It took place at the Biltmore Hotel, which, to my eight-year-old mind, was just about the fancies place to eat. My 31 , my mother, and I were having lunch after a morning spent shopping. I ordered a Salisbury steak. When brought to the table, it was 32 by a plate of peas. I do not like peas now. I did not like peas then. I have always hated peas. And I 33 was not about to eat them now. "Eat your peas," my grandmother said. 
  "Mother," said my mother in her 34 voice. "He doesn't like peas. Leave him alone." 
  My grandmother did not reply. She 35 in my direction, looked at me in the eye, and said the 36 words that changed my life: "I'll pay you five dollars if you eat those peas." 
  I had absolutely no idea of the coming 37 . I only knew that five dollars was an enormous, nearly 38 amount of money, and as awful as peas were, only one plate of them stood between me and the 39 of that five dollars. I began to force the terrible things down my 40 . 
  My mother was very angry. My grandmother had that 41 look of someone who has thrown down an unbeatable trump card（王牌）. "I can do what I want, Ellen, and you can't stop me." My mother glared at her mother. She glared at me.
  I, of course, kept shoving peas down my throat. The 42 made me nervous, and every single pea made me want to throw up, but the magical image of that five dollars 43 before me, and I finally swallowed down every last one of them. My grandmother handed me the five dollars in a(n) 44 way. My mother continued to glare in silence. And the 45 ended. Or so I thought. 
  My grandmother left for Aunt Lillian's a few weeks later. That night, at dinner, my mother served my favorite foods. Along with them came a big, steaming bowl of peas. She offered me some peas, and I certainly 46 . My mother fixed me with a cold 47 as she put a huge pile of peas onto my plate. Then came the words that were to 48 me for years. 
  "You ate them for 49 ," she said. "You can eat them for love." 
  What possible argument could I gather against that? There was none. I ate them that day and every other time they were 50 thereafter.

第三部分：阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)

A
Dear Reader:
I receive many letters from children and can’t answer them all—there wouldn’t be time enough in a day. That is why I am sending you this printed reply to your letter. I’ll try to answer some of the questions that are commonly asked.
Where did I get the idea for Stuart Little and for Charlotte’s Web? Well, many years ago I went to bed one night in a railway sleeping car, and during the night I dreamed about a tiny boy who acted rather like a mouse. That’s how the story of Stuart Little got started.
As for Charlotte’s Web, I like animals and my barn（谷仓）is a very pleasant place to be, at all hours. One day when I was on my way to feed the pig, I began feeling sorry for the pig because, like most pigs, he was doomed to die. This made me sad. So I started thinking of ways to save a pig’s life. I had been watching a big grey spider at her work and was impressed by how clever she was at weaving. Gradually I worked the spider into the story that you know, a story of friendship and salvation（拯救）on a farm. Three years after I started writing it, it was published. (I am not a fast worker, as you can see.)
Sometimes I’m asked how old I was when I started to write, and what made me want to write. I started early—as soon as I could spell. In fact, I can’t remember any time in my life when I wasn’t busy writing. I don’t know what caused me to do it, or why I enjoyed it, but I think children often find pleasure and satisfaction in trying to set their thoughts down on paper, either in words or in pictures. I was no good at drawing, so I used words instead. As I grew older, I found that writing can be a way of earning a living.
Some of my readers want me to visit their school. Some want me to send a picture, or an autograph, or a book. And some ask questions about my family and my animals and my pets. Much as I’d like to, I can’t go visiting. I can’t send books, either—you can find them in a bookstore or a library. Many children assume that a writer owns (or even makes) his own books. This is not true—books are made by the publisher. If a writer wants a copy, he must buy it. That’s why I can’t send books. And I do not send signatures—I leave that to the movie stars. I live most of the year in the country, in New England. From our windows we can look out at the sea and the mountains. I live near my married son and three grandchildren.
Are my stories true, you ask? No, they are imaginary tales, containing fantastic characters and events. In real life, a family doesn’t have a child who looks like a mouse; in real life, a spider doesn’t spin words in her web. In real life, a swan doesn’t blow a trumpet. But real life is only one kind of life—there is also the life of the imagination. And although my stories are imaginary, I like to think that there is some truth in them, too—truth about the way people and animals feel and think and act.
Yours sincerely：E.B. White

Three Japanese tourists taking a holiday in Australia got stuck when their GPS told them they could drive from the mainland to an island, failing to mention the 15 kilometres of water and mud in between.
As they drove their hired car from Moreton Bay in Queensland to nearby North Stradbroke Island, they started to notice the firm gravel（沙石）surface they were driving on giving way to the renowned bay mud. However, being confident that their GPS would direct them to a road soon, they decided to plough on, managing to travel around 500 metres before their Hyundai Getz（现代汽车）was up to its axles tires in mud. To make matters worse, the tide started to come in and soon forced them to seek help and abandon the vehicle. Just four hours later the car was trapped in two metres of water —— to the great amusement of onlookers on the shore and passengers on passing boats and ferries.
Yuzu Noda, 21, said she was listening to the GPS and “it told us we could drive down there. It kept saying it would navigate us to a road. But we got stuck…there’s lots of mud.” She and her travel companions Tomonari Saeki, 22, and Keita Osada, 21, instead had to give up their plans for a day trip to the island and headed back to the Gold Coast of a lift from the RACQ tow truck（吊车）driver who was called to the trapped car. No such luck for the hired car though – after assessing the situation, no attempt was made to recover it. The students from Tokyo, who are due to return home tomorrow, said the experience would not put them off returning to Australia for another visit. “We want to come back to Australia again. Everyone is very nice, even today.” Ms Yuzu said.
Remaining excited, Mr. Tom
