When he looked at those pictures, he could come up with (想出) ideas. When he knew what the story would be and who the characters were, he began to write the book. He wrote five pages a day on his computer. Myers usually worked on three books at a time. When he was not prewriting or writing a book, he might be rewriting something he had already finished. Then he would send the story to his agent (代理商). He or she made suggestions (建议) for the story. After these final changes were made, the book was published (出版) and made its way to bookstores and libraries.

He was so old that he could not see or hear very well. He also could not walk very well, or eat very well for his hand shook. The old man's son and daughter-in-law thought he might make trouble at table. So, they had him eat his meals in the corner of the kitchen without a table. They gave him very little to eat. The old man would have a sad look on his face as he looked at his son and daughter-in-law's dinner table. One day the old man's hand shook so terribly that he dropped his dish on the floor. The daughter-in-law became angry and shouted at the old man. And after that, his meals were served in a broken dish. Not long afterwards, the family was sitting having their dinner while the four-year-old grandson was sitting on the floor carefully checking pieces of wood. The father asked, "What are you doing?" "I am making a small bowl." "Why are you making it?" The son answered. "So that I can fill it with your and mother's food when I grow up." The old man's son and daughter-in-law looked at one another and without saying a word started crying. The two quickly brought their old father to their dinner table. From that day on, the old man sat with the family when they had their meals. Even when the old man's food fell here and there, the son and the daughter-in-law did not say anything. 4.

In a few minutes, a young man from his village appeared from far away. On seeing him, Durbeyfield held up his hand, and the boy quickened his steps and came near. “Boy, take up that basket! I want you to do something for me.” The skinny boy frowned (皱眉), “who are you then, John Durbeyfield, to order me about and call me ‘boy’? You know my name as well as I know yours!” “Do you, do you? That’s the secret -That’s the secret! Now obey my orders, and Fred, I don’t mind telling you that the ‘secret is that I’m one of a noble race (高贵的种族)---it has been just found out by me this present afternoon.” And as he shouted loudly, he relaxedly lay himself upon the land among the flowers. The boy stood before Durbeyfield, and looked at him from head to foot. “Sir, John D ’ Urberville---that’s who I am,” continued Durbeyfield. “Do you know such a place as Greenhill?” “Yes. I have been there to Greenhill.” “Well, under the church of that city there lie my fathers---hundreds of them---in coats of gold. There is not a man here who’s got greater and nobler fathers than I.” “Oh?” “Now take up that basket, and go on to the Pure Drop Inn, telling them to send a horse and carriage(马车) with a follower here quickly, to carry me home. And when you’ve done that, go on to my house with the basket, and tell my wife to put away that washing, because she needn’t finish it, and wait till I come home, as I’ve news to tell her.” As the boy stood and wondered why, Durbeyfield put his hand into his pocket, and produced a shilling (a unit of money used in Britain until 1971). “Here is for your work, son.” This made a difference. “Yes. Sir John. Thank you.” The boy took up the basket, and started at once. ---From Thomas Hardy Tess ofthe D’ Urbervilles (1)What did Durbeyfield ask Fred to do? A. To listen to an old story. B.

He has been making Longjing tea for more than forty years. Longjing tea leaves are famous for their color, taste and shape. “You have to touch the leaves with your hands to feel how much water is being removed (去除),” Fan said. “If too much is removed, the leaves will break into pieces; if not enough is removed, the tea will taste bitter (苦的)”. This traditional technique dates back to the Ming and Qing dynasties. It not only makes the tea taste good, but has also become an important part of Chinese tea culture.  These days, however, more people are using machines to do the job. “It’s easier, but the quality is not as good,” Fan said. “Machine-made tea floats longer in water and tastes bitter.” In March this year, when President Xi Jinping visited Hangzhou, he watched Fan roast tea. Fan changed the strength and movement of his hands as he roasted leaves. Xi later said, “The things made by two palms (手掌) cannot be replaced by modern technology.” Fan is now teaching some young men. His son, a 27-year-old college graduate, is one of them. “It’s a tradition. We need to pass it down,” he said. 1.According to Paragraph 3, what will happen to tea leaves if they have too much water? A.They will go bad quickly. B.They’ll break into pieces. C.They will lose their fresh taste. D.They will have a bitter taste. 2.What does the underlined part “this traditional technique” refer to? A.Picking tea leaves. B.Roasting tea leaves by hand. C.Drinking tea in a traditional way. D.Growing tea plants on the mountains. 3.What does Fan think of making tea by machine? A.It is easier than by hand. B.It has a long history in China. C.It makes tea taste better and better. D.It becomes an important part of tea culture. 4.What can we learn from the last paragraph? A.Fan’s son studies tea culture in college. B.Fan will open his own tea houses in China. C.Fan’s son is learning the tea roasting technique. D.Fan is making this technique popular worldwide. 5.What does the passage mainly want to tell us? A.How to tell good tea apart from bad tea. B.Longjing tea leaves are the best in the world. C.How tea is packed and sent to many different countries. D.Sometimes only by hand can we make the best of the things DBACD 信息还原 Do you have true friends?

