the No.7 on The Ne w York Times’ best­seller list published on Nov.28.On Friday afternoon it was No.4 on the best-seller list.It is a hit across the country，landing on best-seller lists and going back to press six times，for a total of 275,000 so far.The publisher cannot print copies quickly enough，leaving some bookstores and online retailers (零售商) hopeless without copies just as the holiday shopping season begins.“It’s frustrating，” said Rona，the owner of the BookMark.“In this age of instant books，why does it take so long to reprint it？” Kris，an owner of a bookstore said：“It was sold right out.There’s a lasting love affair with Mark Twain, especially around here.Anybody within a stone’s throw of the Mississippi River has a Twain attachment.” Mr.Ingram said：“I’m sure every bookseller in the world is saying，‘I_should_have_been_sharper.I should have thought this one through more carefully.’” Earlier this week，the book was sold out at a handful of bookstores.Some booksellers said they had been told，much to their disappointment，that they would not receive reorders until mid-December or even January.Many booksellers said the book has a holiday-gift quality，which has a unique story behind its publication.Twain ordered that the book be published a century after his death.It is more political than his previous works，being frank，funny，angry and full of memories from his childhood.It’s literary，but not too tough to read.The content，itself，is very readable.It can be easily picked up and read without the worry of continuity (连贯性)．“I’ve only had a chance to look at it，but from what I did see，it looked like the kind of book you would never finish，and you would never even think of reading from the beginning to the end，”said Mr.Ingram of Prairie Lights.“It’s the kind of book you would read a little bit every day of your life.”“He was a wonderful showman.And he was cool.Let’s face it.That’s part of it.”Mr.Kettmann said.“We feel America’s kind of excited about a literary icon，”said Ms.Dahne.“There’s something very sweet about the fact that people are interested in a 736-page scholarly book about Mark Twain.”1．We can find this article in

a fad (一时的风尚)．Applehas cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i”－and many otherbrands are following suit.The BBC’s iPlayer－which allows Web users towatch TV programs on the Internet－adopted the title in 2008.A lovely bear－popular in the US and UK－that plays music and video is called“iTeddy”．A slimmed-down version of London’s Independent newspaperwas launched last week under the name “i”．In general，single-letter prefixes (前缀) have been popular since the 1990s，when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use.Most “i”products are targeted at young people and considering the major readers of Independent’s“i”，it’s no surprise that they’ve selected this fashionable name.But it’s hard to see what’s so special about the letter “i”．Why not use “a”，“b”，or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne，head of the Language Center at King’s College，London，“i” works because its meaning has become ambiguous.When Apple uses “i”，no one knows whether it means Internet，information，individual or interactive，Thorne told BBC Magazines.“Even when Apple created the iPod，it seems it didn’t have one clear definition，” he says.“However，thanks to Apple，the term is now associated with portability (轻便) ，” adds Thorne.Clearly the letter “i”also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual.Each person believes they have their own needs，and we love personalized products for this reason.Along with “Google” and “blog”，readers of BBC Magazines voted “i” as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade.But as history shows，people grow tired of fads.From the 1900s to 1990s，products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was associated with all things advanced and modern.However，as we entered the new century，the trend inevitably disappeared.5．We can infer that the Independent’s“i” is aimed at________.A．young readers B．old readersC．fashionable women D．engineers6．The underlined word “ambiguous” means “________”．A．popular B．uncertainC．definite D．unique7．Nowadays，the “i” term often reminds people of the products which are________.A．portableB．environmentally friendlyC．advancedD．recyclable8．The writer suggests that________.A．“i” products are often of a high qualityB．the popularity of “i” products may not last longC．the letter “b” replaces letter “i” to name the productsD．iTeddy is a live bearⅢ.短文改错Never shall I forget the first English lesson giving by Miss Liu.One Monday morning，when she entered the classroom，we found out that she was a young and beautiful lady.Then she introduced her and said they shoul dn’t call her Teacher Liu but Miss ter，she asked us to go to the blackboard and said something about ourselves with English in turn.When it was my turn，I felt too shy that I didn’t dare to say anything before the class.She went up to me and said kind，“Don’t be afraid.I believe you can do well.” At last，I went to the blackboard.She praised me for that I had done.Unit 5Canada—“The True North”Ⅰ.单项填空1．【解析】选D。
