When I was 8 years old, I decided to run away from home after a quarrel with my mother. With my suitcase(行李箱) packed and some sandwiches in a bag, I started for the front door.

My mom asked where I was going. “I’m leaving home,” I said.

“What’s that you’re carrying?” she asked.

“Some clothes and food,” I replied.

“If you want to run away, that’s all right,” she said. “But you came into this home without anything and you can leave the same way.”

I threw my suitcase and sandwiches on the floor and started for the door again.

“Wait a minute,” Mom said. “You didn’t have any clothes on when you arrived, and I want them back.”

“Yes,” my mom answered, “but once you close that door, don’t expect to come back.”

I was so angry that I shut the door forcefully and stepped out of my home. Then I noticed down the street two neighbor girls walking toward our house. I was so shy that I saw the big spruce (云杉) tree in our yard and jumped under the low-hanging branches (树枝). A pile of dried-up brown needles (针状物) were beneath the tree, and you can’t imagine the pain those sharp needles caused to my body.

After I was sure the girls had passed by, I ran to the front door and knocked at it loudly.

“It’s Billy! Let me in!”

The voice behind the door answered, “Billy doesn’t live here anymore. He ran away from home.”

Looking behind me to see if anyone else was coming down the street, I said, “Mom! I’m sorry. I’m still your son. Let me in!”

The door opened and Mom’s smiling face appeared. “Did you change your mind about running away?” she asked.

“What’s for supper?” I smiled back.

When I was five years old， my parents would have to pull me home from yet another painful English vacation． I still didn't want to leave． I want to be away from home． I wanted to go somewhere new and exciting． This became the theme of the next twenty years． I'd spend the whole year counting down to my next holiday， and then as soon as I left I'd begin to dread having to return home． Year after year．

Ten years ago， I decided to build a life that I didn't want to escape from． I knew I wanted to travel in the long term， but I didn't have a lot of money or savings， and there is no one paying for my adventures． For five years， I did three jobs while studying full-time at university． I didn't eat out and I didn't buy anything I didn't need． I even moved in with my parents． I was able to save ﹩16，000 over those five years，which was enough to keep me on the road for a couple of years．

But what if two years wouldn't be enough？ Before leaving， I began to spend my time in making plans that would allow me to work anywhere that had an Internet connection． At the time， I was studying for a master degree in physics． While studying， I came up with a list of my interests and skills and began researching into a way to do these anywhere． If I could make money from it and if I could do it online， then it was something worth going after．

I created a writing file that would help me to find free writing jobs． I researched English and physics teaching online， and built travel websites to earn income through sales and advertising． Most of these failed， but I didn't give up．

The work I do has changed over the years and it's still changing now． Now， I pay my traveling through several different things． I'm the Student Travel Expert for About．com， and a senior writer for Too Many Adapters， a travel technology website． In addition， I will have my first book published this summer． I also offer a travel planning service to help readers prepare for their travels abroad．

To reach this point， where I can cover my expenses and travel full-time， took many， many years of hard work． For me， the freedom makes it worth it． With everything set in place， finally my dreams came true．

Once when I was six years old I saw an amazing picture in a book called True Stories from Nature about the forest． It was a picture of a snake in the act of swallowing an animal． In the book it said： "Snakes swallow the whole animal without chewing（嚼）it． After that they are not able to move and they sleep through the six months that they need for digestion（消化）．"

I thought deeply then over the adventures of the forest． And after some work with a colored pencil I succeeded in making my first drawing． My Drawing Number One． I showed my work to the grown-ups and asked them whether the drawing frightened them． But they answered： "Frighten？ Why should anyone be frightened by a hat？"

My drawing was not a picture of a hat． It was a picture of a snake digesting an elephant． But since the grown-ups were not able to understand it， I made another drawing． I drew the inside of the snake so that the grown-ups could see it clearly． They always need to have things explained． That's my Drawing Number Two．

The grown-ups' answer this time was to advise me to lay aside my drawings of snakes whether from the inside or the outside and devote myself instead to geography， history， maths and grammar． That is why at the age of six I gave up what might have been a great painter． I had been discouraged by the failure of my Drawing Number One and my Drawing Number Two． Grown-ups never understand simple things by themselves and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them．

So then I chose another profession（职业）and learned to pilot airplanes． I have flown a little over all parts of the world； and it is true that geography has been very good for me． I can tell China from Arizona easily． If one gets lost in the night， such knowledge is valuable．

