Sally was a student. It was going to be her mother’s birthday. She wanted to buy her a present that would be nice and useful but not expensive.
A week before her mother’s birthday, she went shopping after a quick and simple lunch. When she had been looking for half an hour, she found a shop that was selling cheep umbrellas(傘), and decided to take a black one, since her mother had lost hers the month before.
She thought, “You could carry that when you are wearing clothes of any color.” So she decided to buy a lovely black umbrella and took it back to school with her until her classes had finished.
On her way back home in the train that evening, she felt hungry because she had such a small lunch that she went along to the buffet car(餐車) for another sandwich and cup of coffee. She had left the black umbrella above her seat in the compartment(車廂), but when she got back, it had gone! When she had left the compartment, there had been no other passengers(乘客) in it, but now there were three.
Sally began to cry when she saw that the umbrella was no longer there. The other passengers felt very sorry for her and asked what the matter was. She told them that the black umbrella she had bought for her mother was gone, and that she had to get out at the next station. After the three other passengers heard it, they asked her for her mother’s address so that they could sent the umbrella to her if someone had taken it by mistake and brought it back after Sally had got out of the train.
The next week, Sally heard from her mother. It said, “Thank you very much for your lovely presents, but why did you send me three black umbrellas?”
小題1:Which of the following is the best for the sentence “You could carry that when you are wearing clothes of any color?”
A.You can carry it when you are wearing any clothes.
B.Any color of your clothes will be all right.
C.The umbrella will be OK for your clothes in any colors.

小題2:What does the story infer(推斷)?
A.Her mother would write to her if she didn’t receive the presents.
B.The three umbrella were sent by the girl.
C.Only four people had ever been to the compartment.
D.Nobody brought the umbrella back.
小題3:How many umbrellas did Sally’s mother get at last?

小題4:The best name of the story is ________.

The Green Magic Tree House, in India, is the perfect hotel for anybody who likes adventure(冒險). Guests must drive for miles through the jungle to find it in the middle of tea and coffee plantation (種植園).
There are two tree houses to choose from, one 30 meters and the other 35 meters above the ground. Both houses have two floors. The bedrooms are above the living area and there are bathrooms and showers. You can get up to rooms and move between floors by using ladders (梯子). You can go from one tree house to the other on a rope bridge. The houses sometimes move about in the wind but the views are fantastic.
Guests can enjoy moving through the jungle, climbing in the mountains, and watching wildlife. There are many unusual plants, birds, and insects in the area.
The Ice Hotel is in Jukkasjarvi, a village in Sweden 200 kilometers north of the Arctic(北極)Circle. Every winter, a team of architects(建筑師), designers and snow builders build the hotel. This year there are 80 rooms.
Everything is made of ice. The walls, the floors, the ceilings(頂棚), and even the furniture are made of ice. The beds are made of ice, too, but guests sleep on warm deer skins.

To spend a night at Jules Underwater Lodge in Florida, guests need to scuba dive (潛水) seven meters under the sea. They enter a small house through a door at the bottom of the building. Inside, the kitchen is stored with food and there is a fridge and a microwave oven(微波爐). There is a hot shower and comfortable beds and lots of books, DVDs and video games.
