江苏省常熟市2018–2019学年九年级下学期英语适应性质量监测试卷
Tom Jenkins enjoyed fishing and spent most of his time by the river.
He enjoyed being in the fresh air and being on his own. There was no one to trouble him and the time passed happily for him.
Unluckily, he was not a very good fisherman. He either fished in the wrong place, used the wrong bait(鱼饵)or pulled in his line too quickly. Whatever the reason was, he never caught anything big enough to eat.
However, he did not like to admit this to his wife. He thought she would complain if she knew he was wasting his time. She would try to stop him from going fishing. She might even make him take her shopping. It was very important to Tom, therefore, that she thought he was a good fisherman.
For this reason, on the way home from the river he always visited the local fish shop and bought something. Then he told his wife he had caught it and they had a good fish for their dinner.
One evening, after yet another day's unsuccessful fishing, Tom stopped at the fish shop as usual on his way home. "I'll have three perch(鲈鱼), please," he said to the shopkeeper. "And throw them to me, as usual, so I can tell my wife I caught them."
The shopkeeper laughed and said, "I suggest you take a nice salmon(鱿鱼)instead."
"Oh why?"
"Your wife came in an hour ago and said, "When Tom comes in, make sure he 'catches' a salmon."
TFK Kid Reporter Dahlia Suiter spoke with the writer of Writer to Writer: From Think to Ink.
You just said that you didn't think you'd become a writer. Why?
I didn't know what I would be. There were times when I wanted to be a scientist. I loved reading about biology.
①{#blank#}1{#/blank#}
I never thought about writing stories for adults (成年人). It was always for children because when I was a child, books were so important to me.
②{#blank#}2{#/blank#}
Revision(修改) is my favorite part. If I can add (增加) something surprising at the same time, I'm happy about that, too.
③{#blank#}3{#/blank#}
Writing is hard, and if you're not having fun with it, why do it? "Save ( 保存) what you write" is very important because you may need it. You may need that part you cut.
④{#blank#}4{#/blank#}
I hope the book will open up new places to go with writing.
⑤{#blank#}5{#/blank#}
Yes. Writing can be a good way to discover (发现) yourself. You learn about yourself when you write. Writing also slows your thinking down, and you can make discoveries and go places that you don't expect.
A. Do you think it's very important for kids to practice writing? B. What do you hope kids will learn from Writer to Writer? C. Why did you write "Have fun, and save what you write!" at the end of each part in Writer to Writer? D. What do you enjoy most about writing? E. Why do you write children's books? |
