Then, within one month, I got a(31)promotion at work and my girlfriend and I decided to get married. Suddenly, my life was in (32)transition with big changes ahead!The new position at work was wonderful. I was no longer relegated to the (33)sidelines. My boss was starting to notice all of my hard work! After a (34)lengthy speech about my new responsibilities, my boss took me to my new private office. Fantastic! I didn't have to sit in the (35)rear of the office anymore, behind the copy machine. I loved my job already.My girlfriend also suggested that we move out of the city and buy a house in the suburbs. We had been city (36)dwellers for so long that it was a difficult decision for us to make. On top of that, I was worried about taking out a (37)mortgage for the house. My new job paid better, but our resources were still (38)finite. Finding a down payment would be tough.In the end, we decided to go for it. There's no time like the present, right? With the new job, I could honestly say that I had a (39)budding career, so it felt right to take the plunge and buy a house. After all these changes, we'd be ready to just relax and enjoy life. So, we took on a honeymoon to the (40)coastal California.Part III: Reading ComprehensionIt would be a fairly accurate statement to say that, when I was in elementary school and high school, I was a painfully shy child. I usually kept to myself, had only a few friends, and rarely spoke in class. My parents were always very busy, so they never pushed me to become more involved in activities and meet more people. I was perfectly happy by myself. I spent much of my time with my nose buried in a book. The only times that I ventured away from the comforts of my bedroom were when I explored the seemingly endless aisles of stocked bookshelves at my favourite bookstore.In retrospect, it was no surprise that I read with such an incredible appetite. Reading was my escape. My favourite books were adventure and travel stories—stories that brought the readers to exotic, unexplored, or dangerous places. These were places I longed to go, and they were adventures I yearned to experience, but I knew it was all just a fantasy. I had a hard time working up the nerve to talk to a fellow classmate, I knew there was no way I could travel around the world and live out oneof these adventures. Therefore, I read. I read every book I could find that promised adventure, excitement, or escape. By the time I graduated from high school, I had probably read more books than our school had in its library. It was quite an achievement, but no one knew about it except for me. I told no one because I had no one to tell. My only friend was Justin, and that relationship only existed because we had been next-doorneighbors for fifteen years.Like most of my classmates, I applied to college and eventually worked up the courage to go. It wasn't easy. I had lived at home with my parents my whole life, and I rarely ever thought about leaving. However, it had finally become inevitable; I couldn't stay with them forever. I attended a local college and moved out to live in a dormitory with a roommate. It would be an understatement to say that I was nervous. I was terrified.My roommate's name was Greg, and the first few weeks of school were very awkward. He kept trying to start conversations and be friendly. I was able to answer his questions, of course, but I found it difficult to keep the conversation going. I just wasn't used to it—I had no practice at this sort of thing. Then one day I returned from an afternoon class and found him reading a Jack London book. Suddenly, I found that I had a hundred questions to ask Greg. Did he like Jack London? Which was his favourite book? Did he read a lot? What other authors did he like? The list was endless.To my surprise, Greg was also in love with adventure and travel books. One of his dreams was to travel around the world and follow in the footsteps of some of history's greatest explorers. There must have been magic at work that day. It was as if my shyness suddenly disappeared. Greg and I talked for hours about our favourite books and dreams of travel. I also found it easier to talk to other people at school and make friends since that day. I felt like the world opened up to me. So many things suddenly seemed possible. In fact, Greg and I are planning a great adventure for this summer! It may have taken me a while, but I finally found a way to break out of my shell and start enjoying life.41.

