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?
