Below are some comments from the community. Please feel free to add to the list.
• Some fantasy readers are unhappy with their lives and think that they would be happier in another world. Someone who is not so successful in this world might be a hero or king in another world.
—Lucy
• I like reading fantasy b ooks because they provide me with a different point
of view on the world. I like to think about it using the analogy （类比） of the house that you live in but will never be able to understand if you don ' t ever get outside
and look at it from another perspective （视角）.
—Martin
• You can see a lot of tiny details in fantasy books that you may somehow lose in your everyday life just because they aren ' t getting enough of your attention.
Understand them and they ' ll make your life more colourful and interesting.
—Jordan
• A lot of fantasy is about the world we would like to see. Fantasy novels are extremely popular, but most popular with children. This is probably due to the natural curiosity and creative imagination inherent （固有的） in nearly every young person.
Older readers might enjoy fantasy because of its imaginative scope. People can relate to the feelings and experiences of fantasy characters.
—Ahmed
• I like reading fantasy because I have a great imagination which I find is better used while reading fantasy than in everyday life. In fantasy there is no real right or wrong. Furthermore, I believe there really is magic, but people just don' t realise it because it works in subtle （微妙的） ways, and you may not recognise it for what it is.
—Chris
• Many people like t o escape from the busy and noisy life and be attracted by
a story which involves something special, unreal or different —possibly magic. People enjoy being in someone else ' s shoes —someone extraordinary, so that we can look at the world through another 's eyes. You can switch off and enjoy letting your
imagination run wild.
—Emily

A century ago in the United States, when an individual brought suit （起诉）against a company, public opinion tended to protect that company. But perhaps this phenomenon was most striking in the case of the railroads. Nearly half of all carelessness cases decided through 1896 involved railroads. And the railroads usually won.
Most of the cases were decided in sate courts, when the railroads had the climate
of the times on their sides. Government supported the railroad industry; the progress railroads represented was not to be slowed down by requiring them often to pay damages to those unlucky enough to be hurt working for them.
Court decisions always went against railroad workers. A Mr. Farwell, an engineer, lost his right hand when a switchman carelessly ran his engine off the track. The court reasoned that since Farwell had taken the job of an engineer voluntarily at good pay, he had accepted the risk. Therefore the accident, though avoidable had the switchmen acted carefully, was a "pure accident". In effect a railroad could never be held responsible for
injury to one employee caused by the mistake of another.
In one case where a Pennsylvania Railroad worker had started a fire at a warehouse and the fire had spread several blocks, causing widespread damage, a jury found the company responsible for all the damage. But the court overturned the jury's decision because it argued that the railroad's carelessness was the immediate cause of damage only to the nearest buildings. Beyond them the connection was too far-off to consider.
As the century wore on, public feeling began to turn against the railroads -- against their economic and political power and high fares as well as against their coldness toward individuals.
14. Which of the following is NOT true in Farwell's case?
A. Farwell was injured because he carelessly ran his engine off the track.
B. Farwell would not have been injured if the switchman had been more careful.
C. The court argued the victim had accepted the risk since he had willingly taken his job.
D. The court decided that the railroad should not be held responsible.
15. What must have happened after the fire case was settled in court?
A. The railroad compensated （赔偿）for the damage to the immediate buildings.
B. The railroad compensated for all the damage by the fire.
C. The railroad paid nothing for the damaged building.
D. The railroad worker paid for the property damage himself.
16. The following aroused public anger EXCEPT ___ .
A. political power
B. high fares
C. economic loss
D. indifference
17. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Railroad oppressing individuals in the US.
B. History of the US railroads.
C. Railroad workers' working rights.
D. Law cases concerning the railroads.
C
Every continent, except Antarctica, has rock art, but Africa has more rock art and the greatest range of art. It also has some of the oldest art. Almost every country in Africa has rock art but the greatest number of examples occur in North
Africa 's Sahara Desert and in Southern Africa. There are two kinds of art: rock paintings and rock
engravings （雕刻）.
In North Africa, some of the earliest works were over 8 metres high and were very well made by Stone-age people, who had no knowledge of writing. Most of North Africa ' s rock art is found in the Sahara Desert, and other north - and
west-African countries. The richest of all is Algeria, where some of the world ' s most varied and extraordinary rock art can be found.