Once again, Greg was left out of the decision.Part II: Banked ClozeWhen I was a child, my best friend Joseph and I would play a game called "Super Secret Spy." Sometimes I would play the spy and Joseph would play the (31)villain, and sometimes we would reverse the roles. Make-believe games like this were my favourite, and I remember that many summer days were (32)largely spent outside, playing Super Secret Spy.Every time we played, the story had to be different. We played so much that, needless to say, some of the stories got quite (33)bizarre. Eventually, Super Secret Spy was like a science fiction movie; the stories took place on other planets and one of us was an alien. Sometimes, we would wear old Halloween masks so the (34)resemblance to an alien was remarkable!I remember one day in particular. Joseph was the alien and he captured me on a (35)barren, empty planet (my backyard). He threw me in "alien prison" (behind a big tree) and (36)giggled with mischievous delight. At first, I felt all alone and (37)helpless. Then I pulled myself together and remembered that I was the Super Secret Spy!I thought of my escape plan. When Alien Joseph came to check on me in the alien prison, I (38)whirled around quickly and grabbed his alien laser gun. In a (39)blaze of laser fire, I ran past my captor and escaped the alien prison! I was free! Super Secret Spy had won again!Just then, Joseph and I both realized that it was late afternoon, the sun was setting, and (40)twilight was upon us. We were both hungry, so we were incredibly happy when my mother called us inside for dinner. Even SuperSecret Spies and aliens need to eat!Part III: Reading ComprehensionWhen we're young, we can't wait to grow up and get on with life. When we're adults, we long for the carefree days of our youth when we could play all day without worry. This is one of the greatest ironies of life. Indeed, "the grass is always greener on the other side." It is a harsh truth that humans always want what they can't have. It's our nature.That's why it's good practice to instill in our children a healthy respect for childhood. Too many adults seem to be in a hurry for children to grow up. We always ask them, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" We repeatedly tell them, "You can do/have that when you're older." We continually encourage them, "When you grow up, the world will be yours and you can make your dreams come true." It's no wonder, then, that children seem to be in such a rush to grow up, get older, and demand everything that we tell them is coming to them.Children should be free to play the day away. We should encourage them to use their imagination, create entire worlds in a cardboard box, and explore their backyard as if they were exploring an undiscovered country. You cannot put a price on an active and fertile imagination, nor can you overestimate the value of an inquisitive mind, a respect for the environment, and an urge to question why everything is as it is. These traits are all developed and nurtured when we're children and, without them, we would not be able to function as adults in the modern world.Research has shown that children are happiest and healthiest when they have the freedom to act like children. This may seem obvious, but it's often forgotten as parents push their children to study harder, practice longer, and essentially act like adults. It's important to remember that children are constantly learning.Therefore, they are also learning as they're playing. Exploring nature fosters a respect for the environment that may lead children to become biologists or naturalists. Creating with paint and crayons instills a love of art that might help develop young artists or musicians. Playing make-believe stimulates the imagination in a way that writers, filmmakers, and actors find most useful. Building with blocks helps the mind understand how things are constructed and might lead to an interest in engineering.It's true that play helps develop skills that will be used later in life. However, this should not be the sole purpose of play. Children should play because they're children. It's how they stay happy, healthy, and young. Why should we push them to be something they're not?41. Which of the following sentences is the main idea of this passage?A. It is a harsh truth that humans always want what they can't have.B. Too many adults seem to be in a hurry for children to grow up.C. Children should be free to play the day away.D. It's true that play helps develop skills that will be used later in life.42. Which of the following would the writer of this passage likely NOT agree with?A. Adults should understand that children learn while they play.B. It is important for children to play and act young.C. Many games help children appreciate potential careers.D. Children should concentrate on their schoolwork above everything else.43. "The grass is always greener on the other side" means _____.A. other situations always seem better than the ones we are inB. people always lack confidence in themselvesC. people prefer to live in a less barren landD. people always want their children to grow up fast44. This passage is best described as _____.A. a first-person memoirB. a dramatic dialogueC. a persuasive essayD. an entertaining story45.

