项明显是错误的。\n13DuringallthistimeIneverstoppedthinkingaboutescape.WhenItraveledacrosstotheothersideoftheisland,Icouldseetheotherislands,andIsaidtomyself,“PerhapsIcangettherewithaboat.PerhapsIcangetbacktoEnglandoneday.”　　SoIdecidedtomakemyselfaboat.Icutdownabigtree,andthenbegantomakealongholeinit.Itwashardwork,butaboutsixmonthslater,Ihadaveryfinecanoe(独木舟).Next,Ihadtogetitdowntothesea.HowsillyIwas!Whydidn'tIthinkbeforeIbeganwork?Ofcourse,thecanoewastooheavy.Icouldn'tmoveit!Ipulledandpushedandtriedeverything,butitdidn'tmove.Iwasveryunhappyforalongtimeafterthat.　　Thathappenedinmyfourthyearontheisland.InmysixthyearIdidmakemyselfasmallercanoe,butIdidnottrytoescapeinit.Theboatwastoosmallforalongjourney,andIdidnotwanttodieatsea.Theislandwasmyhomenow,notmyprison,andIwasjusthappytobealive.Ayearortwolater,Imademyselfasecondcanoeontheothersideoftheisland.Ialsobuiltmyselfasecondhousethere,andsoIhadtwohomes.　　Mylifewasstillbusyfrommorningtonight.Therewerealwaysthingstodoortomake.Ilearnttomakenewclothesformyselffromtheskinsofdeadanimals.Theylookedverystrange,itistrue,buttheykeptmedryintherain.　　Ikeptfoodandtoolsatbothmyhouses,andalsowildgoats.Thereweremanygoatsontheisland,andImadefieldswithhighfencestokeepthemin.Theylearnttotakefoodfromme,andsoonIhadgoats'milktodrinkeveryday.Ialsoworkedhardinmycorn(玉米)fields.Andsomanyyearswentby.　　1.Thepurposeofmakingacanoeontheislandwasto_____________.　　A.escapeinitB.gettotheothersideoftheisland　　C.useitforfoodD.goaroundtheisland　　2.Tosurvive,thewriterdidthefollowingEXCEPT_____________.　　A.keepinggoatsformilkB.makingclothesfromanimalskins　　C.workinginthecornfieldsD.goingfishinginthesea　　3.Whydidn'tthewriterusehisfirstcanoe?　　A.Becauseitwastoosmallforalongjourney.　　B.Becauseitwastooheavytogetdowntothesea.　　C.Becausetherewassomethingwrongwithit.　　D.Becausethewriterwasbusybuildingasecondhouse.　　4.Fromthestory,wecanlearnthat_____________.　　A.thewritertriedtomakehisstaycomfortableontheisland\n　　B.thewriterhadnothingtodoonthewildisland　　C.thewritertriedtoescapeinthesecondcanoe,butfailed　　D.thewriterwasinprisonontheisland,losinghisfreedom　　5.Whatisthebestwordtodescribethewriter?　　A.excitedB.braveC.adventurousD.hard-working　　阅读理解答案：ADBAC14　MyproblemsstartedafterIwenttoaboardingschool.Iwasonly14,andatfirstImissedmyfamilyalot.Ioftencalledthemandcriedonthephone.Butaftertwoweeks,IfoundIenjoyedbeingwithmyclassmatesatschool.　　Ihadmanyfriendswhowereboys.Ithoughtofthemasmybestfriends-butonlyfriends.Ineverguessedmyfriendshipswithboyswouldbecomeaproblem.　　Then,threemonthslater,myfriendstoldmethatsometeachersandgirlssaidIwashangingoutwithboysalldaylonginordertogetattentionfromthem.Sevenmonthsafterthat,theheadteacherMr.WangaskedtheclasstochoosesomestudentstojointheStudentUnion.IthoughtIcouldwinforIwasdoingwellinschool.I'dalreadywonprizesforthebestmathandEnglishexams.Aweeklater,thelistcameoutanditdidn'tincludeme.Iwassad.　　Mr.Wangcametomeandsaid,“Don'tbesad.Iknowyou'reexcellent!Maybeyou'realittledistantfromthegirlsinourclass.Theydon'tknowmuchaboutyou,sosomeofthemdidn'tchooseyou.Itdoesn'tmatter.DoyourbesttogetalongwellwitheveryoneandIthinkyou'llmakeitnexttime.”　　1.Whatwasthewriter'sproblemwhenshefirstenteredtheboardingschool?　　A.Shedidn'tlikehernewschool.　　B.Shedidn'tgetalongwellwithherclassmates.　　C.Shemissedherfamilyverymuch.　　D.Shedidn'tlikehernewteacher.　　2.Manyofthewriter'sfriendsinhernewschoolwere_______.　　A.teachersB.boysC.girlsD.women　　3.WhydidthewriterfailtojointheStudentUnion?　　A.Herteachersdidn'tlikeher.　　B.Shewasapoorstudent.　　C.Somegirlsdidn'tchooseher.\n　　D.Shelikesshowingoffherself.　　4.Theunderlinedword"distant"means“______”inEnglish.　　A.estrangedB.aggressiveC.warm-heartedD.rude　　5.WhichofthefollowingisNOTtrue,accordingtothepassage?　　A.ThewriterwonprizesforthebestscienceandEnglishexams.　　B.Thewriterdidn'trealizethatherfriendshipswithboyswouldcauseproblems.　　C.ThewriterwassadbecauseshefailedtojointheStudentUnion.　　D.Theteacherthoughtshewasanexcellentstudent.　　阅读理解答案：　　1.C2.B3.C4.A5.A15　Wanttostayawayfromcolds?Putonahappyface.　　Comparedtounhappypeople,thosewhoarecheerfulandrelaxedarelesslikelytosufferfromcolds,accordingtoanewstudy.It'spossiblethatbeinghappyhelpsthebodyfightillnesses,saytheresearchersfromNewYorkUniversity.　　“Itseemsthatpositivefeelingsmayreducethedangerofillness,"”saidthestudy'schiefresearcherSheldonCohen.　　Inanearlierstudy,Cohenfoundthatpeoplewhowerecheerfulandlivelycaughtcoughsandcoldslessoften.Peoplewhoshowedfeelingswerealsolesslikelytotelltheirdoctorsthattheyfeltill.　　Inthisstudy,Cohen'sinterviewed193adultseverydayfortwoweeks.Duringtheinterviews,thepeopletoldresearchersaboutweregivencoldsbydoctorsandhadtostayaloneinaroomforsixdays.　　Theresultsshowedthateveryoneinthestudywasequallylikelytogetill.Buyforpeoplewhosaidtheyfelthappyduringtheresearchperiod,theirillnessarelessseriousandlastedforashortertime.　　Cohenbelievesthatwhenpeopleexperiencepositivefeelings,theirbodymayproduceachemicalthathelpsfightillnessanddisease.Soifyouareworriedabutyourhealth,lookonthebrightsidemoreoften.　　1.Whi
