One day, three of my friends came to our house.
They told me they wanted to go to Africa. They asked me if I wanted to go with them. I said, "Yes, I want to go with you."
We started to prepare all the necessary things for the journey. Soon we were ready to go. I said goodbye to my wife and we started our journey. Our plan was to be back in two months.
We left Brazil on the first of September, 1655. Our ship was very big but we were only seventeen men. The ship was full of things for business. We had cups, glass, mirrors, knives and other products.
At the beginning of our journey the weather was very good, but very hot. In one week, a hurricane (飓风) came and it was threatening our ship for the next twelve days. After the hurricane passed, we saw we went quite far from our original (原来的) journey and were instead close to the northern part of Brazil near the Orinoco River. The ship was badly damaged, so we could no longer go to Africa.
The captain wanted us to go back and repair the ship, but I strongly disagreed with him. We went over the maps and decided the best thing to do was to go to Barbados and repair the ship there.
When we started this short trip, a second hurricane came. The next morning one of the sailors cried out, "Land?" and at that moment the ship stopped in shallow (浅的) water. We expected the ship to break apart at any moment because of the strong wind, so we all got into the small boat the ship carried. This was very dangerous because the seventeen of us were crowded in the boat, and it had no sail.
The waves were very big. The wind was extremely strong. The wind pushed us to big rocks. We knew the crash was close.
Suddenly, a huge wave appeared and overturned the boat. I was covered with water and couldn't breathe. I couldn't see tile others or the boat. But I saw a little beach between the rocks.
Another wave carried me to the beach. I tried to get up. I tried to go further froth the sea. I was able to move ten metres up. I was safe. But my arms and legs were very weak. I fell down and I was lying on the beach.
1.Why did the writer and his friends go to Africa?
A.To leave their wives. B.To earn some money.
C.To send things to Africa. D.To travel around Africa.
2.What did they do after the first hurricane passed?
A.They had to go back to the place where they started.
B.They studied the map and found a new way to Africa.
C.They headed for the nearest place to repair their ship.
D.They lost their way on the sea and gave up their ship.
3.Which is NOT the reason for the boat becoming dangerous?
A.Shallow water. B.No sail. C.Crowded men. D.Big waves.
4.Which of the following shows the right order of the event?
① The ship changed the direction after the hurricane.
② All the men escaped to the boat but it turned over.
③ The writer was washed up on tile beach by a wave.
④ The ship left Brazil with seventeen men on board.

There was a tree in my garden. One day, two birds came to the tree and built a house for their three babies. One day, I heard the sound of these birds. I ran to the garden and found two babies eating food on the ground. A few minutes later, the father bird and the mother bird came back. They brought some food for the third baby. The father bird put the food on the ground,far away from the third baby. To get the food, the baby had to fly to it.
The third baby was hungry, but she was afraid to get out of the nest. To my surprise, the father bird and the mother bird just stood there and did nothing.
After about ten minutes, the third baby bird didn’t have any other choice. She slowly went to the bordor (边缘) of the nest and began to fly. Finally, she landed safely on the ground and enjoyed the food. Just like the birds, if you want to get something you want, you must depend on yourself.

When I talk to my friends back in the US, one of the things they often ask me is whether I miss the food back home. I do miss certain things, like my mom’s cooking, as well as a kind of food that I cannot find in Beijing—Americanized Chinese food.
Why would you want a foreign version of Chinese food when you can get the real thing? Well, American Chinese food is attractive in its own way.
Most American Chinese food can be traced back to (追溯到) Guangdong Province. In the early 20th century, thousands of Chinese came to the US from Guangdong to find work. They settled down in places like San Francisco, where they created the Chinatown communities that still exist (存在) today. And of course, they brought their cuisine (菜肴) with them.
But they changed their dishes greatly in order to appeal to (迎合) American tastes. American Chinese food is typically sweeter and heavier than traditional Chinese food. Traditional Chinese cuisine uses vegetables as a main ingredient. But in American Chinese food, vegetables are considered to be a side dish(配菜).
The American Chinese takeout meal may also come with fortune (幸运) cookies. These are thin, hollow cookies that have a small piece of paper inside. Your “fortune” is written on the paper, along with your “lucky numbers”. You’ll never get these cookies when eating takeout in China.
Of course, I enjoy authentic (正宗的) Chinese food very much. But there is something about American Chinese dishes, like General Tso’s chicken, Grab Wontons and chow mein, which I really miss. When I go home for holiday, my family is always surprised when I ask them to order American Chinese takeout. But to me, it is a special treat indeed.
1.What is the best title of the passage?
A.the Author’s Mother’s Cooking B.Traditional American Food
C.Americanized Chinese Food D.Traditional Chinese Food
2.What do we know from Paragraph 4?
A.Many Chinese moved to the US in the early 20th century.
B.Chinese living in the US changed their taste in food.
C.American Chinese food is different from traditional Chinese food.
D.Vegetables are the main ingredient in American Chinese food.
3.The author mentioned fortune cookies because ______.
A.he likes American Chinese takeout
B.people always get free cookies in the US
C.they are the most popular dessert in the US
D.they are typical American Chinese food
4.What can we infer from the passage?
A.American Chinese food is not popular in the US.
B.The author doesn’t like authentic Chinese food.
C.The author prefers American food to Chinese food.
D.Chow mein is also cooked differently in the US.
