22、We study at West Hill No. 6 Middle School. We have a special activity in May. We usually call it Food Street. We held this activity on the school playground in May this year.

This activity is a part of our school English Art Festival. The teachers divided the students in each class into groups. Each group sold different kinds of foods. The students did the cooking and the shopping by themselves. They cooked delicious food such as fried chicken, potato chips and vegetables. The students all worked hard and sold the food at low prices. The customers were all the students, teachers and parents. They were all pleased with the nice food.

“It was really hard work,” said one of the students. “We must make a plan before the cooking. We must know how much we should spend on the things. Sometimes we needed to learn how to cook some food. Also, we must learn how to serve customers well.”

“This activity was a good chance for students to improve their skills,” said one teacher. “What was more, the students did not only learn how to make money by their own hands, but also knew the meaning of life.” Parents also welcomed this kind of activity. They thought their children became more hard-working and understanding.

23、During all this time, I never stopped thinking about escape(逃跑). When I travelled across to the other side of the island, I could see the other islands, and I said to myself, “Perhaps I can get there with a boat. Perhaps I can get back to England one day.”

So I decided to make myself a boat. I cut down a big tree, and then began to make a long hole in it. It was hard work, but about six months later, I had a very fine canoe(独木舟). Next, I had to get it down to the sea. How silly I was! Why didn’t I think carefully before I began to work? Of course, the canoe was too heavy. I couldn’t move it! I pulled and pushed and tried everything, but it didn’t move. I was very unhappy for a long time after that.

In my sixth year on the island, I did make myself a smaller canoe, but I did not try to escape in it. The boat was too small for a long journey, and I did not want to die at sea. The island was my home now, and I was just happy to be alive. A year or two later, I made myself a second canoe on the other side of the island. I also built myself a second house there, and so I had two homes.

I kept food and tools at both of my houses, and also wild goats. There were many goats on the island, and I made fields with high fences to keep them in. They learnt to take food from me, and soon I had goats’ milk to drink every day. I also worked hard in my corn fields. And so, many years went by.

A. was probably from England

B. lived happily on the island

C. lost his way on the island

D. was born on the island

【2】Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A. The writer made himself a smaller canoe in his sixth year on the island.

B. The writer made fields with high fences to keep many wild goats in.

C. The writer didn’t try to escape because he had two homes on the island.

D. The writer knew the canoe was too small for a long journey across the sea.

【3】This story is mainly about how the writer .

A. kept goats in the fields

B. escaped from the island

C. built houses by himself

D. survived on the island
