A
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.
31. To survive, the writer did the following EXCEPT _______.
A. keeping goats for milk B. making clothes from animal skins
C. working in the cornfields D. going fishing in the sea
32. Why didn't the writer use his first canoe?
A. Because it was too small for a long journey.
B. Because it was too heavy to get down to the sea.
C. Because there was something wrong with it.
D. Because the writer was busy building a second house.
33. From the story, we can learn that _______.
A. the writer tried to make his stay comfortable on the island
B. the writer had nothing to do on the wild island
C. the writer tried to escape in the second canoe, but failed
D. the writer was in prison on the island, losing his freedom

The first chocolate was eaten by people in South America hundreds of years ago. In those days, the people did not really eat chocolate. They used the cocoa bean（可可豆）to make a chocolate drink and they enjoyed it very much. Many years later, the cocoa bean was brought to other countries and people came to love the taste of chocolate.
In 1824, John Cadbury opened a small shop in Britain. One of the things he sold was chocolate drink. In 1831, he opened a factory to make chocolate drink. He wanted to encourage people to drink chocolate instead of other drinks. A few years later, a man called Joseph Fry found a way to make chocolate instead of only drinking it. But at that time chocolate was very expensive and only the rich people could buy it. Later, more and more chocolate bars were produced and sold, it became cheaper.
However, at first only plain chocolate （a kind of chocolate without milk and with very little sugar）was produced. Milk chocolate came later and this was made by adding milk to the chocolate. The first milk chocolate bar was made in Cadbury’s factory in 1897. Their most famous chocolate, Cadbury’s Milk Bar, was made in 1905, It has been the most popular chocolate in Britain and around the world for over 100 years. The Cadbury factory is still in Britain and the chocolate produced there is eaten all over the world. Every year, thousands of visitors visit the factory in order to see how chocolate is made.

The size and shape（外形）of your ears show your character（性格）more than any other part of the face. Other parts of the face change shapes as we get older，but ears do not change their shapes. They only change in size.
Reading people’s character from their ears is a very old science. In the past people thought that a person’s ears with colour was dangerous. They also thought that the shape of the ears showed if a person was musical or not. Today，too，many people believe that the size and shape of the ears help you know if a person is musical.
Ears are all different，and each different thing has a meaning. Next time you look at a person，see if his or her ears are large，medium-size，or small. Look at the lobes（耳垂）.Do they stick to the face? Ears that are always red mean that a person may get angry easily. Ears that are always cold and nearly white colour mean that a person has a nervous（神经质）character.

Have you ever posted your photos on the Internet? Would you mind if people cut part of your photo, perhaps your face, and paste（粘贴）it into other photos as a joke? Most people would not like to be made fun of in this way. However, it is not uncommon for people to find such pictures of themselves on the Internet.
We are living in an age of information explosion. People work, play and communicate with others over the Internet. However, we must always bear in mind that some people may use others personal information for unpleasant purposes. A good example of this is what happened to a 25-year-old man.

However, after he sent his account(账户) number to the sender, he found that money was stolen out of his bank by online criminals.
This story warns us and reminds us never to tell strangers information such as our real names, parents names, telephone numbers or home addresses. Remember to remove any private information, like your photos, after using another person's computers. Also remember not to give out unnecessary but important information when filling in online forms. We need to learn to keep our private information safe. This is the key to protecting ourselves in a world where the Internet is becoming more and more important.

The word “day” has two meanings. When we talk about the number of days in a year, we are using “day” to mean 24 hours. But when we talk about day and night, we are using “day” to mean the time between sunrise and sunset. Since the earth looks like a ball, the sun can shine on only half of it at a time. Always one half of the earth is having day and the other half night. A place is moved from day into night and from nig
