24、 It is believed that Huck Finn is based on a childhood friend of Mark Twain's. In fact, Twain was not alone in basing a fictional character on a real-life person.
Severus Snape/John Nettleship
Severus Snape is a skillful teacher teaching magic in Harry Potter. The writer, J. K. Rowling, once said that the character was based on a teacher of hers.
The teacher turned out to be John Nettleship, who taught Rowling chemistry. At first, Nettleship felt surprised. "I know I am a strict teacher," he said. "But I don't think I am as bad as Snape!" On second thoughts, however, he said that he was so ill-tempered that most of his students avoided making him mad. Also, he used to wear long hair and have an untidy lab. That sounds familiar to Harry Potter fans.
Alice/Alice Liddell
Famously, Lewis Carroll's Alice in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is based on Alice Liddell.
Carroll was close to the Liddell family. One day, ten-year-old Alice asked Carroll to tell her a new story. Carroll began to create his famous tale of Alice and what happened after she fell through the rabbit hole. The little girl liked the story so much that she asked him to write it down. And the rest is history.
Dill/Truman Capote
In To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee based Dill on her childhood friend, Truman Capote. Capote once said, "Lee was my best friend. Have you ever read To Kill a Mockingbird? I'm a character in that story! The story takes place just in the town where we lived!"

We noticed that the stewardess (空姐) was working non-stop to make sure of the comfort of the first class passengers. She could not walk by a seat without being given an order. I thought she must love her job very much, since she gave each person such a big smile.
As the stewardess passed our seats near the end of the flight, I looked up at her and said, "Thank you and I hope you have a great night." She stopped with a look of disbelief on her face, and said: "Excuse me?" I repeated my words and she smiled in a rather funny way. It seemed as if I had asked a question that she did not know how to answer.
A little later, as we were getting off the plane, the stewardess said to me: "Thank you very much, sir." Then she said quietly: "You are the only passenger who has thanked me or said anything nice to me all night. I really appreciate your kindness."

Every morning at five, Pierre arrived at the milk company’s stables, saying to Joseph, “Good morning! My old friend!” Then, the two started their day proudly.

One day, the president of the company came to check the early morning milk deliveries. Jacques, the foreman(领班) of the stables, pointed to Pierre and said,“See how the horse listens and how he turns his head toward Pierre?”

But Pierre said, “My life will be nothing if I can’t drive Joseph every day. We are two old men! Let us wear out together. When Joseph is ready to leave, then I too will do so.”
Then one cold morning, after about two years, Jacques said, “Pierre, your horse, Joseph, didn’t wake up. Go over and see him.”
Pierre took one step forward, then turned. “No…no… You…you don’t understand, Jacques.”

29、The Fitting-in of Suzy Khan
The first time I saw Suzy Khan, I knew I had to help her. She was really small for her age of 12. The boy in my class often___ about her and laughed their heads off. She would open a book, pretending to read, with tears dropping on the open page.
All I knew was that she was an orphan (孤儿) from Africa. She had just been adopted by a family intown who decided that the best way for her to learn American ways of life was to be with American kids. I looked down at this tiny girl and promised myself that somehow I would help her.
But how could I help her fit in with us? There had to be a___________.
One day, when I went into the classroom, I saw that Suzy had opened her geography book to a picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a(n)___________copy.
I was surprised and thought that she could do something in the coming___________show. So, I took her to see the art teacher, Miss Parker, and showed her what Suzy had drawn. “Why, it’s wonderful,” said Miss Parker, who then showed us a poster she had painted for the talent show. “I need more of these, but I just don’t have enough time. Could you help me, Suzy?
On the day of the talent show, Suzy’s___________were everywhere all over the hall and all over the school, each one different.
“And finally,” said Mr. Brown, the schoolmaster, at the end of the show, “we have a special award. I’m sure you’ve all noticed the wonderful posters.” Everyone nodded. “One of our own students____them.”
I could hear everyone whispering. “Who in our school could draw that well?”
Mr. Brown waited a while before saying, “Since this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves a___________, too. Our mystery (神秘) artist is our new student—Suzy Khan!”
Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist’s set. “Thank you.” she cried.
I realized at that time when I was looking at her excited face, she’d probably never___________anything in her whole life.
Everyone started to clap their hands. Suzy Khan gave them a shy smile and the applause was deafening. I knew then Suzy was going to be all right.
