But I was 36 into stillness by what I saw. Mother, seated at the far end of the sofa, was 37 with the second-hand green typewriter on the table. She told me that she couldnt 38 fast and then she was out of work. My shock and embarrassment at finding Mother in tears was a perfect proof of how 39 I understood the pressure on her. Sitting beside her on the sofa, I began very slowly to understand. “I guess we all have to 40 something,” Mother said quietly. I could 41 her pain and the tension of 42 the strong feeling that were interrupted by my 43 . Suddenly, something inside me lit up. I reached out and put my arms around her. She broke then. She put her face 44 my shoulder and sobbed. I held her 45 and didnt try to talk. I knew I was doing what I should, what I could and that was 46 . At that moment, feeling Mothers 47 with feelings, I understood for the first time her being easy to 48 . She was still my mother, 49 she was something 50 : a person like me, capable of fear, 51 and failure. I could feel her pain as she must have felt mine on a thousand occasions when I sought 52 in her arms.A week later Mother took a job selling dry goods at half the salary the radio station 53 .“Its a job I can do, though.” She said simply. But the evening practice on the green typewriter continued. I had a very 54 feeling now when I passed her door at night and heard her 55 away across the paper.

Every day they walked with him in the forest, listening to his strange stories about trees, witches, and fortune-tellers. There was no end to his stories - he could go on and on - so one day Deena asked him, Where have you read all these stories? I havent read them. They just get into my mind when I see things. How come? You see, when I see an old oak tree, I try to imagine the experience this tree has. All the people who have passed this tree during the years - lovers - walkers - workers - all kinds of people. And I imagine the tree telling me all this - and there you go - the story is there! So you mean that the tree has stories, Deena said, thinking closely. No, but the presence of the tree makes my mind come up with imagination. When I am alone, I just see sights, but when Im walking with you, the sights come to words, and I tell you the story. Do you see? No, Deena said. I think things are there - events are there - thoughts are there - and peoples minds make connections between them. For animals there are only things and events, and they do not connect them the way we do. They are not supposed to. But people have minds, and the meaning of the human mind is to learn to connect events and things with their thoughts. Uncle Samoa listened attentively. Then he said, What you say is - well, mental creation, or something like that. Does this mean, that you mean, that our goal is to create? That it is more important to create than to think? Thats it, Deena said. Life is creation. Creation is there all the time, waiting for us to see. Look, Uncle Samoa said. Look at that wonderful tree. See a story there? Yes, Sarah laughed. Its a story about love - Mans love for Nature, and Natures love for us. Or a ballet - look at the leaves, Deena said eagerly. They move in the wind like a ballet. I can almost hear the symphony(交响乐), Uncle Samoa said. The forest-symphony, telling us to take care of Nature - dance with it - pick up all stories - make a painting of this wonderful world. I do agree with you - there is nothing but creation. So lets join our hands and dance to my house. I expect a whole orchestra (管弦乐队)waiting for us there. This is just beautiful, Deena said. Three people dancing in the forest, while the leaves make their ballet above our heads. I think Im going to fold out my wings and fly home. Sure, why not! Everything is possible, when the mind is ready and open. And there Uncle Samoa stood, looking at the two flying girls. What a story, he said. What a story!56.

His first full novel The Pickwick Papers brought him immediate fame and this fame continued right through his career. He maintained a high quality in all his writings and although never departing greatly from his typical Dickensian style he did experiment with different themes, moods and styles. Some of these experiments were more successful than others and the publics taste and appreciation of his various works have varied over time. He was usually keen to give his readers what they wanted and the monthly or weekly publication of his works in episodes meant that the books could change as the story went on at the interest of the public. A good example of this is the American episodes in Martin Chuzzlewit which were put in by Dickens in response to lower than normal sales of the earlier chapters. In Our Mutual Friend the inclusion of the character of Riah was a positive description of a Jewish character after he was criticized for the character of Fagin(教唆儿童少年犯罪者)in Oliver Twist. His popularity has waned little since his death and he is still one of the best known and most read of English authors. At least 180 movies and TV adaptations based on Dickens works help confirm his success. Many of his works were adapted for the stage during his own lifetime and as early as 1913 a silent film of The Pickwick Papers was made. His characters were often so memorable that they took on a life of their own outside his books. Gamp became a slang expression for an umbrella from the character Mrs. Gamp and Pickwickian, Pecksniffian and Gradgrind all entered the dictionary owing to Dickens perfect description of these kinds of people. Sam Weller was an early superstar perhaps better known than his author at first. It is likely that A Christmas Carol is his best-known story, with new adaptations almost every year. It is also the most-filmed of Dickens stories, most versions dating from the early years of cinema. This simple morality tale with humor and pathos(感伤), for many, sums up the true meaning of Christmas and eclipses(超越)all his other Christmas stories.60Charles Dickens managed to keep his books in good quality because_.A. he kept enjoying this good fame through his writing careerB. he could keep changing his books by doing experiments as his story went onC. he was abl
