Then one year, my grandma gave me a book for Christmas. It was all about making candles and I loved it. I was 14, and I didn’t have to go to the market 40 because my mother could leave me at home on my own. I 41 my free time making candles of all shapes and sizes. I made 42 them.
One day, my mother was ill, so I had to go to the market on my own. I decided to 43 some candles with me and see 44 I could sell them. They 45 in 20 minutes! The next week, my mother gave me some money to buy some wax (蜡) to make more candles. They were sold out really quickly, too.
Ten months later, we decided 46 flowers. My mother and I couldn’t make enough candles during the week, so some of my friends started to help us. I paid them one pound 47 every candle, and we 48 sell them for three or four times. It was fun and my friends worked with me in the market.
At the age of 22, my uncle 49 me some money and I opened my first shop in Portobello Road. Since then, I’ve 50 looked back, even in difficulties. In the first store, we only sold candles, but now we sell everything from the designer, furniture to paintings. Oh, and candles, of course.

解析1. B此题是母亲不能把我一个人留在家里，leave在这里是留的意思，从下文because my mother could leave me at home on my own也可知道用leave。
2. B这两句是因果关系，故用so。
3. A 刚开始时，begin with是固定搭配。
4. D母亲讲故事，让我觉得不会很无聊，get bored感觉无聊。
5. D此题考查not…any more“不再的”，它与be动词，情态动词或助动词连用。
6. C此题考“花费”的四个词，spend….(in) doing sth符合题意，人作主语；take用it作形式主语，后面接不定式。pay一般是pay…for,人作主语；而cost是作作主语。
7. A本题考数词的用法，一个大约的数在百后加s和of,而具体的数则不加。
8. A此题考查take…to,指从近带到远；而bring…to是从远带到近，故选A。
9. D带蜡烛的目的是看是否有人买不，故选if,此处if相当如whether“是否”。
10. C此处考被动语态，由be+过去分词，sell out指卖光了，从下文They were sold out really quickly, too也可知道选C。
11. D decide to do sth 决定做某事为固定搭配，后面stop to do 停下去做另一件事，stop doing sth停止正在做某事，此处是不卖蜡烛了，因为没能制造足够多的蜡烛。
12. A pay的固定搭配，一般是pay…for,人作主语。
13. B used to 过去常常做某事，be used for被用来做…，be used to doing sth习惯做某事。本题选B。
14. C此时首先考虑有过去时。Lend是借出，borrow是借进，相对于他叔叔是进出去，用lend的过去式lent.
15. C现在完成时，have never从不，决不，指作者从那时起再也不往后看。
阅读快车系列答案I used to be very close to my father when I was a child. He gave me almost everything I wanted. Whenever I quarreled with my mother, I would turn to my father for comfort. He was everything to me.
Time flies like a bird. As I got older, I became silent and found it hard to start a conversation with my father. The gap(代沟) between us began to grow. He had done so much for me but I always took it for granted（理所当然）.
Last time our school gave us two days off, and daddy gave me a ride home on his motorbike. I was tired and fell asleep on his back. Later my mother said he was very happy because it had been a long time since we got close last. Suddenly I felt a little shamed. I realized that I had paid no attention to him a lot during the last few years.
The next day I stayed in bed and when daddy tried to wake me up to have breakfast, I pretended(假装) that I couldn’t hear him. At last he brought a bowl of noodles to my bed, and said, “Come on, dear, have your breakfast and then continue your dream.” I got so angry with him for troubling my sleep that I shouted, “__________.”
As I said this, I sat up quickly, and the bowl of noodles broke on the floor. Hearing the noise, mum came in and shouted at me, “What do you think your father is? Who else treats you as well as he does?”
I was shocked and didn’t know what to say. Finally I rushed with tears all over my face. I went to the pool where I used to go fishing with daddy. A few minutes later, I heard the sound of daddy’s motorbike. He was looking for me worriedly, but he didn’t notice me as I was sitting behind a tall brush.
I didn’t return home until 10 a.m.. The moment my parents saw me, they rushed to me. Mum hugged me tightly and daddy looked at me with worry in his eyes. “Are you hungry, dear?” he said at last. Before I could say anything, he had gone off on his motorbike to buy food for me.
