三、阅读理解
A
I saved the grain carefully and finally had enough to plant. I built a wall around my garden to keep the wild goats away.
Then when my crop bore its fruit, the birds discovered it. The birds were not afraid of my dog at all. I shot them but as soon as I walked away, they returned. At last, I killed some birds and hung them among the crop, hoping they would serve as the scarecrows (稻草人), which turned out to be successful. By harvest time, I had nearly two bushels of rice and two and a half bushels of wheat.
With my new grain to store, I found a new problem. The fine grain ran through my baskets. It took me nearly two months to form and dry two ugly pots — one for rice and one for wheat.
Next I formed a clay oven and made some other tools from hard wood and cloth to bake bread. I made and baked bread in my oven. I spent the third year on the island in farming and baking.
Soon after that, I began to think of my days sailing in a tidy boat with Xury. I wished to have a boat and explore the island by sea.
I tried to turn over the ship’s boat that I had seen washed up, but failed. I was still determined to have a boat. So I chose a strong tree and spent weeks cutting it down. Then it took me months to turn it from tree to boat.
When it was time to launch my boat, I realized I had made it too far from the nearest stream. The boat was far too heavy for me to move. I tried bringing the water to the boat instead of the boat to the water. I soon saw it would take me twenty years of constant labor.
I celebrated my fourth year on the island with two boats, but I was no closer to a sea journey.

答案：
Our school asks us to spend three hours on self-reading every day in the summer vacation. However, opinions are divided on what to read.
Some think we should choose the full-length reading, such as works of literature and scientific books. Because they can help develop our reading habits. Others think that we should read practical essays, such as social news and knowledge about life. Because they can help us learn more about the world. At the same time, we will find life interesting for us through reading them.
In my opinion, I would like to choose practical essays. On the one hand, they can help us deal with our life problems. On the other hand, social news can let us know what happens every day around the world.
