One of the best known American writers is Mark Twain.Many Americans feel that Twain' s novel Huckleberry Finn is the greatest American novel.

Like many men of that time,he hoped to get rich in the silver mines in Nevada.He did not get rich.He worked as a newspaper writer,and American literature became richer for that.He moved to California and wrote for newspapers there.Some of his writings were serious,some were humorous.His funny story about a frogjumping competition won him national fame.Later,he wrote a number of books,traveled and became a wellknown lecturer.He went back to the river,met some old friends,and wrote a book about the Mississippi.He made funny speeches at many dinners.His last years were sad because of the deaths of his wife and daughter,and some of his later writing was painful.

The long Hiccup
It all started with Indian food but it ended in hospital.
For many people the subject of hiccups is a joke,but for Harry Mendis,a fifteenyearold schoolboy from Birmingham,it was something quite different.
His hiccups began on Sunday lunchtime and continued (持续) day and night for two weeks.After the first week,Harry's parents took him to hospital,but it took another week for the doctors to cure (治愈) his hiccups.
Harry,who is now back at school,told what happened to him.
“When I began to hiccup,I drank a glass of water but that didn't work.That evening I had hiccups every four seconds.We tried everything to stop them.I held my breath(屏住呼吸)and drank cold drinks.My father even tried to give me a shock but that didn't work either.”
After a week,he went to the hospital.The doctors took an Xray of his chest but they couldn't find anything wrong.
“They gave me some medicine and my hiccups slowed down,but it was another week before the medicine worked and my hiccups stopped.”
Harry was very lucky.The world record holder of hiccupping is the American farmer Charles Smith,who hiccupped for more than sixtynine years.He stopped in 1990 at last,but nobody knows why.

A.a week B.fourteen days C.three weeks D.one month
