The answer shows Clemens39。 colourful early life before he became a writer. Mark Twain was the cry shouted on a ship when the ship entered a part of a river that was two fathoms（6 feet） deep. Twain is an oldfashioned way of saying two. Twain trained as a ship pilot on the Mississippi river for two years, a time that he wrote about in the humorous Life on the Mississippi（1883）. The famous river would bee an important theme in many of his workswho could forget the journey of Huck and Jim along it in his most famous book, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn（1884）. With little education, he had to teach himself how to write stories. Whenever possible, he would go to public libraries. There he spent much time reading and thinking, which greatly helped him with his writing. On the other hand, his life experiences gave him wonderful material to write about and attract readers. Twain wrote in a style that has been called local colour because it shows great knowledge of local people and their customs. The gift is very clear in the two books for which Twain is still celebrated today: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer（1876） and its followup The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which many people call The Great American Novel. The most amazing invention in his book is the voice of Huck himself. Huck did not enjoy schooling. It shows in the way he uses language, in a spoken style. Only a master like Twain could copy the way a young southern boy talked so well.（1）What does the underlined word gift mean in the passage?

I learned in the newspaper that tickets could be bought at the cinema box office in Richland Hills every day between 10：00 . and 4：00 . Because I work from 9：00 5：30 ., the only time I could go to the cinema was during my 45minute lunch time. It is a pity that the cinema is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round（往返）trip in 45 minutes. Last Monday I stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes, waiting for a bus. By the time I saw one ing around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the tripso I had to go back to the office. The same thing happened on Wednesday. On Thursday my luck changed, I got on a bus right away and arrived at the cinema in twenty minutes. But when I got there, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for fiftyfive minutes. I found that I would not have enough time to wait in line. I caught the next bus and went back across the town. Then on Friday I understood my only hope was to make the trip by car. It was not cheap, but I felt it would be worthwhile to see the film. The trip by car only took 10 minutes, but it felt like one hour to me. When I reached the cinema, I was delighted to see that nobody was waiting in line. But I quickly found out that it was because they had already sold out all the tickets.（1）It seems that the writer of the story works .
