Mary Jordan was only three years old, so she stayed in the house waiting by a window. Her brother David was helping his father to let off the fireworks. At first there was no trouble and David held some of the fireworks up so that his small sister could see them clearly. Then Mr. Jordan took a big rocket and put it in an empty bottle. “I’ll light this one,” he told his son. “I don’t want you to burn your hand.”He put the bottle in some soft earth and lit the fuse(导火线) near the top of the rocket. Just at that moment two things happened. The wind blew the bottle on its side, and a neighbour, Mr. Franks, came out to look at his garden. With noise the rocket jumped form the bottle and shot straight toward Mr. Franks, who had his back to it. Mr. Jordan could not shout a warning to his neighbour, because Mr. Franks might turn around and the rocket would hit him in the face. For a few seconds Mr. Jordan stared in fear. Then, at the last moment, Mr. Franks bent down to look at a flower. The rocket shot over him and disappeared in the sky. Mr. Jordan was amazed. He stood up and looked at his neighbour. “I’m sorry,” shouted Mr. Jordan. He walked across to apologize to his friend. Mary was very happy and excited. She clapped her hands and shouted to her father, “Do it again, Daddy! Do it again!”34.In the sentence “I’ll light this one”, the word “light” means ________.A. so set on fireB. to make brighterC. to cause not to be darkD. to cause not to be heavy35.

A story that is passed from mouth to mouth may bebetter in the end than it was in the beginning, but probably it will end up as a very different story. Each storyteller changes something, so by the time the story is written in a book, it is a long way form having any basis (基础) in fact.A man who tells a story does not always try to be accurate (准确). He may not believe that facts are necessary in a story. He may want to make people laugh or make them cry, he may even want to make them think.A good story may live through many centuries, and millions of people may enjoy telling it or listening to it. It is not the accuracy of a story that makes it live. The value of a story does not come form its accuracy but form its human interest or the way it is told.An English writer wrote a new book, and his publisher (出版人) told him that thousand copies had already been sold. That evening, the writer had a meal with his publisher and an American friend. They talked about the book, and the writer told the American that 10,000 copies had been sold. Later, the publisher asked the writer why he had not been more accurate. “To an American,” said the writer, “a thousand is nothing. I multiplied the number by ten to give him a true idea of the success of the book.” This writ er was not famous for his accuracy but for his novels, he knew how to tell stories. His best novels will probably live for a long time.38 It is thought that _______.A. a written story should be true to what was really told from mouth to mouthB. a story told from mouth to mouth is worse than it was in the beginningC. stories about people are sometimes easier to pass onD. a story is usually different from what it was like in the beginning39.