He wrote more than 100 books, including picture books and non-fictions. “I care about writing for young people because I remember how much I needed help and guidance at that time in my life, “Myers said in his book Just Write: Here’s How! Myers loved writing. He got up at five o’clock every morning. He worked at home in a small office. Myers would first write an outline (提纲) for every book. He called this prewriting. He imagined what the story would be, and wrote down ideas in a notebook. To make sure there’s enough action and dialogue for a good story, he thought of 30 scenes. He wrote a short description of each scene in his notebook. He also cut out pictures of real people and put them on his office walls. When he looked at those pictures, he could come up with (想出) ideas. When he knew what the story would be and who the characters were, he began to write the book. He wrote five pages a day on his computer. Myers usually worked on three books at a time. When he was not prewriting or writing a book, he might be rewriting something he had already finished. Then he would send the story to his agent (代理商). He or she made suggestions (建议) for the story. After these final changes were made, the book was published (出版) and made its way to bookstores and libraries. By that time, Myers would be hard at work on his next book. “I want to do the best that I can with my writing. ” said Myers. 1．What is Walter Dean Myers? . 2．When did Myers get up every morning? . 3．What did Myers call prewriting? . 4．Why did Myers cut out pictures of real people and put them on his office walls? . 5．Where did the book go after final changes? . 综合填空专练 What do you love to do on weekend?

In a few minutes, a young man from his village appeared from far away. On seeing him, Durbeyfield held up his hand, and the boy quickened his steps and came near. “Boy, take up that basket! I want you to do something for me.” The skinny boy frowned (皱眉), “who are you then, John Durbeyfield, to order me about and call me ‘boy’? You know my name as well as I know yours!” “Do you, do you? That’s the secret -That’s the secret! Now obey my orders, and Fred, I don’t mind telling you that the ‘secret is that I’m one of a noble race (高贵的种族)---it has been just found out by me this present afternoon.” And as he shouted loudly, he relaxedly lay himself upon the land among the flowers. The boy stood before Durbeyfield, and looked at him from head to foot. “Sir, John D ’ Urberville---that’s who I am,” continued Durbeyfield. “Do you know such a place as Greenhill?” “Yes. I have been there to Greenhill.” “Well, under the church of that city there lie my fathers---hundreds of them---in coats of gold. There is not a man here who’s got greater and nobler fathers than I.” “Oh?” “Now take up that basket, and go on to the Pure Drop Inn, telling them to send a horse and carriage(马车) with a follower here quickly, to carry me home. And when you’ve done that, go on to my house with the basket, and tell my wife to put away that washing, because she needn’t finish it, and wait till I come home, as I’ve news to tell her.” As the boy stood and wondered why, Durbeyfield put his hand into his pocket, and produced a shilling (a unit of money used in Britain until 1971). “Here is for your work, son.” This made a difference. “Yes. Sir John. Thank you.” The boy took up the basket, and started at once. ---From Thomas Hardy Tess ofthe D’ Urbervilles (1)What did Durbeyfield ask Fred to do? A. To listen to an old story. B.

This traditional technique dates back to the Ming and Qing dynasties. It not only makes the tea taste good, but has also become an important part of Chinese tea culture.  These days, however, more people are using machines to do the job. “It’s easier, but the quality is not as good,” Fan said. “Machine-made tea floats longer in water and tastes bitter.” In March this year, when President Xi Jinping visited Hangzhou, he watched Fan roast tea. Fan changed the strength and movement of his hands as he roasted leaves. Xi later said, “The things made by two palms (手掌) cannot be replaced by modern technology.” Fan is now teaching some young men. His son, a 27-year-old college graduate, is one of them. “It’s a tradition. We need to pass it down,” he said. 1.According to Paragraph 3, what will happen to tea leaves if they have too much water?
