I was an unsatisfactory student, for my heart, as you might have guessed, was not in it. I wanted, I had always wanted to be a writer, and in the evening, after my high tea, I wrote and read. Before long, I wrote a novel, called Liza of Lambeth, which I sent to a publisher and was accepted. It appeared during my last year at the hospital and had something of a success. It was of course an accident, but naturally I did not know that. I felt I could afford to give up medicine and make writing my profession; so, three days after I graduated from the school of medicine, I set out for Spain to write another book. Looking back now and knowing as I do the terrible difficulties of making a living by writing, I realize I was taking a fearful risk. It never even occurred to me.The next ten years were very hard, and I earned an average of 100 a year. Then I had a bit of luck. The manager of the Court Theatre put on a play that failed; the next play he arranged to put on was not ready, and he was at his wits end. He read a play of mine and, though he did not much like it, he thought it might just run for the six weeks till the play he had in mind to follow it with could be produced. It ran for fifteen months. Within a short while I had four plays running in London at the same time. Nothing of the kind had ever happened before. I was the talk of the town. One of the students at St Thomass Hospital asked the famous surgeon with whom I had worked whether he remembered me. Yes, I remember him quite well, he said. One of our failures, Im afraid.（1）Which of the following statements is not true? A . The author was very pleased to have his book published but he didnt realize it was something of an accident.B .

The author became a writer after graduation but was not a successful one.（2）In the second paragraph, he was at his wits end means _. A . he was having a nervous breakdownB . he was out of his wisdomC . he did not know what to doD . he almost went mad（3）The manager of the Court Theatre agreed to put the authors play on the stage because _. A . he thought it would run for fifteen monthsB . he knew it was one of the authors best plays shown in LondonC . he had just put on a play that failedD . the play he had arranged to put on was not ready（4）The author became the talk of the town.

The band has five members. They are Jack Berry, Ollie Gray, Harrison Paparatto, Austin Siegel and Evan Tucker. The five teens are making music from waste. The Garbage-Men bands instruments are made from recycled things. The guitars are boxes. A horn(号) is made from pipes. The keyboard is formed from old bottles.The band started about two years ago. Jack Berry who was in eighth grade at the time decided to make a playable, home-made guitar. After some trial-and-error(反复试验), he ended up building it from a cereal box, a yardstick and toothpicks. After Jack showed his creation to his friend Ollie Gray, Ollie had the idea to form a band using other home-made instruments as a way to improve recycling. “We want to show people there is more to recycling than throwing things away in the bin.” Jack, 16, told TFK. “You can actually reuse materials.”Last year, the Garbage-Men played at local events, including festivals, farmers markets. Typically， the teens set up on the street and performed popular songs from the 1960s， including classic Beatles and crowd favorite “Wipe Out”. They talked about recycling and offered tips for how to improve the environment. While they were performing, Jacks little brother Trent, 11, gave out leaflets about recycling and helped sell the bands CDs and other musical products.The band donated the money from sales to charity. They have raised more than $2,500 for Heifer International. The organization gives farm animals, seeds and agricultural training to people in poor countries to help end poverty and hunger. “Its a good, sustainable-development (持续发展的)charity,” Jack says, “By donating one animal, you help the whole community.”The band, all tenth graders, tries to play a show every week. Theyve also played on a Florida radio station. The teens hope to take their shows on the road by touring in other states. “Music is a really good way to get a good message across to people because its really close.” Jack says. Their instruments may be rubbish, but their message isnt.（1）Who is not a member of the Garbage-Men band?A . Trent BerryB . Ollie GrayC . Evan TuckerD .

This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unknown person who lived in Rome in AD 53 wrote it.We all love new inventions.

Perhaps because they live a simpler live.One family in the UK went back in time to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin, 10 and Thomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phones. The grandmother, Lyn, said, The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes. The boys said they fought less.

People who live far away from noisy cities often seem to be happier.B . An unknown Roman was sure that the quality of life would get better.C . The family had some changes when they lived in a 1940s house.D . With the improvement of our lives, we often feel stressed and tired.（5）The passage is mainly
