Ⅵ.阅读理解
Benjamin Franklin is remembered as an inventor, author, statesman, and signer of the Declaration of Independence. But all great people were kids once and got into naughty. In writing about his life, Franklin recalled a youthful event that he later regretted.
Franklin was born in Boston in 1706. His father, whom Ben admired and respected, was a soapmaker and candlemaker with a large family. At the age of ten, Ben was taken out of school and put to work in the shop.
Ben described his duties as “cutting wick(蜡烛芯) for the candles, filling the dipping mold(模具)．But of course he preferred playing outdoors with his friends.
One such plot is told here in his own words.
“There was a saltwetland that bounded part of the millpond, on the edge of which, at high water, we used to stand to fish for minnows(小鱼). By much abuse, we had made it a only quagmire(沼泽地). My proposal was to build a wharf(码头) there fit for us to stand upon, and I showed my comrades a large pile of stones, which were intended for a new house near the wetland, and which would very well suit our purpose. Accordingly, in the evening, when the workmen were gone, I gathered a number of my playfellows, and working with them diligently like so many ants, sometimes two or three to a stone, we brought them all away and built our little wharf. The next morning the workmen were surprised at missing the stones, which were found in our wharf. Inquiry was made after the removers；we were discovered and complained of；several of us were corrected by our fathers；and, though I pleaded the usefulness of the work, mine convinced me that nothing was useful which was not honest.”
