The series of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, written by Jeff Kinney, have sold more than 150 million copies around the world.

The leading character in the series of Diary of a Wimpy Kid is Greg Heffley, a sixth-grade student. The writer describes Greg Heffley’s life in school and his adventures with his friends and family.

Greg Heffley is kind, honest, intelligent and loves to play. He has a head always full of creative ideas. He wants to become popular very much, which is a common dream of kids of his own age. Greg Heffley keeps his diary in a notebook, with humorous words and funny pictures.  

Greg Heffley lives in an ordinary family with his parents and two brothers. His best friend is Rowley Jefferson. Because of his everlasting desire to be cool, Greg Heffley is pursuing some funny tasks all the time. However, Greg finds himself always at the wrong place and time. Although it looks like that everything is against him, Greg is just an ordinary kid going through his troubled childhood years.  

Jeff Kinney first came up with the idea for Diary of a Wimpy Kid in 1998 but it wasn’t until six years later that the comic book was first published as an online comic which later turned to a book edition because of its great popularity. Now Jeff has just released his ninth book called The Long Haul.

This time Greg and his family are going on holiday. As they set off, a series of troubles come one after another. They are caught in a traffic jam for a long time. Dad gets really nervous around high bridges. Somehow a seagull breaks into their car, flying around, looking for cheese…

Why is this book so funny? The author writes about what actually happens or what will happen in our family trips. The reason we laugh on reading these stories is that we see ourselves there.

(B) The Great Barn Adventure

One morning when I was 11, I explored the town’s abandoned round grain barn（谷仓）. I found a chained sliding door that was wide enough for me to pass through.

Inside, there was a heavy smell of dead mice in the dark. After my eyes adjusted, I noticed a shaft (升降机井) that rose all the way to the top of the barn. On one side was a one-man elevator with a long rope and roller.

I stepped onto the platform and gave the rope a drag and the elevator began sliding up the shaft, but stopped halfway. After a brief panic attack, I noticed holes in the wall at regular intervals, forming a ladder. For reasons known only to an 11-year-old, I decided it would be better to go up than down. So, with shaking hands, I began climbing the wall.

After what seemed like forever, I reached the top of the shaft. I stood up, dusted myself off and found absolutely nothing of interest. It was just an empty room with a ladder leading up to the roof. I climbed all the way up here for this? Then I noticed a fire extinguisher（灭火器）,which I’d always wanted to shoot off. So this was the chance of a lifetime. I tried it, and, much to my surprise, the thing worked! It shot out a thick cloud of powder that instantly filled the room. I couldn’t breathe. I was going to choke to death, and they’d probably never even find my body.

Luckily, I remembered the ladder to the roof. I climbed up, popped the straw roof and saw a bright blue sky.

I suddenly realized the dust and powder pouring out of the top could draw attention. So when the dust had settled, I climbed down and slipped out of the chained door. I’m not sure if I was more excited about being alive or about not being caught, but I ran all the way back home.

72. Which of the following is the right order of the author’s adventure?

a. The elevator stopped halfway.

b. He entered the round grain barn.

c. He climbed to the top of the shaft.

d. He found a fire extinguisher and shot it off.

A. b-a-c-d B. a-c-b-d C. c-a-d-b D. b-c-a-d

The Labrador (拉布拉多猎犬) has won the honor of the most popular breed (品种) for the past eighteen years. It has been described as gentle, clever and friendly. Yet not all Labs are the same.

John Grogan discovered this after he and his wife adopted a Labrador that they named Marley. The dog caused Mr. Grogan a lot of trouble, but it also provided a lot of 75 for his newspaper articles. Later, he wrote a best-selling book, “Marley and Me: Life and Love with the World’s 76 Dog.”

And he had a great fear of loud noises, especially thunderstorms. 77 , the Grogans lived in Florida where many thunderstorms develop. Marley would attack the furniture, walls and doors until his feet bled if he was left alone in the house during a thunderstorm. Marley almost 78 their home several times.

John Grogan said that at first he considered that probably his dog could be trained to be a show champion. But he soon realized that was impossible. Marley didn’t like to learn skills that didn’t belong to dogs, and dog training school 79 him for causing troubles for other dogs.. He didn’t want to hide his emotions. He would show his anger and tiredness if he felt them.

80 , Marley still had earned a place in the Grogans’. He didn’t know how to dance, and he didn’t know how to walk on its two legs, but he was what he was. He would never be a Lassie or a Benji or an old Yeller for he would never like to take part in a dog show, but the Grogans accepted him and loved him very much.
