2.The author says, ”Being a father(parent)is a pretty thankless job.“ Do you agree? Give your reasons.Parents' responsibilities are to bring up their children both physically and mentally healthy.They work hard and even sacrifice their needs to meet the needs of their children.They do not expect their children to pay back.Perhaps in this sense being a father is a thankless job.3.What should be the proper relationship between fathers and daughters

Both were terrible crimes committed in the 20th century.Civilians constituted the main body of victims in each case.3.Why should we Chinese always remember the Nanjing Massacre?

Every Chinese should always remember the Nanjing Massacre.The Japanese invasion of China more than sixty years ago made us Chinese realize the importance of being powerful.Being weak, we'll be bullied； being poor, we'll be exploited.The bloody history gave all of us a lesson to learn.China does not want to invade others, nor will she succumb to any alien aggression.Once any aggression is committed against China, China will fight against it determinedly.Unit 15

Fool's Paradise

1.Why did Atzel want to kill himself after a few days' stay in paradise Atzel wanted to kill himself after a few days' stay in paradise because he found that life there was too monotonous.One could do nothing in paradise except eating the same thing everyday and sleeping 2.What do you think the moral of the story is?

We should treasure the days while we are living and make the best of them.Cheating

1.What do you think of the boy in the story? Why did he wish he were dead after he had cheated? I think the boy in the story knew what was right and what was wrong even though he did something wrong.After he had cheated, he wished himself dead.It proves that when he did something wrong he had a very strong sense of guilt and uneasiness.As is mentioned in the story, the most important thing in the boy's family was to tell the truth.Certainly this idea affected the boy to the core.2.What do you think of cheating in tests? I think cheating in tests is very very bad.If a student gets the habit of cheating in tests, he will depend on cheating to get good marks instead of working hard.Also, cheating will be bad to the student's growth of personality.Third, it makes it hard for teachers to know students' real level of learning, which, as a result, will affect teacher's teaching and finally students' learning.3.Have you ever let others copy your answers? If yes, why?

No, I have never let others copy my answers in tests.But I know some of my classmates have done that before.They know well it's wrong to do so but they just can't stop themselves because they have a wrong idea of friendship.They think if they refuse a good friend's request for help in a test, they will probably lose their friendship.Young William Shakespeare

1.Can you find anything in Shakespeare's early life in Stratford that might have contributed to his future success as a playwright? Yes.Shakespeare went to Mr.Jerkin's school in Church Street every day except on Sundays.There he read and learned all those Latin writers.After he left school, he still read a lot and even started to write poems himself.In addition, he liked watching plays performed by those different companies that came to Stratford on the summer months and he loved to talk to the actors and listened to their stories of London.2.His wife was not presented very favorably in the story.How did Shakespeare deal with his family problems?

When he said he was going to London, Shakespeare met strong opposition from his wife.However, Shakespeare insisted on leaving home and going after his dream.But he told his wife that he would come home to see them when he could.3.Shakespeare was a man eager to learn and determined to succeed.Find examples to illustrate that from the text.When he was still at school, Shakespeare had the ambition to become a writer, a poet.After he left school, he persisted in reading and writing while making shoes and gloves.In London, he was busy day and night learning, acting, writing his own plays, reading books, meeting other writers, making friends, etc.He slept very little.All these examples show that Shakespeare was a man eager to learn and to succeed.Two Boxes of Gold(I)

1.What was Herbert asked to do when he met Mr.Schwarzmoor? Herbert was asked to take two boxes of gold to Naples.The two boxes contained 25 million pounds in gold.Herbert had to take this to Pagliavicini and Rossi, No, 172 Toledo, Naples via Lyons and Marseilles.2.Herbert had a terrible dream on the train.What did the dream suggest?

