To Regain the Nature of Goodness
-- Review of ‘Oliver Twist’
Oliver Twist, one of the most famous works of Charles Dickens’, is a novel reflecting the tragic fact of the life in Britain in 18th century.
The author who himself was born in a poor family wrote this novel in his twenties with a view to reveal the ugly masks of those cruel criminals and to expose the horror and violence hidden underneath the narrow and dirty streets in London.
The hero of this novel was Oliver Twist, an orphan, who was thrown into a world full of poverty and crime. He suffered enormous pain, such as hunger, thirst, beating and abuse. While reading the tragic experiences of the little Oliver, I was shocked by his sufferings. I felt for the poor boy, but at the same time I detested the evil Fagin and the brutal Bill. To my relief, as was written in all the best stories, the goodness eventually conquered devil and Oliver lived a happy life in the end. One of the plots that attracted me most is that after the theft, little Oliver was allowed to recover in the kind care of Mrs. Maylie and Rose and began a new life. He went for walks with them, or Rose read to him, and he worked hard at his lessons. He felt as if he had left behind forever the world of crime and hardship and poverty.
How can such a little boy who had already suffered oppressive affliction remain pure in body and mind? The reason is the nature of goodness. I think it is the most important information implied in the novel by Dickens-he believed that goodness could conquer every difficulty. Although I don’t think goodness is omnipotent, yet I do believe that those who are kind-hearted live more happily than those who are evil-minded.
For me, the nature of goodness is one of the most necessary character for a person. Goodness is to humans what water is to fish. He who is without goodness is an utterly worthless person. On the contrary, as the famous saying goes, ‘The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose’, he who is with goodness undoubtedly is a happy and useful person. People receiving his help are grateful to him and he also gets gratified from what he has done, and thus he can do good to both the people he has helped and himself.
To my disappointment, nowadays some people seem to doubt the existence of the goodness in humanity. They look down on people’s honesty and kindness, thinking it foolish of people to be warm-hearted. As a result, they show no sympathy to those who are in trouble and seldom offer to help others. On the other hand, they attach importance to money and benefit. In their opinion, money is the only real object while emotions and morality are nihility. If they cannot get profit from showing their ‘kindness’, they draw back when others are faced with trouble and even hit a man when he is down. They are one of the sorts that I really detest.
Francis Bacon said in his essay, ‘Goodness, of all virtues and dignities of the mind, is the greatest, being the character of the Deity, and without it, man is a busy, mischievous, wretched thing, no better than a kind of vermin.’
That is to say a person without goodness is destined to lose everything. Therefore, I, a kind person, want to tell those ‘vermin-to-be’ to learn from the kind Oliver and regain the nature of goodness.

