Robinson was born in a poor family. At seven, he had to pick coal in a deserted mine near his home, and then he sold what he had picked and earned a few coins to help his parents. He had no schooling, for being so poor, how could they afford school fees?

When he was fifteen, he worked as a servant in a school. Looking at other children studying in the classroom, he felt sorry for himself. In the day time, after the sweeping and cleaning was over, he could stand by the window outside the classroom trying to catch what the teacher said. At night, he tried his best to remember what he learned during the day. He worked so hard at the lesson that he sometimes had just three or four hours’sleep. The more he learned, the greater interest he had. A maths teacher discovered him and came to like this diligent boy and allowed him to sit at the back of the class. In one exam, he came first in grade in the whole school. He would have been given the scholarship if he had been a regular boy of the school.

Robinson struggled through six long years with his study of maths and wrote several articles which caught the attention of some university professors.

1 When you’re invited to have dinner in a foreigner’s home, please remember the following: At table, when the hostess （女主人）picks up her napkin（餐巾），you may pick up yours and put it on your legs. If a servant（佣人） passes food around, he will pass the dish to you at your left hand so that you can easily serve yourself with your right hand. Never serve yourself while the dish is on your right; it is then the turn of your neighbour on the right. Do not reach across the table or in front of someone to get something---that is not polite. Ask him or her to pass it to you. There are things in the middle of the table, such as bread, butter, and candies. You shouldn’t take any until the hostess tells the servant to pass them to you. Do not leave your seat without saying anything. If you need to leave the table to go to the washroom or do something else, you should say “Excuse me for a moment, please.” 41. You should put your napkin on your legs before the hostess picks up hers. 42. The dish is passed to you on either of your sides. 43.

初中英语阅读理解练习题 A friend of mine was fond of drawing horse. He drew the horses very well,but he always began the tail. Now it is the Western rule to begin at the head of the horse, that is why I was surprised. It struck me that it could not really make any difference whether the artist begins at the head or the tail or the belly（肚子）or the foot of the horse, if he really knows his business. And most great artists who really know their business do not follow other people’s rule.They make their own rules. Every one of them does his work in a way peculiar(奇特的) to himself; and the peculiarity means only that he finds it more easy to work in that way. Now the very same thing is true to literature(文学). And the question, "How shall I begin?" only means that you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail or somewhere else. That is, you are not yet experienced(有经验的) enough to trust to your own powers. When you become more experienced you will never ask the question, and I think that you will often begin at the tail --that is to say, you will write the end of the story before you have even thought of the beginning. 1. A friend of the writer’s drew the horses ____. A. very well B. in the way of western rule C. in the way of his own rule D. all of the above 2. The writer was surprised because ____. A. the artist began to draw at the head of the horse B. the artist began to draw at the tail of the horse C. the artist made his own rule D. the artist did not follow other people’s rule 3. You are not yet experienced because ____. A. you don’t know where to begin B. you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail

Well,this isn’t just a problem for you.It was a problem for Wilson Bentley,too.In the 1870s,Wilson Bentley was just a teenager.His family lived in a small town in northeast America.Winters there were long and hard.Bentley’s mother was once a school teacher. She taught him at home. Bentley didn’t go to school until he was 14. He was a quiet boy, and loved reading his mother’s books.But it was his mother’s microscope (显微镜) that interested him. When the other boys were playing with balls, little Bentley was studying things like drops of water, flowers and snowflakes. Bentley loved watching snowflakes. For the next two years young Bentley spent many winter days in a cold room watching these ice crystals (晶体) under his microscope.The boy thought they were so beautiful that he started to draw pictures of them. But there were so many snowflakes that he couldn’t draw them all. How could he keep their beauty forever? Bentley thought of buying a camera. The boy and his mother asked his father to buy one. But, his father didn’t agree. He thought the whole thing was a bad idea. He thought the only thing a farmer should do was farming. But finally Bentley did get a camera. For more than a year he tried to take pictures of snowflakes. On January 15, 1885, during a snowstorm, Bentley took the first ever photo of an ice crystal with his camera. “It was the greatest moment of my life,” Bentley said later. For 13 years, Bentley worked quietly and took thousands of photos of ice crystals. Later he became known as “Snowflake” Bentley.
