coming 37 . i only knew that five dollars was an enormous, nearly 38 amount of money, and as awful as peas were, only one plate of them stood between me and the 39 of that five dollars. i began to force the terrible things down my 40 .my mother was very angry. my grandmother had that 41 look of someone who has thrown down an unbeatable trump card（王牌）. i can do what i want, ellen, and you cant stop me. my mother glared at her mother. she glared at me.i, of course, kept shoving peas down my throat. the 42 made me nervous, and every single pea made me want to throw up, but the magical image of that five dollars 43 before me, and i finally swallowed down every last one of them. my grandmother handed me the five dollars in a(n) 44 way. my mother continued to glare in silence. and the 45

letters from children and cant answer them allthere wouldnt be time enough in a day. that is why i am sending you this printed reply to your letter. ill try to answer some of the questions that are commonly asked.where did i get the idea for stuart little and for charlottes web? well, many years ago i went to bed one night in a railway sleeping car, and during the night i dreamed about a tiny boy who acted rather like a mouse. thats how the story of stuart little got started.as for charlottes web, i like animals and my barn（谷倉）is a very pleasant place to be, at all hours. one day when i was on my way to feed the pig, i began feeling sorry for the pig because, like most pigs, he was doomed to die. this made me sad. so i started thinking of ways to save a pigs life. i had been watching a big grey spider at her work and was impressed by how clever she was at weaving. gradually i worked the spider into the story that you know, a story of friendship and salvation（拯救）on a farm. three years after i started writing it, it was published. (i am not a fast worker, as you can see.)sometimes im asked how old i was when i started to write, and what made me want to write. i started earlyas soon as i could spell. in fact, i cant remember any time in my life when i wasnt busy writing. i dont know what caused me to do it, or why i enjoyed it, but i think children often find pleasure and satisfaction in trying to set their thoughts down on paper, either in words or in pictures. i was no good at drawing, so i used words instead. as i grew older, i found that writing can be a way of earning a living.some of my readers want me to visit their school. some want me to send a picture, or an autograph, or a book. and some ask questions about my family and my animals and my pets. much as id like to, i cant go visiting. i cant send books, eitheryou can find them in a bookstore or a library. many children assume that a writer owns (or even makes) his own books. this is not truebooks are made by the publisher. if a writer wants a copy, he must buy it. thats why i cant send books. and i do not send signaturesi leave that to the movie stars. i live most of the year in the country, in new england. from our windows we can look out at the sea and the mountains. i live near my married son and three grandchildren.are my stories true, you ask? no, they are imaginary tales, containing fantastic characters and events. in real life, a family doesnt have a child who looks like a mouse; in real life, a spider doesnt spin words in her web. in real life, a swan doesnt blow a trumpet. but real life is only one kind of lifethere is also the life of the imagination. and although my stories are imaginary, i like to think that there is some truth in them, tootruth about the way people and animals feel and think and act.yours sincerely：e.b. white51the author wrote the letter because _.ahe is not a fast workerbhe was invited to answer the questionsche didnt have enough time to answer all the lettersdhe felt sorry for not being able to send books to his readers52what probably caused the writer to get interested in writing childrens book?awriting can be a way to earn his living. bthe fact that he was not good at drawing. chis mother influence on his childhood.dthe instinct of children.53from para.5, we can learn that .amany famous people like to visit schoolsbmovie stars will send autographs to readerscmany people think authors have copies of their own booksdthe author lives with his married son and three grandchildren54in the last paragraph, the author is trying to tell us _ .awe only have one kind of lifebthere is no truth in imaginary talescimaginary tales are based on our true lifedfantastic characters and events only exist in imaginary talesbthree japanese tourists taking a holiday in australia got stuck when their gps told them they could drive from the mainland to an island, failing to mention the 15 kilometres of water and mud in between.as they drove their hired car from moreton bay in queensland to nearby north stradbroke island, they started to notice the firm gravel（沙石）surface they were driving on giving way to the renowned bay mud. however, being confident that their gps would direct