25、The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

On that Saturday afternoon, the Harpers and Aunt Polly’s family went into mourning (哀悼). The village was unusually quiet. The villagers talked little but sighed (叹息) often. Children had no heart in sports and gave them up. People were sad to know that Tom, Joe and Huck were drowned (淹死).

In the afternoon, Becky found herself walking around the yard and feeling very sad. She said to herself, “I haven’t got anything to remember Tom by. He’s gone now. I’ll never, never see him any more.”

Then there was a debate (争论) about who saw the dead boys last in life. Many said they did and offered evidence. When it was finally decided who saw the dead boys last, the lucky ones took open themselves some self-importance.

The next morning, when the bell began to toll (鸣钟), the villagers got together in the church. No one could remember when the little church had been so full before. Aunt Polly entered. She was followed by Sid and Mary and by the Harper family. They were all in deep black. As the funeral continued, people felt sorry that they did not treat the boys well before. They only saw faults (缺点) in them. People gave way to their feelings and cried.

A moment later, the church door opened slowly. People raised their eyes above handkerchiefs and they were surprised. They saw Tom, Joe and Huck — the three dead boys — walk into the church! They had been hiding and listening to their own funeral!

Aunt Polly, Mary and the Harpers threw themselves upon their children and kissed them again and again. Tom got hundreds of kisses that day. Before this, he didn’t know he was loved by so many people.

【1】Why was the village unusually quiet?

A．Because Tom, Joe and Huck went missing.

B．Because Tom, Joe and Huck were believed to have died.

C．Because there was nothing to do on the weekend.

【2】When was the funeral held in the church?

B．On a Saturday afternoon.

C．On a Sunday morning.

D．On a Sunday afternoon.

【3】When people saw Tom, Joe and Huck walk into the church, they felt _______.

D．sad

【4】We can conclude (推断) from the article that _______.

A．the villagers used to treat the boy badly before

C．Mary was the last person to see the dead boys

D．Aunt Polly knew Tom was playing a trick again

26、 Every place offers the possible dangers for getting hurt, even staying at work. We may face dangers like walking into desks or chairs, receiving unexpected cuts from a paper knife and so on. Industrial jobs have similar and more dangers like getting body parts hurt by machines or falling from a height.

No one wants to get hurt. Some accidents are avoidable(可避免的). Most accidents happen because of common things seen every day—an open desk drawer, a chair pulled out too far, water on the floor and so on. We slowly get used to these things we see every day and never think about what they could possibly become in the future.

Think about the following to prevent dangers to yourself and others:

1. If there is something you see and know may become a danger for yourself or others, do something about it. Close a desk drawer, clean up or put a sign over the water, turn off the power before leaving, and so on.

2. Get extra persons’ help and support on a task that is too hard for a single person.

3. Study the situation and think what could possibly happen and change if necessary. Do it before something happens and you won’t have to say some day, “ I should have… How sorry I feel…”

To use an old phrase “Safety is everyone’s duty.” Looking down on it could lead to being hurt. Keep the rule in mind every day “Everyone wants to go home in the same condition they came to work in –or better.”
