Charles sat in the cafeteria with five other students, waiting for Ms. Swanson to interview all

palms were sweaty and his face felt hot. He wondered if his face was red – and if anyone would

notes that he had made earlier. On each card, he had written an answer to a question that Ms.
Swanson might ask. “The emergency eyewash station is not a place to get a drink of water,” he
quietly read aloud from one card.
Charles decided to check out the other candidates. Nearby, a girl with dark red hair was
shuffling (洗牌) her own set of index cards. He watched as she tore a card into
tiny pieces and put the pieces into a pocket. Suddenly she looked up at Charles.
“Are you nervous?” she asked.
“No, I’m not nervous – not at all,” Charles stammered. “What about you?”
“Uh, no, me neither,” the girl responded.
At that moment, Ms. Swanson appeared. “Charles Locke?” she called out.

You might think that castles exist only in fairy tales, but castles are real places that were
used by real people long ago. Castles in Japan and in England did not l 81 the same, but they
were all used to protect people and animals.
English castles were usually b 82 using stone or bricks. Japanese castles were usually
made of wood. In both countries castles had moats, or small rivers, around them to protect people
and animals within the walls. The b 83 across the moat could be pulled up to keep out unwanted
people.
Both countries developed a style of castle with inner walls as well as an outer wall. This
meant that an attacker who got past the outer wall would still not reach the people who lived i
84 .
In the center of a Japanese castle of this kind was a tower that could be well defended（防
卫）. The lords of the castle usually lived in a 85 building. The soldiers lived outside the castle,but nearby in case there was an attack.
In England, living in a castle was like living in a small town. Castles were always b 86
places full of farmers, animals, and soldiers.
Today castles are not used in the same way that they were used many years ago. In each
country we can visit castles and i 87 how people once lived.

weather was hot and he had been driving for many hours, he needed something to drink.
“I’m sorry to trouble you,” he said to the man who answered the door. “Would it be possible
for you to let me have a glass of water?” The man looked at the visitor up and down, as if to
decide whether he could trust him. He finally said, “Of course.”
He gave the Texan a glass of cold water, and after drinking it, the Texan asked him, “Are you
a farmer?”
“Yes,” the man said. “I keep some chickens.”
“I’m also a farmer,” the Texan said. “How big is your farm?”
“It’s about a hundred meters by a hundred meters,” the man said quite proudly. “What about
your farm? How big is it?”
“Well,” the Texan said, “After I’ve had my breakfast, I get in my car and I drive and drive
and drive. I keep on driving all day, and I don’t reach the other side of my farm until dinner time.”
