Being on the road at 3:15 am to drive 450 kilometers wasn't in my plans for the weekend. I had been looking forward to a few     days to prepare myself for the following busy     .
My son, Simon, and his good friends were heading for the snowfield. I     my car to make sure that everyone could get to the drop-off point so that they could get together and enjoy their week's     by snowboarding and skiing.
The only thing that l was thinking of on my journey was that as soon as I     and said goodbye,1 would make the trip      ,in total, a round trip of 900 kilometers in just 10 hours. Such a long drive in one day was frightening, particularly as I was looking forward to relaxation.
Simon and I talked, on our way, a little about his break and a whole lot of his school subjects. It was great to have this time with him as we      spent five continuous hours together.
On my return trip, I     a strange sense of loneliness in some heavy morning fog. Within an hour it cleared. I spent the next four hours listening to some CDs and enjoying the scenery. Surprisingly, after my long trip home l was     refreshed（恢復精神）and energized even though 1 was physically tired. And I knew that l would have a good sleep that evening.
A change in your environment, no matter how great, can provide you with the chance to look at something from different ways, as well as to be refreshed and energized. Now I'm looking forward to my next       event and many more chances to spend quality time with those who are important to me and make my life more rewarding.

We were doing the best to control the fire of the burning garage (車庫). Outside, I heard the sounds of cats crying. I couldn’t stop—I would have to look for the cats after the fire was put out.
It took a long time to finally bring the big fire under control. No one inside was hurt. At that point I was free to find out where the cat noises were from. There was still a lot of smoke and heat coming from the building. I followed the meowing to the sidewalk in front of the garage. There, crying and huddled (擠作一團) together, were five frightened kittens (小貓). They must have been inside the building, as their fur was badly hurt.
I wanted to find the mother cat. It was clear that she had gone into the burning garage and carried out all her babies, one by one—unbelievable.
We finally found her. Her paws and face were blackened, and her fur was burned all over. You could even see her reddened skin under the burned fur. She could hardly move. I picked her up, and she relaxed in my arms as much as her pain would allow. I decided to save this brave little cat and her family.
The vet told me they would watch the kittens and their mother for the night, but they weren’t confident about the mother’s chances.
About a week later, I found out she was going to live. We named her Scarlet because of her reddened skin.
I was happy to see Scarlet get together with the kittens again. She touched each of them, nose to nose. She had been in danger for five times and it had paid off. All of her babies had survived.
As a fireman, I see heroic acts every day. But what Scarlet showed me that day was the kind of bravery that can only come from a mother’s love.
小題1:Which of the following is TRUE according to the story?
A．The writer went to look for the cats as soon as he heard them crying.
B．The firefighters put out the fire quickly and no one was hurt.
C．The writer didn’t find the cats until the smoke and heat were gone.
D．The mother cat moved all her babies out of the fire to a safe place.
小題2:Why did the writer decide to save the cats?
A．Because he was amazed at the mother cat’s courage.
B．Because the cats attracted many people’s attention.
C．Because he didn’t want to see any living things die.
D．Because it had taken him much time and effort to save them.
小題3:The writer talks about the cat’s story to show that ________________.
A．a(chǎn)nimals should be taken good care of
B．mother’s love can be great and brave

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 (獨木舟). 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.
小題1:The purpose of making a canoe on the island was to _____________.
A．escape in it
B．get to the other side of the island
C．use it for food
D．go around the island
小題2:To survive, the writer _____________.
A．kept goats for milk
B．made clothes from animal skins
C．worked in the cornfields
D．did all the above
小題3: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.
小題4: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
