Sequoyah was a young Cherokee Indian．son of a white trader and an Indian Squaw(北美印第安女人)．At an early age，he became fascinated by“tile talking leaf”，an expression thathe used to describe the white man’s written records．Although many believe this"talking leaf”to be a gift from tile Great Spirit，Sequoyah refused to accept that theory．Like other Indians oftile period，he was illiterate，but his determination to remedy tile situation led to the inventionof a unique 86 character alphabet based on the sound patterns that he heard．

His family and friends thought him mad，but while recuperating(恢复)from a huntingaccident．he diligently and independently set out to create a form. of communication for his ownpeople as well as for other Indians．In l821，after twelve years of work，he had successfully de。veloped a written language that would enable thousands of Indians to read and write．

Sequoyah’s desire to preserve words and events for later generation has caused him to be remembered among the important inventors．The giant redwood trees of-California，called“se-quoias(红杉)”in his honor，will further imprint his name in history．

What is true concerning the book Pride and Prejudice?

Everything is decided in a family__________．

For an English family，the husband’s duty is__________．

“Family”is of course an elastic word．But when British people say that their society isbased on family life，they are thinking of“family”in its nalTow，peculiarly European sense ofmother．father and children living together alone in their own house as aIl economic and socialunit．Thus．every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family—hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life．For both the man and the woman，marriage means leaving one’s parents and starting ones OWN life．The man’s first duty will thenbe to his wife．and the wife’s to her husband．He will be entirely responsible for her financialsupport，and she for the running of the new home．Their children will be their common responsi-bility and theirs alone．Neither the wife’s parents nor the husband’s，nor their brothers or sisters，aunts or uncles，have any fight to interfere with them--they are their own masters.

Readers of novels like Jane Austens Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girl’s parents ，that is，it was marriage among weaalthy familieswerearranged by the，girl paraents that，isit thetsd ty tfindsuitable husband for their daughter preferablyrich one and by skillfulencouragement to lead him eventually to ask their permission to malty her．Until that time，thegirl was protected and maintained in．the parents’home，and the financial relief of getting rid ofher could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry.It isvery different today．Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financiallyindependent before their marriage．This has had two results．A gin chooses her own husband，and she gets no dowry．
