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, "Perhaps I 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 carefully before I began to 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.
In my sixth year on the island, 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, 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.
I kept food and tools at both of my houses, and also wild goats. 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 fields. And so, many
years went by.

When I think of growing up, I think of summertime and those long days when good weather
and free time allowed the world to open up in front of me. Every day was a new opportunity for
experience and adventure.
The first summer I can really 75 , I was six years old and spending time in the countryside.
There were fields of corn separated by windbreaks (防护林) of tall trees and a railway fine cut
through the middle of the landscape with its shiny steel tracks. My brother and I walked along the
tracks throwing stones at the grass and flowers that grew along each side. We were warriors,
adventurers. I don't know why, but I suddenly stopped throwing stones and just started 76 and
listening. The corn leaves, the trees, the train tracks, every cloud in the sky, every stone on the
ground, every sight, every sound; it was...beautiful! I had 77 thought of beauty before. I was too
young to be aware of the concept (概念). But there it was all around me and I was part of it.
Today's city children have 78 chance of experiencing that moment. They are the
"touchscreen generation" who spend up to seven hours a day on their mobile phones or surfing the
Internet or watching TV. Even when they have a chance of spending some time with 79 , they
are more fikely to ignore (忽视) it. They prefer to stay focused on their mobile devices.
Summer is the 80 season: for plants and for young people. This summer, try to put aside
your "touchscreen" and let the true beauty of the season open up for you.

Undoubtedly, it's always a happy moment to get some pocket money. But have you everthought about how to spend your pocket money wisely? Now let's check out the following tips and
learn to spend your money in a b 81 way.
Make a list
When you get your pocket money, don't get too happy and impulsive (冲动的). We all have a
lot of things that we want. But do you really need them that much? That's why it is suggested
making a fist before spending money. Start with the thing you want m 82 . You can also write
down about how much it costs or how important it is in your fife. By doing this, you will see if it
is n 83 to buy it.
Help others
[来源:Z.xx.k.Com]
How about being more selfless and using our pocket money to help others? We all know
that there are many people in the world who are in e 84 need of our help. Helping others brings
out the best in us and is one of the greatest joys in our lives. So consider using your pocket money
to do something useful and helpful, to feel how you can make a d 85 .
Save as much as you can.
There is an old saying, "Money doesn't grow on trees." If you spend all your pocket money
all at once, you'll have no money u 86 your next "pay day". Wallets sometimes might not be
the best place to save as they tempt you into spending your money. Get a piggy bank or ask your
parents to start a savings account for you. Someday when you look b 87 , you'll get a strong
sense of achievement by saving so much by yourself! Just remember, every penny counts.
D．Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（12分）
One day a police officer managed to get some fresh mushrooms. He was so pleased with
what he had bought that he offered to share the mushrooms with his fellow officers. When their
breakfast arrived the next day, each officer found some mushrooms on his plate.
One officer looked at the mushrooms carefully and then suggested, "They look nice, but I
heard that some mushrooms might be poisonous (有毒的). Let's get Jimmy to examine a piece for
us." Jimmy was the dog they kept. They brought it in, and fed it one piece of mushroom. The dog
quickly ate 'it, and seemed to enjoy his mushroom. Fifteen minutes later, Jimmy was still alive and
kicking without showing any discomfort. The officers were relieved (放心的) and began to eat
their meal, saying that the mushrooms had a very strange but quite pleasant taste.
However, an hour later, the gardener rushed into the room and reported in a sad voice that
the dog was dead. The officers were astonished and their faces turned white out of fear.
Immediately, they jumped into their cars and rushed to the nearest hospital. The doctors and
nurses used pumps (吸物器) to help them get rid of the mushrooms that remained in their
stomachs. Everyone had a hard time.
When they returned to the police station, they sat down and started to discuss the mushroom
poisoning. Each man explained the pains he had felt and they agreed that it had grown worse on
their way to the hospital. "The poor dog must have died a painful death," said one officer. "Let's
ask the gardener how it died."
So they called the gardener in and asked him more details about Jimmy's death. The gardener
sighed and said, "Jimmy was a good dog. It is said that a car hit him in the middle of the road. But
I guess it didn't suffer much. It died the moment it was hit."

One day, Jack's wife was cleaning out a room. "Look at all these umbrellas," she said to Jack.
,'There are eight and they are all broken."
“I’ll take them all to the umbrella shop and have them repaired," Jack said. "They are too good
to throw away."
Jack took the eight umbrellas to the shop and left them there. The shop-keeper told Jack that the
umbrellas would be ready the next day.
That evening Jack went home from the office by bus as usual. He sat next to an old woman. She
had an umbrella on the floor near her.
When the bus reached his stop, he picked up her umbrella and stood up
"Hey!" the woman said. "That's my umbrella."
"I'm so sorry," Jack said, giving it to her. "I wasn't thinking."
The next day he collected the umbrellas from the umbrella shop and got on the bus.
As he sat down, a voice behind him said, "You have certainly had a successful day."
He turned around and saw the woman whose umbrella he had almost taken the day before.

Nineteen-year-old Jim Casey lived in Seattle, Washington. He wanted to start a business. He
borrowed $100 from his friend Claude Ryan. Then he asked Claude to work with him. Together
the boys set up a local delivery company on August 28, 1907. They called it the American
Messenger Company.
In 1913, Jim and Claude joined with Evert McCabe. They renamed their company Merchants
Parcel Delivery. The company was the first to sort packages so that all those with addresses in the
same area were put in one delivery truck. That way, a driver would not waste time driving all over
the city.
As time went by, the company grew and needed more and more trucks. Charlie Soderstorm was
hired to take care of the trucks. He chose a dark brown color for all of them, because he thought it
gave them a special look.
By the 1920s, Merchants Parcel Delivery had grown into a large delivery company, and was
renamed as United Parcel Service(UPS). Now, UPS has about 279,000 workers in the United
States and 36,000 in other countries.