them to a road soon, they decided to plough on, managing to travel around 500 metres before their hyundai getz（現(xiàn)代汽車）was up to its axles tires in mud. to make matters worse, the tide started to come in and soon forced them to seek help and abandon the vehicle. just four hours later the car was trapped in two metres of water to the great amusement of onlookers on the shore and passengers on passing boats and ferries.yuzu noda, 21, said she was listening to the gps and “it told us we could drive down there. it kept saying it would navigate us to a road. but we got stucktheres lots of mud.” she and her travel companions tomonari saeki, 22, and keita osada, 21, instead had to give up their plans for a day trip to the island and headed back to the gold coast of a lift from the racq tow truck（吊車）driver who was called to the trapped car. no such luck for the hired car though after assessing the situation, no attempt was made to recover it. the students from tokyo, who are due to return home tomorrow, said the experience would not put them off returning to australia for another visit. “we want to come back to australia again. everyone is very nice, even today.” ms yuzu said.remaining excited, mr. tomonari joked that the car may have got stuck because it was built in korea. “maybe if it was japanese it would be okay,” he said. he added, “it has rained every day on our six day holiday. hopefully next time we come back it will be sunny.” the car was covered by insurance, but the tourists will have to pay up to about $1500 in extra charges.55the three japanese tourists got stuck because _.athere was no way to the islandbtheir gps was broken during their journeyctheir gps had given the wrong informationdtheir car was made in korea instead of japan56they didnt abandon their car until _.athere came the tide bthey got stuck in the mudcsome onlookers went to save them dthey managed to travel around 500 metres57how did these japanese students get back?athey had to walk back to their living place.bthey had to repair their gps and drove back.cthey had to take a lift from the tow truck driver.dthey had to turn to passengers on passing boats and ferries.58according to the passage, which of the following is true?athe car was left where it was trapped.bthe passengers saved these students in the end.cmr. tomonari got very frustrated after the journey.dthe car was covered by insurance so they didnt have to pay any money.cthese days, it seems that almost all of us are too seriousmy older daughter often says to me, “daddy, youve got that serious look again” even those of us who are committed to non-seriousness are probably too seriouspeople are frustrated and anxious about almost everything - being five minutes late, witnessing someone look at us wrong or say the wrong thing, paying bills, waiting in line, overcooking a meal, making an honest mistake - you name it, and we all lose perspective（理性判斷） over itthe root of being anxious is our unwillingness to accept life as being different, in any way, from our expectationvery simply, we want things to be a certain way but theyre not a certain waylife is simply as it isperhaps benjamin franklin said it best: “our limited perspective, our hopes and fears become our measure of life, and when circumstances dont fit our ideas, they become our difficulties” we spend our lives wanting things, people, and events to be just as we want them to be - and when theyre not, we fight and we sufferthe first step in recovering from over-seriousness is to admit that you have a problemyou have to want to change, to become more easygoingyou have to see that your own anxiety is largely of your own creation - its made up of the way you have set up your life and the way you react to itthe next step is to understand the link between your expectations and your frustration levelwhenever you expect something to be a certain way and it isnt, youre upset and you sufferon the other hand, when you let go of your expectations, when you accept life as it is, youre freea good exercise is to try to approach a single day without expectationdont expect people to be friendlywhen theyre not, you wont be surprised or bothered; if they are, youll be delighteddont expect your day to be problem-freeinstead, as problems come up, say to yourself, “ah, another barrier to overcome” as you approach your day in this manner youll notice how elegant life can berather than fighting against life, youll be dancing with itpretty soon, with practice, youll lighten up your entire lifeand when you lighten up, life is a lot more fun59why are people easily frustrated and anxious these days?abecause their children are disappointingbbecause they have to look serious in publiccbecause life is becoming a greater burdendbecause people have lost sensible judgment60according to benjamin franklin, what was the cause of over-seriousness?athe fact that peoples perspective, hopes and fears are limitedbthe fact that people cant change life itselfcthe fact that things fa
