Samuel Langhorne Clemens was born in 1835,in the state of Missouri. When he was four, his family moved to the town ofHannibal, Missouri. Hannibal was a port on the Missippi River, and Clemensloved to watch the big steamboats going up and down the river. He said that allthe boys in his school had one ambition in life: to work on a steamboat!

    His father died when he was just 12 yearsold, and Clemens then went to work for a printer to help support his family. Hetravelled around, and worked in many different cities. But when he was 22, heachieved his ambition—he got a job working on a steamboat. He sailed up anddown the wide Missippi River until the American Civil War began.

    He then moved around America, and triedseveral jobs. He was a soldier, and a silver miner. Then he started working asa writer for a newspaper. It was at that time that he decided to use a pen namefor his stories, and he chose the name "Mark Twain".

    The name is interesting. It comes from hisdays on the steamboats. He used to throw a piece of rope into the river. Therewas a heavy weight on the end of the rope, and the rope had some marks on it.He used the rope to find how deep the river was. Then he shouted out, "MarkOne" or "Mark Twain", meaning "Mark Two". Each markwas about two metres, so when he shouted "Mark Twain", it meant thatthe river was deep enough for the big boat.

    In 1865 Clemens wrote a story about ajumping frog. The story and the writer became famous. In 1867 he toured Europe.He married when he returned, and lived for most of the rest of his in Harfort,Connecticut. He wrote many books, including The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, whichhe wrote in 1876. He also gave many lectures, and became a very famous andpopular man.

    Once two of his friends decided to write tohim, but they had lost his address. So on the envelope they just wrote "MarkTwain, God knows where". Several weeks later, they received a replay fromthe writer. It just said, "He does!"

    Samuel Clemens died in 1910. He isconsidered to be one of America's most important writers.

We are looking forward to add some food servers to our team. Pink Lily is a 5-star restaurant. We are searching for friendly and energetic people who will enjoy our fast-paced, team-oriented (有团队精神的) restaurant environment.

I walk near my house，and I see a man sitting on the ground，hitting（敲打）some﹣thing with a stone. I ask him what he does. He answers he is hitting some bread. He wants to make food for the birds. The large bread is difficult for the birds to eat，so he hits it into small pieces. 

He does it every night by himself. He doesn't understand why we are interested in the thing he is doing. For him，it is just a small thing. He also leaves（留下）some water here for the birds. 

I ask him why he does this. He says， " It's just something small I do so that the bread won't become litter but food for birds. "I tell his story to my friends. I hope it can encourage（鼓励）many people to start something like this. 

If everyone does such a thing，our world may become good and beautiful.
