4页译林版选择性必修第一册unit3培优综合练Ⅰ.七选五Why We Still Need to Read DickensWalk into any bookstore,and you can hardly avoid “bumping into” Charles Dickens.Many of Dickens’s works still sell well today. 1 As someone who teaches Dickens,the question of why we still read him is often on my mind. 2 One day nearly 10 years ago,however,when I was giving a lecture,I was telling the students that for Victorian readers,Dickens’s writing was a “tune-in-next-week” type of thing that generated crazes. 3 “But why should we still read this stuff?” the student asked.The answer I gave was only acceptable,“Because he teaches you how to think,” I said.The question annoyed me for years,and for years I told myself answers,but never with complete satisfaction.We read Dickens because he is not just a man of his own times,but also a man for our times.We read Dickens because we can learn from experiences of his characters almost as easily as we can learn from our own experiences. 4 But these are not exactly the reason why I read Dickens.My search for an answer continued until one day a text message came from a student of mine.“We still read Dickens’s novels,” she wrote,“because they tell us why we are what we are.” Simple as it was,that’s the explanation I had sought for years.Dickens shines a light on who we are during the best of times and worst of times. 5 If you have time,go to pick up one of his many novels,read it and enjoy what it has to tell you about yourself.A.Then a hand shot up.B.I knew that wasn’t really the reason.C.And they are placed on outstanding shelves.D.That question was never more troubling.E.That’s why we still need to read him today.F.I already know who it is I’ll meet in those novels.G.These are all wonderful reasons to read Dickens.1.

Though it is one of the faded memories of my life today,there are times when I remember his face clearly,especially his eyes.As he had yellow spots on his eyes we called him Spotty.He would have been a stray(流浪的) dog,until he came to me.I was seven years old.My dad had just got a new job in Nasik.We had moved into a rented house.It was raining very heavily on the day we moved.It was a cold dark night.We had our meal and went to sleep.Somehow in the midnight I heard some strange sounds outside the main door.I gathered courage and looked out through the window and I was really amazed at what I saw outside.There was a small puppy lying on an old doormat which my mother had put outside the door.It was wet and trembling.At first it was difficult to see the little one.It was the yellow spots on its eyes that made me realize its presence.It was trying to get under the doormat to avoid the cold air outside and it had managed to get in as I could see only its head outside the doormat.Was it sick or injured?I felt pity for the poor soul.I went in and came out with an old towel。