Because rock art was made so long ago, we don ' t know who the earliest
artists were. However, there are some exceptions to this. In North Africa, we know that the earlier art, dating from more than 7,000 years ago, was made by people who hunted and gathered wild food. Paintings, including those of cattle dating from between 7,000 and 4,500 years ago, may have been made by ancestors of Black West Africans. Much of the art of the last 3,500 years, particularly the engravings of Niger and Mali, was produced by ancestors of the Amazie people.
Rock art is the only way we can tell how our ancestors thought and how
they saw their world. However, because most rock art belonged to cultures that disappeared long ago, it
' s now difficult to understand why the artists painted and
carved （雕刻）, or what their art meant to them. Many researchers believe that the art had religious connections, expressing the artist ' s thoughts of reality and their position in the world around them.
It must have been a means of communication, but with whom? Bushmen
artists showed their visions of a combined natural and spiritual world. Did they do
this to tell others what they saw during dream-like states or was it a means to contact the earth ' s spirit and control nature? During the 20th century in eastern and central Africa, people used and still use rock paintings to bring rain, and assist their souls through difficult moments such as birth, becoming adults, sickness and death. Perhaps our modern beliefs have ancient origins.
18. Where is the most colourful rock art?
A. Algeria.
B. Southern Africa.
C. The Sahara Desert.
D. West-African countries.
19. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The significance of rock art.
B. The identity of the rock artists.
C. The extent of rock art in Africa.
D. The discovery of the first rock art.
20. What do researchers think of
rock art?
beliefs.
A. It reflected our ancestors
B. It was probably a form of competition.
C. It served as a way to practice painting.
D. It showed a world our ancestors imagined.
21. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Bushmen used rock art to control nature.
B. Modern Africans still create rock art as a tradition.
C. Ancient Africans used rock art to record their dreams.
D. Some Africans used rock art to strengthen themselves.
D
Perhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money.
Strange as it may seem, if you're unsatisfied, the issue is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of desires —not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but
that you don't have enough tastes.
Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities （能力） to enjoy life.
Most people are already swamped（淹没） with things. They eat, wear, go and talk too
much. They live in too big a house with too many rooms, yet their house of life is a hut.
Your house of life ought to be a mansion （豪宅） , a royal palace. Every new taste,
every additional interest, every fresh enthusiasm adds a room. Here are several rooms your house of life should have.
Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things. If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them, they would make you as happy as to find plenty of ham and eggs when you're hungry.
Literature, classic literature, is a beautiful, richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment. To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person, for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library.
Music like Mozart's and Bach's shouldn't be absent. Real riches are of the spirit. And when you've brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk, you have increased your thrills and bettered them. And life is a matter of thrills.
Sports, without which you remain poor, mean a lot in life. No matter who you are, you would be more human, and your house of life would be better supported against the bad days, if you could, and did, play a bit.
Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life, the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding. 22. ____________________________________ The author intends to tell us that .
A．true happiness lies in achieving wealth by fair means B．big houses are people's most valued possessions C．big houses can in a sense bring richness of life
D．true happiness comes from spiritual riches
23. _________________________________________________________________ The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably implies that _______________________
A．however materially rich, they never seem to be satisfied
B．however materially rich, they remain spiritually poor
C．though their house is big, they prefer a simple life D．though their house is big, it seems to be a cage
24. It can be learned from the passage that ________ .
A．more money brings more happiness
B．art is needed to make your house beautiful
C．literature can enrich your spiritual life D．sports contribute mainly to your physical fitness
25. What would be the best title for the passage?
A．House of Life
B．Secret of Wealth
C．Rest and Refreshment
D ．Interest and Enthusiasm

I know any word might sound a made-up excuse. But I didn 't use the mobile phone for no reason. Last week I was trying to apply to some companies for my aunt, aged 48 and out of work , and that day, I got an offer and they needed her further information immediately. Therefore, I had no other choice but to try sending them a text message in class and that was exactly what I was doing when you discovered. I promise it will never happen again. But I do need my phone back to get in touch with others. Will you be kind enough to give it back to me?
Hope you can accept my apologies and understand my situation.
Yours sincerely,
