10、worst days of any summer are the rainy ones. We spend all year looking forward to nice weather and long, hot days. All of winter, with its cloudy days and bitter cold, we dream of those endless days at the beach, lying on the sand and enjoying the bright and burning sun. And then, summer comes, and

11、it rains. As a child, I would wake up to rainy summer days and come close to crying. It wasnt fair. We suffered through months of school and experienced bad weather for those short ten weeks of freedom and pleasant weather. On those rainy summer days, I had nothing fun to do and could only sit insid

12、e, staring out at the rain like a bird in a cage. I was an only child, so there was no one else to play with. My father worked from home, so I was not truly alone, but he could not actively play with me since he was at work. It was those days that I would watch whatever was on television or read any

13、 books that I could find lying around. Id drag through the day and pray each night that the rain would not be there the next day.As an adult, though, my opinion of summer rain has changed. When you have to work every day, summer is not as exciting. Everything seems dull. Such a mindset makes you che

14、er for anything new or different. I spend the winter dreaming of summer and the summer dreaming of winter. When summer comes, I hate how hot it is.

17、he can better deal with his holidayBWhen my daughter Sally was five, I bought Grimms Fairy Tales and read Snow White to her one night. At the end of the original Grimm tale, Snow Whites stepmother is made to put on red-hot iron shoes and dance until she falls down dead.This came as something of a sh

18、ock. I always thought fairytales had happy endings. And I didnt want my five-year-old daughter going to sleep thinking: “Thank goodness they tortured (折磨) that old woman to death.” Thats when I decided to write fairy tales.In the years that followed, I wrote tales non-stop and read them to Sally at

19、bedtime. The Corn Dolly was based on a child who was always complaining; The Silly King was just a silly story Sally loved; I wrote The Witch and the Rainbow Cat for Sally because of her enormous appetite for stories about witches while Dr Bonocoluss Devil is a new version of the Faust legendNifobob

20、inus, however, was different. I wrote this book when Sally was older and took up all things girls have to do whos friends with who, who stuck a sticker on the back of whose boyfriend, or whatever thing she felt funny.Nicobobinus, the boy who could do anything, came out of my desire for a more innoce

21、nt world. He lived a 1ong time ago, in a city called Venice. Only his best friend, Rosie, knew he could, and nobody took any notice of anything Rosie said, because she was always having wild ideas anyway.Nicobobinus was so different that it turned out to be an instant hit. The Times called me “an au

22、thor setting out to rival the classic fairytales”. I asked Sally what she thought of Nicobobinus. She said it was her favourite.24.

25、underlined word “rival” in the last paragraph can be replaced by _.A. follow B. explore C. challenge D. recommendCYour car is a necessary part of your life. You use it every day. Of course, you want to hold on to it so you make sure it has the latest alarm and immobilizer. But despite all these, car

26、s like yours are still stolen every day. In fact, in this country, one car is stolen almost every minute! And if your car is stolen, you only have a 50:50 chance of seeing it again.Each year, car crime costs nearly 3 billion. Of course, if youre insured, you wont lose out, or will you? Firstly, you

27、will have to pay extra insurance later on, and then you may not be offered the full amount by the agent. You will probably have to hire a car and you will also lose the value of the contents and accessories (配件) in the car.Now comes the solution. An RAC Trackstar system, hidden in one of 47 possible

28、 secret locations in your car, is the key of our system. If your car is stolen, radio signals are sent at twenty-second intervals from the car to the RAC Trackstar National Control Center via a satellite network. Then a computer gives the vehicles exact location, speed and direction.The RAC Tracksta

29、r National Control Center, which operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, will immediately inform the police in the area where the car is located. Because the police receive information every twenty seconds, they will always know the vehicles location. Once the thief has been arrested, your car wil

30、l be returned to you.RAC Trackstar is unique in being able to provide the National Control Center with details of the exact location of your car, its speed and direction. And speed is the key to successful recovery of a stolen vehicle. RAC Trackstar Control will immediately tell the police if you re

31、port your car stolen and under the 24-hour Guardian Option. It will also tell you if your car has been stolen.
