Though the world was a very different place when Cleary was a child, she has always believed that kids pretty much stay the same which explains the ongoing popularity of her beloved characters, like Ramona Quimby, Henry Huggins and Ralph S. Mouse.Cleary was in her early thirties and working parttime in a bookstore when she sat down at a typewriter to see if just maybe she could write a book for kids. She had worked as a librarian before World War ， and she wished shed had books for young readers about children living everyday lives.“I think children want to read about normal, everyday kids，” she said. “Thats what I wanted to read about when I was growing up. I wanted to read about the sort of boys and girls that I knew in my neighborhood and in my school. I think children like to find themselves in books.” Her first book, Henry Huggins, came out in 1950. Henry had a friend named Beezus, and Beezus had a mischievous (爱恶作剧的) but lovable little sister named Ramona. Over the next 50 years, Cleary took Ramona all the way from nursery school to the fourth grade. Cleary says when she was writing Ramona, she took inspiration from a little girl who lived in the house behind hers as a child. Her books have hooked generations of children, including a young Jeff Kinney, who grew up to become the author of the “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” series.“I must have been about 8 or 9 years old when I first read Beverly Cleary，” Kinney recalled. “The book that really interested me was Ramona Quimby, Age 8.”“Most kids have parents, teachers, bullies(欺凌)we all experience these things，” Kinney said. “And Beverly Cleary understood that. Her work is still as closely connected with the subject today as when it first came out.”Now, generations of children have been fortunate enough to enjoy her stories of Klickitat Street.【文章大意】本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了美国童书作家Beverly Cleary的故事。1.
