Those who gain fame most often gain it as a result of possessing a single talent or skill: singing, dancing, painting, or writing, etc. The successful performer develops a style. that it marketed aggressively and gains some popularity, and it is this popularity that usually convinces the performer to continue performing in the same style, since that is what the public seems to want and to enjoy. But in time, the performer becomes bored singing the same songs in the same way year after year, or the painter becomes bored painting similar scenes or portraits, or the actor is tired of playing the same character repeatedly. The demand of the public holds the artist hostage to his or her own style, success, fame. If the artist attempts to change his or her style. of writing or dancing or singing, etc; the audience may turn away and look to confer fleeting fickle fame on another and then, in time, on another, and so on and so on.

Literature is a means by which we know ourselves. By it we meet 【M1】______

future selves, and recognize past selves; against it we match our present self,

Its primary function is to validate and re-create the self in all its individuality

and distinctness. In doing so, it cements a sense of relationship between the

self and the otherness of the book, and allows us a notion of ourselves as

sociable. Its shared knowledge is vicarious experience; by this means we

enlarge our understandings of what it means to be human, of the corporate 【M2】______

and independent nature of human society. The act of reading the book marks 【M3】______

both our difference in and our place in the human fabric. The more we read,【M4】______

the more we are. In the act of reading silently we are alone from the book,【M5】______

separate from one's own immediate surroundings. Yet in the act of reading 【M6】______

we enter other minds and other places, enlarge our dialogue with the world.【M7】______

Thus paradoxically, while disengaging from the immediate we are increasing

its scope. In silence, reading activates a deeply creative function of consciousness.

We are deeply committed to the narrative which we coexist while 【M8】______

engaged in reading. All kinds of present physical discomfort ness may be 【M9】______

unnoticed while we are reading, and actual time is replaced by narrative time.

To imaginatively enter a fictional world by reading it is then both a liberation【M10】______

from self and an expansion of self.

When President Wilson left Washington, he enjoyed a prestige and a moral influence throughout the world unequalled in history, His bold and measured words carried to the peoples of Europe above and beyond the voices of their own politicians? The enemy peoples trusted him to carry out the compact he had made with them; and the allied peoples acknowledged him not as a victor only but almost as a prophet. In addition to this moral influence, the realities of power were in his hands. The American armies were at the height of their numbers, discipline, and equipment. Europe was in complete dependence on the food supplies of the United States; and financially she was even more absolutely at their mercy. Europe not only already owed the United States more than she could pay; but only a large measure of further assistance could save her from starvation and bankruptcy. Never had a philosopher held such weapons wherewith to bind the princes of this world.

我刚刚接到你的来信，决定用整个上午的时间来给你回信，因为我估料三言两语不能够把我要跟你讲的话讲个明白。我得承认，你所提出的要求很使我诧异，我没有料到提出这个要求的人竟会是你。请你不要以为我说的是气话。如果你一定装作听不懂我的话，那只有请你原谅我失礼了。我们都认为，达西所以要那样做，完全是为了你的缘故。如果你当真一点也不知道，那也只好让我来跟你说说明白了。就在我回家的那一天，有一个意想不到的客人来见你舅父。那人就是达西先生，他跟你舅父关起门来，密谈了好几个钟头。等我到家的时候，事情已经过去了。他说发生的一切都怪他不好。他慨然引咎自责，认为这次的事情都得怪他当初太傲慢，因此称这次出面调停，设法补救自己惹的祸实在是义不容辞。

The preindustrial period of the development of cities in the United States

began with the establishment of the colonies in the late 1600's and lasted until

about 1850. During this period, urban residents made up a small percent of 【M1】______

the total population and cities were small on size. The leading cities were East 【M2】______

Coast seaports. The importance of water transportation in the preindustrial

period is reflected in building of many canals to expand the area in which trade 【M3】______

could be conducted. Water power was also the chief source. Most city

residents worked in commerce and trade, administration, service, the small-

scale hand production of goods. Mechanic production in the United Sates had 【M4】______

its beginnings only in the 1820s, when the first textile mills were set up in

New England using the spinning and weaving machines that had been invented

somehow earlier in England. Most people were farmers, but even city 【M5】______

residents were overwhelming rural in background and experience. The 【M6】______

internal structure of cities in the preindustrial period was relatively

differentiated into separate areas for separate activities, for they were small 【M7】______

enough such that people could easily work or ride, by horseback or by horse

and wagon, to the variation of available facilities. Thus, houses, shops, and 【M8】______

public buildings were typically interspersed; often the shopkeepers or artisans

lived above or behind their stores.

In the preindustrial cities in the United States, which we now regard as 【M9】______

municipal services did not exist. Generally, residents and businesses were

responsible for providing their own water supplies, disposal of sewage and

garbage, and health services. In a time, firefighting and police protection 【M10】______

were also provided on a volunteer basis.

The disturbance of the soul cannot be ended nor true joy created either by the possession of the greatest wealth or by honor and respect in the eyes of the mob or by anything else that is associated with causes of unlimited desires...We must not violate nature, but obey her; and we shall obey her if we fulfill the necessary desires and also the natural, if they bring no harm to us, but sternly reject the harmful... The man who follows nature and not vain opinions is independent in all things. For in reference to what is enough for nature every possession is riches, but in reference to unlimited desires even the greatest wealth is not riches but poverty.

Insofar as you are in difficulties, it is because you forget nature; for you create for yourself unlimited fears and desires. It is better for you to be free of fear lying upon a pallet, than to have a golden couch and a rich table and be fall of trouble.

The pale sun burned away the morning chill and the clinging dampness, revealing a gigantic silent world. Enormous trees with trunks forty, feet in diameter rose two hundred feet overhead, where they spread their dense leafy canopy, blocking out the sky and perpetually dripping water to the ground below. Curtains of gray moss, and the creepers and lianas, hung down in a tangle from the trees; parasitic orchids sprouted from the trunks.

At ground level, huge ferns, gleaming with moisture, grew higher than a man's chest and held the low ground fog. Here and there was a spot of color: the red acanthema blossoms, which were deadly poison, and the blue dicindra vine, which only opened in early morning. But the basic impression was of a vast, oversized, gray-green world an alien place inhospitable to man.

Jan Kruger put aside his rifle and stretched his stiff muscles. Dawn came quickly at the equator; soon it was quite light, although the mist remained.
