I remember the very day that I became black. Up to my thirteenth year I lived in the little Negro town of Eatonville, Florida. It is exclusively a black town. The only white people I knew passed through the town going to or coming from Orlando, Florida. The native whites rode dusty horses, and the northern tourists traveled down the sandy village road in automobiles. The town knew the Southerners and never stopped chewing sugar cane when they passed. But the Northerners were something else again. They were peered at cautiously from behind curtains by the timid. The bold would come outside to watch them go past and got just as much pleasure out of the tourists as the tourists got out of the village.

The front deck might seem a frightening place for the rest of the town, but it was a front row seat for me. My favorite place was on top of the gatepost. Not only did I enjoy the show, but I didn't mind the actors knowing that I liked it. I usually spoke to them in passing. I'd wave at them and when they returned my wave, I would say a few words of greeting. Usually the automobile or the horse paused at this, and after a strange exchange of greetings, I would probably "go a piece of the way" with them, as we say in farthest Florida, and follow them down the road a bit. If one of my family happened to come to the front of the house in time to see me, of course the conversation would be rudely broken off.

During this period, white people differed from black to me only in that they rode through town and never lived there. They liked to hear me "speak pieces" and sing and wanted to see me dance, and gave me generously of their small silver for doing these things, which seemed strange to me, for I wanted to do them so much that I needed bribing to stop. Only they didn't know it. The colored people gave no coins. They disapproved of any joyful tendencies in me, but I was their Zora nevertheless. I belonged to them, to the nearby hotels, to the country—everybody's Zora.

My impressions of the white as a child:

I knew a man who collected English words. He lived in an upturned water tank in the middle

of the Australia desert. Unbelievably hot. He was the official town librarian of one of these ghost towns in the outback of Australia. It was founded in the 1890s. People turned up and hammered wooden pegs into the sand and laid out boulevards and avenues. They built a jail and a huge hotel. That% about all except that someone down south had it on his books that this was an official town, and he sent a library to it, 3,000 volumes and a sum of money as a salary for the librarian. This friend of mine, whose name was Roger, had been a no hoper, as they say, wandering about the outback of Australia. He somehow discovered that there was money to be there and, what is more, boxes of unopened books sitting in his deserted hotel. He turned up there, got the job, and settled down in the hotel, to begin with. The hotel did, actually, just function; that is, it had half a dozen guests a year who .would ride up on horseback, sleep on the floor for an evening, and there push off the next day. This was too much for Roger. It got in the way of his reading. So he took the immense water storage tank, rolled it a mile into the desert, canted his books out there and lived inside it — so, as he said, "I could get a habit of peace and quiet."

Words were a fascination for Roger, and he used to sit in his tank, just thinking about words. If there were a pause in the conversation he would look at you and ask some such question ass "Do you happen to know what 'transubtantiation' is？ "If you said you knew, he was very cast down, because he wanted to tell you.

One of his regular visitors was the government officer who went by every six months. Roger would ask him if he knew what a word meant, and then he would have to admit that he didn't and Roger would be every pleased with himself. Taz, as his name was, got very fed up with this.

So, on one occasion, before he went, he spent an evening with the Oxford English Dictionary. He rode in, tied up his horse and went in to see Roger, and Roger said, "Do you happen to know what an 'embolism' is？' and Taz said; "No, I bloody don't." Then Taz asked him" Do you happen to know what a 'letoard' is？" Roger, was upset to be asked a question. He said: SA leotard？ I think I saw the skin of one once. "And Taz said: "You bloody didn't. "SO Roger said: "Well, what is a leotard？' Taz said: "Urn not going to bloody tell you. ' He got on his horse and rode off and went to sleep in the desert five miles away.

Some time later he was suddenly woken up by a steely grasp on his coat. Hands picked him up bodily from the ground and held him in the air and shook him. He opened his eyes and it was Roger with his eyes glinting in the moonlight, staring at him and saying: "What’s a bloody leotard？"

The outback town was given a library because ______.

A．it was expanding rapidly

B．Roger was a collector of English words

C．a government official thought it necessary

D．the people of the town had requested one from, the government

I came to India a year ago to find a village in which I could live and write but it was ma

ny months be fore I settled down happily in this Himalayan community.

I wasted a lot of time looking for the ‘typical’ village. Yet no such thing exists. Conditions vary too widely. But the villages I stayed in had much in common——poverty, dirt, and ignorance. Often the villagers themselves were puzzled, suspicious. Why had I come？ I had put aside my work as a political journalist because my ideas had changed. I had come to believe that what was happening in the Third World was more important than anything else. But to understand how three-quarters of the world' s people live, and how their future might affect ours, I felt that I first bad to try and share their Way of life.

In the end I chose a mountain village because it was a little cooler than those in the plains. I took the bus from town along a bumpy road. Then came a rough walk down a steep path to the river. After this I began to climb into the hills. Whenever I stopped to catch my breath, there was a magnificent view. After several hours' walk the village came into view.

After the writer had arrived in India ______.

A．he spent years writing about the place he lived in

B．he took quite a long time finding a suitable place to live

C．he spent years looking for a certain village

D．he lived in a Himalayan community for many months
