The book I’d like to share with you is The Old Man and the Sea, written by an American writer Ernest Hemingway. This book tells about a fisherman who is lucky enough to catch a huge fish at sea, but finds it hard to take it home. On the way back, he has to fight against the fish, and the sea as well.
What I like most about the book is that the fisherman never gives up when meeting with difficulties. I still remember the well-known sentence from the book: Man is not made for defeat. This tells us that nothing seems terrible as long as we have a strong will and a brave heart.

二、阅读理解（16分）（2018·杭州市西湖区模拟）
The camel is one of the stran-gest and oldest animals living today. Scientists believe that millions of years ago, ancestors of camels lived in North America. There was a bridge of land over the Bering Strait that led to Asia. One group of animals moved to Asia. These animals developed into the camels of today. Another group went to South America. This group developed into the llama, an animal in the same family as the camel.
There are two types of camels, the dromedary and Bactrian. The dromedary has one hump and is found mostly in Arabian countries. The Bactrian camel has two humps and is found in Asian countries. All drome-dary camels today are domesticated（驯养）. Bactrian camels can still be found in the wild in areas of Mon-golia and China. The Bactrian camel is shorter and heavier than the dromedary. Also, the pads on its feet are thicker so that it can walk in colder, rockier places than the dromedary.
The camel has many interesting characteristics. For example, unlike most animals, it lifts both feet on one side at the same time when it runs. This causes it to rock from side to side when it runs. Another unusual characteristic is the camel’s ability to eat almost any-thing if it becomes hungry enough. It might even eat part of a tent or a basket if it cannot find the grass it prefers.
Camels are the best pack animals in the world. They can carry things as heavy as 600 pounds 25 miles a day. They can also go without water for as long as two weeks in winter.
You might think that a camel stores some food and water in its hump or humps. This is what human beings thought for many years, but it is not true. A camel’s hump is made of fat and muscle. If a camel has to go without food for several days, it can use the fat in its hump for energy. The camel keeps water in its tissue cells（组织细胞）. Its body does not use the water to cool off the way the human body does. That is why a camel’s body temperature can change, by as much as 11℃.

My Mother’s Diaries Make Me Change
I used to be a naughty boy and my mother used to be angry with me. Now I’d like to say I’ve changed a lot. In fact, it is because of my mother’s diaries.
One day I saw my mother’s diary book by accident while I was looking for my notebook. I was curious and began to read my mother’s diaries. In her diaries, she showed her deep love for me. She also expressed her disappointment when I made mistakes. She said she loved me so much and she believed I could be a good boy. I couldn’t help crying after reading my mother’s diaries. Since that day, I have changed a lot. I work hard and share some housework. I also try to understand my mother’s feelings.
I feel very proud of myself whenever I see the smile on my mother’s face.
