Vivienne started a lemonade stand(柠檬汽水摊位)near her home in Marin County, California. She promised to work every day for a year, rain or shine. “Sometimes, it was hard for me, when the weather was bad or I wasn’t feeling well,” said Vivienne. “But I knew that some children were having a harder time than I was.”

Vivienne’s goal was to raise $100,000 in 365 days. On Day 175, she reached her goal. But that didn’t stop Vivienne from working. With the help of her family, she started Make a Stand. The company now puts Vivienne’s lemonade into bottles and sells it in 130 stores around the US.

27、A small weak pig "Where's Papa going with the ax(斧头)? " said Fern to her mother as they were setting the table for breakfast.

"Out to the hoghouse(猪圈)，" replied Mrs Arable. "Some pigs were born last night."

"I don't see why he needs an ax," continued Fern, who was only eight.

"Well," said her mother, "one of the pigs is very small and weak, and it will never grow up to anything. So your father has decided to do away with it."

"Do away with it?" cried Fern. "Just because it's smaller than the others?"

Mrs Arable put a bottle of cream on the table. "Don't cry, Fern!" she said. "The pig would probably die anyway."

Fern pushed a chair out of the way and ran outdoors. The grass was wet and the earth smelled of springtime. Fern's sneakers got wet by the time she caught up with her father.

"Please don't do it!" she said with eyes full of tears.

"It's not right." Mr Arable stopped walking. "Fern," he said gently. "you will have to learn to control(控制)yourself."

"Control myself?" cried Fern. "This is a matter of life and death, and you talk about controlling myself." Tears ran down her face and she took hold of the ax and tried to pull it out of her father's hand.

"Fern," said Mr Arable, "I know more about raising pigs than you do. A weak pig makes trouble. Now run along!"

"But it's unfair," cried Fern. "The pig couldn't help being born small, could it? If I had been very small at birth, would you have killed me?"

Mr Arable smiled. "Certainly not," he said, looking down at his daughter with love. "But this is different. A little girl is one thing; a little pig is another."

"I see no difference," replied Fern, still hanging on to the ax. "This is the most terrible thing I have ever heard of."