The President's new policy is, so to speak, beneficial for international trade.Part II: Banked ClozeLet me pose a(n) (31)hypothetical situation for you. Imagine that you are very rich and can do almost anything you want. Now imagine that you love art and want to support struggling artists. You decide to (32)commission a painting from a young artist whose work you admire. What would you have him paint?Would you ask for an epic battle set in a(n) (33)mythological world of monsters and fairies or would you ask for a realistic, (34)expressive portrait of yourself? If you chose the latter, you're in good company because that is (35)precisely what I did. I had seen so many beautiful portraits of famous people hanging in museums that I thought it was time to have my very own.It took me a long time to find a highly (36)qualified artist whose work would do justice to my portrait. In the (37)meantime, I studied the artistic process and learned a lot about how art is created. I must admit that, even though I've always admired artists, I never had a full appreciation for their creative talent. I certainly don't have that ability, so I'm incredibly impressed when someone (38)instinctively knows how to create a work of such beauty.I was fairly nervous about seeing my finished portrait. The artist, likewise, was very nervous about showing it to me. In the end, I must admit that he did a(n) (39)sufficient job capturing my likeness. I'm not in love with the painting, but the artist should take (40)consolation in the fact that he did the best he could with his subject. I'm not a very attractive man, so it's almost impossible for my portrait to be beautiful and realistic.Part III: Reading ComprehensionWhen it comes to the arts, many people automatically think of Europe and North America. This is understandable since so many famous artists come from these regions. Many art museums are filled with paintings and drawings from European and North American artists from the past few hundred years. All countries, however, have a unique artistic heritage, so it should come as no surprise that countries throughout Africa and Asia have their own artistic styles and histories.Completely landlocked within Southern Africa, the nation of Botswana is particularly susceptible to cultural trends and influences from surrounding countries, chiefly South Africa. However, there is a burgeoning arts scene native to Botswana, and the country also has a long history of distinct artistic traditions.The oldest evidence of art in the country was found in the Tsodilo Hills, located in northwestern Botswana, in the Kalahari Desert. Dating to 1,000—2,000 years ago, these rock paintings form the highest concentration of rock art in the world and are considered sacred by the San minority culture. Today, the San are known for continuing the ancient arts of decorating ostrich eggshells for jewelry and creating ostrich eggshell beads, which they consider to represent good luck and good fortune. Archaeologists believe this type of bead to be the oldest-known man-made bead; they have been recovered at East and Southern African archaeological digs and dated to 28,000—45,000 years ago.The National Museum and Art Gallery in Gaborone is the centrepiece of modern art in the country. It is widely regarded as one of the best art galleries in Southern Africa; it holds regular exhibitions highlighting the work of local artists and also sponsors an annual celebration for local art and artists. The National Museum also acts as custodian for the cultural heritage and traditions of the country, the duties of which include preservation, education, and promotion. Twentieth and twenty-firstcentury painters include Phillip Segola, Ann Gollifer, and Neo Matome.Spring in Gaborone, the capital city, sees the annual Maitisong Festival—the country's largest celebration of the performing arts. The festival includes free outdoor performances at city arenas as well as ticketed indoor events at Gaborone's theatres and arts venues. Performing arts organizations, such as the Mogwana Dance Troupe, are becoming more popular as more and more people embrace and wish to share their cultural heritage.Local handcrafts, supported in large part by the tourist trade, are generally of the utilitarian variety. Handwoven baskets, one of the specialties associated with Botswana, are of extremely high quality. Made almost exclusively in the Okavango region, they are woven with the leaves of the Mokolwane palm and utilize various roots and barks in order to give the baskets their unique colours and designs (typically associated with the nation's traditional lifestyle). Due to the abundance of cattle livestock, leatherwork has also developed as an important and widespread handcraft. Traditionally used to make clothing, blankets, and sleeping mats, leather is today more often used to make designer bags, belts, and accessories.41. Which of the following best describes the main idea of this passage?A. European art is superior to all other art.B. African art is superior to all other art.C. Every country has a unique artistic tradition.D. Art is only a modern creation.42. Which paragraph discusses the early history of art in Botswana?A. Paragraph 3.B. Paragraph 4.C. Paragraph 5.D. Paragraph 6.43. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. All art in Botswana is thoroughly unique to that country.B. Art in Botswana has been influenced by neighbouring countries.C. Art in Botswana is a relatively recent invention.D. All art in Botswana consists of simple decorations.44.

