    I (Abraham Lincoln) was born on February 12, 1809, in Hardin County. Kentucky. My parents were both born in Virginia, of undistinguished families — second families, perhaps I should say. My mother, who died is my tenth year, was from a family named Hanks, who now live in Illinois.
My father, at the death of his father, was six years old, and he grew up literally without education. He moved from Kentucky to Indiana when I was seven. We reached our home about the time the state came into the union. It was a wild region, with bears and other wild animals still in the woods. Thee were some so-called schools, but no other qualification was ever required of a teacher beyond "reading, writing, and adding." If a stranger supposed to understand Latin happened to live for a time in the neighborhood, he was looked on as a wizard (巫师). There was absolutely nothing to excite ambition for education. Of course, when I grew up, I did not know much. Still, somehow, I could read, write, and add, but that was all. The little advance I have now made upon this store of education, I have picked up under the pressure of necessity.
I was raised to farm work, which I continued until! Was twenty-two. At twenty-one, I came to Illinois. I remained there for a year as clerk in a store. Then the Black Hawk War came: I was elected a captain of volunteers. A success which gave me more pleasure than any I have had since. I went into the campaign (竞选运动). Ran for the legislature（议会）the same year (1832), and was defeated — the only time I have ever been rejected by the people. In the next and the three succeeding elections I was elected to the legislature. During that period, I studied law, and moved to Springfield to practice it. In 1846 I was elected to Congress. From 1849 to 1854 I practiced law harder than ever before. I was losing interest. In politics when the repeal （废除）of the Missouri Compromise (米苏里妥协) aroused me again. What I have done since then is proudly well known.
If any personal description of me is thought desirable. It may be said that I am pearly six feet rooe inches in bening iean in lesn. Weighing one ounored and eighty ounces on the average; I have a dank other marks or brands.

VI Translate the following passage into Chinese.
If someone were to ask us, why did human beings start to cover their bodies with clothes? Most of us would answer, to keep themselves warm, of course.
It is only when he begin to think about it a little that we realize that clothes are worn for a great many reasons that have nothing to do with the climate, or with our need for warmth, at all.
For instance, we wear clothes to some extent in order to decorate ourselves —to make ourselves, if possible, look more dignified (尊严) or important than we are. Even the plainest clothes warn by civilized people have their buttons, belts, collars and so forth arranged in such a way that they form a kind of decoration, and the material itself is of a kind and color that we think suits us, and is cut on arranged in a way that we think looks alike— though ideas about whet looks nice change very much from time to time.
Besides decorating us   clothes have to link us up with the people among whom we live. We feel uncomfortable if they do not lock night'—if they are not similar to those which other people of our ages        and neried are wearing.
Clothes of a special kind are often worn to show that the wear dl ages。 The law. The armed forces, the government, or some less important organization.
 Sometimes, even in civilized countries, people wear some article of clothing, or some level or charm (护身符), because they believe that it will bring them luck or protect them from evil or illness. Or because it is connected with their religious beliefs.
