Mark Twain is someone Americans are taught to love. Older relatives, English teachers and the media always praise him. But when you actually take the time to read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, you find that his work is more wonderful than you could ever i1..

The novel describes a young boy named Tom Sawyer growing up in a small town along the Mississippi River. He explores the countryside on a riverboat with his friends, falls in love with girls, starts secret clubs and searches for treasure. Twain's i2.of childhood is magical —a time of imagination, wonder and, of course, adventure.

More importantly, t3.the eyes of Tom Sawyer, Twain cleverly makes fun of US culture. For example. Tom hates going to church,and Twain uses scenes of Tom there to mock religion(宗教)and i4.old traditions.

Twain's writing is full of these kinds of critical(批判的)points about c5.and politics(政治),That's why he is so loved in the US. He wasn't a6.to state his opinions,and he did so clearly.

He a7.believed strongly in women's—right to vote in elections and gave a famous speech on the subject,called "Votes for Women",in 1901.

"Tom was a great hero once more—the pet of the old,the envy of the young," Twain writes in Tom Sawyer. But he could just as well be describing himself.
