Mark Twain tells a boy’s story in The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn. Huck is a poor child without a mother and a home. His father drinks too much alcohol(酒精) and always beats him,
Huck’s situation frees him from the restriction of society. He explores in the woods and goes fishing. He stays out all night and does not go to school. He also smokes. Huck runs away from home. He meets Jim, a black man who has escaped (逃脱) from slavery(奴隶制). They travel together on a raft (木筏) made of wood down the Mississippi River. Mark Twain started writing "Huckleberry Finn" as a children’s story. But it soon became serious. The story tells about the social evil of slavery, which is seen through the eyes of an innocent child. Huck’s ideas about people are formed by the white society in which he lives. So, at first, he does not question slavery. Huck knows that important people believe slavery is natural and this is the law of God. So, he thinks it is his duty to tell Jim’s owners where to find him.
Later, Huck comes to understand that Jim is a good man. He finds he cannot carry out his plan to inform Jim’s owners of his whereabouts (下落). Instead, he decides to help Jim escape. He decides to do this, even if God punishes him.

There are many ways for us to reduce waste. For example, we can reuse paper and plastic bags. We can also recycle newspapers, glass, and cans (易拉罐) to make new things. Here are some useful ways to reduce waste.
◆ Write on both sides of paper. Many people write on only one side of their paper. Why not stop wasting the other side? Some students only use half the pages of their notebooks before getting new ones. Try to use up all the paper. People often give cards on birthdays or festivals. How about trying to send e-cards instead?
◆ Don’t throw away your old batteries. Maybe you do not know that old batteries make the Earth dirty. This is because they have poisonous parts. So, don’t throw away batteries. Keep them together. Try to use rechargeable(可在充电的) batteries for your games and CD players.
◆ Donate (捐赠) all your unwanted clothes. There are many poor families in China. You may ask your mother to collect your unwanted clothes. Then you can pass them on to those poor children who do not have clothes to wear. You will feel happy that you are helping someone else. Also, you can ask if your friends or relatives want them before throwing them away.
( ) 46. What should we do on a friend’s birthday?
A. Give cards.
B. Send e-cards.

In the USA, there are many types of restaurants. Fast food restaurants are very famous. You can find McDonald’s and Kentucky Fried Chicken everywhere. You look at a menu above the counter(柜台), and say what you’d like to eat. You pay the person who serves you. There’s no need to leave a tip. In a coffee shop you sit at the counter or at a table. You don’t need to wait for the waitress to show you where to sit. She usually brings you coffee when you sit down. You tell her what you’d like to eat and she brings it to you. You pay the cashier (出纳员) as you leave. A diner is like a coffee shop but usually looks like a railway carriage (火车车厢). In a family restaurant, the atmosphere is casual, but the waitress shows you where to sit. Often the waitress tells you her name, but you don’t need to tell her yours. You add an extra fifteen percent to the bill as a tip. In top class restaurants, you need a reservation (预定) and you need to arrive on time. The waiter shows you where to sit. If you have wine, he may ask you to taste it. You can only refuse it if it tastes bad. When you get your bill, check it and then add fifteen to twenty percent to it as a tip for the waiter.

Dear Jack,
Thank you very much for the English dictionary you sent me for my birthday. It’s just what I need!

I hope you are well and I look forward to seeing you in China next month. If you come to China, I want to invite you to stay in my home. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Best wishes,
Li Ming
