The footsteps came fast, too. He slowed down. The footsteps also slowed down. Now he was sure that someone must be going after him. He tried to hide. Still the steps followed him. He didn't know how to save himself, so he jumped over some tall grass and hid himself in a cemetery(墓地). He threw himself down on one of tombs(坟墓).
The man behind came near. Charlie could hear the man jump over the grass. Thoughts of thieves and robbers filled his mind. Charlie stood up and faced the man. "What do you want? Why are you coming after me?" He asked.
"I say," the stranger（陌生人）asked, "do you always go home like this, or are you taking some special exercise tonight? I want to go to Mr. Green's and don't know the way. The station master told me to follow you as you live next door. Excuse me for asking, but is there much farther to go before we get there?"

We each have a memory（记忆力）. That’s why we can still remember things after a long time. Some peop le have very good memories and they can easily learn many things in a short time, but some people can only remember things when they say or do them again and again. Many of the great men of the world have got surprising memories.
A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day. In school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the stude nts have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too.
But your memory will become better and better when you do more and more exercises.
（）4、Some people can easily learn many things in a short time because .
A．they always sleep very well B．they often eat good food
C．they read a lot of books D．they have very good memories
（）5、Everybody learns his mother language .
A．at the age of six B．when he is a small child
C．after he goes to school D．when he can read and write
（）6、Before a child can speak, he must .
A．read and write B．make sentences
C．hear and remember the sounds D．think hard
（）7、In school the students can’t learn a foreign language well because .
A．they have no good memories B．they have no recorders
C．they have too much time for it D．they are busy with other subjects
（）8、Why can a Chinese learn English easily if he is in England?
A．Because he must speak English every day.
B．Because he will have a good memory in England, not in China.
C．Because his father is an Englishman.
D．Because his English teacher is better in England.
C
Do you see many signs around you? Do you know the signs are an important part of our daily life? They can be in pictures or in words to give people information. What do people think are good signs? If you are thinking about making signs for others, what should you know?
The most important thing is that signs should be simple and easy to understand. It is important to use clear language. On the other hand, the words should be easy to write and you just need to write down what you want to do. “Keep off the grass” is a very good example. It means “Don’t touch or walk on the grass”.
Nowadays, there is a saying that “A picture paints a thousand words”. Perhaps that’s why we are seeing more and more signs in pictures, or a combination of pictures and words. However, tha t’s the difficult part, because picture signs may have different meanings in different countries.
（）9. First, a good sign should be ____.
A. clear
B. beautiful
C. funny
D. interesting
（）10. The writer uses “A picture paints a thousand words” to show that ____.
A. a word sign is as easy as a picture sign to make
B. a picture sign often has more information than a word sign
C. a word sign has more information than a picture sign
D. a word sign and a picture sign have the same information
（）11. What does the underlined word “combination” mean?
A. 分开
B. 结合
C. 并列
D. 平行
（）12. What is the disadvantage (不利因素) of picture signs?
A. They are too simple.
B. They are not easy to understand.
C. They are not as interesting as word sign.
D. They may have different meanings in different countries.
（）13. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Word Signs
B. Picture Signs
C. The History of Signs
D. Signs Are Important

Dear Jane,
Wuxi is a busy city with many places of interest. There are many museums, parks and shopping centers. All these make life in Wuxi more comfortable and colourful.
Last month, I invited Aunt Lucy to visit Wuxi. When she arrived here, she couldn't believe her eyes. She said the streets were wider and cleaner than before. She took many photos. She couldn’t wait to put them on her home page. Wuxi is becoming more and more beautiful.
I hope you can come and enjoy yourself here too.
Yours,
Millie。
