Stanley is one of the oldest villages in Hong Kong. Even a hundred and fifty years ago it was a large fishing-village. People called it Chik Chu. The village has changed a lot since the arrival of the British in 1841. When the British sailors came in that year, they began to call the village Standley. Lord Standley was a famous Englishman at that time. English people have called it Standley since then. Chik Chu was a good place for fishing boats. Many fishermen kept their junks(大帆船) at Chik Chu and others made homes there. Because there were many caves near Chik Chu, pirates(海盜) lived there, too.

The name of the most famous of all the pirates was Cheung Pao Tsai. He lived in Chik Chu nearly two hundred years ago and he had over six hundred ships and eighty thousand men. Cheung Pao Tsai was brave, but he was also very cruel. He captured many rich people. He wanted their friends to pay him a lot of money. If they did not do so, he took his prisoners to a high rock in Standley Bay. He made them jump into the sea from this rock. Today you can see the Hwai Jen Shih rock at Standley.

When it comes to hard, noisy traveling, we’ve found that sometimes we’d rather read about it than actually go. Here are some bestsellers for armchair travelers.
The Station by Robert Byron. In 1928, the 22-year-old man made a journey to Mount Athos, resulting in one of the best travel books ever written, matched only by Byron’s own, much more famous The Road to Osciana.
In Darkest Africa by Henry Monton Stanley. It’s about his great efforts to save an unlucky German doctor Eduard Schnitzer, who had no desire to be rescued at all.
A Traveler’s Alphabet: Partial Memoirs by Sir Steven Runciman. A to Z and around the world. He provides priceless information of long-gone princesses, priests, and places.
South: A Memoir of the Endurance Voyage by Sir Ernest Shackleton. As the planet started the global war, Shackleton and his brave group of explorers made an unsuccessful but heroic journey to cross Antarctica from 1914 to 1917.
The Michelin Red Guide: France 2005 Reading through this final listing of all the nice hotels and wonderful restaurants in France is better than going there, listening to Chirac talk about the poisonous American culture, and spending the price of this book for a tiny cup of tea and a cookie the size of your thumb.

“The Lord of the Rings”, one of the best sellers in the new millennium(千年), was made up of three parts—“The Fellow Ship of the Ring”, “Two Towers”, and “The Return of the King”. Millions upon millions of people have read it in over 25 different languages, but fewer know about the author and the history of the composition of the creative masterwork.
John Ronald Refuel Tolkien was born in South Africa in 1892. His parents died when he was a child. Living in England with his aunt, Tolkien and his cousins made up play languages, a hobby that led to Tolkien’s becoming skilled in Welsh, Greek, Gothic, Old Norse and Anglo—Saxon.
After graduating from Oxford, Tolkien served in World War I. In 1917, while recovering from trench fever he began composing the mythology for The Rings. As a professor of Anglo-Saxon in the 1930s at Oxford, Tolkien was part of an informal discussion group called the Inklings, which included several writers. The group was soon 1istening to chapters of Tolkien’s imaginative work “The Hobbit”.
Hobbit was a name Tolkien created for people that could best be described as half-sized members of the English rural(鄉(xiāng)村的)class. Hobbits live in hillside holes. One of them，Bilbo Baggins, looks for treasures with a group of dwarves(侏儒). On the way, he meets the twisted, pitiful creature Gollum, from whom he sees a golden ring that makes the holder invisible.
One of Tolkien’s students persuaded her employer, publisher Allen & Unwind, to look at a draft (草稿). The chairman of the firm, Stanley Unwind, thought that the best judge for a Children’s book would be his ten-year-old son. The boy earned a shilling for reporting back that the adventure was exciting, and “The Hobbit” was published in 1937.
It sold so well that Unwind asked for a continuation. Over a dozen years later, in 1954, Tolkien produced “The Lord of the Rings”, a series of books so creative that they hold readers both new and old -- after their publication.
【小題1】What can we learn from the text?

A．“The Lord of the Rings” didn't sell well in the last millennium.
B．People know better about Tolkien himself than about his works.
C．Tolkien was quite familiar with Old English.
D．Tolkien knew very well about different kinds of local languages in Africa.
【小題2】What can we learn about "Hobbit" that Tolkien created in his works?
A．Hobbit was a race living in English downtown areas.
B．Hobbit was a local people who were very tall and strong.
C．Hobbit was a social group of people who lived in old castles.
D．Hobbit was a group of people who were mostly dwarves.
【小題3】 Which of the following helped most in making “The Hobbit” published?
A．One of Tolkien's students. B．Stanley Unwind's son.
C．Allen & Unwind. D．Bilbo Baggins.
【小題4】What is mainly discussed in the text?
A．“The Lord of the Rings” and its writer.
B．A completely new masterwork in the new millennium.
C．A famous professor at Oxford University.
D．The power of the magic ring.
【小題5】 Which of the following shows the right order of Mr. Tolkien's life experience?
a. He had his “The Hobbit” published.
b. He became a member of the Inklings.
c. He served in World War I.
d. He became an undergraduate at Oxford.
e. His work “The Lord of the Rings” came to the world.
f. He moved to England to live with his aunt.
A．f-d-b-c-a-e B．f-d-c-b-a-e
C．f-c-d-b-e-a D．d-f-c-a-b-e
