15、s along with it strong winds and snow-an environment thats never comfortable to be in. This unpleasant and even frightening aspect of winter can often be seen in literature. In Shakespeares King Lear(1606), the king has given away his kingdom and been rejected by his two ungrateful daughters. He is

16、out in the winter cold, suffering things that are usually reserved for the poorest and most unfortunate human beings. The winter is bad enough for Lear, but being abandoned by his family is worse. A song from another Shakespeare play, As You Like It(1599)，is fitting for this poor old mans situation:

17、 “Blow, blow, thou winter wind, /Thou art not so unkind /As mans ingratitude(忘恩负义)”. Here, winter is used to bring out the ugliness of inhumanity(不人道). There arent many things that are worse than winter, according to Shakespeare. Once winter became less of a threat to human beings ，literary works fe

18、aturing it became more positive. Since Charles Dickens, the representation of the season in literature has often featured happy Christmas celebrations. The cold of the winter weather provides a contrast to the fun going on indoors. Dickens A Christmas Carol(1843)was the start of this, but Christmas

19、is still a common, cheery element(元素) in stories that feature winter scenes today. Consider the joy felt by Harry Potter and his friends in J. K. Rowling s Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone(1997)as they sit down for their festive meal :“Harry had never in all his life had “such a Christmas din

20、ner. A hundred fat, roast turkeys; mountains of roast and boiled potatoes; platters of chipolatas; tureens of buttered peas, silver boats of thick, rich gravy and cranberry sauce”.It is almost as much a pleasure to read about the meal as it might have been to eat it. Although winter stil1 isnt the m

21、ost cheerful season in novels and poems, its safe to say that writers have certainly “warmed up” since Shakespeares days. 25. Whats the authors main purpose in writing this article?A. To recommend some winter stories in literature. B. Tc explain what winter is like in literary works. C. To describe

22、certain customs that are related to winter. D. Tc tell us why winter is described as unpleasant in literature. 26. What can we learn from Shakespeares works?A. Shakespeare didnt like winter for its bad weather. B. King Lear dies of cold one night during winter. C. Winter is a time to think about our

23、 family members. D. Winter is compared with the ugly side of humanity. 27. The author mentions Charles Dickens in the article because . A. a lot of his works are relevant to winterB. he is the most popular author of winter storiesC. he started a new way of representing winter D. his works make peopl

24、e feel cheerful in winter28. The example of Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone is used mainly to show .A. traditional Christmas food makes the winter cheeryB. Christmas is still a symbol of joy in modern storiesC. its a pleasure to read Christmas-related books in winterD. winter has become the

25、happiest season in literary worksCIts funny how ordinary decisions turn out to be life-changing ones. This is exactly what happened in Darshan Chandans case. An email he shot off to a restaurant, after being deeply disappointed with the service he got there, just changed the course of Darshans life.

26、 When the restaurant manager apologized for the poor service and offered to give him free food, Darshan refused the offer and asked them to feed poor children instead. The restaurant went ahead with his suggestion, and after feeding the children, sent pictures to Darshan. “This is the moment that ch

27、anged me forever. The smile on the faces of those children left me touched. And that is when I decided to do something about it, ”he says. Thus, the BhookMitao campaign was born. On June 7, 2016, Darshan and his friends went and fed a couple of children in a slum(贫民窟) in Vadodara, Gujarat. With the

28、volunteer network growing, nowadays, Darshan makes different groups of his volunteers take up a particular spot in the city. For instance, in Vadodara, there are 10 spots, where the children are fed. On Mondays, Darshan and his friends decide what the menu for the coming Sunday is going to be. They

29、get the raw materials from those who want to donate(捐赠) and cook the meals in their own kitchens. “When people contact us saying they want to donate we tell them we only accept raw materials,” Darshan says. The program usually begins at 11 oclock in the morning. They screen movies on education or ma

30、ke the children do some craft work and so on before lunch is served. The movement which started in Vadodara spread to four more citiesGandhidam, Adipur, Nadiad, and Kosamba. And two months ago, it spread to Mumbai as well. The movement has received recognition from Lions Club, Rotary Club, etc. and

31、Darshan was given the Awal Gujarati Award by Radio City. 29. What was the direct cause of the BhookMitao movement?A. The pictures with kids being fed. B. The email sent to the restaurant. C.
