We read Dickens because ...The above reasons for reading Dickens may be fair. But these are not exactly the reasons why I read Dickens. My search for an answer continued until one day a ❽text_message (文本信息) came from a student of mine. “We still read Dickens's novels，”she wrote, “because they tell us why we are and what we are.” Simple as it was, that was the explanation I ❾had_sought (seek) for years.Dickens shines a light on who we are during the best of times and worst of times. So go to ❿pick_up (拿起) one of his many novels, read it and enjoy what it has to tell you about yourself.Ⅱ.片段选词填空admiration，plot，modern American literature，refer to，the evils of society，in contrast，wonderfully humorous，be set in，leading character，society's limitation Hemingway once said that all ❶modern_American_literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called The Ad v entures of Huckleberry Finn.