The beauty about it is that I can always find a song to identify with, whether at a time of happiness, loneliness or sorrow.Some scientists have found that people can boost their mood simply by listening to upbeat music. For instance, I listen to pop music with happy melodies when I have something to celebrate. Whenfeeling relaxed, I love to lie back and listen to jazz in particular. While I amdisturbed by the problems of my study, soft music without lyrics will soothe me and makemeconcentrate. To me, listening to music can fuel my soul and ultimately lead to a better quality of life.Sample 2Everyone has an instinctive understanding of how music interacts with our moods. Somescientists have found that listening to music can improve our moods. Of all types of music I love classical music most because it gives mepower and comfort. At a time of happiness, classical music creates such a calming atmosphere that I feel completely at peace. When life disappoints me, however, those masterpieces encourage me and give me strength to recover. Specifically, I love Bach' s music best. Somepieces help me concentrate during work while some other pieces assist me in battling insomnia. Listening to classical music fuels my life and leads to a better quality of life.。

Quick, cram the bag under the bed!Part II: Banked ClozeFor ten years, I lived in the city and loved it. Everything was stable, and I didn't have many worries. Then, within one month, I got a(31)promotion at work and my girlfriend and I decided to get married. Suddenly, my life was in (32)transition with big changes ahead!The new position at work was wonderful. I was no longer relegated to the (33)sidelines. My boss was starting to notice all of my hard work! After a (34)lengthy speech about my new responsibilities, my boss took me to my new private office. Fantastic! I didn't have to sit in the (35)rear of the office anymore, behind the copy machine. I loved my job already.My girlfriend also suggested that we move out of the city and buy a house in the suburbs. We had been city (36)dwellers for so long that it was a difficult decision for us to make. On top of that, I was worried about taking out a (37)mortgage for the house. My new job paid better, but our resources were still (38)finite. Finding a down payment would be tough.In the end, we decided to go for it. There's no time like the present, right? With the new job, I could honestly say that I had a (39)budding career, so it felt right to take the plunge and buy a house. After all these changes, we'd be ready to just relax and enjoy life. So, we took on a honeymoon to the (40)coastalCalifornia.Part III: Reading ComprehensionIt would be a fairly accurate statement to say that, when I was in elementary school and high school, I was a painfully shy child.I usually kept to myself, had only a few friends, and rarely spoke in class. My parents were always very busy, so they never pushed me to become more involved in activities and meet more people.I was perfectly happy by myself. I spent much of my time with my nose buried in a book. The only times that I ventured away from the comforts of my bedroom were when I explored the seemingly endless aisles of stocked bookshelves at my favourite bookstore.In retrospect, it was no surprise that I read with such an incredible appetite. Reading was my escape. My favourite books were adventure and travel stories—stories that brought the readers to exotic, unexplored, or dangerous places. These were places I longed to go, and they were adventures I yearned to experience, but I knew it was all just a fantasy. I had a hard time working up the nerve to talk to a fellow classmate, I knew there was no way I could travel around the world and live out one of these adventures. Therefore, I read. I read every book I could find that promised adventure, excitement, or escape. By the time I graduated from high school, I had probably read more books than our school had in its library. It was quite an achievement, but no one knew about it except for me. I told no one because I had no one to tell. My only friend was Justin, and that relationship only existed because we had been next-door neighbors for fifteen years.Like most of my classmates, I applied to college and eventually worked up the courage to go. It wasn't easy. I had lived at home with my parents my whole life, and I rarely ever thoughtabout leaving. However, it had finally become inevitable; I couldn't stay with them forever. I attended a local college and moved out to live in a dormitory with a roommate. It would be an understatement to say that I was nervous. I was terrified.My roommate's name was Greg, and the first few weeks of school were very awkward. He kept trying to start conversations and be friendly. I was able to answer his questions, of course, but I found it difficult to keep the conversation going. I just wasn't used to it—I had no practice at this sort of thing. Then one day I returned from an afternoon class and found him reading a Jack London book. Suddenly, I found that I had a hundred questions to ask Greg. Did he like Jack London? Which was his favourite book? Did he read a lot? What other authors did he like? The list was endless.To my surprise, Greg was also in love with adventure and travel books. One of his dreams was to travel around the world and follow in the footsteps of some of history's greatest explorers. There must have been magic at work that day. It was as if my shyness suddenly disappeared. Greg and I talked for hours about our favourite books and dreams of travel. I also found it easier to talk to other people at school and make friends since that day. I felt like the world opened up to me. So many things suddenly seemed possible. In fact, Greg and I are planning a great adventure for this summer! It may have taken me a while, but I finally found a way to break out of my shell and start enjoying life.41. Which of the following is a rite of passage that helped the writer to become less shy?A. Attending high school.B. Reading many books.C. Attending college.D. Planning a great adventure.42. In which paragraph does the author compare his desire to read to hunger?A. Paragraph 1.B. Paragraph 2.C. Paragraph 4.D. Paragraph 5.43. Which of the following would make the best title for this passage?A. A Painfully Shy ChildB. My College LifeC. Travels with GregD. Breaking Out of My Shell44. "It would be an understatement to say that I was nervous.I was terrified." What does the writer mean by this statement?A. He wasn't nervous at all.B. He was mildly nervous.C. He was as nervous as usual.D. He was extraordinarily nervous.45. Which of the following statements can you infer from the passage?A. Jack London wrote exciting stories.B. Jack London wrote dull stories.C. Jack London wasn't a famous writer.D. Jack London was the writer's favourite writer.Unit 21.

