A
During all the time I never stopped thinking about escape(逃离). 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(愚蠢的)I was! Why didn't I think 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.
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(监狱), 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 learned to make new clothes for myself from the skins(皮) of dead animals. They looked very strange, it is true, but they kept me dry in the rain.
I kept food and tools(工具) at both my houses, and also wild goats（山羊）. There were many goats on the island, and I made fields with high fences （栅栏） to keep them in. They learned 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.
26. The purpose (目的)of making a canoe(独木舟) 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
27.To survive, the writer did the following EXCEPT _____________.
A. keeping goats for milk B. making clothes from animal skins
C. working in the cornfields D. going fishing in the sea
28.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
D. the writer was in prison on the island, losing his freedom

When I was about 12, I had an “enemy”, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点）Sometimes she said I was thin. Sometimes she said I was lazy. Sometimes she said I wasn’t a good student .Sometimes she said I talked too much，and so on. I tried to put up with(忍受)her as long as I could .At last，I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.
He listened to me quietly, and then he asked, “Are the things she said true or not? Mary，didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Go and make a list of everything she said and make the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said. ”
I did as he told me and I was very surprised to discover that about half the
things were true.
I brought the list back to my dad .He refused to take it. “That’s just for you，” he said. “You know the truth about yourself better than any other people. When something said about you is true，you’ll find it will be of help to you. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you think is right.”
Many years have passed. The situation often appears in my mind. In our life we often meet with some trouble and we often go to someone and ask for advice. For some advice you will treasure(珍惜)all your life!

There are several ways you can find out about the countries and places you wish to visit.
You can talk to friends who have travelled to the places, you can go and see a colour film（宣传片）about them, or you can read a travel book.
It seems that there are three kinds of travel books. The first are those that give a personal, subjective(主观的) idea of travels which their writer has got himself. These books can be useful if the writers share their traveling experiences with others. The second kind are those books which give objective(客观的) information of things to be done and seen. If a cultured person has written such a book about the facts of a place, then it is more useful. The third kind are those books which are called “a guide” to some place or other. If they are good, they will describe and explain the place in detail(详细地). Like the first kind , they can be interesting and exciting, but their main purpose is to help the reader plan his travel in the most practical way.
Whatever kind of travel book you choose, you must make sure that the book does not describe everything as interesting, exciting or fantastic. You must also keep an open eyes on its date of publication(出版) because travel is very practical matter
and many things change quickly in the 21st century. Finally, you should make sure that it’s easy to find the useful information for your travel.
36. The passage was written to introduce_______.
A. travel maps B. travel books C. travel films D. travel places
37. The writer of the first kind of travel books gave his ideas after he _______.
A. traveled B. read books C. a lot of experience D. surfed the Internet
38. The underlined phrase “a cultured person”means a person with ________.
A. a good appearance B. a good education C. a lot of experience D. a lot of money
39. The date of publication must be noticed because ________.
A. the prices of travel books may be different
B. the writers of travel books may be different
C. the information in travel books is always the same
D. the information in travel books is always changing

C. the third kind of travel books D. some travel articles in newspaper

Here are the three stages(阶段) of taking notes and what you should do during each stage.
1. Before Class
Review your notes you have taken before you come to class. This will be good for remembering what was covered. Get you ready to understand new information your teacher will provide.
2. During Class
Keep your attention on what your teacher is saying and “the signal(信号) words” that tell you what your teacher is going to say and it is important to write in your notes. Examples of signal words are “The most important point…” and “Remember that…”. Be sure to include in your notes information that your teacher repeats or writes on the blackboard. Write quickly so that you can include all the important information in your notes. Do this by writing abbreviations such as med for medicine, using symbols such as % for percent, and writing short sentences.
3. After Class
Rewrite your notes to make them more complete and accurate(准确的) by changing abbreviations （缩写；缩写词） into whole words, symbols into words, and shortened sentences into longer sentences. Use them to answer your questions. If necessary, ask your teacher for help.

Dear Raymond,
How are you? I am in Grade 9 now and I am always busy.
I hardly have any spare time to deal with this problem. I cannot decide when to learn and when to play. I have no courage to share my worries with my friends. I feel stressed from time to time. Trying to keep worries to myself makes me feel worse. My parents care only about marks after exams. They don’t seem to notice that I have tried my best. I don’t know what to do. I need your help.
Can you please offer me some suggestions? I hope to hear from you soon.
Best wishes
Kathy
