Language points

by, 在这里表示“由……(创作)，出自”。
2. He left school and began work at the age of twelve.
“at the age of twelve”意为：在12岁的时候 =“when he was twelve ”
表达在12岁的时候我们还可以用: at 12/at age 12.
3. But he took the name Mark Twain and became very famous in the 1860s.
“take a name”相当于“choose to have a new name” 开始使用新名字。

如: in the 1990s 20世纪90年代
