Ⅱ.[2019·盐城一模]阅读理解
I remembered I had a gun if I needed it, and turned back towards this man of the island. He was hiding behind another tree but stepped out to meet me.
“Who are you?” I asked, staring at him.
“Ben Gunn,”he answered, and his voice sounded rough and strange.His skin was burnt nearly black by the sun and his clothes were made from pieces of a ship's sail. “Poor Ben Gunn,” he went on. “Alone for three years.”
“Were you shipwrecked(船遇难)?” I asked. “No,my friend,” he said. “Marooned.”
I had heard the word before, and knew it meant a cruel(残忍的) punishment often used by pirates(海盗)—leaving a man alone on some distant, empty island.
“Marooned for three years,” he continued, “living on wild goats and fish. But I'm in a great need for real English food back home. You don't have a piece of cheese, do you? Many nights I've dreamed of cheese.”
He continued. “Well, tell me your name.” “Jim,” I told him.
“Well, Jim,” he said, looking around and lowering his voice to a whisper, “I'm rich.” I was now sure the poor man was crazy,but he repeated his words. “Rich, I say! Now,Jim,that isn't Flint's ship, is it?”
I began to think that I had found a friend, and I answered him at once. “It's not Flint's ship any more. Flint is dead, but there are still some of Flint's men aboard, and that's bad news for us.”
“A man with one leg?” he asked, fear in his voice. “Silver?” I asked.
“Yes,Silver,” he said, “that was his name.”
“He's the cook, and their leader,too.” And I told him the fight between Flint and the cook, and the danger we were now in.

“You're in trouble, Jim,” he said when I'd finished. “Well, Ben Gunn will help you. Will your squire(乡绅) be generous if I do, do you think? I don't want him to give me a job, but will he give me one thousand pounds out of money that's really mine?”
“I'm sure he will,” I said.

Many Chinese mothers are afraid that their children will fall behind their peers(同龄人), so those mothers are becoming “tiger mothers”. They believe the harder their children study, the happier life they will have in the future. Is it true? Lulu and her sister Sophia may have a say.
Lulu and Sophia have a “tiger mother”. She pushed them a lot when they were young. For example, they were not allowed to get grades lower than A's. They had to practice the piano or violin for several hours a day. There were no parties, games or TV.