The train started from Paris.On the half way Herbert fell asleep on the train.Meanwhile, he had a terrible dream in which he couldn't remember the words for opening the letter locks of the boxes.He also dreamed that when he had arrived at his destination, No,172 Toledo, Naples, he was ordered to speak out the words, or to tell the place where the boxes were hidden.Otherwise, he would be executed by shooting.A big earthquake took place in the city and a sea of fire rolled in through the window.Just at this time, Herbert woke up.As we know, dream activity may be provoked by external influences.Sometimes a dream may foretell something about the future.The dream Herbert had on the train might suggest that someone was interested in the two boxes Herbert carried and he would try every means to get the words which would open the letter locks.Because of this, Herbert would meet with various kinds of unexpected troubles and dangers on his way to his destination.3.Which of the two was more suspicious, Major Baxter or Levison ? Give your reasons.Personally speaking, I think Levison was more suspicious.The reasons I am going to give are as follows: 1)Levison carried four boxes which looked exactly like Herbert's.Levison might use these boxes to exchange with Herbert.Thus he could get the gold he wanted.2)Wherever he went, Herbert seemed to be followed by Levison.It suggested that Herbert was kept watch on in secret by Levison.3)Levison wanted to have some champagne with him.When he ordered another bottle of champagne, Levison didn't want to have the waiter open the bottle for him.He did it himself.So he could put some poison in the wine

The Call of the Wild

1.How do you understand the sentence “Buck was beaten(he knew that)but he was not broken”? With the words “beaten” and “broken”, which give the effect of alliteration, this sentence contains profound meanings.Buck was fully aware that he was punished for his furious rebellion, clubbed cruelly by the fat man in a red coat.He was beaten up relentlessly, with bleeding wounds all over his body, but his spirit was not destructible at all.The wildness in him was still forceful enough to be developed in the northern wilderness.Outwardly Buck was now in a miserable shape and condition, but inwardly he maintained his firmness and steadiness.2.What does the law of club and tooth mean? Here, of course, both club and tooth are used in their metaphoric sense.They are indicative of cutting and hitting, biting and beating, crushing and cracking, fighting and punishing.The law of club and tooth means that the rule in the wild north was that of coldness, toughness, harshness, and fierceness.There was no place for softness, or kindness, or gentleness, or politeness.Lenience had to give way to cruelty, friendliness to offensiveness, affection to indifference, tolerance to jealousy, sympathy to antipathy, love to hatred, generosity to hostility

Oliver Twist 《霧都孤兒》讀后感

這部小說主要情節是，一個不知來歷的年輕孕婦昏倒在街上，人們把她送進了貧民收容院。第二天，她生下一個男孩子后死去，這個孤兒被取名為奧利弗·退斯特。奧利弗在孤兒院里掙扎了9年后，又被送到棺材店老板那兒當學徒。難以忍受的饑餓、貧困和侮辱，迫使奧利弗逃到倫敦，又被迫無奈當了扒手。他曾被富有的布朗羅先生收留，不幸讓小扒手發現又被帶回賊窩。善良的女扒手南希為了營救奧利弗，不顧賊頭的監視和威脅，向布朗羅報信，說奧利弗就是他找尋以久的外孫。后來，南希被賊窩頭目殺害，警察隨即圍剿了賊窩。奧利佛終于得以與親人團聚。

這本書中最讓我敬佩的是奧利弗他并未向侮辱屈服，折磨也未能改變他善良的本性，在重重艱難之后他獲得了幸福，奧利弗十分堅強和勇敢，而那些撒謊、欺詐、偷盜的人，真的很可惡。我記得古代有句話：人之初，性本善。我想，犯罪的人本性是好的，他的罪惡不是天生的，是因外界的不良影響而造成的，如果在現代社會中，人人學習奧利弗他那不彎腰，不低頭，堅持不懈的精神，那么善良的本性不會消失。

Uncle Tom's Cabin《湯姆叔叔的小屋》讀后感 《湯姆叔叔的小屋》記述的就是當時的故事。這本書無情地揭露了南方奴隸制度的殘暴面目，重新激起了北方人民對它的極度義憤，從而南北矛盾尖銳，直至1864年美國國內戰爭爆發，因此它被認為是美國南北戰爭的導火線之一。小說以穿插輪敘的方式，描繪了兩個黑奴不同的遭遇，對奴役的不同態度及不同結局。這是斯陀夫人獨具匠心的地方。肯塔基州的一個莊園主謝爾貝因負債累累，受人鉗制，被迫賣掉莊園上最得力、最忠實可靠的黑奴湯姆和謝爾貝太太寵愛的使女伊麗莎的愛子小哈利來抵債。伊麗莎偷聽到消息，攜子連夜逃走。途中夫妻不期而遇，在廢奴派人士幫助下，逃到加拿大，取得了自由。后喬治決心到非洲為建設一個非洲人的國家而努力奮斗。這是一個敢于斗爭的黑人青年，從而走上了光明的道路。湯姆則被賣給了奴隸販子海利，在船上救了一個落水的伊娃，那小女孩的父親圣·克萊亞就買他作家奴，待他寬厚。但老人不久死于非命，湯姆又落到了殘暴的莊園主雷格里的手中。期間雷格里要湯姆鞭打女人，被他當面拒絕，后凱茜和愛彌琳設計逃走，他寧死也沒有說出其二人下落，被活活打死。作者塑造了許多人物，湯姆是最主要的一個。他的忠厚和老實讓我喜歡，他的正義感及助人為樂的精神更是令人敬佩。可他對宗教的篤信，實在讓人費解，作者對此人的刻畫有血有肉，讓人感動。

