Mr Jackson: Hello, Betty. What’s up? Betty: I want to join an Internet group to discuss great books by great writers. Mr Jackson: So, who are your great writers? Betty: Well, maybe Confucius and Shakespeare. Mr Jackson: Really? I accept that they’re great because their works are still read by many people today.

Betty: Well, each of us reads a favourite book and writes a review for the discussion. Mr Jackson: I see. We’re still influenced by Confucius’ ideas, and Shakespeare’s plays also make a lot of sense to us today. People have always read, and will always read great books. By the way, what do you think of Mark Twain, the great American writer in the nineteenth century? 4. 1) work是名词时: a) works意为“著作；作品”，既可以指文字作品，也可以指音乐、美术等作品。如： He is making a study of William Faulkner’s works. 他在研究威廉·福克纳的作品。 2) work作动词，意为“工作” ,或“运转；运行” 。如： a.
