Mark Twain is someone Americans are taught to love. Older relatives, English teachers and the media always praise him. But when you actually take the time to read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, you find that his work is more w1. than you could ever imagine.

The novel describes a young boy named Tom sawyer growing up in a small town a2. the Mississippi River. He explores the countryside on a riverboat with his friends, falls in love with girls, starts secret clubs and s3.for treasure. Twain’s idea of childhood is magical--a time of imagination, wonder and, of course, adventure.

More importantly, t4. the eyes of Tom Sawyer, Twain c5. makes fun of US culture. For example, Tom hates going to church, and Twain uses scenes of Tom there to make fun of religion(宗教) and its old traditions.

Twain’s writing is full of these kinds of critical(批判的) points about c6.and politics.

That’s w7.he is so loved in the US-- he wasn’t afraid to state his opinions, and he did so clearly.

He also believed strongly in w8. right to vote in elections and gave a famous speech on the subject, c9. “Votes for Women”, in 1901.

“Tom was a great hero once more-- the pet of the old, the envy of the y10.,” Twain writes in Tom Sawyer. But he could just as well be describing himself.

Birth order—does it matter? Are you different because you are the first, second, or third child in your family—or maybe the last of nine?

A study found that first-borns have an average IQ that is three points higher than people who fall into a different place in the birth order, perhaps because first-borns often help younger brothers and sisters, which improves their own skills. In 2007, an international organization of CEOs found that 43% of CEOs are first-borns, 33% are middle children, and 23% are last-borns. First-borns are more likely to be doctors and astronauts and get higher pay.

If first-borns are more successful, last-borns are generally more agreeable. They are also more likely to be funny, possibly to get attention from all the bigger people at the dinner table. Mark Twain and Stephen Colbert were both the youngest in large families, and Jim Carrey was the youngest of four. According to a 2007 Time magazine article, “The power of Birth Order.” last-borns are more likely to be artists and successful businessmen.

Then there are the middle children: we have not ignored (忽视) them! Many middle children are short of one-on-one time with their parents. They often feel short-changed: the oldest gets more rights, and the youngest is spoiled (宠坏的). Though they may be ignored, middle children are more likely to grow into easy-going adults.

Many factors make us who we are, but if the research is correct, birth order may be one of the most important factors.

1.Who is most likely to be a CEO?

A.A first-born. B.A second-born. C.A third-born. D.A last-born.

2.What can we learn about Jim Carrey?

A.He is a middle child. B.He is likely to be serious.

C.He is a successful businessman. D.He is likely to be agreeable.

3.What does the underlined sentence mean?

A.They are usually controlled. B.They are always spoiled.

C.They are often popular at home. D.They are often treated unfairly.

4.What can we learn from the 4th paragraph?

A.Middle children often get more attention from parents.

B.Middle children usually communicate with others well.

C.Middle children are more likely to get on well with others.

D.Middle children are usually famous artists and businessmen.

5.What would be the best title for the text?

A.What makes you powerful B.How you can be a CEO

C.What influence birth order has on you D.How you can grow up