Tess of the D'Urbervilles《德伯家的苔絲》讀后感 《德伯家的苔絲》是英國著名小說家和詩人托馬斯·哈代創作的代表作之一。苔絲本是一位純潔美麗又非常勤勞的農村姑娘，她向往人生的真和善，但又時時遭到偽和惡的打擊。苔絲的悲劇始于為了全家人生計去遠親家打工，卻因年幼無知而被亞雷騙去了處女的貞操，成了一個“墮落”的女人，受到社會輿論的非議，把她看成不貞潔的罪人；苔絲后來與青年克萊相愛，又因為新婚之夜坦誠有污點的過去而被丈夫遺棄，而與近在眼前的幸福失之交臂；出于高度的家庭責任感和自我犧牲精神，苔絲為換取家人的生存而再次違愿淪為亞雷的情婦；最后因為丈夫的回心轉意使得絕望的苔絲憤而舉起了復仇的利刃，終于成了一個殺人犯，最后不得不付出了生命的代價，導致“象游絲一樣敏感，象雪一樣潔白”的苔絲最后終被完全毀滅。

苔絲在綠草如茵，風景如畫的鄉野里長大，盡管家庭生活窘迫，但少女時代的苔絲內心是明朗，歡快的。她熱愛生活，敢于面對一切困難，為了維持家庭，不惜犧牲自己。苔絲一生都是強權和暴力的受害者。亞雷之所以敢稱霸四野，為非作歹，為所欲為，不僅因為他有錢，有勢，而且更主要的是有資產階級國家機器，法律的保護。社會和法律都認為侮辱和迫害苔絲的人是正當的，而受迫害的苔絲則是有罪的。苔絲一生都必得逆來順受，忍受含垢，不能自衛，而當她有生以來第一次起來自衛的時候，證明了，埃斯庫羅斯所說的那個眾神主宰對于苔絲的戲弄也完結了。

Little Women《小婦人》讀后感

《小婦人》講述的是馬奇一家的故事。家里有四姐妹：追求高貴但會照顧人的大姐梅格，充滿躁動卻關心家人的二姐喬，優雅自私卻頗得人愛的艾美以及忘我無私卻需要家里人的貝思。她們的母親是慈祥的馬奇太太，父親馬奇先生隨軍當兵。這樣的一家人和她們的鄰居男孩勞里、勞里的爺爺勞倫斯先生、馬奇嬸嬸，以及周圍的朋友所發生的如家庭日記般簡單的故事，卻流露著耐人尋味的親情、友情、愛情。

這本書告訴我們如何懷著一顆收獲的心體會，感受并對待它們，并且試著像馬奇一家一樣，為了這些愛，變得更堅強獨立。

書中有許多感人肺腑的話語：

貝思患病危在旦夕時，馬奇姐妹在祈禱： “如果上帝賜給貝思一條生路，我一定不再抱怨?！?/p>

梅格虔誠低語“如果上帝賜給貝思一條生路，我一定愛她敬她，終生做她的奴仆?！?艾美傷心地哭了“假如失去溫柔可愛的姐姐，即使有一千個一萬個綠松石戒指，也不能給她帶來安慰啊?！?/p>

喬認識了巴爾教授這個朋友后說：“嗯，冬天過去了，我一本書都沒寫，也沒有發財，但是我交到了一個很值得相處的朋友，我要努力一輩子享有他的友誼。”
