I still needed a lot of things. So, every day, I had to work hard to make them.
First of all, I wanted to make my cave（山洞）bigger. I carried out stones from the cave，and after working hard for many days ,I had a large cave in the side of the hill. Then I needed a table and a chair, and that was my next job. I had to work on them for a long time. I also wanted to make places to put all my food, and all my tools and guns. But every time I wanted a piece of wood, I had to cut down a tree. It was long, slow, difficult work , and during the next months I learnt to be very clever with my tools.
I also went out every day, and I always had my gun with me. Sometimes I killed a wild animal, and then I had meat to eat.
But when it got dark, I had to go to bed because I had no light. I couldn't read or write because I couldn't see. For a long time, I didn't know what to do. But in the end, I learnt how to use the fat of dead animals to make a light.
The weather on my island was usually very hot, and there were often storms and heavy rain.The next June, it rained all the time, and I couldn’t go out very often. I was also ill for some weeks, but slowly,I got better. When I was stronger, I began to go out again.The first time I killed a wild animal, and the second time I caught a big turtle.
I was on the island for ten months before I visited other parts of it. During those months 1 worked hard on my cave and my house and my fence.
One day I travelled across to the other side of the island and I could see the other islands. I said to myself, “Perhaps I can get there with a boat. Perhaps I can get back to England one day.”

Do you always feel lonely When do you feel lonely Is loneliness a good feeling Nowadays more and more people are having this kind of feeling in their daily life. When someone feels lonely, he or she will have an experience of being alone because of low levels of social contact and relationships.
There are two kinds of loneliness: emotional loneliness and social loneliness. Emotional loneliness is about the relationship between parents and their children. When children leave their parents for a while, they usually show the pain, such as crying and trying to search for their parents. Therefore, emotional loneliness is caused by leaving a person that someone is close to, such as a parent. On the other hand, social loneliness is the loneliness that one experiences when he or she leaves a wide social network. One doesn’t feel that he or she is a member of a group, or one doesn’t have friends to talk to when he or she is sad.
Besides, loneliness is different from being alone. Being alone is about not having contact with people. But loneliness is a subjective experience: if people think they are lonely, then they are lonely. People can be lonely when they are alone, or in a group. What makes people lonely is the fact that they want more social interaction(社交). People can be in a group and feel lonely because they don’t get to talk to enough people. On the other hand, one can be alone and not feel lonely, though there is no one around him or her. That person is not lonely because maybe he or she doesn’t want to have social interaction at that time.
So, what about you Will you feel lonely if you stay alone Or you just enjoy the time being with yourself.
42.Why did the writer start the passage with questions
A. To let readers answer these questions.
B. To ask for more ideas about loneliness.
C. To make readers interested in the passage.
D. To check students’ understanding of loneliness.
43.From the passage, we can know both a person with emotional loneliness and one with social loneliness____________.
A. have no friends to talk to. B. have a small social network.
C. have a feeling of being lonely. D. like to leave their parents.
44.What does “a subjective experience” mean
A. A hot subject. B. A person’s own feeling.
C. A pain in the body. D. A person’s special plan.
45.What can we learn from the third paragraph
A. One may not be lonely with nobody around.
B. Being alone is an important reason of loneliness.
C. Different people have the same level of social interactions.
D. Staying with group members can make people feel less lonely.

Food waste (食物残渣) is a big problem in Japan and the world. In 2019, Japan had 5.7 million tons of food waste. The government is working on reducing this to 2.7 million by 2030.
Now, University of Tokyo researchers in Japan have thought of a new way that uses food waste in a surprising way. Student Kota Machida and Professor Yuya Sakai say this way can turn food waste into a strong material like cement (水泥). And you can eat it.
Through a process of drying, crushing, and compressing (压缩) the food waste, Sakai and his student Machida had successfully made cement from food waste without plastic(塑料). “The most difficult part was that food waste needs different temperatures and pressure levels（压力水平）,” Sakai said.
The team have used different types of food waste to make the cement, including tea leaves, orange peels, coffee grounds, and leftover lunch materials. They’ve changed flavors with different spices and found the colors, smell and taste of the cement can be quite attractive.
Machida and his two friends have opened a company called Fabula, Inc. They are working with other companies to use the material to make things good for the home. “If we can use this new kind of food cement instead of plastic and cement products, it may help slow global warming and it will be good for our environment,” said Machida.
(1) Can we eat the food waste like cement ___________________________________________________________________
(2) Who had successfully made cement from food waste without plastic ___________________________________________________________________
(3) What was the most difficult part to make the food waste without plastic ___________________________________________________________________
(4) How many types of food waste to make the cement are mentioned ___________________________________________________________________
(5) What do you think of the food cement
___________________________________________________________________
