 阅读理解

My name is Robinson Crusoe, and I was born in the city of York in 1632. My father was a successful businessman. I had two elder brothers. One of them worked in the army(军队) and was killed during the war against Spain. The other was missing one day, and we never knew what had happened to him. My father gave me a good education and wanted me to be a lawyer(律师). 

However, I wanted to be a sailor(海员) and go to sea. My father was very angry with me. He didn't understand why I wanted to leave his house, where I would have an easy and comfortable life.

"Two kinds of people go to sea, " he said. "They are the very poor people and the very rich people. The poor are foolish, having no other ways to live. The rich own ships and can make money with them. You are neither too poor nor too rich, so you should stay at home with your mother and me. Your elder brother didn't listen to me, and now he is dead. If you do not listen to me, you will have a difficult life!"

I tried to do what he wanted me to do, but I couldn't. I spoke to my mother.

"Please ask Dad if he will let me have one voyage(航行) by sea, " I asked her. "When I return, I will live the life he wants me to live. "

Mum was angry. "Your father will not let you go. I don't want you to go to sea either. It's dangerous. "

I argued(争吵) with my parents for another year. Then, I went to Hull with a friend who was going to London by ship. He invited me to go with him, and I agreed. I didn't even tell my parents before leaving. I just went. That was how all my bad luck began.

Charlotte volunteered in a store that sold secondhand goods. People brought in things to1 . Some of them were stuffed toys(毛绒玩具). Charlotte could tell that the toys held sentimental(情感的) value. So she felt sad when they were sold 2 at a low price. Sometimes without any buyers, they were just 3 .

One night when she got home from work, Charlotte started doing research. She4 this wasn't happening only in her town. Worldwide, she learned, millions of stuffed toys become 5 é very year.

Day and night, Charlotte was 6 thinking about the problem." If we can change the 7 in people's mind that stuffed toys are useless once they are not loved," she says," then we can show people the toys don't lose their 8 if they are given to others." That's 9 the Loved Before toy- adoption program began.

People can donate toys 10 the mail, or by taking them to the company in the United Kingdom.

The 11 owner writes down the toy's name and a story about it, including the 12 favorite things to do and an adventure it has been on. Charlotte and her team like to share what makes the toy 13 . They think it helps the buyers understand its value.

Every Monday, toys are posted for adoption on the website. The company makes a14 donation from each sale. Nowadays, Loved Before has sold lots of stuffed toys. But the company's15 is more than" just trying to save some toys from landfills(垃圾填埋场)," Charlotte says. She explains that Loved Before hopes to teach kids" about the value of loving secondhand things again, in the hope that it will go far beyond the idea of teddy bears."
