When Amy wrote her first novel in secondary school, she never imagined that she would become a writer one day. Like many 1 writers on the Internet, the 2 woman got into this online world accidentally (偶然地). Three years ago, Amy worked in a medical industry. Her job kept her busy for six months and left her almost 3 to do for the rest of the year. To fill the time, she started writing 4 on the Internet. Her first novel was about her neighbors and their life 5 she is familiar with. Amy has been interested in writing 6 she was a child. At first, she just wanted to share her novels 7 people she knew. Then one day an editor of a famous website emailed her, asking her 8 she would like to sell the electronic copyright (授权) of one of her novels. She 9 immediately and the novel was moved to the VIP section of the website. She got $ 1,500 for that. Now Amy is a full-time 10 . So far her eight novels have come out online, and five of them 11 . "The Internet made me famous and brought me 12 ," she said. "I earn much more money now- about $60,000 a year. I am 13 with my career, but there is one problem-that my talent might run out after five years and I"ll have to 14 to work in the medical industry." "Before that day comes, I"ll keep 15 for the readers with my light and close-to-everyday-life writing style," said Amy with a smile. |

阅读理解。 | Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the nine o"clock Mystery Hour. Today we"ll show you two British stories. We hope you"ll enjoy them. About 900 years ago two green children arrived in a small village in south England. Their eyes and skin were green and they spoke a strange language. They were very tired and weak, so the people of the village looked after them. The boy died a year later, but the girl grew strong and lived the rest of her life there. And her skin colour turned back to normal day by day. Scientists say that sometimes of people don"t have enough food to eat for a long time, their skin goes very pale and can even turn green. Loch Ness is the largest lake in Scotland. It"s a very deep and cold lake. For hundreds of years, people have talked about a monster (怪物) called Nessie which lives in the lake. About seventy years ago, two people saw something moving in the lake. They said that the animal was playing and rolling around in the water. Since then many people say they have seen the monster. Their descriptions are always the same. It looks like a dinosaur, with a very long neck and a small head. It has a big bump (包,肿块) on its back. People have tried to photograph the animal, but the pictures have not been very clear. Scientists don"t know whether there is a monster or not. Some say it may be a whale or a very large fish. Some think it"s a snake. Others say there"s nothing at all- nothing but people"s imagination. Maybe we"ll never know what"s in Loch Ness. | 1. What kind of story is talked about in this programme? | A. Romantic stories. B. Mysteries. C. Horror stories. D. Comedies. | 2. Which sentence is TRUE about the two green children? | A. They both enjoyed a long and happy life. B. The girl"s eyes and skin were green all her life. C. At first they spoke the same language as people in the small village did. D. Maybe they hadn"t eaten enough for long before they reached the village. | 3. What does Nessie look like according to some witnesses? | | 4. What can we learn from the second story? | A. Scientists are still not sure whether there is a monster or not in Loch Ness. B. Loch Ness is very deep and warm lake in Scotland. C. People have taken very clear pictures of Nessie. D. In fact Nessie is a whale or a snake. | 完形填空。 | Mark was walking home from school one day when he noticed a boy ahead of him had dropped all of the books he was carrying.

| 阅读理解。 | I love it at night. It"s peaceful. And when it cools down I sometimes do some ironing. I don"t really care for it. I work full-time and I am too busy for most housework. I remember the old woman who taught me to iron. I was about 15 and I had to get a job taking care of a woman to make a living. She had been an able-bodied, healthy woman until the accident that caused her to be paralyzed. The woman sat in an electric wheelchair all day. She could only move her head and arms. She would tell me how to do things. She would teach me in great detail on the correct ways to do things. Her home was perfect and beautiful. She would follow me around in her electric wheelchair to make sure I did everything exactly right. I"m sure she had been a perfect homemaker. She would have me fold (折叠) everything, including socks. I would complain silently and wish terrible things on her. She taught me the right way to make the bed. I know sometimes she"d get frustrated (沮丧) and impatient with me. I knew she wanted to do it herself. But she never shouted or scolded. She only insisted I do it right. I didn"t like it much, but I did it. Today I can iron pretty well. I know where to start on a shirt and the right way to do the trousers. Now when I think about it, I don"t think she is an old lady. I think she might have been about my age now. Anyway, when I iron, I think of her and silently thank her for all the things I learned. | 1.

She knows the feeling because she has been in hospital many times herself. One day, she thought of an idea-if patients could get some books to read, they would feel better. So, from May, she and many of her friends began to collect books for hospital patients. In six months the students collected 1,250 books at school. They decided to donate the books to the North Shore Medical Centre, a children"s hospital next door to their school. "There are books for kids of all ages, from babies up to high school level." said Jenny. The students put the books into "early readers", "middle readers" and "advanced readers". Then they wrote their best wishes to patients on bookmarks (书签) and letters, put the books in big boxes and donated them to the hospital. " We wrote things like, "Keep on reading!" and "Hope you feel better!"," said John, 14, Jenny"s brother. "And we also wrote some funny things to make them laugh." Frank, 12, and Steven, 14, helped carry 16 large boxes of books into a car. "I think these books will make a lot of patients feel happy." said Frank. Steven shared his opinion.
