There was an American writer who often told such a story to his friends and readers:
It was an exhibition of the artists’ works organized by the Red Cross. I was invited as a special guest to take part in the exhibition. During this period, two cute girls of 16 or 17 years old came to me and asked for my signature(签名)。
“I h a ven’t brought my pen.It the pencil okay?” I asked. In fact I knew they wouldn’t refuse. I just wanted to show a well-known writer’s good manners to the common readers.
“Certainly,” the young girls readily agreed. I could see they were very excited. Of course, their excitement also made me more pleased with myself. One of the girls handed her notebook to me. I took out my pencil, wrote a few words of encouragement, and signe d my name. The girl read my signature, frowned(皱眉), looked at me carefully and asked, “Aren’t you Robe r t Charboss?”
“NO,”I told her proudly,“I’m the author of Alice Adams,the winner of two Pulitzer Prizes.”
The young girl turned to another one, and said, “Mary,lend your eraser to me.”
At the moment, all my pride turned into a bubble immediately. Since then, I always warn(告诫)myself：Don’t think too highly of yourself even though you are so outstanding.

Writers can be creative. To do this, they can use figures of speech(修辞). There are many of these. Here we learn some of them, such as similes, metaphors, hyperbole, and personification.
Similes and metaphors are both comparisons(比较)between two unlike things. But they are not the same. Similes use “as” or “like” to compare two things. For example, “hard as stone” “spend money like water” are similes. Metaphors are comparisons between two unlike things that seem to have nothing in common. “Life is a book” and “A policeman took me out of the snake of traffic” are metaphors.
Hyperbole is also a figure of speech. It is a form of exaggeration(夸张).People often exaggerate when they speak or write. For example, “There were a million people in the store”is hyperbole. “You are the whole world to me” is, too.
Finally, people often give things and animals human characteristics. This is personification. “The w ind is whispering” is one example, so is “My dog is speaking to me”. The wind and a dog are not humans, but they have human characteristics here. So they are examples of personification.
62. This passage introduces kinds of figures of speech to us.
A. 3
B. 4
C. 5
63. “”shows the use of simile.
A. My love is like a red rose
B. She is as tall as me
C. He likes games.

A. B. C.

We have many rules in our school. Some are good for us, I think, but others are not. For
example, we are required to wear school uniforms every day. It helps us have an easy life without too much attention to dress and appearance, so we can just focus on our school work. However, as for “It’s not allowed to bring mobile phones to school”, I don’t think it’s a good rule. Nowadays we
are in IT generation, and mobile phones are really necessary in everyday lives even though for teenagers. In my opinion, the rule can be changed a little like this “It’s not allowed to use mobile phones in class.”
We do need some rules both in schools or families. They are very helpful for us to make fewer mistakes when we are too young to know how to do right. But it would be better for teachers or parents often sit down and listen to our opinions about rules, so that they can be always effective and accepted by us.
