    My grandfather is eighty years old. He always complains about how fast things have changed, and he often says that life used to be better.

    Families aren't what they used to be. A lot of families have broken up. If the husband and wife have problems with their marriage, they no longer stay together. And mothers used to stay at home and take care of their children, but now parents are both busy working. No one has time to look after children at home.

    And the cars! No one walks any more. More and more people drive. We used to walk five miles to school on school days, even in winter. But now we don't. And in school, children don't have to think any more. In math class, for example, we used to add, subtract(减), multiply and divide by using our heads. But now kids don't use their heads any more. Instead, they use calculators.

    Most families have computers now. In the past we didn't have computers. We didn't even have lights. My mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. But now we don't often eat home cooked food.

    And people talk less to each other than before. They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too busy to think.

    Life used to be simple, but it isn't any more.

    Droughts (干旱)are common in Kenya . Before ,they came every 10 years ,but now they seem to be hitting us more often and for a longer time .

    We gave the droughts names :“longoza”was the drought when many animals died ; there was the drought of the “planes” because food was dropped from the air by planes; and one particularly bad drought was called “ man who dies with his money in his fist (拳头)”，because ,even if there was money , there was simply no food to buy .

    I was born in 1951 in Machakos. From what my mother tells me , when I was 7, there was a serious drought . I clearly remember the terrible weather and the hunger. I can’t tell you how many times I went to bed without eating . “ I slept like that ,” is how we described it . I can’t count the number of days when “ I slept like that,” or describe the feeling of going to sleep hungry ,knowing I’d wake up and there would still be no food for breakfast.

    My father would leave early in the morning carrying a little basket to ask for food on credit (赊欠). Each night he would return home around 10:00p.m. My mother would try to encourage me by telling me to keep the water in our pot boiling so that when my father arrived we could quickly cook any food he brought in the already prepared water . I would keep the fire burning and the water boiling , along with the hopes that we would eat that night. But my father would arrive frustrated and empty -handed. And I would sleep like that.

    1.The best title for the text is ________.

    A. A Hungry Childhood Caused by Droughts

    B. Food and Hunger

    C. Protecting the Environment

    D. Droughts and Their Names

    2. What does the drought of the “ longoza”refer to (指代)?

    A. Many animals needed food dropped by planes.

    B. People had to eat animals because of hunger.

    C. Many animals died because of the droughts.

    D. People died of hunger even if they had money .

    3.Why would the author keep the fire burning and the water boiling?

    A. To wait for her father to come back to have supper .

    B. To cook the food that her father would bring back .

    C. To keep her house warm all night .

    D. To make her hungry mother happy.

    4. The sentence “I slept like that ” means “ ________ .”

    A. I was disappointed when my father came back empty-handed

    B. I felt sorry because my family got hungry again

    C. I went to sleep with no food for breakfast.

    D. I went to bed with nothing to eat

    British people are famous for drinking tea. But brother and sister, Sarah and Bobby Green, became young millionaires when they opened a chain of American-style coffee shops in the UK.

    Having the idea: It started when Sarah took a weekend trip to New York to visit her brother Bobby. One evening, in a Thai restaurant, Sarah told Bobby how much she wished she could buy American-style coffee in London. Bobby suggested they started their own coffee shop. Sarah fell in love with the idea.

    Doing the Research: Back in London, she spent a whole day on the London subway, getting off the train at different stations to taste the coffee. “It was terrible, and I knew there was a gap (空缺) in the market.” In 1995, they opened their first Coffee Republic shop in central London.

    Making it work: The first year was very difficult. British people were not used to the names of American coffees, like latte and macchiato. But being successful was their dream and they were not going to give up. Today, there are over 100 Coffee Republic shops all over the country and the company has ￡30 million a year.

    Advice for others: Sarah has now written a best-selling book about their experience, called Anyone Can Do It ! She hopes it will help other young people to start their own businesses. She says, “If you think you have the energy, then get out and follow your dream.”
