DThere was an American writer who often told such a story to his friends and readers:It was an exhibition of the artists works organized by the Red Cross. I was invited as a special guest to take part in the exhibition. During this period, two cute girls of 16 or 17 years old came to me and asked for my signature(签名)。“I havent brought my pen. It the pencil okay?” I asked. In fact I knew they wouldnt refuse. I just wanted to show a well-known writers good manners to the common readers.“Certainly,” the young girls readily agreed. I could see they were very excited. Of course, their excitement also made me more pleased with myself. One of the girls handed her notebook to me. I took out my pencil, wrote a few words of encouragement, and signed my name. The girl read my signature, frowned(皱眉), looked at me carefully and asked, “Arent you Robert Charboss?”“NO,”I told her proudly, “Im the author of Alice Adams, the winner of two Pulitzer Prizes.”The young girl turned to another one, and said, “Mary, lend your eraser to me.”At the moment, all my pride turned into a bubble immediately.

A. careful B. outstanding C. modest EWriters can be creative. To do this, they can use figures of speech(修辞). There are many of these. Here we learn some of them, such as similes, metaphors, hyperbole, and personification.Similes and metaphors are both comparisons(比较)between two unlike things. But they are not the same. Similes use “as” or “like” to compare two things. For example, “hard as stone” “spend money like water” are similes. Metaphors are comparisons between two unlike things that seem to have nothing in common. “Life is a book” and “A policeman took me out of the snake of traffic” are metaphors.Hyperbole is also a figure of speech. It is a form of exaggeration(夸张).People often exaggerate when they speak or write. For example, “There were a million people in the store” is hyperbole. “You are the whole world to me” is, too.Finally, people often give things and animals human characteristics. This is personification. “The wind is whispering” is one example, so is “My dog is speaking to me”. The wind and a dog are not humans, but they have human characteristics here. So they are examples of personification.62. This passage introduces kinds of figures of speech to us. A. 3 B. 4 C. 563. “ ”shows the use of simile. A. My love is like a red rose B.
