The Cask of Amontilladoby Edgar Allen PoeThe thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I bestcould, but when he ventured upon insult, I vowed revenge. You, whoso well know the nature of my soul, will not suppose, however, thatI gave utterance to a threat. At length I would be avenged;this was a point definitely settledbut the very definitivenesswith which it was resolved, precluded the idea of risk. I must notonly punish, but punish with impunity. A wrong is unredressed whenretribution overtakes its redresser. It is equally unredressedwhen the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him who hasdone the wrong.It must be understood that neither by word nor deed had Igiven Fortunato cause to doubt my good will. I continued, as was...
《异界修道》作者：秋风思林第一集：异界炮灰第1章：炮灰营一“杀！”随着竭力的一喝，邵亦面无表情的把手中的刀插进了对面的士兵，顿时，刀出之处，穿肠破肚，那士兵的眼珠盯的老大，已经死的不能再死。转头又是一刀劈出，伴随刀光飞起的又是一条血淋淋的手臂。邵亦已经杀红了眼。战场上，同样激烈的撕杀不断的上演，不是杀人，就是被杀，生物的优胜劣汰在这里表现的淋漓尽致。不知道杀了多久，当战鼓鸣起时，战场的士兵明显松了口气，再也不顾前方就是自己敌人，纷纷争先恐后的退回自己的阵营，一场战斗，就此结束。战后记功营。“邵亦，此次杀死高级狼牙将一人，普通兽人十人，低级匹格五十三人，合计杀死高级将领三人，普通兽人一百八十七人，低级匹格五百六十八人……”念完之后，报功员略带惊讶的看着邵亦，眼中包含着羡慕，或是嫉妒的神色，继续说道：“你好像进来炮灰营才一年的时间，居然那么快就完成了任务？你现在可以选...
The Monster Menby Edgar Rice Burroughs1THE RIFTAs he dropped the last grisly fragment of the dismembered and mutilated body into the small vat of nitric acid that was to devour every trace of the horrid evidence which might easily send him to the gallows, the man sank weakly into a chair and throwing his body forward upon his great, teak desk buried his face in his arms, breaking into dry, moaning sobs.Beads of perspiration followed the seams of his high, wrinkled forehead, replacing the tears which might have lessened the pressure upon his overwrought nerves. His slender frame shook, as with ague, and at times was racked by a convulsive shudder. A sudden step upon the stairway leading to his workshop brought him trembling and wide eyed to his feet, staring fea...
Love of Life and other storiesby Jack LondonLOVE OF LIFE"This out of all will remain -They have lived and have tossed:So much of the game will be gain,Though the gold of the dice has been lost."THEY limped painfully down the bank, and once the foremost of thetwo men staggered among the rough-strewn rocks. They were tiredand weak, and their faces had the drawn expression of patiencewhich comes of hardship long endured. They were heavily burdenedwith blanket packs which were strapped to their shoulders. Head-straps, passing across the forehead, helped support these packs.Each man carried a rifle. They walked in a stooped posture, theshoulders well forward, the head still farther forward, the eyes...

SHERLOCK HOLMESTHE ADVENTURE OF THE EMPTY HOUSEby Sir Arthur Conan DoyleIt was in the spring of the year 1894 that all London wasinterested, and the fashionable world dismayed, by the murder of theHonourable Ronald Adair under most unusual and inexplicablecircumstances. The public has already learned those particulars of thecrime which came out in the police investigation, but a good dealwas suppressed upon that occasion, since the case for theprosecution was so overwhelmingly strong that it was not necessaryto bring forward all the facts. Only now, at the end of nearly tenyears, am I allowed to supply those missing links which make up thewhole of that remarkable chain. The crime was of interest in itself,...
A Ramble Among the Hills.I USED frequently to amuse myself towards the close of the day, whenthe heat had subsided, with taking long rambles about theneighboring hills and the deep umbrageous valleys, accompanied by myhistoriographic squire, Mateo, to whose passion for gossiping I onsuch occasions gave the most unbounded license; and there was scarce arock, or ruin, or broken fountain, or lonely glen, about which hehad not some marvellous story; or, above all, some golden legend;for never was poor devil so munificent in dispensing hidden treasures.In the course of one of these strolls Mateo was more than usuallycommunicative. It was toward sunset that we sallied forth from thegreat Gate of Justice, and ascended an alley of trees until we came to...

《最后的学徒1 麦凯琳复仇》作者：[英] 约瑟夫·德拉尼第一章第七个儿子当驱魔人史布克到我家的时候，天色已经渐渐黯淡下来。那一天对我来说简直是度日如年，当时我们正准备吃晚饭。“这就是你们家老七？”史布克一边问父亲，一边低头打量着我，然后略带怀疑地摇了摇头，似乎对我不是很满意。父亲点了点头。“你在家也是排行老七？”父亲又点点头，开始不耐烦地跺起脚来，溅了不少泥巴和肥料在我裤子上。雨水不断地从父亲的帽沿上滴下来。这个季节整天都是阴雨绵绵的。虽然树上已经冒出了新叶，但感觉春天的脚步还很遥远。我的父亲是一个农场主，祖父也是个农场主。经营农场的第一要务就是维持农场的完整性，而不能把农场分成几份交给孩子们；否则，农场将随着子孙的繁衍变得越来越小，到最后农场就可能不复存在了。所以，父亲通常是把他的农场留给他的长子来经营，然后再设法为其他的儿子找其他的工作，如果可能的话，他尽力把儿子...

