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.

⑤ The strong wind almost broke the ship into pieces.

My friends and I used to be a little afraid of the old house on the corner. It’s painted grey with plants almost as tall as the house. No one has lived there for years. Some of the older kids said a monster lived in the house.

One day when we were playing in the street, Sara hit the ball hard and it went towards the yard of the old house.

Sara was too scared to move. “Well,” I said. “Let’s go to get it.”

We jumped into the yard. I stayed near the wall, afraid to get close to the house. We searched and searched, but nothing turned up. All we found was rubbish of years. “We could,” said Mariana. “Er … we could go inside.”

The door of the house wasn’t locked. Half the windows were broken. Though it was light outside, it was dark inside. I felt foolish looking for a black ball in a completely dark room. Just then, we all heard a low, deep creak(咯吱声) coming from the ceiling above.

“The monster!” cried Sara. We all held our breath. Then we heard the footsteps getting closer and closer. It was growling(咆哮). And … barking?

“Huh?” said Mariana.

It was actually a big dog, smiling with the ball in his mouth.

“You’re no monster at all!” we said. Mariana took the dog home and named him Monster.

1.The old house on the corner looked _______ to the kids.

A.scary B.beautiful C.comfortable D.fascinating

2.What color is the ball the children played with?

A.Grey. B.Red. C.Black. D.Yellow.

3.Who helped the children find their ball in the end?

A.A stranger. B.A cat. C.A monster. D.A dog.

4.What can we know from the passage?

A.The children entered the old house with a special key.

B.The old house was completely dark inside in the daytime.

C.A dog, together with its owner, lived in the old house.

D.Mariana felt sorry for kicking the ball into the old house.

When I lived in Spain（西班牙）, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me to give them some advice about how to find accommodation（住所）. I suggested that they should stay at "bed and breakfast" houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends followed my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.

"We didn't stay at bed and breakfast houses, " they said, "because we found that most families were away on holiday."

I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought "VACANCIES" meant "holidays", because the Spanish word for

"holidays" is "vacaciones". So they did not go to houses where the sign outside said "VACANCIES”, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to houses where the sign said "NO VACANCIES", because they thought this meant the people who owned the houses were not away on vacation. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels

We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word "DIVERSION" means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word "DIVERSION" on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hole.

English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris, when someone offered me some more coffee, I said "Merci", which means "Thank you" in French. I meant that I would like some more. However, to my surprise, the coffee pot was taken away! Later

I found out that "Thank you" in French means "No, thank you."

1.The writer's Spanish friends wanted to know　　　 　before they went to England.

A.how to find a place to stay in

B.how to memorize English words

C.how to drive on English roads

D.how to behave at the dinner table.

2.According to the passage, which of the following is true about the writer's Spanish friends?　　　 　

A.They learned quite a lot of funny stories in England.

B.They had trouble understanding the English language.

C.Most of their families were also on vacation with them.

D.They found some strange signs on the streets in England.

3.In England, a house with the sign "NO VANCANCIES" outside means　　　 　.

A.its owner isn't away on holiday

B.an accident has happened in it

C.none of its rooms are available

D.there are some free rooms in it

4.If you see the road sign "DIVERTION" in England,　　　 　.

A.you can go ahead and enjoy yourself

B.you must stop to repair the road ahead

C.you will find a large hole in the road

D.you are supposed to take another road

5.In the last paragraph, the writer mainly talks about　　　 　.

A.one of his experiences in France

B.the value of learning foreign languages

C.the meaning of　 "No,　 Thank you."

D.the location of the capital city of France
