二、阅读理解（共4篇，每篇5小题，每小题2分，满分40分）
（A）
Many students have hobbies, such as reading, painting, growing vegetables in their gardens, and looking after animals. Some hobbies are relaxing and others are creative(有创造性的). Hobbies can make you grow as a person, develop your interests and help you learn new skills.
David Smith is a student, and his hobby is writing. During the summer of 2000, he spent four weeks on a summer camp. As well as the usual activities, such as sailing, climbing and mountain biking, there was a writing workshop with a professional writer. “She asked us to imagine that we were in a story. Then we wrote about our experiences at the camp.”
In senior high school David wrote a story about teenage life, and it came out as a book in 2003. Many teenagers love his book, and as a result, David has become a successful young writer.
David has been very lucky because his hobby has brought him enjoyment and success. But he is also interested in many other things. “I like playing volleyball, too.” says David. “I spend some of my free time playing volleyball for my school team. Maybe I'll write more books in the future, but I'm not sure.”
It's sometimes difficult to remember that we shouldn't spend all our time on our favorite hobby. There are many other interesting things to do in life, and we should try to do something new or different.

Dear Mom and Dad,
I'm afraid I have some very bad news for you. I have been very naughty(淘气的) and the school principal(校长) is very angry with me. She is going to write to you. You must come and take me away from here. She does not want me in the school any longer.
The trouble started last night when I was smoking a cigarette(香烟) in bed. This is against the rules, of course. We are not supposed to smoke at all.
As I was smoking, I heard footsteps(脚步声) coming towards the room. I
did not want a teacher to catch me smoking, so I threw the cigarette away.
Unfortunately(不幸地), the cigarette fell into the waste-paper basket. It caught fire.
There was a curtain near the waste-paper basket. It caught fire, too. Soon the whole room was burning.
The principal phoned for the fire department. The school is a long way from the town and by the time the fire department arrived, the whole school was in flames(火焰). Many of the girls are in the hospital.
The principal says that the fire was all my fault(过错) and you must pay for the damage(损失). She will send you a bill for about a million dollars.
I'm very sorry about this.
Much love,
Sarah