篇6：英语读书报告
I have read some books this term. The one which impressed me most is . I brought this book last term.The book consists of three versions: French, Chinese and English. I read Chinese version first, which made my second read in English much easier. I’m not going to talk about the fairy tale’s writing skills, writing style and what philosophy it contains. Instead, I will pick out several sentences which moved me a lot and then show my feeling.
In part 4, there is “Not everyone has had a friend.” And later, in part 17, there’s “It’s also lonely with people.” The two sentences nearly have the same meaning. A true friend is of a lifetime. You may say that: “I have a lot of friends, and we always play together and chat together……” But in fact, friends are not those whom you always stay with. Friends can be away from your daily life, can be out of connection for a long time, but they understand what you do and what you say all the time. You never feel embarrassed when you stay with your friends and even say no words.
In part 8, the little prince: “He had taken seriously certain inconsequential remarks and had grown very unhappy.” It’s the same to us. We are too concerned about what others say to do what we really want to. Nowadays, we seems to care more about other people than ourselves. When you have bought a dress you thought was beautiful, someone says that: “ Oh, it is not suitable for you.” Guess what, you will not wear the dress any more even if it is new.
In part 18, the flower had seen a caravan passing: “The wind blows them away. They have no roots, which hampers them a good deal.” The sentence seems ridiculous, however, makes me think a lot. For human being, roots mean spirit belief. There’s someone saying that: “One nation won’t be destroyed as long as it has belief.” Here, I want to mention Jewry. No matter how much hardship it went through, it never give up its struggling. I have seen a photo: an old Jewish woman holds a book and reads it seriously even though she is in the ruin after one battle. I admire this nation, and at the same time, I worry about our nation. Maybe it has belief which I don’t notice. It couldn’t be denied that we are becoming more and more fickle and materialistic. We are losing our spiritual belief gradually. Read more and search for one spiritual holy land.
In part 21, the fox tells the little prince : “It’s the time you spent on your rose that makes you rose so important.” I love this sentence most. I think of people’s dream. Perhaps in others’ eyes, our dreams are insignificant. They always discourage us. But what we should know is that only if you devote to your dream, your dream id unique. You yourself is the master of your dream.
At last, I want to take the author’s word as the ending: All grown-ups were children first (But few of them remember it). If only we all remember it.
篇7：英语读书报告
one of the most interesting questions about gullivers travels is whether the houyhnhnms represent an ideal of rationality or whether on the other hand they are the butt of swift's satire。 in other words， in book iv， is swift poking fun at the talking horses or does he intend for us to take them seriously as the proper way to act? if we look closely at the way that the houyhnhnms act， we can see that in fact swift does not take them seriously: he uses them to show the dangers of pride。
first we have to see that swift does not even take gullver seriously。 for instance， his name sounds much like gullible， which suggests that he will believe anything。 also， when he first sees the yahoos and they throw excrement on him， he responds by doing the same in return until they run away。 he says， “i must needs discover some more rational being，” even though as a human he is already the most rational being there is。 this is why swift refers to erasmus darwins discovery of the origin of the species and the voyage of the beagle-to show how gulliver knows that people are at the top of the food chain。 but if lemule gulliver is satirized， so are the houyhnhnms， whose voices sound like the call of castrati。 they walk on two legs instead of four， and seem to be much like people。 as gulliver says， “it was with the utmost astonishment that i witnessed these creatures playing the flute and dancing a vienese waltz。 to my mind， they seemed like the greatest humans ever seen in court， even more d
extrous than the lord edmund burke” 。 as this quote demonstrates， gulliver is terribly impressed， but his admiration for the houyhnhnms is short-lived because they are so prideful。 for instance， the leader of the houyhnhnms claims that he has read all the works of charles dickens， and that he can singlehandedly recite the names of all the kings and queens of england up to george ii。 swift subtly shows that this houyhnhnms pride is misplaced when， in the middle of the intellectual petition， he forgets the name of queen elizabeths husband。
swifts satire of the houyhnhnms es out in other ways as well。 one of the most memorable scenes is when the dapple grey mare attempts to woo the horse that guenivre has brought with him to the island。 first she acts flirtatiously， parading around the bewildered horse。 but when this does not have the desired effect， she gets another idea: “as i watched in amazement from my perch in the top of a tree， the sorrel nag dashed off and returned with a yahoo on her back who was yet more monstrous than mr。 pope being fitted by a clothier。 she dropped this creature before my nag as if offering up a sacrifice。 my horse sniffed the creature and turned away。” it might seem that we should take this scene seriously as a failed attempt at courtship， and that consequently we should see the grey mare as an unrequited lover。 but it makes more sense if we see that swift is being satiric here: it is the female houyhnhnm who makes the move， which would not have happened in eighteenth-century england。 the houyhnhm is b
eing prideful， and it is that pride that makes him unable to impress gullivers horse。 gulliver imagines the horse saying， sblood， the notion of creating the bare backed beast with an animal who had held mr。 pope on her back makes me queezy 。
a final indication that the houyhnmns are not meant to be taken seriously occurs when the leader of the houynhms visits lilliput， where he visits the french royal society。 he goes into a room in which a scientist is trying to turn wine into water (itself a prideful act that refers to the marriage at gallilee)。 the scientist has been working hard at the experiment for many years without success， when the houyhnmn arrives and immediately knows that to do: “the creature no sooner stepped through the doorway than he struck upon a plan。 slurping up all the wine in sight， he quickly made water in a bucket that sat near the door” 。

Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice is a lighthearted tale of love and marriage in eighteenth-century England. It centers on the elder sisters of the Bennet family, Jane and Elizabeth. Their personalities, misunderstandings and the roles of pride and prejudice play a lavishing story. This story is told from third point of view. From my perspective Jane Austen wanted to convey love wins over prejudice and to not just take in the saying of first impression but to look in the person's character deeper. Jane Austin was born in 1775 in Stevenson, Hampshire. Her family wasn't rich but managed to give her a decent education. She was the seventh of eight children of her father, a clergyman. Like other young women of her social class, Jane and her sister Cassandra were educated mostly at home in subjects of music, drawing, painting, needlework, and social behavior. Her father's encouragement and her own enjoyment in reading led Jane to became very well read. At fourteen she began to write little plays for home theatricals. She also wrote nonsense story's to entertain her family. Jane would spend the majority of the evening in the corner of the room with her manuscript and blotter observing the world surrounding her. She would write when the room was quiet and if she were interrupted, she would cover her manuscript with a blotter and continued when the room was silent again. Before Jane Austen died of cancer in 1817 at Winchester, she had already published six successful novels: Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Northanger Abbey, Mansfield Park, Emma, and Persuasion, respectively. Jane Austen is now buried in the ancient cathedral in Winchester of her native Hampshire. Pride and Prejudice lets you travel through lives back then but also she portrays the lives of modern days. You can read it and you might be able to recall some parts of the book as your life, but in a different time period

