After that, we went on down the river. It was very
dark
that night and it
wasn

were going.
Suddenly,
a

steamboat
came
at
us
very

When

I
couldn
’
t
see
Jim
anywhere.
I
called
out his
name again and again, but there was no answer.
“
He
’
s
dead!
”
I
thought.
Slowly, I
swam
to
the
side
of
the
river
and
got
out. I
saw
that
I
was
near
a
big
old
wooden
house.
Suddenly
a
lot
of
very
angry
dogs
jumped
out
at me. They made a terrible noise and someone
called from the house,
“
Who
’
s
there?
”
“
George
Jackson,
”
I answered
quickly.
“I’
ve fallen off a
river
boat.
”
Well,
the
people
who
lived
in
that
house
were
very
kind,
and
they
took
me in
and gave me some new clothes and a good meal. I
told them that my
family were all dead,
so they said I could stay with them as long as I
wanted.
It
was
a
beautiful
house
and
the
food
was
good
there,
so
I
stayed.
A few days later one of the
slaves in the house came to me and said,
“
Come with
me!
”
Together,
we
went
down
to
some
trees
by
the
river.
“
In
there!
”
he said
and went away.
On
the
ground,
I
found
a
man,
asleep.
It
was
Jim!
I
was
really
pleased
to
see
him.
When
the
steamboat
hit
the
raft,
Jim
told
me,
the
raft
didn
’
t
break up. Jim swam after it and caught
it. Then he began to look for me.
We decided to leave at once.
It

s all right living in a

In today’s world we are
always surrounded
(
包围
)
by
technology.
It’s
true
to
say
that
technology
makes
our
lives
easier.
However,
increasingly
scientists
are
saying
that
we
need
to
give
ourselves
a
break
—
otherwise
we
put
ourselves
at
risk
of
developing
hundreds
of
health
problems.
Over
the
summer
the
days
are
longer,
sunnier
and
free
from
school.
With
all this free time, why not put it to good use and
do something that

dog has its day.

has nothing
to do with technology?
To
start with, you could learn a new skill. There are
hundreds of
possibilities: cooking,
learning a musical instrument or a new sport.
Maybe you’ve always wanted to try out
that recipe
(
食谱
)
, but haven’t
had time? Perhaps you like learning how
to knit, so you can have a new
sweater
for the autumn. You could use your free time to
learn something
new
—and
perhaps it’ll lead to an exciting
chance in the future.
If you just
fancy
relaxing, why not go to a beach? Take along your
favourite
book
and
relax
on
the
sand,
or
go
for
a
stroll
along
the
coastline.
If you don’t live
near a beach, you could go to your local park. Why
not
take along a picnic, or try and
know about some of the local wildlife?
Little things, like challenging
yourself to complete a crossword or
a
Sudoku, are a great place to start. You could even
get involved in the
latest
craze:
adult
colouring
books!
Colouring
is
surprisingly
therapeutic
(
治疗的
),
and
it
can
be
a
nice
way
to
get
away
from
the
stress
of modern
life!
You might surprise
yourself and find a hidden talent within you; you
might
make
new
friends
along
the
way.
Next
time
you
find
yourself
aimlessly
channel-changing,
have a think at what else you could spend your
time
doing.
31.
What might you write in your diary if you do as
the writer tells you?
A. I
read an e-book. It was exciting!
B. I learnt to play the guitar. It was

D. to think that sb will win or be

D
Language
changes all the time. New words and phrases
appear and develop. The words and
pronunciations used by
young
people
in
the
UK
can
be
very
different
to
those
used
by
adults.
Living
in
a
multicultural
(
多元文化的
)
society
has an effect on
language, especially on young people, whose
friends are
often from a mix of
backgrounds. TV and music also have big influence
on
the language of the young. Often UK
singers sing in American accents
(
口
音
) without
realizing.
Young
British
people
use
lots
of
language
that
you
usually
can’t
find
in most dictionaries.
These informal words and expressions are known as
‘slang’. It is not
possible
to make a complete list of modern British
slang. By the time the list was
finished, it would be out of date! New
words come and go like fashions.
However, here are a few examples:
Safe
,
sorted
,
sound
,
cool
or
wicked
all mean
“That’s good” or
“I
understand”.
Instead
of
using
different
tag
questions
like
…
isn’t
it?,
can’t
you?
or don’t they?,
people use
innit
.
Instead of saying very,
really or completely, people use
well
.
Whatever
means I
don’t care.