In my life I have had lots of chances to meet with a great many people． And that hasn't much improved my opinion of them． Whenever I met one of them who seemed to me at all clear-sighted， I tried showing him my Drawing Number One which 1have always kept． I would try to find out if this was a person of true understanding． But whoever it was， he or she would always say： That is a hat． Then I would never talk to that person about snakes or forests or stars． I would bring myself down to his level． I would talk to him about golf and politics and neckties． And the grown-up would be greatly pleased to have met such a wise man． For him I am a normal man．

1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？ ______

A. The writer wants to draw a hat in Drawing Number One．

B. The writer sees an elephant eaten by a snake in the forest．

C. Drawing Number Two shows the inside of the big snake．

D. The two drawings of the writer make people very scared．

2.Why do people tell the writer to study same subjects instead of drawing in Paragraph 4？ ______

A. Because those subjects are more useful and helpful．

B. Because those subjects are only about simple things．

C. Because his drawings are too difficult to understand．

D. Because his drawings are not good for people at all．

3.In Paragraph 6， why does the writer always keep his Drawing Number One？ ______

A. To show off his good drawing．

B. To know who truly understands life．

C. To make other people pleased．

D. To bring himself down to a low level．

4.The grown-up in the last paragraph thinks the writer is normal because the writer ______ ．

A. is good at drawing

B. flies a plane all over the world

C. talks about snakes or forests or stars

D. talks about sport， politics and clothing

5.The passage is most probably taken from ______ ．

A. a travel guide B. a science report

C. a news story D. a story book

When I was about 4 years old, I decided to go to Disney World. For most young kids, it’s a normal request, but I had cerebral palsy (脑瘫). Walking into anywhere, let alone a crowded place like Disney World was, to put it lightly, a tall order. Luckily, I had people in my corner to help me. Over the next three years, I worked with physical doctors, acquired a walker, and practiced walking, standing, and balance — all skills that I would need to turn my goal into a reality.

I remember the feeling when my legs would protest doing any more work. Despite this, everyone else told me I could do it, so I kept it up. It was all because of people like my parents, brothers, teachers, and doctors that I was able to grow so much, both physically and mentally. Constantly pushing me to “walk on,” yet encouraging me whenever I needed it.

On June 9, 2008, as I stood in the tunnel leading into Main Street, my dad asked me if I wanted any help. I instantly replied, “No!” and situated myself facing the end of the tunnel, feet planted firmly, heart most likely beating out of my chest. Then I went, walking ever so slowly at first, then gradually speeding up. Step, step, step, step, bump. Holding fast onto the handlebars, I gathered up all my strength, picked up my walker and straightened out, picking up my pace once again. It wasn’t too long before the cheering increased because I had made it to the end, where my mom was waiting with tears in her eyes and arms open wide ready to hug her son and tell him how proud she was.

Looking back on that experience, I realize something pretty thoughtful. Every once in a while, life will throw a few bumps in the road. Though it may set you back for a bit, don’t let it stop you. Pick yourself back up and finish. It’s worth it. Besides, there just might be someone there cheering you on along the way.

1.Which of the following best explains “a tall order” underlined in paragraph 1?

A.An easy decision. B.An available action.

C.A reasonable order. D.A challenging task.

2.Why does the author say he’s lucky?

A.He eventually has his brain disease well cured.

B.He constantly gets courage and support from others.

C.He is likely to do any kind of work in his later life.

D.He is naturally gifted in keeping balance on his own.

3.The author gives a vivid picture of himself in paragraph 3 to______.

A.explain he was terrified to take the first step

B.describe he took pride in his mother and friends

C.show how he managed to walk by himself

D.prove how he understood to respect others

4.What can be the best title of the text?

A.Where Dreams Come True B.When Bad Fortune Falls

C.How I Value Friendship D.Why I Look Back My Life

A 9-year-old boy n Indiana stopped a would-be carjacker(劫车贼)on Christmas Day from running away with his father’s truck.

Kevin Cooksey was inside the One Stop Express gas station in Kokomo buying medicine for his wife when a man jumped into the driver’s seat of his truck. Cooksey had left the engine running and the door unlocked.

“When I saw my truck door open, I was like, ‘Oh my God, what am I going to tell my wife?’” Cooksey said.

“I didn’t know what to think, I just kind of ran outside and watched him,” said Sparling.

As the man sped off, Cooksey told Sparling to get into his truck and the two men began to run after him.

After a few miles, the carjacker knocked into the sign of a local business, American Tool and Party Rental. Cooksey and Sparling called police to the place.

The police put 32-year-old Ollie Dunn into prison. Sparling’s car was damaged in the wheel, and the windscreen got cracked after the sign fell on it. “I was just glad he didn’t knock into anybody,” Sparling said. “That was my biggest fear, I think.”