Don't try to reason with a child—you won't get very far.30. Once again, Greg was left out of the decision.Part II: Banked ClozeWhen I was a child, my best friend Joseph and I would play a game called "Super Secret Spy." Sometimes I would play the spy and Joseph would play the (31)villain, and sometimes we would reverse the roles. Make-believe games like this were my favourite, and I remember that many summer days were (32)largely spent outside, playing Super Secret Spy.Every time we played, the story had to be different. We played so much that, needless to say, some of the stories got quite (33)bizarre. Eventually, Super Secret Spy was like a science fiction movie; the stories took place on other planets and one of us was an alien. Sometimes, we would wear old Halloween masks so the (34)resemblance to an alien was remarkable!I remember one day in particular. Joseph was the alien and he captured me on a (35)barren, empty planet (my backyard). He threw me in "alien prison" (behind a big tree) and (36)giggled with mischievous delight. At first, I felt all alone and (37)helpless. Then I pulled myself together and remembered that I was the Super Secret Spy!I thought of my escape plan. When Alien Joseph came to check on me in the alien prison, I (38)whirled around quickly and grabbed his alien laser gun. In a (39)blaze of laser fire, I ran past my captor and escaped the alien prison! I was free! Super Secret Spy had won again!Just then, Joseph and I both realized that it was late afternoon, the sun was setting, and (40)twilight was upon us. We were both hungry, so we were incredibly happy when my mother called us inside for dinner. Even SuperSecret Spies and aliens need to eat!Part III: Reading ComprehensionWhen we're young, we can't wait to grow up and get on with life. When we're adults, we long for the carefree days of our youth when we could play all day without worry. This is one of the greatest ironies of life. Indeed, "the grass is always greener on the other side." It is a harsh truth that humans always want what they can't have. It's our nature.That's why it's good practice to instill in our children a healthy respect for childhood. Too many adults seem to be in a hurry for children to grow up. We always ask them, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" We repeatedly tell them, "You can do/have that when you're older." We continually encourage them, "When you grow up, the world will be yours and you can make your dreams come true." It's no wonder, then, that children seem to be in such a rush to grow up, get older, and demand everything that we tell them is coming to them.Children should be free to play the day away. We should encourage them to use their imagination, create entire worlds in a cardboard box, and explore their backyard as if they were exploring an undiscovered country. You cannot put a price on anactive and fertile imagination, nor can you overestimate the value of an inquisitive mind, a respect for the environment, and an urge to question why everything is as it is. These traits are all developed and nurtured when we're children and, without them, we would not be able to function as adults in the modern world.Research has shown that children are happiest and healthiest when they have the freedom to act like children. This may seem obvious, but it's often forgotten as parents push their children to study harder, practice longer, and essentially act like adults. It's important to remember that children are constantly learning.。

Active reading (2)Language points1 These changing ideas about children have led many social scientists to claim that childhood is a“social construction”. (Para 4)A social construction refers to the process or result of creating an idea or system of behaviour in socialcontexts, ie it is created and developed between people and is not something natural or genetic.Childhood memories Unit 2532 Social anthropologists have shown this in their studies of peoples ... (Para 5)Social anthropologists are scholars and researchers who study human societies, customs and beliefsfrom a social perspective, which may be distinct from the focus of physical anthropologists or linguisticanthropologists.3 Because they can’t be reasoned with, and don’t understand, parents treat them with a great deal oftolerance and leniency. (Para 5)Tolerance is the attitude of someone who is willing to accept other people’s beliefs or way of life withoutcriticizing them even if they disagree with them. The word leniency means giving a punishment or actingin a way that is not as severe or harsh as it could be.4 They are seen as being closer to mad people than adults because they lack the highly prized qualityof social competence … (Para 6)Something is prized if it is considered to be very important or valuable. The examples in the passageemphasize how different cultural communities may give importance to quite different qualities which theyexpect from children, so the children are brought up very differently.5 They are regularly told off for being clumsy and a child who falls over may be laughed at, shoutedat, or beaten. (Para 6)To tell someone off means to criticize someone angrily for doing something wrong. If you are told off fordoing something in a serious or official way, you are reprimanded.6 Looking at it from a cross-cultural perspective shows the wide variety of childhoods that exist acrossthe world … (Para 11)A cross-cultural perspective is a view which considers different cultures separately