　　A Book Review — The Snake­Stone

　　by Berlie Doherty

　　The setting: Urban England (the cities), but also rural England (the countryside) including remote English villages.

　　The theme: The main theme is a teenage search of self­discovery, in this case the search for a mother from whom the hero was separated at an early age. Its other concerns are love, getting on with others ，being persistent and courageous and trying to deal with doubts, troubles and worries. As the book moves to a close, James' swimming coach says to him: ‘You are not like a kid obeying instructions any more. You are diving like a young man who knows where he is going.’

　　The characters: James is the hero of the story. He is a championship diver, and has a comfortable life with his foster parents(养父母)．Yet he also has the qualities to take him on a long journey to find his birth mother. The other characters in The Snake­Stone, James' parents, his diving instructor, best friend, the villagers, people he meets on his journey, are pictured realistically.

　　The turning point：The turning point in the story comes while James' foster parents are away in London, and he wonders about the identity of his birth mother. The only clue he has is a fossil, ‘the snake stone’ which she left behind along with a note on which she had written，‘Take good care of Sammie.’ It was written on a torn envelope with parts of an address still there.

　　The journey：Instead of going to London, James decides to find his birth mother. With help from his geography teacher, James sets out for the remote country village where his mother might be found. James has painful, challenging, but also humorous and happy travels. The mother he finally meets, Anne, has a minor yet powerful voice in the novel. He comes to understand why she left him at a stranger's door fifteen years before. Although the meeting is not long, it leaves him with a feeling of completeness. As a journey of self­discovery The Snake­Stone also provides its readers with a happy ending. Its hero says, on returning to his foster parents, ‘I was home.’

　　At 9:00 Dick Spivak's bank telephoned and said his payment was late. "The check is in the post," Dick replied quickly. At 11:45 Dick left for a 12:00 meeting across town. Arriving late, he explained that traffic (交通) had been bad. That evening, Dick's girlfriend wore a new dress. He hated it. "It looks just great on you," he said.

　　Three lies in one day! Yet Dick Spivak is just an ordinary man. Each time, he told himself that sometimes the truth causes too many problems. Most of us tell much the same white lies, harmless untruths that help to save trouble. How often do we tell white lies? It depends in part on our age, education, and even where we live. According to one U. S. study, women are more truthful than men, and honesty increases as we get older.

　　While most people use little white lies to make life easier, the majority of Americans care about honesty in both public and personal life. They say that people today are less honest than they were ten years ago. Although it is believed that things are getting worse, lying seems to be an age-old human problem. The French philosopher (哲学家) Vauvenarges

　　writing in the eighteenth century, touched on the truth when he wrote, "All men are born truthful and die liars (说谎者)."

　　1. When the writer says "Dick Spivak is just an ordinary man", he means ______.

　　A. it is common that people tell white lies

　　B. Dick could do nothing about had traffic

　　C. it is common that people delay their payment

　　D. Dick found it hard to deal with everyday problems

　　2. According to the text, most Americans ______.

　　A. hate white lies

　　B. believe white lies

　　C. value honesty

　　D. consider others dishonest

　　3. Vauvenarges' remark suggests that ______.

　　A. lying is an age-old human problem

　　B. dishonesty increases as people get older

　　C. people were dishonest in the 18th century

　　D. it is social conditions that make people tell lies
