I was in the store with Mom and baby Lucy. I was looking at the pictures in a pattern(图案) book, trying to choose what to wear for Halloween.

I wanted to be a princess(公主) but I didn’t get a chance to ask Mom to help me find that page. She was busy. All the women were around Lucy’s pushchair. Mom wasn’t even looking at me. Then Lucy cried(哭) and Mom asked me, “Mary, do you make up your mind?”

I looked down at the book and saw a picture of a kid in a banana costume(服装). I pointed at the “banana”. Mom bought me the banana pattern and a pea-pod pattern for Lucy. When Mom finished making my costume, I knew I had made a mistake. “If I wear the big banana costume to the Halloween party, everyone will laugh at me,” I thought.

When we finally walked to the party, everyone smiled at cute baby Lucy who was on my mother’s back. And when they saw my costume, they smiled, too. Some of them told me I was cute. I guessed people liked bananas. I learned that it didn’t make me upset when people laughed. They thought I was funny in a good way. And guess what! There were three princesses and I was the only “banana” at the party.

It was a Monday morning and, as always Katrina and her mom got in the car at 6：35 to drive to the ferry(渡船) at Lyness. When they got there half an hour later, the ferry was just arriving.

“Dad's coming to get you on Friday, Katrina，” her mother said, “have a good week.”

At a quarter to eight the ferry arrived in Houton on Mainland. Katrina waited there with the other kids for the school bus which took them to Kirkwall Grandma School. The same as every Monday morning.

But this Monday was different. A researcher was coming to interview some students for a TV documentary about the school. So at 10 o'clock Katrina was waiting outside the researcher's room for her interview.

The door opened and Fiona came out. Fiona was one of the “Beauties”， the name for a group of trendy girls in her class. Katrina went in and closed the door.

“Hello，” said the woman at the desk. She smiled and pointed to an empty chair. The film researcher's last name was Jane and she already knew who Katrina was and where she lived.

“I see you're from Hoy, Katrina.”

“Aye, that's right，” Katrina answered.

“Why don't you go to school on Hoy？”

“Och, the school on Hoy only goes to Secondary 2，” Katrina explained. “So I've been coming here to Kirkwall since last year.”

“I see. Do you come by ferry every day then？” Jane asked.

“No, I can't do that，” Katrina told her. “It takes too long. I have to live in the hostel from Monday to Friday.”

Jane was surprised. “Ah, that's interesting. The school has a　 hostel？”

“Aye，” Katrina told her. “The students from the other islands live in the hostel on weekdays. I come over from Hoy early on Monday morning and I go home after school on Friday.”

1.Which is the right route(路线) for Katrina to go to school?

A. Lyness­Houton­Kirkwall­Hoy　　 B. Lyness­Hoy­Houton­Kirkwall

C. Hoy­Lyness­Houton­Kirkwall　　 D. Hoy­Houton­Kirkwall­Lyness

2.Why was the Monday different for Katrina?

A. Because Katrina's mother drove her to the ferry.

B. Because Katrina first took the ferry to school.

C. Because Katrina would take part in an interview.

D. Because Katrina was unhappy to leave home.

3.Which one is TRUE about Katrina?

A. She is now in Secondary 2.　　 B. Her mother is a film researcher.

C. She is one of the “Beauties”.　　 D. Her home is far from the school.

4.What does the underlined word “hostel” refer to?
