21、

During all this time I never stopped thinking about escape. When I traveled across to the other side of the island, I could see the other islands, and I said to myself, “PerhapsI can get there with a boat. Perhaps I can get back to England one day.”

So I decided to make myself a boat. I cut down a big tree, and then began to make a long hole in it. It was hard work, but about six months later, I

had a very fine canoe (独木舟). Next, I had to get it down to the sea. How silly I was! Why didn’t I think about it before I began work? Of course, the canoe was too heavy. I couldn’t move it! I pulled and pushed and tried everything, but it didn’t move. I was very unhappy for a long time after that.

That happened in my fourth year on the island. In my sixth year I did make myself a smaller canoe, but I did not try to escape in it. The boat was too small for a long journey, and I did not want to die at sea. The island was my home now, not my prison, and I was just happy to be alive.  A year or two later, I made myself a second canoe on the other side of the island. I also built myself a second house there, and so I had two homes.

My life was still busy from morning to night. There were always things to do or to make. I learnt to make new clothes for myself from the skins of dead animals. They looked very strange, it is true, but they kept me dry in the rain.

I kept food and tools at both my houses, and also wild goats (山羊). There were many goats on the island, and I made fields with high fences to keep them in. They learnt to take food from me, and soon I had goats’ milk to drink every day. I also worked hard in my corn (玉米) fields. And so many years went by.

【1】The purpose of making a canoe on the island was to ______.

A.escape in it B.get to the other side of the island

C.use it for food D.go around the island

【2】To survive, the writer did the following EXCEPT ______.

A.keeping goats for milk B.making clothes from animal skins

C.working in the corn fields D.going fishing in the sea

【3】Why didn’t the writer use his first canoe?

A.Because it was too small for a long journey. B.Because it was too heavy to get down to the sea.

C.Because there was something wrong with it. D.Because the writer was busy building a second house.

【4】What’s the right order of the following sentences?

a. I made fields with high fences to keep goats in.   b. I did make myself a smaller canoe.

c. I learnt to make new clothes for myself from the skins of dead animals d. I owned two houses.

A.cdba B.bdac C.bdca D.dbca

【5】From the story, we can learn that ______.

A.the writer tried to make his stay comfortable on the island

B.the writer had nothing to do on the wild island

C.the writer tried to escape in the second canoe, but failed

Dear Tom,

If anyone in your country wants to know more about Chinese knots, let them write to me, I will try my best to introduce(介绍) our Chinese knots to anyone who is interested in Chinese culture.

24、   Do you want to enjoy a family trip to Europe and save money at the same time? Here are five tips that can help you.

Eat out less often

To save money, try going out for one meal each day and having the rest meals at “home”. Certainly, this isn’t possible if you live in a hotel room instead of a home stay(民宿) with a kitchen.

Travel by train

You can travel across Europe safely, easily and cheaply because of its high—speed trains. Traveling by train costs much less than traveling by air and you don’t have to worry about airport security checks(安检).

Don’t make too many plans

You might feel satisfied when you make days and nights full of tours. However, it’s not a good way of traveling because you may be too tired to enjoy yourself. You’d better just plan to do one big thing each day.

Take part in free activities

Especially in big cities, you’ll find many free or cheap things to do. City parks, museums, squares and the seaside are all good places for kids.

【1】You can stay in a hotel with a_________to save money.

A. B. C. D.

【2】Which of the following is NOT the reason for travelling by train in Europe?

When I finally got to that family, I s【3】 those little children were too hungry to say a word. There was no sadness in their eyes, just the deep pain of hunger. I g【4】 the food to the mother. She divided it into two, and went out. She c【5】 half the rice with her. W【6】 she came back, I asked her, “Where did you go?” She gave me this simple a【7】, “To my neighbbours’ houses—they are also hungry!”

I was not surprised that she gave the food to her neighbours. B【8】 poor people are always very kind. But I was surprised that she k【9】 her neighbours were hungry. Usually, when we are in t【10】, we always care about ourselves first, and we have no time for others.
