  Treasure Island isn’t a true story, but the characters do seem to leap out of the pages alive, armed to the teeth and ready to go treasure hunting.But you will find, as you read this book, that although pirates can be murderous and treacherous(奸诈的), they can also be cowardly, superstitious, and easily led.As it turns out, that is fortunate for Jim Hawkins.

  It's a brilliant story.Billy Bones, a retired seaman, comes to live at the Admiral Benbow inn.Jim is just a boy, but he can see that Billy Bones is a nervous man, always on the look-out for strangers arriving at the inn.And well he might be nervous, because he carries with him in his battered old sea-chest a map drawn by Captain Flint himself giving the whereabouts of all Flint's buried treasure! Captain Flint!-the most feared pirate ever to roam the high seas.

  Well, Flint is dead, but there are plenty of men who served with Captain Flint still alive who feel they have a fair claim to the treasure.The map, though, ends up in the possession of Jim Hawkins -(it's a near thing, read the book to see how that happens).

  Jim tells the secret in the local doctor, who quickly join forces to acquire a ship and crew and provisions to sail for Treasure Island.

  There's a famous scene where Jim, hiding in the apple barrel on deck, discovers that mutiny(叛乱)is planned.It's a bad moment.The numbers suggest that the pirates are going to have it all their own way.There are nineteen mutineers and seven honest men, including Jim.

  And now, you will have to read the book for yourself.This is a fantastic tale of cheat, bravery and cowardice.I don't know how things would have turned out if it hadn't been for Jim Hawkins.For it is Jin who single-handedly steals the Hispaniola from under the very noses of the pirates and sails her round the island to a secret beaching place.

  And do you know what happens to Long John Silver, the greatest double-crosser of them all? No? Well, don't expect me to tell you.

  Don't be nervous of reading a 'classic'.I know it was published a long time ago, but that doesn't mean it is difficult to read.There is one piece of advice I will give, though.I don't think this book is ever out of print - there are hundreds of different copies around.If you can, choose a copy with large enough print to be able to read comfortably, and exciting illustrations.It makes all the difference.

  Go ahead! Read the book.I think you'll love it.

Many people have heard stories of the California gold rush during the 19th century, when lots of people went there in search for gold. Panning (淘洗) for gold has a rich and interesting history. Nowadays some people continue to pan for gold in California. Although it cannot be regarded as a method for earning income, taking on gold-panning as a hobby can give you a feeling of being in the old west and get you out into nature.
The only tool that is required to pan for gold is a gold pan. You can use a regular old flat pan, but “officially” gold pans are quite cheap so you may as well buy one that is made for the task. Most sold pans come in either plastic or medal.
Once you have your pan you will want to start practicing your gold panning technique. Panning for gold works because gold is much heavier than most rocks. To pan for gold you add rock and dirt form the bottom of a stream to your pan and then gently let water flow through the pan. The lighter-weight rocks are slowly swept away while any gold will be left behind in the pan.
To start panning for gold, first you will need to find a good location. Try checking maps of your area and old history books to find location where there were gold mines in the past. Even though most of the gold have already been removed, there are likely to be small leftovers that you can find. Once you have found an area that looks promising, look for any small stream or river where you can try out panning for gold.
Panning for gold requires patience and it may be a long time before you hit anything of value. However, it is an enjoyable hobby and provides a great opportunity to get outdoors, so don’t give up too quickly.
【小题1】What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?

A.Where to pan for gold.
B.How gold-panning works.
C.What tools are needed.
D.A promising area for panning.
【小题2】What is the author’s attitude toward modern gold-planning?
A.Opposed.B.Indifferent .C.Positive.D.Neutral .
【小题3】In which part of a newspaper would you probably find this article?
A.Lifestyle.B.Health.C.Travel.D.Sports.

请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意:补全填空应符合语法和搭配要求,每个空格只填一个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。
Most people have some regret that they just can’t seem to get rid of. But holding on to regret about the past that can’t be changed can have a bad impact on the possibility of a happy future. Regret is a waste of time, emotion and energy. To make sure that your life is a successful one, you need to take action to live in a way that you have no regret holding you back.
Some people make very big decisions with very little consideration at all, and as a result they often regret their decisions. Before choosing a college major, getting married or accepting a job, you must carefully consider all conditions and make a conscious decision rather than a careless one. Big decisions aren’t the only ones that require forethought, though. Before you become angry and say something you will regret later, think about what you’re going to say.
Some of things will be easy to do and some will be hard, but keep your eyes on the prize of living a successful life without regret, and you’ll find that achieving your goals might be easier than you think. But don’t just daydream about those goals — make an actual list, written down in black and white, and refer to it now and then to see what you have left to do.
When you’re feeling happy and full of energy, taking care of yourself isn’t a problem. But in those days when you feel like crawling beneath the bed and never coming out again, you still must take care of yourself. You can do what you want and don’t get angry with yourself about your shortcomings. On the contrary, you just admit them and try to change them and move on. Improving your mental health is just as important as taking care of yourself physically.
Keep those who are important to you very close and be sure to let them know how important they are to you. Family, friends, co-workers and people who are as close as your families are your lifelines that you can depend on whenever you need them to help you remember what’s important in life. You should make sure of repairing your relationships with your friends if something bad happens.
Last but not least, learn to give yourself some relaxation(放松) and not to waste your time regretting things you cannot change. Treat those things properly and move on. Life is hard, but it is precious. Don’t waste time regretting the past, or your future will get here before you know it.
