    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    I knew I was all right now.  Nobody else would come a­hunting after me. I got my traps out of the canoe and made me a nice camp in the thick woods. I made a tent out of my blankets to put my things under so the rain couldn't get at them. I caught a catfish and towards sundown I started my camp fire and had supper.

             When it was dark I sat by my camp fire, feeling pretty satisfied; but by and by it got sort of lonesome, so I went and sat on the bank and listened to the current crashing along, and counted the stars and drift logs and rafts that came down, and then went to bed; there was no better way to put in time when you are lonesome; you can't stay so, and you soon get it over.

             And so for three days and nights. No difference—just the same thing. But the next day I went exploring around the island.  I was boss of it; it all belonged to me, and I wanted to know all about it; but mainly I wanted to spend the time. I found plenty of strawberries and green summer grapes; and the green blackberries were just beginning to show.

             Well, I went fooling along in the deep woods till I judged I wasn't far from the foot of the island. I had my gun along, but I had shot nothing; it was for protection. About this time I almost stepped on a good­sized snake, and it moved quietly and smoothly through the grass and flowers, and I was after it, trying to get a shot at it. I clipped(疾驰) along, and all of a sudden I bounded(跳) right on to the ashes of a camp fire that was still smoking.

             My heart jumped up among my lungs. I never waited to look further, but unlocked my gun and went sneaking back on my tiptoes as fast as I could. Every now and then I stopped a second among the thick leaves and listened, but my breath came so hard that I couldn't hear anything else. I moved quietly along another piece further, then listened again; and so on, and so on. If I saw a stump(树桩), I took it for a man; if I stepped on a stick and broke it, it made me feel that a person had cut one of my breaths in two and I only got half, and the short half, too.

             There was no time to be fooling around. When getting to the camp, I got all my traps into my canoe again to have them out of sight. I put out the fire and threw the ashes around to look like an old last year's camp, and then climbed a tree.

             I suppose I was up for two hours; but I didn’t see or hear anything—I only thought I heard and saw as much as a thousand things. Well, I couldn’t stay up there forever, so at last I got down, but I kept in the thick woods and on the lookout all the time. All I could get to eat was berries and what was left over from breakfast.

    阅读理解

    　　When I was growing up, I had an old neighbor, Dr．Gibbs．He didn’t look like any doctor I’d ever known．He never invited us to play in his yard, but he was a very kind person．When Dr．Gibbs wasn't saving lives, he was planting trees．He owned a large field and wanted to make it a forest．

    　　The good doctor had some interesting ideas about planting trees．He never watered his new trees．Once I asked why．He said that watering plants spoiled them, and that if you watered them, each baby tree would grow weaker and weaker, so you had to make things difficult for them and pick out the weaker trees early on．

    　　He talked about how watering trees made for shallow(浅的)roots, and the trees that weren’t watered had to grow deep roots in search of water under the earth by themselves．Deep roots were very important．So he never watered his trees．He’d planted an oak and, instead of watering it every morning, he'd beat it with a rolled-up newspaper．I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree's attention．

    　　Dr．Gibbs died several years after I left home．Every now and then, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I watched him plant about twenty-five years ago．They're very big and strong now．

    　　I planted some trees a few years back and carried water to them for a whole summer．After two years of caring too much, whenever a cold win blows in, they shake a lot．

    　　Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons．Mostly I pray(祈祷)that their lives will be easy．But lately I’ve been thinking that it’s time to change my prayer．I know my children are going to face difficulties．There’s always a cold wind blowing somewhere, so what we need to do is to pray for roots that reach deep into the brave heart, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, we could face it strongly and won't be beaten down．
