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 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. 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.
------- Adapted from Robinson Crusoe

Thousands of years ago , there lived a king. His people loved him because he looked after their needs well . He would often invite some smart people to look at his work and give him advice.
The king built many things. As he grew old, the king thought , “ I will build a perfect palace to remember my whole life. It will be the best one not only in my kingdom (王国), but also in neighboring countries .”
In a month, the king prepared a perfect design for his palace. He invited his advisers, and some smart people from neighboring countries, to get their ideas about the design.
“ Amazing ! It will be a perfect palace ,” all the advisers said . But an old man standing in the corner didn’t say anything .
The king turned to the old man and asked , “Why are you silent ? Don’t you think that my palace will be a perfect one ?”
The old man replied in a calm voice , “Dear king ! Your palace will be strong and last forever. It will be beautiful, but not perfect. It may take tens of thousands of workers a whole lifetime to build it, working day and night. Your palace will cost a lot of money, which must come from the people. If your people will live worse because of this building, how perfect can it be ?”
The king thought for a while and thanked the old man for his words. He decided to give up his plan and care more about people’s lives .

C. Give up your plan if it is not perfect.
D. We should learn to listen to others.

There’s nothing quite like falling sound asleep after a full day of work. Like people, animals need to rest(休息)after working hard. Some animals sleep in water. Others dig holes under the ground. Some even sleep high in trees or under leaves. But they all find a way to rest.
Some animals in the sea sleep in strange ways. Fish sleep with their eyes open. They seem to look ahead far into the sea while they rest. Sea otters(水獭)sometimes sleep in beds of the plants that grow in the sea. This keeps them from moving away. Parrotfish blow something from their mouths when they are ready to sleep. Then a bubble will be formed around them. The bubble protects them from harm while they sleep.
Some animals sleep under the ground. Chipmunks(花栗鼠)sleep curled up (蜷缩)in a ball. Their beds are made of leaves and grass. In winter, they sleep for two weeks and wake up to eat the stored food. Then they go back to sleep for another two weeks before waking up again. Some desert frogs dig underground holes during the hot, dry season. A frog may stay in its hole for months.
High above the ground, monkeys find leafy places in trees each evening before they sleep. The tall trees help to keep monkeys safe during the night. Some insects even sleep under the leaf that will be their next meal. A bee may climb down into a flower to rest. When it climbs out the next morning, it is rested and ready for work.
( )54. What animals blow bubbles when they sleep ?
A . Sea otters. B . Monkeys. C . Desert frogs. D . Parrotfish .
( )55. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about ?
A . The forest where monkeys sleep safely .
B . The animals that sleep above the ground .
C . The reason why bees climb down into flowers .
D . The ways that keep animals away from danger .

 What season is it in October ? If you ask people from E____74____, they will tell you 
it ’s “autumn” . But if you go to US , you will find that people use “autumn ”or “fall ”.
According to Dictionary.com, b___75___ words have been around for a long time, but neither of them was first to describe this season. During this season, crops would become 
ripe (成熟) and farmers would have a big harvest. S___76___ in Old English, this season 
was simply called “harvest ”. 
Then , in the 1600s, more people l___77___ their farms and moved to cities . With 
f__78___ people farming, the word “ harvest ” became less useful. English speakers needed a d__79__name for the season. They knew leaves fell from trees d___80____ the season, so people started calling it" the fall of the leaf ”, or “ fall ” for short .
But at the e___81___ of the 1600s, autumn, from the French word “ autompne ” and the Latin “ autumnus ”, came to English .“ Fall ” as the word for this season disappeared
slowly.
At the s___82__ time, people in the UK were making their first trip to North America. They brought the words “fall”  and “ autumn ”with them.
That ’s w____83____ today Americans have two names for one season .
