__________________________________________________________________________________________ For the next eight or ten months, Oliver was the victim of a systematic cour of treachery and deception. He was brought up by hand. The hungry and destitute situation of the infant orphan was duly reported by the workhou authorities to the parish authorities. The parish authorities inquired with dignity of the workhou authorities, whether there was no female then domiciled in " the hou
" who was in a situation to impart to Oliver Twist, the consolation and nourishment of which he stood in need. The workhou authorities replied with humility, that there was not.
Upon this, the parish authorities magnanimously and humanely resolved, that Oliver should be "farmed" or, in other words, that he should be dispatched to a branch-workhou some three miles off, where twenty or thirty other juvenile offenders against the poor-laws, rolled about the floor all day, without the inconvenience of too much food or too much clothing, under the parental superintendence of an elderly female, who received the culprits at and for the consideration of venpence-halfpenny per small head per week. Sevenpence-halfpenny"s worth per week is a good round diet for a child; a great deal may be got for venpence-halfpenny, quite enough to overload its stomach, and make it uncomfortable. The elderly female was a woman of wisdom and experience; she knew what was food for children; and she had a very accurate perception of what was good for herlf. So, she appropriated the greater part of the weekly stipend to her own u, and consigned the rising parochial generation to even a shorter allowance than was originally provided for them. Thereby finding in the lowest depth a deeper still; and proving herlf a very great experimental philosopher.（分数：4.00）

__________________________________________________________________________________________ We were all at the hospital every afternoon, and there were different ways of walking across the town through the dusk to the hospital. Two of the ways were alongside canals, but they were long. Always, though, you crosd a bridge across a canal to enter the hospital. There was a choice of three bridges. On one of them a woman sold roasted chestnuts. It was warm, standing in front of her charcoal fire, and the chestnuts were warm afterward in your pocket. The hospital was very old and very beautiful, and you entered through a gate and walked across a courtyard and out a gate on the other side. There were usually funerals starting from the courtyard. Beyond the old hospital were the new brick pavilions, and there we met every afternoon and were all very polite and interested in what was the matter, and sat in the machines that were to make so much difference.（分数：4.00）

On weekends his Rolls-Royce became an omnibus, bearing parties to and from the city between nine in the morning and long past midnight, while his station wagon scampered like a brisk yellow bug to meet all trains. And on Mondays eight rvants, including an extra gardener, toiled all day with mops and scrubbing-brushes and hammers and garden - shears, repairing the ravages of the night before.（分数：4.00）

26.Comment on the following excerpt and write a 100-word essay on it.(10 points)From Ralph Waldo Emerson"s The American ScholarBooks are the best of things, well ud; abud, among the worst. What is the right u? What is the one end, which all means go to effect? They are for nothing but to inspire. I had better never e a book than to be warped by its attraction clean out of
my own orbit, and made a satellite instead of a system. The one thing in the world of value is the active soul—the soul, free, sovereign, active. This every man is entitled to; this every man contains within him, although, in almost all men, obstructed, and as yet unborn. The soul active es absolute truth; and utters truth, or creates. In this action, it is genius; not the privilege of here and there a favorite, but the sound estate of every man. In its esnce, it is progressive. The book, the college, the school of art, the institution of any kind, stop with some past utterance of genius. This is good, say they,—let us hold by this. They pin me down. They look backward and not forward. But genius looks forward. The eyes of man are t in his forehead, not in his hindhead. Man hopes, genius creates. To create,—to create, —is the proof of a divine prence. Whatever talents may be if the man create not, the pure efflux of the Deity is not his;—cinders and smoke there may be, but not yet flame. There are creative manners, there are creative actions, and creative words; manners, actions, words, that is, indicative of no custom or authority, but springing spontaneous from the mind"s own s
en of good and fair.On the other part, instead of being its own er, let it receive from another mind its truth, though it were in torrents of light, without periods of solitude, inquest, and lf-recovery, and a fatal disrvice is done. Genius is always sufficiently the enemy of genius by over influence. The literature of every nation bear me witness. The English dramatic poets have Shakspearized now for two hundred
years.Undoubtedly there is a right way of reading, so it be sternly subordinated. Man Thinking must not be subdued by his instruments. Books are for the scholar"s idle times. When he can read God directly, the hour is too precious to be wasted in other men"s transcripts of their readings. But when the intervals of darkness come, as come they must,—when the sun is hid, and the stars withdraw their shining,—we repair to the lamps which were kindled by their way, to guide our steps to the East again, where the dawn is. We hear, that we may speak. The Arabian proverb says, "A fig tree, looking on a fig tree, becometh fruitful. "（分数：2.00）
