Mark Twain was born in Florida, Missouri, the USA on November 30, 1835.
The pen name Mark Twain comes from his early work as a riverboat pilot on the Mississippi River.
Mark: mark on the sounding line（测深绳的刻度）
twain: old English word meaning “two”
On the river, sailors used the phrase “mark twain” to measure water depth. It meant the water was
two fathoms(英寻 测量水深单位) deep (3.66 meters), safe for steamboats to sail.
Mark Twain spent his youth near the Mississippi River and worked as a river pilot there. The river and nearby towns gave him lots of life materials for his stories.

It was a bright and fresh Saturday morning.The sweet smell of summer

joy. But Tom Sawyer felt as if the weight of the world was on his shoulders. He
looked at the fence his aunt wanted him to paint and his heart sank further.

一个明媚清爽的周六早晨

好像，仿佛
千斤重担

The fence was 30 yards long and 3 yards high.
明媚清晨、花香弥漫、景色怡人，勾勒轻松美好的夏日早晨。

work. Does a boy get a chance to paint a fence like this every

No. Because Tom hated painting at first. Then he pretended to love it to cheat other boys. These boys exchanged gifts to paint for him and finished the fence.
Because Ben wanted to paint the fence very much.
P102
Tom painted one board and surveyed his progress, and then he sat down to have a rest. He imagined his friends having fun and the thought of this burnt him like fire. But just then,Tom had an idea. “I know what I'll do!" he said aloud. He picked up his brush and went back to work.
Ben Rogers came along the road. He was singing happily and eating an apple. Tom paid him no attention and carried on with the task at hand. "Do you want to come swimming " said Ben. “Oh, you have to work, don't you What a pity!"
"Work " said Tom, looking shocked. "This isn't work. Does a boy get a chance to paint a fence like this every day " He went on painting, fully absorbed (adj. 全神贯注) in his work.
Ben became more interested. After a while, he said, “Tom, can I do some painting "
Tom replied, "Sorry, Ben, Aunt Polly is very particular about her fence. I'm the only person that can do it right."
"Please," said Ben, “I'll give you half my apple. Wait, have it all!"
"Fine," said Tom, shaking his hand like a gentleman. "But be careful."
Tom passed Ben the brush with a pretend look of concern on his face. He sat under a tree, enjoying the apple while his friend sweated in the sun.
