40、Bedfordshire, England, in November, 1628. His father was a maker and mender of pots and kettles, and the son followed the same trade. Though he is usually called a tinker, Bunyan had a settled home and place of business. He had little schooling, and he describes his early surroundings as poor and me
41、an. He became much interested in religions, but it was only after a tremendous spiritual conflict, lasting three or four years, that he found peace. His struggles are related with extraordinary vividness and intensity in his “Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners.” His writing began with a controv
42、ersy against the Quakers (教友派), and shows from the first the command of a homely but vigorous style.Like most working men at the time, Bunyan had a deep hatred for the corrupted, hypocritical rich who accumulated their wealth “by hook and by crook.” As a stout Puritan(清教徒), he had made a conscientio

45、gious allegory (寓言) in the English language.

46、ominant metaphor life as a journey is simple and familiar. The objects that Christian meets are homely and commonplace, and the scenes presented are typical English ones, but throughout the allegory a spiritual significance is added to the commonplace details. Here the strange is combined with the f
47、amiliar and the trivial joined to the divine, and, a rich imagination and a natural talent for storytelling also contribute to the success of the work which is at once entertaining and morally instructive. “The Vanity Fair,” is an excerpt from The Pilgrims Progress. The story starts with a dream in
48、which the author sees Christian the Pilgrim, with a heavy burden on his back, reading the Bible. When he learns from the book that the city in which he and his family live shall be burnt down in a fire, Christian tries to convince his family and his neighbors of the oncoming disaster and asks them t
49、o go with him in search of salvation, but most of them simply ignore him. So he starts off with a friend, Pliable. Pliable turns back after they stumble into a pit, the Slough of Despond. Christian struggles on by himself. Then he is misled by Mr. Wordly Wiseman and is brought back onto the right ro
50、ad by Mr. Evangelist. There he joins Faithful, a neighbor who has set out later but has made better progress. The two go on together through many adventures, including the great struggle with Apollyon, who claims them to be his subjects and refuse to accept their allegiance to God. After many other
51、adventures they come to the Vanity Fair where both are arrested as alien agitators. They are tried and Faithful is condemned to death. Christian, however manages to escape and goes on his way, assisted by a new friend, Hopeful. Tired of the hard journey, they are tempted to take pleasant path and ar

To find the mid-career average pay for 35 popular degrees, we turned toP, which lets users c
57、ompare their salaries with those of other people in similar jobs by gathering real-time salary data from its 35 million profiles. We then looked at theBureau of Labor Statistics employment estimate data to see how fast employment was expected to increase between 2010 and 2020 in popular jobs held by
58、 people with each degree. Finally we averaged each degrees pay rank and estimated(评估) growth rank to find the best and worst masters degrees for jobs.Physician assistant degree is at the top of the Forbes third-annual look at the best masters degrees for jobs.

Biology, chemistry and history degrees are toward the bottom of the listbut that doesnt mean theyre useless. If
63、 youre enthusiastic about these fields, the lower pay and slimmer job prospects shouldnt prevent you from pursuing a masters. Before you make a decision, you should bear one thing in mind: masters degree-holders dont necessarily earn more than other people in similar jobsso dont base your decision t
64、o pursue one on the idea that youll bring in bigger paychecks.Its also important to think about work-life balance and employee satisfaction for the common jobs associated with these degrees. “You need to consider overall happiness,” Bardaro says. “If obtaining a masters degree causes an imbalance du

Doctors earn more than those in electrical engineering on the average.50. According to what Bardaro said in the last paragraph,
