It’s been nearly 40 years since I became a member of the navy. You may be wondering how I have won so many honors as a commander-in-chief. In fact, it all began from the half a 16 basic training, which I will never forget, The training included midnight swims in the cold water, days without 17 and long painful runs in the soft sand, I always felt cold, wet, sleepy and

The training also needed to find those who could 18 in an environment of stress, mess, failure and hardships. To me, the basic training was a lifetime of challenges that lasted six months.

So if you have an awful day by accident, you will come home to a bed that is made-that you made-and a made bed gives you encouragement that tomorrow will be better.

Do you like reading? Today let me share something about reading in China.

The newly national reading report shows that 80 percent of Chinese adults read books, newspapers or magazines in 2018, a year-on-year increase.

Li Yang, a student in Beijing, used to be worried by piles of books as her house is too small. The problem was solved when she started to sell the used books on an online second-hand bookstore Deja Vu. “By selling them, most of my books which used to gather dust in the corner can come to life again.” she said.
According to a survey by giant Alibaba in 2018, the market for the second-hand book was
英语试卷 第5页（共30页）
booming last year as more Chinese tend to trade or exchange their used books online.
The rise of online second-hand book platforms and sharing ideas also contributed to the booming book recycling.
Users are able to sell their books by scanning the barcode(扫条形码)of books and then wait for the courier(快递员)to collect them. The collected books will be cleaned, disinfected (消毒)and packed before selling to other readers at a lower price.
According to Deja Vu, its total users hit l.4 million in 2018, with 2 million used books being sold.

When I was young, I lived in Scotland with my parents. I had a good time there. One morning, I ran to the garden, and said to the old Scotsman who worked there. “Today I am going up the mountain for berries.”
“No, no, Missey, not today.” he said , “It will rain.”
“No, it will not rain.” I said, “The sun is up. The cook says it will be fine. The glass in the hall does not say rain.”
“Tuts, tuts.” said the old man, “I care for no suns, or cooks, or glasses. The pimpernel (海绿)says it will rain, and so it will rain. Flowers, Missey, always tell the truth. When they say rain, go and get your umbrella.”
Sure enough, by noon the rain was pouring down. After that, I looked with great respect at the tiny flower, sometimes brickred, sometimes blue, which could tell about the weather. But the pimpernel is not the only plant that is a weather prophet.
If you go into the garden, and find the African marigolds shut after seven o’clock in the morning, you may be pretty sure that there will be a rainy day. There is a little single marigold which shuts up in a hurry if the sky becomes clouded. It is called the “rainy-marigold”.
Most plants which we call “weather prophets” shut up for rain. But some plants open for rain. The cause of the opening and closing is probably the difference in light. Most likely these plants shut their flowers because there is too little light.
But you know there are some plants which become smaller in a strong light and love the shade. You will find that most shade-loving plants, as the verbenas, do not close for rain.
Lilies, tulips and other flowers that love the sun shut for rain. Tulips are careful not to open their cups very wide in the morning if it is likely to rain. The roses make no change. They seem not to fear wet.
On the whole, you may be pretty sure, if you go into your garden, and find many flowers-as tulips, marigolds and morning glories-shut, it will be a stormy day, unfit for picnics or long walks.
38. The plants which are “weather prophets” _____.
（ ）
A. become smaller in a strong light
B. tell about the weather

（ ）

（ ）
A. The flowers have four ways to help people to get information about weather. B. The glass in the hall has magic for the writer’s family to know about weather. C. We can know about weather by keeping many roses at home or in the garden. D. Missey will probably know about weather by watching flowers from now on. 41. The passage is mainly about _____.
（ ）
A. watching flowers carefully before going out B. learning to watch flowers from the old Scotsman C. the importance of growing flowers in the garden D. the relationship between some flowers and weather
D
We never forget when Perronet came to us. It was on a spring afternoon. We never knew who drowned Perronet, but David pulled him out of the water and saved his life, People sometimes asked us what kind of dog he was, but we never knew, except that he was the nicest possible kind. Mother said we could not afford him because of the tax(税)and his keep. The tax was five shillings(先令), but it was nearly a year before the time when it must be paid. At last, we decided that all three of us would give up sugar toward saving the cost of his keep. It was the hardest for David because he was fond of sweet things, but then, he was fond of Perronet. So we all gave up sugar, and Perronet was allowed to remain.
We were very happy that summer. The boys were especially happy. The only thing that vexed me was Perronet’s tax money, for months and months went on and we didn’t save it. One day, I found David alone with Perronet in his arms. He was crying, and feeding Perronet with

I can’t bear to see boys cry. I begged of David to stop, and told him I should certainly think of something.
One day, we were all in school. The schoolmaster told us that there was to be a flower show for the school children this year, and that an old gentleman would give prizes to the best arranged wild flowers. There was to be a first prize of five shillings, and a second prize of a half crown, for the best collection of wild flowers, with their names upon them. I squeezed(挤)David’s arm, and whispered, “Five shillings!”
I thought I could never get my lessons that day, for all day I was thinking about Perronet’s tax money. At night, I said to them, “Look here! I’ll make a collection of flowers. You two can make a collection of mosses(苔藓). There are ten kinds of mosses by the river, and we have names of our own for them.” The boys agreed. Richard made me a box. We put wet sand at the bottom, then feather moss, and into that I stuck the flowers. I got all the flowers and all the grasses ready and printed the names on pieces of cardboard, to stick in with them. I didn’t like it when it was done, but Richard praised it and that cheered me. I thought their mosses were beautiful.
The day of the flower show was very hot. When we reached the tent, it was filled with grown-up people. It was very hard work getting about and trying to see the stands with flowers. We kept seeing tickets with “First Prize” and “Second Prize”. It made me feel sick with heat and anxiety, to think of them. We had walked slowly all round the tent. We had seen all the cucumbers, onions, lettuce, grapes, long potatoes, round potatoes and everything else. At last we saw my collection! It had a label on it, marked “First Prize”, and next to it came the boy’s moss, marked “Second Prize”. We cried “Perronet is paid for!” 42. The meaning of the underlined word “Vexed” is close to “_____”.
（ ）
