He climbed up on the wall and jumped down, too. Mr. Brown’s only thought was, “I’m in great danger!” He stood up and shouted, “What do you want? Why are you following me?”
The man was so tired that at first it was difficult for him to speak. “I didn’t know that you were a very good runner,” he said at last, “I have to go to Mr. White’s house, but I don’t know the way.

閱讀理解

　　Many and many years ago an enemy army came north from England to make war on Scotland. The Scots（蘇格蘭人）, a brave people, loved their country very much. They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland. But the enemy was very strong. It seemed that the enemy would win.

　　One night, the leader of Scots led his men to the top of a hill. "We will rest here tonight," he said. "Tomorrow we will fight again. We must win or we will die."

　　They were all tired so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards（衛(wèi)兵）on duty（值勤）, but they too,were very tired, and one by one they also fell asleep.

　　The enemies were not asleep. Quickly they gathered（聚集）at the foot of the hill, Slowly they were up the hill, taking care not to make a sound. Closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. Suddenly, one of them put his foot on a thistle

（薊）. He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a moment they were on their feet and ready for fighting. The fighting was hard, but it didn't last（持續(xù)）long. The Scots beat the enemy and saved their country.

　　The thistle is not a beautiful plant. It has sharp needles（尖刺）all over it. Few people like it. But the people of Scotland like it so much that they made it their national flower.

There is a saying in England which goes; ‘the rain in Spain(西班牙. falls mainly on the plain’. I can tell you now that it is a        . The rain in Spain seems to fall mostly on me. I am spending a year in Galicia and, although it is certainly a beautiful part of the world, I think it rains more than in England.

There are no plains here. It is a coastal area, and clouds and storms directly get pushed in from over the ocean with force. As I write, there is a heavy rain outside. I have three umbrellas. Two big ones and a little one which I keep on me          ,  just in case. Believe me what I tell you is all true.

The problem is that very often, umbrellas offer no help at all. The wind is so strong that even the best umbrella in the world becomes useless.        , I often arrive at work with a dry head and shoulders (protected by my umbrella., but with wet feet and legs. The rain falls hard and fast, and there is no escaping it.

When people from England think of Spain, they imagine beaches and sunshine. Those things are a world away from my experiences here in Galicia. But I’m not        . It is because of all this rain that the countryside here is so green and beautiful. In the town a very nice white wine is made. And there are beautiful beaches here in Galicia, although there probably is         on them at the moment.

And most important of all is the people. They are very friendly here. Most people I have spoken to are helpful. So I think that’s worth having a bit of         for. Anyway, I love my life here in Galicia.

Many textbooks are not written in the kind of English that we speak every day. In fact, sometimes the reading is so difficult that it almost seems like a foreign language. In a way, it is—the language of science. You should not expect to be able to read a difficult science passage the same way you read an interesting story; you should not expect to read it easily and all at once. Instead, you may have to read it several times through, catching on the meaning of difficult words, going back over difficult sentences, and finally putting the whole thing together. Do not be discourages if the whole passage don’t make sense to you at first. You need to pick it apart patiently until you can understand it.
These are the steps to follow when you are reading something difficult:
1. Start to read normally until you run into a sentence that doesn’t make sense to you.
2. When a sentence doesn’t make sense, go back and read it again more slowly.
3. Look for any word you don’t know in the sentence. Try to understand their meanings using word parts and context clues(上下文線索). If necessary, look them up in the dictionary.
4. Look at the next few sentences to see if they explain more about the sentence you are working on. Do not read very much farther ahead until you understand what is being said.
5. Finally, read the sentence again. Try to put it into simpler words.
6. Read through the passage once. Try to understand all the hard parts well. Then read the whole passage once more at a usual speed. This helps you to put all ides together.
The stops sound a lot harder than they are. It is really just the normal way good readers understand anything that is difficult to read. After you have done the best you can this way, you should always feel free to ask for help from your teacher, if you have one.
【小題1】The underlined phrase “run into” means ___________.

A．work out

D．pass by

【小題2】 From the passage, we can know _________.

A．we should look up new words before reading

C．the six steps are helpful in learning spoken English

D．interesting stories help readers to improve their English
