Tom Sawyer is know
n as one of the most beloved characters in American literature（文学）, but new research found that Mark Twain based this character on his friend named Tom Sawyer. He admired his firefighting friend so much that he gave the character his name.

Mark Twain and Tom Sawyer had many adventures together, gambling（赌博）in Nevada and drinking in pubs. Tom Sawyer once worked as a volunteer firefighter, policeman and customs officer. Before making his way out West, Tom Sawyer used his strength to save 90 people from a burning ship. Mark Twain was particularly moved by this story because his own brother died in a fire while working on a similar steamboat.

The two men became friends immediately after meeting in 1863, with Tom Sawyer traveling to Virginia City, while Mark Twain was working as a reporter there.

After one night they returned to San Francisco, Mark Twain told his friend that he would base a character in his yet-unwritten book on him. Tom Sawyer said, “One day he said to me, ‘I’m going to put you between the covers of a book, Tom.’ ‘Go ahead, Sam,’ I Said, ‘but don’t disgrace（贬黜）my
name.’”

Besides their fon
dness of drinking, the two men also shared a hobby for storytelling. Tom sawyer believed that it was his anecdotes（奇闻轶事）about his own childhood that inspired Mark Twain to create a book on him.

Finally Mark Twain said that the character of Tom sawyer was based on a mix of three real people---John B. Briggs, William Bowen and himself. In spite of this, the historical evidence shows that there might be a fourth, more prominent（突出的）influencer.

We are always attracted by the sea. From it we can get food, minerals and treasures. For thousands of years, we just sailed on it but couldn’t go far under its surface.

We want to explore deep into the sea. However, we are not fish. We must breathe, so we can’t stay underwater for long. To explore deep water, we face even more dangers and problems.

A diver trying to stay underwater for a long time must breathe air or a special mixture of gases. He can wear a diving suit and have air pumped to him from above. He can carry a tank of air on his back and breathe through a special pipe. Water weighs 800 times as much as air. Tons of water pushes against a diver deep in the sea, so his body is under great pressure.

When a diver is under great pressure, his blood takes in some of the gases he breathes. As he rises to the surface, the water pressure becomes less. If the diver rises too quickly, the gases in his blood form bubbles（气泡）. The diver is then suffering from a kind of illness. This kind of illness can cause a diver great pains and even kill him.

Having a great collection of bo
oks at home doesn’t really mean that you are a person who loves reading. It may be got from your father or your father’s father, and it can just impress people around you with the fact that you are a person of culture.

From my point of view, reading is very important in our daily life. For example, reading is a way of gaining knowledge in different areas. It can help us have a great imagination, and it makes things easier when it comes to making compositions on different themes. It gives you the possibility to speak about science, even if you don’t work in this field. You can express your opinions about a political event because you have read something about that.

Secondly, reading gives us the possibility to enter the world of imagination. We can imagine what life will be like in the future. Sometimes, we compare ourselves with the people in the stories we read and they can give us some clues to solve the problems and tell us what to do in certain situations. Books are based on real life. Even if writers are considered to be somehow different from common people, they often face the same problems as we all do.

In short, I would like to say that literature is the perfect way of enriching our culture, expressing correctly, having a rich vocabulary, being able to understand different fields and really being considered to be a learned person.

32. In the author’s opinion, a person has many books at home only to _______.

A. make his house look more beautiful

C. impress others with the fact that he loves reading

D. show that he is rich enough to collect many books

33. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text?

A. Reading a lot is good for writing

B. Reading can help us gain knowledge

C. Reading can help us have a great imagination

D. Reading helps us enter the field of politics easily[来源:学科网ZXXK]

A. people in stories are always unbelievable
