He didnt know who his father was. The woman did some washing for the rich and could buy only some bread for her son. So the boy was short and thin. One cold morning there was much snow in the streets. A car knocked the woman down and the policemen took her to the hospital. She didnt tell John that his father deserted(遗弃) her before he was born until she died. She left her son the name and address of his father. John found his father, Mr. Brown, in another city. He was one of the richest shopkeepers and he had to receive his son. From then on the boy lived a rich life. He ate all kinds of delicious food and wore beautiful clothes. But he didnt go to school and could not read or write. Once his father took him to a party. He saw a newspaper lying on the floor and picked it up while others were talking about a film. He had a look at it and found a cars wheels(轮子) were upward(向上).He called out,“ Oh, dear! An accident happened!” All the people were surprised and began to read the newspaper. But soon they all began to laugh. Do you know why?1.John didnt know his father because .A. the man was rich B. the man deserted his motherC. his mother left the man D. the man didnt like him2.John was short and thin because .A.he didnt like sports B. his parents were short, tooC.he was often hungry when he was young D. his mother never gave him food3.The woman told John who his father was .A. after she was knocked down by a car B. before her son leftC. before she was in hospital D. before she died4.After John found his father, .A.he was angry with the man B. he started a rich lifeC.he wouldnt live with him D. the man was bad to him5.The people at the party laughed at him because .A. he held the newspaper upside down B. he wasnt politeC. the newspaper was yesterdays D. he wasnt clever (B) People have sailed(航行) around the world in quite small boats. It is not an easy thing to do. Sometimes the weather gets bad. That can be the end of everyone in it. Accidents can happen easily and quickly. One family once had an accident with some big fish. The fish swam under their boat and bit(咬) holes in it. Sea water came in, of course, and the boat soon sank(沉没). However, these people had another smaller boata lifeboat, and they all got into that. They lived and hoped for many days. They ate and slept, and always hoped. At last a ship found them. How do people live in a very small lifeboat? Perhaps for weeks or months? They must be strong in every way. They must have hope and they want to live. But you cannot eat and drink hope. You cannot drink seawater. Drink a lot of seawater and you will quickly die. Sailors(海员) can drink rain water. They must catch rainwater in their boat. They must also catch fish and birds for food. Lifeboat does not carry a cooker(炊具) so the sailors cannot cook their food. Raw fish(生鱼)and bird-meat is not very nice. But there is no other choice in a lifeboat! The sailors must eat raw food, or they will die.6.When sailors boat sinks, their lifeboat gives them . A. food B. beds C. rainwater D. hope7.One family once had an accident at sea, because .
