In the summer of 1885, nine-year-old Joseph Meister was very ill. He had been attacked by a sick dog that had rabies(狂犬病), a very dangerous disease. His doctor tried to help him, but there was no cure for rabies at that time. The doctor told Joseph’s parents that perhaps there was one man who could save Joseph’s life. His name was Louis Pasteur.

When Pasteur was young, he was especially interested in medicine, so he spent many hours every day with the chemist (药剂师）who lived in his small town. At that time, the chemist had to make all the medicines himself. Young Louis enjoyed watching the chemist as he worked and helped those people who came to him each day. Pasteur decided that one day he would help people, too.

As a school boy, Pasteur worked slowly and carefully. At first, his teachers thought that young Louis might be a slow learner. Through elementary school, high school, and college, Pasteur worked the same way. In fact, he was not a slow learner, but a very intelligent young man. He became a college professor and scientist, and he continued to work very carefully.

Because of Pasteur’s patience, he was able to make many observations and germs (细菌). Pasteur was studying about the germs that cause rabies when Joseph Meister became ill. In fact, Pasteur believed that he had a medical treatment for rabies, but he never gave it to a person before. At first, Pasteur was afraid to treat Joseph, but the doctor said the child was dying. Pasteur gave Joseph an inoculation (预防接种）every day for ten days. Slowly, the child became better.

During his lifetime, Pasteur studied germs and learned how they cause diseases in animals and people and also studied the way to prevent diseases. On September 28, 1895，Louis Pasteur passed away. The work of this great man has been of great help to modern medicine.

1.According to the passage, young Louis______.

A. was badly hurt by a dog

B. was very interested in medicine

C. made a living by working for a chemist

D. had been thought highly of his teachers

2.We can learn from Paragraph 3 that Louis Pasteur_____.

A. was always patient　　 B. was clever but proud

C. was a slow learner　　 D. was a humorous professor

3.The underlined word “it ”in Paragraph 4 refers to “_____”.

A. the sick dog　　 B. the medical treatment for rabies

C. the germ　　 D. the poor child

4.What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Germs and Diseases　　 B. Rabies: a Terrible Disease

C. The Earliest Chemist　　 D. Louis Pasteur: a Great Scientist

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was published in 1885 and is a sequel(续集）to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. At the end of the story, Tom and his best friend Huck found a lot of money in a cave and were allowed to keep it. Huck starts his story by describing what has happened to him since then.

Many people consider Huckleberry Finn to be one of the ‘great American novels’. However, when it first came out it was banned by some libraries and schools. People thought that Huck, a young boy and the main character, wasn’t a good example for children because he lied, stole and used bad language. Later, in the second half of the twentieth century, the novel was criticized for its racist language.

In the novel Twain attacks many of the traditions of the southern states of the USA, through the eyes of the main character, the reader sees and judges the South, its faults and its good qualities.

Several themes run through the story. Perhaps the most important one is slavery, which was finally abolished in all American states in 1865. Another is freedom. Both Huck and Jim want to be free—Jim from slavery and Huck from the society that wants to control him. A third is friendship. The adventures that Jim and Huck share on the river bring them closer together. The fact that Jim is black and a slave is no longer important and they become good friends. Jim helps Huck and Huck helps Jim in return.

It was from several of his classmates asking him to join them on a camping trip. This was the first time he was asked to join in an out-of school activity. Why were they asking him now? Nobody seemed to like him. In fact, he had been so lonely that he drowned his feelings with food. As a result, he had put on a lot of weight, and this gave the kids something more to make fun of him.
