 Readers have returned to Dickens’ books again and again over the years to see what he has to say about their own times. No surprise then that it was Dickens whom Britons turned to during the economic crisis in the last couple of years. Dickens helped them make sense of a world that was rapidly falling apart. The BBC adapted one of his less well-known novels, Little Dorrit, into a popular television drama that introduced many Brits to the novel for the first time. A dark story about greed and money, it was the perfect illustration of bad times. As long as Dickens’s novels have something to say to modern audiences, it seems likely that he will remain one of Britain’s best-loved writers.

Tom appeared on the sidewalk with a bucket of whitewash and a long-handled brush. He stopped by the fence in front of the house where he lived with his aunt Polly. He looked at it, and all joy left him. The fence was long and high. He put the brush into the whitewash and moved it along the top of the fence. He repeated the operation. He felt he could not continue and sat down.　　He knew that his friends would arrive soon with all kinds of interesting plans for the day. They would walk past him and laugh. They would make jokes about his having to work on a beautiful summer Saturday. The thought burned him like fire.　　He put his hand into his pockets and took out all that he owned. Perhaps he could find something to pay someone to do the whitewashing for him. But there was nothing of value in his pockets. So he put the bits of toys back into his pockets and gave up the idea.　　At this dark and hopeless moment, a wonderful idea came to him. It filled his mind with a great, bright light. Calmly he picked up the brush and started again to whitewash.　　While Tom was working, Ben Rogers appeared. Ben was eating an apple as he walked along the street. When he came close to Tom, he stopped.　　Tom went on whitewashing. He did not look at Ben. Ben stared a moment and then said: “Hello! I’m going swimming, but you can’t go, can you?”　　No answer. Tom moved his brush carefully along the fence and looked at the result with the eye of an artist. Ben came nearer. Tom’s mouth watered for the apple, but he kept on working.　　Ben said, “Hello, old fellow, you’ve got to work, hey?”　　Tom turned suddenly and said, “Why, it’s you, Ben! I wasn’t noticing.”　　“I’m going swimming. Don’t you wish you could? But of course you’d rather work. You seem to like it very much.”

“Like it? Well, I don’t see why I shouldn’t like it. Does a boy get a chance to whitewash a fence every day?”　　Ben stopped eating his apple. Tom moved his brush back and forth, stepped back to look at the result, added a touch here and there, and stepped back again. Ben watched every move and got more and more interested. Soon he said,　　“Tom, let me whitewash a little.”　　Tom thought for a moment, was about to agree; but he changed his mind.　　“No, no, it won’t do, Ben. You see, Aunt Polly wants this fence to be perfect. It has got to be done very carefully. I don’t think there is one boy in a thousand, maybe two thousand, that can do it well enough.”　　“No — is that so? Oh come, let me just try. Only just a little.”　　“Ben, I’d like to, but if it isn’t done right, I’m afraid Aunt Polly ...”　　“Oh, I’ll be careful. Now let me try. I’ll give you half of my apple.”　　“Well, here — No, Ben, now don’t. I’m afraid ...”　　“I’ll give you all of it.” Tom gave up the brush with unwillingness on his face, but joy in his heart. And while Ben worked at the fence in the hot sun, Tom sat under a tree, eating the apple, and planning how to get more help. There were enough boys. Each one came to laugh, but remained to whitewash. And when the middle of the afternoon came, Tom had won many treasures. The fence had been whitewashed three times. If he hadn’t run out of whitewash, Tom would have owned everything belonging to his friends.　　He had discovered a great law of human action that in order to make a man or a boy want a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to get.?28. Why did Tom take all his bits of toys out of his pockets? A. Because he was tired and wanted to play with his toys. B. Because he wanted to exchange his toys with his friends. C. Because he wanted to give his toys to his friends.? D. Because he wanted to know if he could buy help with his toys.29. Tom was about to agree to let Ben whitewash when he changed his mind because ______. A. Tom wanted to do the whitew
