Jack London was born in San Francisco in 1876. Life was hard when Jack was growing up and he started working when he was 10. He did lots of different jobs. In his free time he went to the library and he spent many hours there, reading. In 1894 he went back to school, and published his first short story Typhoon, off the Coast of Japan. Then in 1896 he went to the University of California at Berkeley, but he had to leave because of money problems.

In 1897 he left for the Klondike Gold Rush in Alaska. However, he became ill and came home and started working as a full-time writer. He wrote short stories and soon he was well-known. In 1903 he wrote his most famous story: The Call of the Wild. His next novel was The Sea-Wolf (1904) which is perhaps his best literary novel. With the earnings he bought a large farm in Califonua, where he died in 1916, aged only 40 years old.

London was a prolific writer in his short life. Between 1905 and 1916 he published 18 novels and six collections of stories, as well as a play, various works of non-fiction and a biography. He is best-known for his descriptions of nature and the animal world.

Alice in Wonderland Chapter 2

Alice was not hurt, so she jumped to her feet in a moment. She looked up, and found the White Rabbit was still in sight. She was close behind it when she turned the comer, but the Rabbit was no longer to be seen. She found herself in a long, low hall.

There were doors all around the hall, but they were all locked.

Alice walked sadly down the middle, wondering how she was ever to get out again.

Suddenly, she came upon a little three-legged table. There was nothing on it but a tiny golden key, and Alice's first idea was that this might belong to one of the doors of the hall.

But, alas! Either the locks were too large, or the key was too small. However, on the second time round, she came upon a low curtain she had not noticed before and behind it was a little door.

She tried the little golden key in the lock, and she was pleased to find it fitted!

1.What did Alice want to do when she got to the hall?

A. She wanted to know how to get some food

B. She wanted to know where her sister was

C. She wanted to find out how to get out again

D. She wanted to meet the Rabbit

2.Where did Alice find the tiny golden key?

A.  B.  C.  D.

3.How did Alice feel when the gold key fitted into a lock?

A. Tired B. Shocked C. Happy D. Interested

4.Which is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Alice had never seen the White Rabbit before she got to the hall

B. Some of the doors around the hall were locked

C. Alice noticed the little door as soon as she entered the hall

D. The passage is from Alice in Wonderland

“Will you come with us，Susan？”cried several girls．“We are going to the woods，do come，too．”

“I should like to go with you，”replied Susan，“but I can't finish the task Grandmother set me to do．”

“How boring it must be to stay at home to work on a holiday！”said one of them，shaking her head．“Susan's grandmother is too strict．”

At this，Susan lowered her head，wiped away a tear，and thought of the pleasant afternoon the girls would spend gathering wild flowers．

Soon she said to herself，“What harm can there be in moving the mark Grandmother put？The woods must be beautiful today，and how I should like to be there！”

“Grandmother，”said she，a few minutes afterwards，“I'm ready now．”

“What，so soon，Susan？”Her grandmother took the work，and looked at it very closely．

“True，Susan，”said she，“true，I have counted it，and，as you’ve never deceived（欺騙）me，you may go and enjoy yourself．”

Susan's face turned red，and she did not say“thank you”．As she left，she walked slowly away，not singing as usual．

“Why，here is Susan！”the girls cried．“But what is the matter? Why have you left your dear grandmother？”they jokingly added．

“it's nothing．”As Susan replied，she felt she was trying to deceive herself．

When the girl had reached an open space，they ran about enjoying themselves except Susan．Sitting on the grass，how she wished she were at home confessing（承認(rèn)） her fault．

After a while Rose cried out，“Let’s make a crown of violets，and put it on the head of the best girl here．”

“It will be easy enough to make the crown．but not so easy to decide who is to wear it，”said Julia．

“Why，Susan is to wear it，of course，”said Rose，“is she not said to be the best girl in school and the most obedient（順從的） at home？”

“Yes，yes，the crown shall be for Susan，”cried the other girls．

“Now，Susan，”said Rose，“put it on in a very careful way，for you are to be our queen．

The crown was placed on Susan’s head．But in a moment，she snatched it off，threw it on the ground and said，“No crown for me；I do not deserve（值得）it．”

The girls looked at her with surprise．“I have deceived my grandmother，”said she，while tears flowed down her cheeks．

“Do you think that bad？”asked one of the girls．

“I’m sure it is and I have been miserable all the time I have been here．”

Susan ran home，as soon as she saw Grandmother，she cried，“（）Grandmother！I should be punished，for I moved the mark．Do forgive me；I am very sorry and unhappy．”

“Susan，”said her grandmother，“I knew it all the time，but I let you go ou，hoping that you can realize your fault．I am so glad that you have confessed your fault．”

“Now！”was the quick reply，and Susan's grandmother kissed her forehead．
