Then one year, my grandma gave me a book for Christmas. It was all about making candles and I loved it. I was 14, and I didn’t have to go to the market5because my mother could leave me at home on my own. I6my free time making candles of all shapes and sizes. I made7them.
One day, my mother was ill, so I had to go to the market on my own. I decided to8some candles with me and see9I could sell them. They10蠟) to make more candles. They were sold out really quickly, too.
Ten months later, we decided11flowers. My mother and I couldn’t make enough candles during the week, so some of my friends started to help us. I paid them one pound12every candle, and we 13sell them for three or four times. It was fun and my friends worked with me in the market.
At the age of 22, my uncle14me some money and I opened my first shop in Portobello Road. Since then, I’ve15looked back, even in difficulties. In the first store, we only sold candles, but now we sell everything from the designer, furniture to paintings. Oh, and candles, of course.

Answer 1

1.      B此題是母親不能把我一個人留在家里，leave在這里是留的意思，從下文because my mother could leave me at home on my own也可知道用leave。
2.      B這兩句是因果關(guān)系，故用so。
3.      A 剛開始時，begin with是固定搭配。
4.      D母親講故事，讓我覺得不會很無聊，get bored感覺無聊。
5.      D此題考查not…any more“不再的”，它與be動詞，情態(tài)動詞或助動詞連用。
6.      C此題考“花費”的四個詞，spend….(in) doing sth符合題意，人作主語；take用it作形式主語，后面接不定式。pay一般是pay…for,人作主語；而cost是作作主語。
7.      A本題考數(shù)詞的用法，一個大約的數(shù)在百后加s和of,而具體的數(shù)則不加。
8.      A此題考查take…to,指從近帶到遠(yuǎn)；而bring…to是從遠(yuǎn)帶到近，故選A。
9.      D帶蠟燭的目的是看是否有人買不，故選if,此處if相當(dāng)如whether“是否”。
10.  C此處考被動語態(tài)，由be+過去分詞，sell out指賣光了，從下文They were sold out really quickly, too也可知道選C。
11.  D decide to do sth 決定做某事為固定搭配，后面stop to do 停下去做另一件事，stop doing sth停止正在做某事，此處是不賣蠟燭了，因為沒能制造足夠多的蠟燭。
12.  A pay的固定搭配，一般是pay…for,人作主語。
13.  B used to 過去常常做某事，be used for被用來做…，be used to doing sth習(xí)慣做某事。本題選B。
14.  C此時首先考慮有過去時。Lend是借出，borrow是借進(jìn)，相對于他叔叔是進(jìn)出去，用lend的過去式lent.
15.  C現(xiàn)在完成時，have never從不，決不，指作者從那時起再也不往后看。
