USA. He was also a famous speaker. He was famous for his sense
of humour. Many people liked to listen to his talk because he liked
to tell some interesting stories to make people laugh all the time.
One day,Mark Twain was going to a small town because of
his writing. Before he was going to leave, one of his friends said to
him that there were always a lot of mosquitoes in the town and told
him that he"d better not go there. Mark Twain waved his hands and
said, "It doesn"t matter. The mosquitoes are no relatives of mine. I
don"t think they will come to visit me. "
After he arrived at the town,Mark Twain stayed in a small
hotel near the station. He went into his room,but when he was just
about to have a rest, quite a few mosquitoes flew around him. The
waiters felt very sorry about that. "I"m very sorry, Mr Mark Twain.
There are too many mosquitoes in our town," one of them said
to him.
Mark Twain, however, made a joke, saying to the waiter,
"The mosquitoes are very clever. They know my room number.
They didn"t come into the wrong room. " What he said made all the
people present laugh heartily.

millionaire. He had visited every country in the world. He had
crossed Antarctica, flown across the Atlantic by balloon, and
climbed Mount Everest. Last year he decided to walk across Death
Valley, the hottest place on Earth. He walked for days over the hot
desert sand. One night he found the camp (宿营地) where he had
been the night before. Cray had walked in a circle. He was lost.
Two days later he had drunk all his water. He couldn"t walk.
He crawled to the top of a sand dune (沙丘) , and there he saw a
man. The man was wearing smart, clean trousers, a white shirt
and a tie. Gray crawled over to him.
" Water...water..." he said.
" I"m terribly sorry , old boy , " replied the man, " but I haven"t
got any water with me. "
" Help me ! " shouted Gray , " I"m a rich man...a millionaire...
I"ll give you anything. "
"That"s very nice of you, old boy," said the man, " Look,I
can"t give you any water, but would you like to buy my tie?"
"A tie? Of course not ! " screamed Gray, and crawled away.
He crawled slowly up the next sand dune. His mouth was full of
sand. His lips were cracked(破裂) and dry. He couldn"t breathe.
He reached the top of the dune and there he saw a huge good
hotel.Girls were swimming in the large swimming pool. Beautiful
fountains were all around the hotel.
"Is it a mirage(幻景) ?" he thought," Am I dying?" He stood
up and staggered(蹒跚) down the dune.
A waiter in a shining white uniform came out of the door.
" Water...water...a bath ! Food ! " screamed Gray.
"I"m sorry, you can"t come into this hotel,"said the waiter.
" Why not? I"ve got plenty of money...I"m a millionaire. "
" Ah, " replied the waiter, " but you aren"t wearing a tie ! "

holiday and we decided to travel there without going through a
travel agency. You know, you would be submerged (淹没) in
crowds of tourists and lose lots of opportunities to get familiar with
the country more closely. We started to think over our trip and
managed to come up with a free tour of Italy.
The trip was not very long but it was still very impressive (印
象深刻的). We look forward to going there again ! Of course, we
spent lots of time arranging (安排) the trip, but it was well worth
it ! Of course I was afraid that something would go wrong and I was
especially anxious about my visa, but everything went quite
smoothly in the end.
The most difficult part was getting a visa (签证) without an
invitation. In the Italian consulate (领事馆) , one must hand in
some official paper proving that one has a hotel booked for oneself
in order to get the visa. Then we had to solve the ticket problem.
Airlines often sell cheap tickets and we bought ours far in
advance. The next step was to book a hotel. We finally booked a
hotel about 30km away from the heart of Rome and it was the
perfect choice for our trip.
Every day we took a train that carried us to the heart of
Rome. Our big house, which was surrounded by the forest, was a
rare place for the fresh air and absolute silence, beautiful views,
hospitable hosts, comfortable living conditions delighting us to no
end. Besides this, we were very lucky that our mistress was a
Russian. She gave us a lot of advice that was of great use. She
told us what transport to choose and where the best places to go.
Don"t be afraid to arrange your trip by yourself. It"s not
difficult ! The only thing I"ll say right now is that we really enjoyed
traveling by ourselves. We walked with a map and a guide-book to
wherever we wanted and we even met some of our fellow
countrymen on the way just two or three times. So, if you"re also
planning a "single" trip, don"t forget to take a Russian-Italian
phrasebook as people in Italy prefer to speak in their native
tongue.
B. Italy has a lot of attractions.
C. His friend invited him there.
D. He didn"t stay in Italy long enough.
B. Getting a visa without an invitation from the Italian consulate.
C. Booking a comfortable hotel on his own in Rome.

B. the reason why the hotel he booked was the right choice
C. what transport they chose to travel in their Italian trip
D. the reason why the mistress gave them some advice

C. How did the author prepare for his trip?
D. What tools did the author use for his traveling?
part of the body. Through the years I would 1 what I
thought was the correct answer. When I was younger, I
thought 2 was very important to us as humans, so I said,
"My ears, Mommy. "She said, "No. Many people are 3 .
But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon. "
Several years passed 4 she asked me again. Since
making my first 5 , I had often thought of the correct
answer. So this time I told her, " Mommy, sight is very
important to everybody, so it must be our eyes. " She looked at
me and told me, "You are 6 fast, but the answer is not
correct because there are many people who are blind. "
7 the years, Mother asked me a couple more 8 and
always her answer was, "No, but you are getting 9 every
year, my child." Then last year, my Grandpa died.
Everybody was heart broken. Everybody was crying. My Mom
looked at me when it was our 10 to say our final good-bye
to Grandpa. She asked me, "Do you know the most important
body part yet, my dear?"
I was 11 when she asked me this now. I always
thought this was a 12 between her and me. She saw the
13 on my face and told me, "This question is very
important.It shows that you have really 14 your life. " I
saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, "My dear, the most
important body part is your 15 . "I asked, "Is it because it
holds up your head?" She replied, "No, it is 16 on them a
crying friend or loved one can rest their head. I only hope that
you have enough 17 and friends that you will have a
shoulder to cry 18 when you need it. " Then and there I
knew the most important body part is not a 19 one. It is
sympathetic to the pain of 20 .
