Section ⅠWarming Up & Reading－Pre­reading
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
All writers have their own special ways of getting words down－a favourite pen, a special place, even a certain time of day. Five famous writers tell you their secrets.
Fay Weldon
British novelist
I get up at seven or eight and then I write until lunchtime. I don't write after lunch. I wrote by pen until about four years ago when I realised that the rest of the world used computers. Although I have a new laptop, I still prefer to use my old computer.
Michael Morpurgo
British children's book writer
I had problems some years ago sitting at a desk, because I got pains in my shoulder, so I decided to write in bed. Now, when I have a story in my head I go to bed with a small notebook and fill it up. I keep my manuscripts (原稿) in the fridge just in case the house burns down.
John Mortimer
British novelist
I write in a room that used to be the garage (车库). Now it's full of books and photographs, I write with a soft red pen on a notebook. Each page is almost exactly 300 words long.
Simon Armitage
British poet and novelist
I used to be more nocturnal (夜间活动的), but since my daughter was born I try to keep more traditional hours. I have an office just outside the house above the garage where I keep my books and my treasures. I listen to music when I'm writing.
I have no love for my computer, although when it's working we are great friends.
Marina Lewycka
Ukrainian novelist
I write in bed, partly because it's the most comfortable and private place and partly because I like to write either at the beginning or the end of the day. I drink an amount of tea and I work on a laptop.

Based on a true story, the novel Safe as Houses by Eric Walters is an amazing book. It is about a 13­year­old girl named Elizabeth Hardy who babysits the McBride children David and Suzie. One rainy, stormy evening they walk home from school. When they arrive home, water floods (淹没) the backyard, cuts the power and floods roads, which stops Mr. and Mrs. McBride from coming home. Soon the flooding begins to invade the McBrides' home and Elizabeth, David, Suzie and their dog Daisy try very hard to escape and survive the flood.
My favorite character is David because I find him very funny and brave, and although he can be stubborn and rude at times, he is still a nice and friendly person. As much as I want to be like David I could never be like him. At least, I don't think I could ever do something as brave as he does.
I think Eric Walters does a great job in describing the characters and telling the story. I really feel like this all just happened in front of my eyes. Ever since I started reading Safe as Houses I never wanted to put the book down, and considering I was not a big fan of reading that did not happen very often. Safe as Houses changed my opinion in regard to reading and now I enjoy reading very much.
Eric Walters' writing career (生涯) all started in 1993 when Eric was teaching a grade 5 class. His students were not good readers and did not like reading, so Eric created a book called Stand Your Ground for his students and used some of the students' names to create the story. Ever since Eric published (出版) that book he has become a big time writer and has published many amazing different books like Camp X, Tiger Trap, Camp 30，We All Fall Down and Flyboy.

Will Hodson, a primary­school teacher in London, was reading a superhero book to his students one day when a thought struck him. “We were talking about how we can all do something heroic every day－open a door for someone, say something nice to someone，” he recalled. “I decided not to use the day's lesson plans and asked the five­year­olds to think about, ‘What are we all good at？’”
Hodson, 39, was good at cycling, and he ended up taking his lesson to an extreme: After saving up for two years, he left his job and set off on a five­year ride across seven continents (洲) to raise money for charity, including for Parkinson's disease, which his father has. Calling himself Super Cycling Man, he tries to visit at least one school per country, to spread the message that “we can all be heroes.”
Starting last May, Hodson has hit 14 countries in Europe. On the road, strangers have acted heroically－Turkish gas station attendants sheltered him from the snow, and people in Serbia made a huge pizza for him.
So far, he has raised about $19,000 of the $140,000 he hopes to raise. Antarctica, the most expensive continent to visit, is last on his list, after Asia, Australia, the Americas and Africa.
The hardest part of the trip has been “just keeping my parents at manageable stress (压力) levels. You see so much bad news in the world, but I see a very different picture－people inviting me to their houses, people pouring me drinks on the street at night.”
Along with the superhero message, Hodson hopes to show people that “life's pretty good on two wheels”－particularly in places where cycling is less popular. Tbilisi, Georgia's capital, with its shortage of bike lanes (自行车道) and its crazy drivers, “is the toughest (最艰难的) city I've seen for cyclists, but even there, young people have been receptive.”
“The youth don't want to necessarily have a big pot belly (大肚子) and drive around in a car.”

C．Winning his parents' full support.