or independently andthen makes comparisons. An intercultural perspective would look at the relations and interactions betweendifferent cultures or communities, taking inside views of each culture into account. A transculturalperspective would look at different cultures using knowledge, skills and insights which are thought toapply to a wide range of cultural contexts and which would help people in intercultural contexts.Reading and understanding3 Read the passage again and complete the table.Teaching tips• When Ss have completed the table on their own, divide the class into seven groups, each groupbeing responsible for one row in the table. They have to summarize the characteristics of childhoodof this ethnic group, and also include an example. Then they report to the class. Each group shouldalso add related information they learned from the passage, and the language and culture notes. Thepresentation of each group could be given from that exact roles of parents from that exact cultural orethnic group. If this is difficult, T may give each group a copy of the example below, and ask them topractise and present it to the class.• As a way to follow this up, T can ask each group, one by one, to compare their result with that ofanother group, without looking at their books. An alternative follow-up is for the T, together withone or two Ss, to take the roles of TV reporters who meet each group and ask them ―on camera‖ tocompare themselves with another group, and talk about how they understand the other group from across-cultural perspective.Unit 2 Childhood memories544 Choose the best way to complete the sentences.1 The characteristics of childhood a hundred years ago (d) .(a) would have interfered in their education(b) are similar to those of today(c) would be illegal today(d) meant that children were treated more like adults2 The idea that childhood is a social construction suggests that (a) .(a) children experience childhood in different ways according to the society in which they live(b) enormous transformations have taken place within a relatively short time(c) children in the past worked harder(d) all children are different from adults3 Both Inuit and Tongan parents understand that (b) .(a) their children need to be treated in a way which would be considered harsh by outsiders(b) their children don’t yet possess certain prized qualities, such as reasoning and social competence(c) growing up is a process of acquiring thought, not social skills(d) bringing up their children requires tolerance and discipline4 Parents of Beng children treat them with great care because they (d) .(a) think children know all human languages and understand all cultures(b) think life in the earthly world is unpleasant(c) believe the children still live in a spirit world(d) fear the children may choose to return to the spirit world where they lived before they were born5 Western childcare practices (c) .(a) include allowing eight-year-old girls to work and 12-year-old girls to marry(b) treat the child in a bizarre and possibly harmful way(c) see the child as being incompetent, dependent on the parents, and incapable of looking after other children(d) are only similar to Yanamamö childcare practices in that girls help out at home, and boys are allowedto play well into their teens6 The main idea of the passage is that (c) .(a) history shows us how our perception of childhood has changed(b) childhood is viewed in different ways according to the child’s cultural and social upbringing(c) both history and society can affect our perception of childhood(d) Western notions of childhood are outdated and not informed(continued)Unit 2 Childhood memories56Dealing with unfamiliar words5 Read the passage again and find the words in the box.

Inthe West we see children as being (3) in need of adult control. However, among other (4) socio-culturalgroups with similar traditions children are (5) mainly considered to be capable of assuming greaterresponsibilities. So there is a (6) strong desire for (7) someone who does not belong to this group tothink that such practices might be odd or even harmful. But while most ethnic groups may at first show(8) hesitation about integrating other traditions and customs with their own, (9) outside pressures usuallymake them change their traditional view of childhood.Key: (1) notion (2) continual (3) dependent on (4) ethnic (5) largely(6) temptation (7) an outsider (8) reluctance (9) external7 Answer the questions about the words and expressions.1 Is prosecution likely to be (a) the act of accusing someone of a crime, or (b) the process of supervisionby the social services?Childhood memories Unit 2572 Is intricate likely to be (a) very basic, or (b) very detailed in design?3 Is leniency likely to involve (a) kindness and understanding, or (b) strict discipline?4 If someone tells you off, are they (a) criticizing, or (b) praising you?5 Is a mischievous child likely to (a) be well behaved, or (b) enjoy having fun by causing trouble?6 If a child is wilful, are they likely to cause damage or harm (a) deliberately, or (b) by mistake?7 When a child is unsupervised, are they likely to be (a) looked after by adults, or (b) without an adultlooking after them?8 Is something bizarre likely to be (a) strange and difficult to explain, or (b) very usual?

In the magic whirling of his cape I could hear the wings of a hundred seagulls, the motors of athousand planes.我的飞行梦像达利的风景画那么真实可信,以致于自己常常会在一阵惊吓中醒来,好像伊卡罗斯那样从空中摔下来,虽然发现自己刚好掉到软软的床上,但也被吓得喘不过气来。
