Born into a farmer’s family, life was not easy when I was a kid. We were so poor that we often did not know where our next meal was coming from. I had to sell cabbages at the marketplace to support my family.
A storyteller once came to the marketplace, and I went to listen to him. My mother was unhappy with me for forgetting my job. But that night, while she was making clothes for us under the weak light of an oil lamp, I couldn't help retelling stories I'd heard that day. She listened impatiently at first, since in her eyes professional (职业的) storytellers were smooth-talking men—nothing good ever came out of their mouths. But slowly she was attracted by my retold stories, and from that day on, she never gave me any task on market days, unspoken agreement to enjoy new stories. As a repayment（回报）for Mother's kindness and a way to show off my memory, I'd retell the stories for her in lively detail. Soon, she wasn't the only member of my audience, which later included my elder sisters, my aunts, even my stubborn grandmother.
I knew she was worried about me. Talkative kids are not well thought of in our village, for they can bring trouble to themselves and to their families when they talk too much. Mother often reminded me not to talk so much, wanting me to be a silent and modest teenager. However, my natural desire（渴望）to talk never went away, and that is what makes my name – Mo Yan, which means ‘no speaking’. This strong wish to talk also improved my ability to express myself, which is important for writers who are also considered as storytellers.
1.Mo Yan lived a/an ________ life when he was young.
A. difficult B. colourful C. easy D. rich
2.From the second paragraph, we can learn that ________.
A. little Mo Yan was interested in selling vegetables
B. his mother was attracted by the retold story at first
C. his mother didn’t let him listen to the new stories again
D. little Mo Yan had quite a good memory
3.Why did his mother dislike the professional storytellers?
A. Because she thought they never said anything good.
B. Because she thought they couldn’t make much money.
C. Because she thought they would affect Mo Yan’s schoolwork.
D. Because she thought most people didn’t like listening to stories.
4.In Mo Yan’s opinion, a writer should be a ________ child when they were young.
A. silent B. modest
C. talkative D. trouble-making
5.Which is the best title（标题）of the passage?
A. My Unlucky Childhood
B. A Storyteller’s Childhood
C. My Kind Grandmother
D. More talking leads to success
Once there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it every day. He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.
Time went by …. The little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree every day. One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad, "Come and play with me," the tree asked the boy. "I'm no longer a kid. I wouldn't play around the tree any more." The boy replied. "I want toys. I need money to buy them." "Sorry, I don't have money. But you can pick all my apples and sell them. So you will have money. "The boy picked all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy never came back after he picked the apples.
One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited. "Come and play with me," the tree said. "I don't have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help?" "Sorry, I don't have a house. But you can cut off my branches（树枝）to build your house."So the boy cut all the branches off the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy never came back since then. The tree was again lonely and sad.
One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was pleased. "Come and play with me!" the tree said. "I am sad and getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me boat?" "Use my trunk（树干）to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy. "So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time.
Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. "Sorry, my boy. But I don't have anything for you any more. The only thing left is my dying root (树根).” The tree said with tears①. “I don't need much now, just a place to rest. I'm tired after all these years," the boy replied.
"Good! Old tree root is the best place to lean on and rest. Come and sit down with me and rest. " The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears②.

C. Each time the boy asked the apple tree for help, the tree tried her best to satisfy him.
D. After reading the passage, we can easily think of the old Chinese saying “Parents’ love is universal!”
“Why does the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side!”
That’s an old joke in the West, but it came to my mind again when I saw people crossing the road at the intersection of Shaanxi Road and Huaihai Road in Shanghai.
When the traffic light was red, a group of people were waiting for the light to change. Suddenly one man began rushing to the other side of the road. Soon others followed him at the crossing and more people did the same. Just like chickens, they didn’t mind the honking horns (喇叭声) and kept crossing the road in a mess.
Every year several thousand people are either killed or hurt on the roads in Shanghai. And at least one third of them were jaywalking (乱穿马路). Jaywalking is very common in Shanghai. It seems that jaywalkers are not afraid of the danger to themselves.
Traffic laws are to keep people safe. So we should obey them, and have good road-crossing habits. When someone starts to jaywalk, we should stop him, and never follow him. That way we can avoid the traffic accidents.
1.The underlined word “intersection” here probably means “ ”.
A. road B. bridge
C. crossing D. traffic
2.The writer saw people_____ in Shanghai that day.
A. crossing the road in a mess
B. waiting for the green light patiently
