Listen to the following lecture about Mark Twain.
Mark Twain,who wrote the story we are going to read,travelled quite a lot, often because circumstances,usually financial circumctances forced him to.
He was born in Floridan Missouri in 1835,and moved to Hannibal,Missouri with his family when he was about four years old.
Most people think he was born in Hannibal,but that isn't true.
After his father died when he was about twelve,Twain worked in Hannibal for a while and then left so that he could earn more money.
He worked for a while as a typesetter(排字员) on various newspapers,and then got a job as a river pilot on the Mississsippi.
Twain loved this job,and many of his books show it.
The river job didn't
last however,because of the outbreak of the civil war.
Twain was in the federate army for just two weeks,and then he and his whole company went to west,to get away from the war and the army.
In Nevada in California,Twain prospected for silver and gold without much luck,but did succeed as a writer.
When Once that happened,Twain travelled around the country giving lectures and earning enough money to go to Europe.
Twain didn't travel much the last ten years of his life,and he didn't published much either.
Somehow his travel,ever when(不懂) forced,inspired his writings.
Like many other popular writers,Twain derived(勘探,勘察) much of the materials for his writing from the wealth(大量) and diversity(多样) of his own experisence.

Listen to the jork(听了N遍都听不出是个什么单词,但是应该是演讲的意思)about the history of the Harkson Hudson River.
Today I’d would like to begin by discussing early European settlement along world along one of our well-know of rivers, the H Hudson, where which empties(流注,注入) into the Atlantic to fork form NewYork day bay.
The H has a couple of interesting physical features, that made it very attractive for settlements
by the Europeans.
The first is that the river extands extends England inland(内地的,内陆的,国内的;向内地,在内陆) from the Atlantic Ocean from for more than 150 miles with no water for a repeats waterfalls(瀑布)or rapids (急流,湍滩). It’s surface is virtually(实际上,事实上,差不多) flat for that entire distance with no obstacles.
Second the whole 150-miles strech(伸展,拉长) is influenced by ties tides(潮汐) from the in la di gotion Atlantic Ocean. Roughly(大致地,粗暴地,粗略地) a real every 6 hours the river rever reverses(倒退,颠倒) sisturaction direction. Flowing noise north when the tie tide is rising and thus south to toward the ocean when the tie tide is going down.
Obviously they will know therre were no obstacles to prevent settlers
from moving further up string upstream(abj./adv. 逆流, 向上游) on the H river, and this explains why the Dutch paletrained penetrated(穿过) so far in land inland. They were the first Es to settle in the H valley.
OC, to go up string upstream, the Dutch settlers needed the right kind of boat, and so to the other gate to navigate the river, they designed snoop a sloop(单桅小帆船)
with only one mest mast(船桅)
but with two sales salls(不懂)是sails!, one right rigged(给船配备索具、帆具等;操纵)
in the front of the mest mast and one behind.
The mest mast was very tall, in many cases over 100 feet tall, so that the large sales sails could catch the wings winds boling blowing
about above the shore line hills.
H river snoops sloops carried passagers and cargo. The cargo ranged ranging from col coal, number lumber(【尤英】存放起来不用的东西,家具等)
and hay to food fruit, vegetables and lastock livestock(家畜,牲畜).
Travelling only 10 miles an hour in a good wind, the snoop sloop was not too speedy to eat by modern standers standards, but it was idealy ideally soon suited to the doctor Dutch settlement. And in fact when the sting bold steam boat deventurely everntually was introduced, it couldn’t keep up with a snoop the sloop.
