Frederick learned how to read and write at an early age. He also worked hard in the Baltimore Shipyards and saw how horrible slavery could be. He was beaten on several occasions,by his masters and other shipyard workers. He finally decided to escape, dressed as a sailor, and made it to the North.
In New Bedford, Massachusetts, in 1838, Frederick married Anna Murray. The couple soon met up with a black man named Nathan Johnson, who invited them to stay with him and his family. At that time, Johnson was reading Sir Walter Scott's book The Lady of the Lake. . Eager to leave his old identity behind, Frederick. changed his last name to Douglass, after a character in the book.
His first exposure to the Anti-Slavery Society was through reading the newspaper, The Liberator. He soon met William Lloyd Garrison, the newspaper' s editor and one of the leaders of the Anti-Slavery Society. Douglass gave a speech at a Society meeting, and many people were very much impressed. Douglass then went to work for the Society. And he worked for it for many years.
After a time, people began to doubt the sincerity of his stories. How could this man who spoke with such big words and such high- minded concepts have been a slave just a short time ago? To answer these charges，Douglass published his life story, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave.
Douglass then went to England, where he made important friends in England, who helped him buy his freedom. Frederick Douglass returned to the United States in 1847 as a free man. He moved to Rochester, New York, and began publishing a newspaper, The North Star. The newspaper’s motto was this: “Right is of no sex, truth is of no color and we are all fellow citizens.”
After Lincoln's election and the outbreak of the Civil War, Douglass continued to press for the freedom of slaves and a new cause, the introduction of black soldiers into the Union Army. In 1863，both the things happened. Lincoln issued The Emanci pation Proclamation, and Congress passed a law approving black soldiers in the army.
Frederick Douglass died in 1895 after a long illness. His voice continued to be heard long after his death.
1.Why did Frederick change his name to Douglass?

My sister and I were taught at a very early age to write thank-you letters for birthday and Christmas gifts. We carefully copied addresses from our mom’s address book into our own pretty little books, and a new box of stationery（信箋，信封）was always among my gifts under the tree. We wrote our letters on December 26 at the latest every year. It was an important tradition in our home, and it has turned me into an avid（热情）thank-you-letter writer as an adult.
I still send a great deal of personal mail, and I am extremely interested in all of the trappings of letter writing: unique stamps, beautiful stationery, fountain pens（自来水笔）. I feel a mad rush of satisfaction sticking a stamp on a carefully penned thank-you letter and sending it off in the mail.
Several years ago, I even sent my mom a thank-you letter to thank her for teaching me to count my blessings on paper. Sending letters of thanks out into the world has made me more grateful for the love, support and kindness I receive daily.
My father died when I was twenty-seven. Even then, I found comfort in writing letters of thanks for the gifts of words I received. At a time when all I wanted to do was retreat（退缩）into my own sadness, the act of giving thanks forced me to stay connected to the world and to the lives of the living.
And while it may seem unimportant, my belief in well-written thank-you letters has protected my popularity. Since real thank-you letters are extremely few and far between, my social graces（风度）are considered as a charming difference from other people, and my friends and family always seem truly moved by my efforts.
1.What can we learn about the author’s family?
A.Her family liked to collect stationery.
B.Her family had a thank-you-letter writing tradition.
C.She often copied addresses for her mother.
D.They wrote thank-you letters on Dec 26.
2.How did the author feel when writing thank-you letters?
A.Satisfied. B.Tired. C.Excited. D.Bored.
3.What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?
A.The author felt happy to receive gifts from others.
B.The author’s father died when she was very young.
C.Writing thank-you letters made the author lead an active life.
D.Writing thank-you letters forced the author to talk with others.
4.What does the author intend to tell us?
A.Expressing thanks can protect what we have.
B.Receiving thank-you letters is truly moving.
C.Writing thank-you letters is difficult work.
D.Being grateful can help gain the respect.

Even then my only friends were made of paper and ink. At school I had learned to read and write long before the other children. Where my school friends saw notches of ink on incomprehensible pages, I saw light, streets and people. Words and the mystery of their hidden science fascinated me, and I saw in them a key with which I could unlock a boundless world, a haven from that home, those streets, and those troubled days in which even I could sense that only a limited fortune awaited me. My father didn’t like to see books in the house. There was something about them---apart from the letters he could not recognize---that offended him. He used to tell me that as soon as I was ten he would send me off to work and that I’d better get rid of all my scatterbrained ideas if I didn’t want to end up a loser, a nobody. I used to hide my books under the mattress and wait for him to go out or fall asleep so that I could read. Once he caught me reading at night and flew into a rage. He tore the book from my hands and flung it out of the window.
“If I catch you wasting electricity again, reading all this nonsense, you’ll be sorry.”
My father was not a miser and, despite the hardships we suffered, whenever he could he gave me a few coins so that I could buy myself some treats like the other children. He was convinced that I spent them on sunflower seeds, or sweets, but I would keep them in a coffee tin under the bed, and when I’d collected enough coins I’d secretly rush out to buy myself a book.
My favorite place in the whole city was the Sempere & Sons Bookshop on Calle Santa Ana. It smelled of old paper and dust and it was my refuge. The bookseller would let me sit on a chair in a corner and read any book I liked to my heart’s content. He hardly ever allowed me to pay for the books he placed in my hands, but when he wasn’t looking I’d leave the coins I’d managed to collect on the counter before I left. It was only small change---if I’d had to buy a book with that pittance (极少的报酬), I would probably have been able to afford only a booklet of cigarette papers. When it was time for me to leave, I would do so dragging my feet, a weight on my soul. If it had been up to me, I would have stayed there forever.
One Christmas Sempere gave me that best gift I had ever received. It was an old volume, read and experienced to the full.
“Great expectations, by Charles Dickens,” I read on the cover.
I was aware that Sempere knew a few authors who frequented his establishment and, judging by the care with which he handled the volume, I thought perhaps this Mr. Dickens was one of them.
“A friend of yours?”
“A lifelong friend. And from now on, he’s your friend too.”
That afternoon I took my new friend home, hidden under my clothes so that my father wouldn’t see it. It was a rainy winter, with days as gray as lead, and I read Great Expectations about nine times, partly because I had no other book at hand, partly because I did not think there could be a better one in the whole world and I was beginning to suspect that Mr. Dickens had written it just for me. Soon I was convinced that I didn’t want to do anything else in life but learn to do what Mr. Dickens had done.
1.The underlined word “haven” in Paragraph 1 probably means “______”.

A. the people who played a part in the author’s story

3.The word “friend” is used twice by Sempere to ______.
A. emphasize the emotional connection Sempere feels to reading
B. imply that Sempere had one close friend in his lifetime
C. underline the importance of the author’s connection to Sempere
D. stress how friendships helped the author deal with difficulties
4.Why does the author consider Great Expectations to be the best gift?
A. Because he wanted to make the acquaintance of the book’s author.
B. Because the gift meant that Sempere regarded him as a special friend.
C. Because reading the book convinced him that he wanted to be a writer.
D. Because he’d only ever been given sweets and snacks as gifts in the past.
