I went home to York, but my father and mother were dead, and also my two brothers. I did find the two sons of one of my brothers. They were happy to learn that I was alive, and I was pleased to find some family.After some months I decided to go down to Lisbon in Portugal. I had friends there who could help me to sell my land in Brazil, and I needed the money. Friday came with me. He was always a good and true friend to me. In Lisbon I found the Portuguese captain, who took me in his ship to Brazil, all those years ago. It was good to see him again, and he helped me with my business. Soon I was ready to go home again by land. No more adventures and dangers by sea for me!It was a long, hard journey. We had to cross the mountains between Spain and France in winter, and the snow was deep. Poor Friday was very afraid of the snow. In his country it was always hot, and he did not like cold weather.Back in England I found a house and began to live a quiet life. My two nephews came to live with me. The younger one wanted to be a sailor, and so I found him a place on a ship. After a while I married, and had three children, two sons and a daughter. Then my wife died, and my nephew, who was now the captain of a ship, came home to see me. He knew that I did not really like a quiet life.24.

They can be very big like becoming Superman, or they can be small. You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class.If you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream come true? Follow Your Heart by Australian writer Andrew Matthews tells us that making our dreams come true is lifes biggest challenge.“You may think youre not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a star. These ideas stop you from realizing your dream,” the book says.In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The first important thing you must do is to remember what your dream is.Dont let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want every day. Do this step by step and your dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is, in fact, made up of many small dreams.Never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dream. But the biggest problem comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will bring you better exam results. Saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book. As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn something more useful and find new hobbies.28.

A United Nations website can show you plenty of useful information for the project. The United Nations lists the rights of children. Most countries agree with all of them, but some countries do not. The following are some of the most important rights of children:Children have the right to be properly fed, clothed and sheltered(庇護(hù)) by their family. If their family cant do so, the government should take responsibility. Children have the right to an education and medical care, which should be provided by the government. Children must not be cruelly punished by their parents or any others. Children have the right to expect the government to protect them from all kinds of abuse(虐待) and neglect(忽略). No child under fifteen should be made to fight in an army. Children have the right to be protected from being made to work too hard to make money for other people. In some countries children do not have these rights. Many young children are made to work long hours in factories and on farms. In some countries there are so few schools that only rich children get an education. There are not enough doctors or nurses to help many children when they are sick. The rights of children are, therefore, the rights people think children should have. They are not always the rights children really have. 31. agree with the United Nations list of childrens rights.A. All countriesB. A few countriesC. No countriesD. Most countries32. The underlined word “responsibility” in the passage means .A. something people have to do B. something people want to doC. something people know how to doD. something people love to do33.

I went over to look at it more carefully, and stopped in sudden surprise. It was a footprint the footprint of a man!Who could this be? Afraid, I looked around me. I listened. I waited. Nothing. I was more and more afraid. Perhaps this man was one of those wild people who killed and ate other men! I looked everywhere, but there was nobody, and no other footprint. I turned and hurried home. “Theres someone on my island,” I said to myself. “Perhaps he knows about mePerhaps hes watching me now from behind a treePerhaps he wants to kill me.”That night I couldnt sleep. The next day I got all my guns ready and I put more wood and young trees around my house. Nobody could see me now. But, after fifteen years alone on the island, I was afraid, and I did not leave my cave for three days.One day, a year later, I was over on the west side of the island. From there I could see the other islands, and I could also see a boat, far out to sea. “If you have a boat,” I thought, “its easy to sail across to this island. Perhaps that explains the footprint it was a visitor from one of the other islands.”I began to move more freely around the island again, and built myself a third house. It was a very secret place in a cave. “No wild man will ever find that,” I said to myself.Then one year something happened which I can never forget. I was again on the west side of the island and was walking along the shore. Suddenly, I saw something which made me feel ill. There were heads, arms, feet, and other pieces of mens bodies everywhere. For a minute, I couldnt think, and then I understood. Sometimes there were fights between the wild men on the other i
