Norah had a cottage on a cliff(悬崖)above a big bay. In winter it could be very unpleasant because of strong winds and sea waves. In fact, when a gale was blowing, Norah and her husband got used to sleeping in a small room downstairs, because their bedroom upstairs, which faced the gales, had a very big window, and they were afraid that an extra violent wind might break it and blow pieces of broken glass over them.

Also, the salt wave from the sea put an end to many of the colorful plants Norah planted in her garden. She tried putting up a fence to protect them, but the wind just hit it, went up over the top and then down the other side, so in the end she filled the garden with trees and bushes that liked salt.

But most of the summer Norah enjoyed her cottage and garden very much. At weekends she could sit out-of-doors in the sun, looking at the beautiful view, with interesting ships and boats passing by, and she could very easily cycle down to the sea for a swim.

Now, Norah and her husband had plenty of friends and relations. In the summer lots of them used to come to enjoy the beautiful place, and in the end it really became quite annoying for the couple. When they were at home, they found friends and relations arriving, expecting to be given unlimited drinks and meals, and to sit in the sun for hours, talking as if Norah and her husband had nothing else to do but entertain and listen to them.

This went on for several years. Norah didn’t wish to appear rude by refusing to let her friends and relations in, but on the other hand, she was getting tired every summer.

Then one day Norah was complaining about this to her hairdresser while she was doing her hair. “You’re disturbed by too many uninvited guests, are you?” said the hairdresser. “Why don’t you try my way of escaping?”

“What’s that?” asked Norah.

“Well,” the hairdresser answered, “when the bell rings, I put on my coat and take my shopping bag. If it’s someone I don’t want to see, I say innocently, ‘I’m sorry, but I’ve got to go out.’ But…”

1.The underlined word “gale” can be replaced by _____.

A.wind             B.ship              C.sea              D.animal

2.We can infer that _____.

A.lots of friends cam to visit them in winter

B.few friends came to visit them in winter

C.friends came to visit them only for drinks and meals

D.Norah was a good cook

3.How did Norah go to the sea for a swim?

A.She went there by ship.                  B.She walked there.

C.She swam there.                        D.She went there by bicycle.

4.The hairdresser likely to continue to say “_____” in the end?

A.if I’m tired, I say ‘Sorry, can you come next time?’

B.if it’s someone I like to see, I say ‘How lucky! I’ve just come in!’

C.if it is fine that day, I say, ‘I’m tired of this, but I’ll show you around the place.’

D.if it’s someone I like to see, I say, ‘How happy to see you! But I was going shopping now .’

5.Which of the following is the best title?

A.A Good Place of Enjoying the Sea           B.A Visit to Norah

“Mark Twain” was the name used by Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835~1910) when he wrote books.His father was a lawyer,but a poor one,who lived in Florida,Missouri.The family was so poor that Samuel did not receive much teaching.He had to learn all that he could from the people whom he met.His father died when he was very young,and then there was even less money than before.

Many of the men in this part of America worked in the ships on the great Mississippi River,and he did this himself at one time (1857).

Where did he find the name “Mark Twain”? It came from the great river itself.It was part of one of the cries used by men who worked in the ships.When a man called “By the mark twain!” he meant that the river was “two marks deep” there,that is to say,six feet deep ( “Twain” is an old form of the word “Two”.) Samuel Clemens often heard these words when he was young,and he used them as a pen name all his life.

During his work on the Mississippi he met travelers of all kinds,and this helped him a great deal when he started to write.But the number of travelers became smaller when war started in America in 1861.Many of the great ships on the river stopped work.Samuel left then and went to Nevada with his brother,who was at that time Governor of Nevada.There,near the town of Carson,Samuel became a gold miner,but he never made much money at the time.He soon saw that life in the gold mines was not for him.He also tried writing for the newspapers in Nevada,and this seemed more hopeful.He found that he could write.

He went to Europe in 1867 and visited France and Italy.In 1870 he married Olivia Langdon,and two years later he was spending nearly all his time writing.Among his books is his own story (1908).

He is now always known as Mark Twain,and many people do not even know that his family name was Clemens.He traveled in America and in England,and went to Oxford in 1907.He was one of the great American writers of the time,and could make his readers laugh—a thing which few writers can do.He died in 1910.

1.“Mark Twain” was         .

3.What gave him a great deal when he started writing?

A.His poor childhood.

B.The Mississippi River.

C.All kinds of travelers he met.

D.His brother.

4.We can infer(推断)from the passage that         .

A.Samuel loved writing from his early age

B.Samuel did not love writing at the beginning

C.his writings to the newspaper were successful

D.his brother encouraged him to write more
