第一篇(1991-05-p2)
Mark Tuen(Twain) who wrote the story we are going to read travelled quiet a lot often because certain stands(circumstance) usually financial certain stands(circumstance) forests into(forced him to).
He was born in Plosery(Floridan Missouri) in 1835, and moved to hanable morzory(Hannibal Missouri) with his family when he was about 4 years old.
Most people think he was born in hanable(Hannibal), but that isn't true.
After his father died when he was about 12,
Twain worked in the hanable(Hannibal) for a while
and then left so he could earn more money.
He worked for a while at the Time step(as a typesetter) on where there is(various) newspapers, and then got a job as a river pile(pilot) on Micicib(the Mississsippi).
Twain loved this job, and then his book shelit(many of his books show it).
The river job in(didn't) last ,however, because of the outbreak the civil war.
Twain was in the confight(federate) army for just 2 weeks, and then he is in the(his) whole company wide(went) west to get away from the war in(and) the army.
In the Wide and(Nevada in) California, Twain price the percivil in(prosperted for sister and) gold without much luck but
insisted it is(did succeed as a) writer.
When(once) that happened ,Twain traveled
around the country giving
lectures and earning enough money to the(go to) Europe.
Twain didn't travel much the last 10 years of his life, and he didn't publish much either.
Somehow his travel even one forest(when forced) inspair(inspired) his writing.
Back(like)
many other popular writers, Twain devide(derived) much of the materials for his writing from the while(wealth) and the versity(diversity) of his own personal experience.
第二篇(1992-08-p3)
Today, I would like to begin by discussing early European in settle(settlement) along the one where we are(one of our well) known rivers, the Hudson, which in traps(empties) into (the Atlantic to) form New York today. The Hudson river has a couple of interesting physical feathers that made it very attractive (for settlement) by the Europeans. The first is that the river has an(extends) inland from the elect(Atlantic) ocean from(for) more than 150 miles with no water for all that ripes(waterfalls or rapids). Its surface is
verturevily(virtually) flight(flat) from(for) the untire(that entire)
distance with no
obticals(obstacles). Second the whole 150 miles stracts(stretch) is influenced by type(tides)
from the elecotion(Atlantic Ocean). Rufli risist(Roughly every six)
hours the river reward(reverses) direction. Flowing north when the tide is rising and south towars the ocean when the tide is going down. Obviously there were no obticles(obstacles) to prevent settlers from moving further abstreet(upstream) on the Hudson river and this explains why the duch(Dutch) penetreat(penetrated)
so far in England(inland) . They were the first Europeans to settle in the Hudson villey(valley). Of couse to go upstreams, that(the Dutch) settlers need
the right kind of boat , and so to nelergate(navigate) the river, they decided to slope(design a sloop) with only one nast(mast) but with two sails, one ripe(rigged) from(in front of ) the nust(mast)
and one behind. The nast(mast) was very tall, in many cases over 100 feet tall, so that the large sails could catch winds flowing(blowing) about (above)the short(the shore) land(line) hills. Fortune(Hudson) river looks(sloops) carried passengers and cargo. The cugle(cargo) arrenging from coal, lamber(lumber) and hey(hay), to fruit, vegetable and land
stuck(livestock). Travelling only 10 miles
an hour in a good went(wind), the solute(sloop) was not too speedy even a(by) modern standards, but it was ideal with(ideally) suited to duck(Dutch) settlement. And in fact when the steamble(steam boat) that eventrul(eventually)
was introduced, it could not keep up with slude(the sloop). |