A Book Report of The Black TulipBy Li Minli, Class 5, 20xxThe Black Tulip is a novel written by Alexandre Dumas Pere, simplified by Micle Wester, and was published by ShanghaiTranslation Press in 1983.
The story is set in the 17th century in Holland when fierce political conflicts prevailed while the society rioted.
In this story, Cornelius Van Baerle being so crazy about tulips tries to grow a black tulip without any other color on it at all in order to gain quite a substantial sum of money offered to the winner. However, Boxtel, a man living in the next door, also has a crush on the money. He then supervises every movement of Cornelius secretly for fear that Cornelius may grow better tulips than his own. Besides this, he also carries out many surreptitious activities to destroy Cornelius’ tulips by all means. Once a while, he accuses Cornelius of harbouring letters that might be harmful to the government so that Cornelius is sent to the prison without giving provocation. This nearly causes him to death. Even here, Cornelius manages to grow tulips with the help of Rosa, the daughter of the prison-keeper. But unfortunately, their first black tulip is stolen by
Boxtel. It’s Rosa who proves the truth and saves Coenelius byherself!
It’s a happy ending in this novel as it says “Those who have suffered much, have a right to be happy.” This quotation brings the whole story to an end and will certainly motivate readers to go on.Rosa herself will remain as quite a good example, too.
Besides, “justice could defeat evil however difficult it is and whatever the process would be” can be easily seen as the author’sdeep philosophy towards life.By reading it, the reader can both enjoy the plots and bestimulated!

He was so popular that his works had been translated into several languagesand welcomed by readers all over the world.
This novel took 17th century Dutch bourgeois revolutionary period of intense political struggle and the turbulent life as itsbackground.
This gist of the story is as follows. The leading role Cornelius is a young doctor who completely doesn’t inquire about politics. He loves growing tulips and is trying to cultivate a black tulip without any other color on it at all. In order to obtain the considerable bonus offered by the government to the first man who cultivates the very kind of black tulip, Boxtel, Cornelius’ neighbor, tries to destroy and steal the bulbs of Cornelius, even kill him. Fortunately, Cornelius in the prison gets acquainted with the prison-keeper’s daughter Rosa and they fall in love. Under Rosa’s help, Cornelius realized his
dream and achieves happiness at last.
It’s firmly believed by some people that when you become rich and successful, happiness will naturally follow. After reading this novel, I believe that nothing is further from the truth. To my mind, the secret to happiness lies in your successful work, in your contribution towards others’ happiness and in your wealth you have
earned through your own honest efforts.
Firstly, in order to obtain happiness, you should achieve your successful work, in order to achieve your successful work.

A Book Report on The Black Tulip
By Huang Xin, Class 0901
I have recently read the simplified version of The Black Tulip published by Shanghai Translation Press. This novel was written by the distinguished French writer Alexandre Dumas Pere, the pioneer of the Romanticism Literature Movement in France. He was so popular that his works had been translated into several languages and welcomed by readers all over the world.

To my mind, the secret to happiness lies in your successful work, in your contribution towards others’ happiness and in your wealth you have earned through your own honest efforts.
Firstly, in order to obtain happiness, you should achieve your successful work; in order to achieve your successful work, you should go through thick and thin. As the writer said, “those who have suffered much, have a right to be happy.” Take the two leading characters for example. They eventually reach happiness after suffering a lot both psychologically and physiologically.
Secondly, your happiness should live in your contribution towards others’ happiness, but not on the contrary, in destroying others’ happiness. If you get your happiness by taking advantage of others or by hurting others, you won’t be happy
with it for long, at least, you won’t enjoy the real happiness. People will think you’re a mean person. Boxtel was a typical case. He would never gain happiness.
Thirdly, wealth obtained through dishonest means doesn’t bring happiness. Happiness is not an end, it is a process. It’s a continuous process of honest and productive work which makes a real contribution to others and makes you feel you are a useful and worthy person.

A Book Report on Sons and Lovers
By Cheng Xin, Class 0901
Sons and Lovers is a novel written by David Herbert Lawrence and it was first published in 1913 in London by Wyman & Sons.
D. H. Lawrence was born at Eastwood, Notts, on September 11, 1885, the fourth child of a miner who had been employed at Brinsley Colliery since he was 7 years old. In 1911, his first novel The White Peacock was published.
Sons and Lovers is divided into two parts and is composed of 15 chapters altogether. The story, set in England, can be interpreted as an autobiographical novel of Lawrence. The hero of the book, Paul Morel, is the second son of a miner's family. His mother, Mrs. Morel, is a daughter of a mid-class family. Because of the differences in family background and education, a shadow is soon cast upon the married life of Mrs. Morel. And this shadow is darkened by Mr. Morel's laziness and alcoholism. By misfortune or bad luck, Mr. Morel has an accident and becomes a cripple, which changes him into a man of bad temper. As a result, the couple shares less and less the things in common and is driven farther and farther apart from each other. Little by little, Mrs. Morel transports her attention and love to her children, especially her two sons, William and Paul. She encourages them to leave the small mining region for a big city to find opportunities for a better life. After the death of her first son, William, because of hard work and pneumonia, Mrs. Morel's divided attention and love is poured completely upon Paul. The mother's abnormal love robs Paul of his normal love for his girl friend.
Sons and Lovers has always been claimed since its publication to be another version of Oedipus complex. But D. H. Lawrence is in no sense an imitator. Sons and Lovers is truly an autobiographical novel. It describes an ordinary life of a coal miner's family. The abnormal love from the mother deprives Paul of his independent
personality and mental health. It is perhaps because of this true picture of life that the novel has won Lawrence everlasting reputation.