●名家荐语一个艺术家能够给人提供什么呢？他不是教师因而不能给人什么教导。他不是领袖所以未必能给人指引一条光明或安全的道路。他其实也不是灵魂工程师做不来总为别人以至自己脱胎换骨的事。他们是以正规角度看这世界而看腻了的人，并且天真地以为别人可能也不大耐烦，所以为公为私就去找些新鲜的角度看这世界。我想，李清明的文字也在寻找这样的角度。——著名作家 史铁生《微雨独行》 序《微雨独行》 内容简介●内容简介这是一个平凡人写下的篇章，他将唤起我们内心的那一份感动。他内心所体验到的现实，是文字的现实，也是心灵的现实。这是他的人生实践和人生行动的记录。他的思想心得是来自行动中的体悟，有一种真实感人的力量。他说：“你要生活得随意些，你就只能活得平凡些；你要活得辉煌些，你就只能活得痛苦和复杂些；你要活得长久些，你就只能活得简单些。”...
●自序莫言我的回答是：这段话是斯大林在我的梦中、用烟斗指点着我的额头、语重心长地单独对我说的，还没来得及往他的全集里收，因此您查不到这是狡辩，也是抵赖。但我相信：斯大林是能够说出这些话的，他没说是他还没来得及说。进入二十世纪八十年代以来，文学终于渐渐地摆脱了沉重的政治枷锁的束缚，赢得了自己的相对独立的地位。但也许是基于对沉重的历史的恐惧和反感，当时的年轻作家，大都不屑于近距离地反映现实生活，而是把笔触伸向遥远的过去，尽量地淡化作品的时代背景。大家基本上都感到纤细的脖颈难以承受"人类灵魂工程师"的桂冠，瘦弱的肩膀难以担当"人民群众代言人"的重担。创作是个性化的劳动，是作家内心痛苦的宣泄，这样的认识，一时几乎成为大家的共识。如果谁还妄图用作家的身份干预政治、幻想着用文学作品疗治社会弊病，大概会成为被嘲笑的对象。但就在这样的情况下，我还是写了这部为农民鸣不平的急就章。...
译本序但到了五十年代，在香港却有过一本稍稍修订了它的译文的，署名吴明实（无名氏）的盗印本，还一再再版，再版达六版之多。他的一生是如此之简单而馥郁，又如此之孤独而芬芳。也可以说，他的一生十分不简单，也毫不孤独。他的读者将会发现，他的精神生活十分丰富，而且是精美绝伦，世上罕见，和他交往的人不多，而神交的人可就多得多了。他对自己的出生地，即马省的康城，深感自豪。康城是爆发了美国独立战争的首义之城。他说过，永远使他惊喜的是他“出生于全世界最可尊敬的地点”之一，而且“时间也正好合适”，适逢美国知识界应运而生的、最活跃的年代。在美洲大陆上，最早的欧洲移民曾居住的“新英格兰”六州，正是美国文化的发祥之地。而正是在马省的康城，点燃起来了美国精神生活的辉耀火炬。小小的康城，风光如画。一下子，那里出现了四位大作家：爱默生，霍桑，阿尔考特, 和他，梭罗。1834年，爱默生定居于康城，曾到哈...

1.【问题】有判断题说税法的特征是强制性、无偿性、固定性，应当判断为错，可教材不是这么讲的吗？【解答】注意教材是讲：税收的特征主要表现在三个方面：⑴强制性：主要是指国家以社会管理者的身份，用法律、法规等形式对征收捐税加以规定，并依照法律强制征税。⑵无偿性：主要是指国家征税后，税款即成为财政收入，不再归还纳税人，也不支付任何报酬。⑶固定性：主要是指在征税之前，以法的形式预先规定了课税对象、课税额度和课税方法等。税收的特征并不等同于税法的特征。税法作为一种法律规范，和其他法律一样，是由国家指定或认可的，体现国家意志，并由国家强制力保证实施的社会规范，其具有一般法律规范的共同特征。但由于税法是以税收关系作为其调整对象，具有自己以区别于其他法律的特征：⑴税法结构的规范性：税收的固定性直接决定了税法结构的规范性或统一性，一般国家都实行“一法一税”，即按照单个税种立法，作为征...

Arms and the Manby George Bernard ShawINTRODUCTIONTo the irreverentand which of us will claim entire exemption from thatcomfortable classification?there is something very amusing in theattitude of the orthodox criticism toward Bernard Shaw. He so obviouslydisregards all the canons and unities and other things which everywell-bred dramatist is bound to respect that his work is really unworthyof serious criticism (orthodox). Indeed he knows no more about thedramatic art than, according to his own story in "The Man of Destiny,"Napoleon at Tavazzano knew of the Art of War. But both men weresuccesses each in his waythe latter won victories and the formergained audiences, in the very teeth of the accepted theories of war and...
