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. "I want toys.

He grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily.

One day,the boy returned,and the tree was so excited. "I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help me?" "You can chop off my branches to build your house."So the boy cut all the branches off the tree and left happily.

One hot summer day,the boy returned,and the tree was delighted. "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 a boat?" " Use my trunk 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. The tree was happy,but it was not true.

"I don't need much now,just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years. " The boy replied.

"Good!An old tree root is the best place to lean on and rest. Come,come,sit down with me and rest. " The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears. . .

During all this time I never stopped thinking about escape. When I traveled across to the other side of the island (島嶼) ，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 (洞) in it. It was hard work,but about six months later,I had a very fine canoe (獨(dú)木舟) .Next,I had to get it down to the sea. How silly I was!Why didn't I think before I began 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.

That happened in my fourth year on the island. In my sixth year 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,not my prison,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.

My life was still busy from morning to night. There were always things to do or to make. I learnt to make new clothes for myself from the skins of dead animals. They looked very strange,it is true,but they kept me dry in the rain.

I kept food and tools (工具) at both my houses,and also wild goats (山羊) .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 (玉米) fields. And so many years went by.

   A. keeping goats for milk

   B. making clothes from animal skins

   C. working in the cornfields

   D. going fishing in the sea

(   ) 14. Why didn't the writer use his first canoe?

   A. Because it was too small for a long journey.

   B. Because it was too heavy to get down to the sea.

   C. Because there was something wrong with it.

The weather is getting hotter. You are thirsty playing basketball or riding home from school. A cold drink may be just the thing. But be careful what you are drinking. Something that looks cool may not be good for your health. There are plenty of "energy drinks" on the market. Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great ！

But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine (咖啡因) in them. These drinks are especially aimed at young people,students,busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much.

Caffeine makes your heart beat fast. Because of this,the International Olympic Committee has limited (限制) its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks. Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous,have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be discouraged from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them.
