When Gulliver woke up, he found himself lying on a strange beach. He tried to stand up at once, but he could not move at all. His arms, legs and long hair were tied tightly to the ground with thin ropes. He felt very nervous and looked down in surprise.
To his great surprise, he saw a very small man walking on his body. The man was less than six inches tall and held a small bow and arrow in his hand. He looked up at Gulliver and shouted in a high, clear voice. Soon, more and more tiny men climbed up his arms and chest. They were all shouting loudly and moving nervously.
Gulliver did not know what to do. He tried to break free and pull one hand free, but the ropes were too strong. One of the small men came closer and spoke to him in a strange language. Gulliver could not understand a single word. Then he felt something sharp touch his hand, so he had to stop moving.
Gulliver was already tired out after the strong storm and the long swim. His ship had crashed against the rocks before he reached the land. He felt so weak that he decided to rest for a while.

Reading is a wonderful and meaningful hobby for every student. It not only helps us improve our language skills and enlarge our vocabulary, but also opens our eyes to the outside world. Through a book, we can travel to faraway islands, learn about different cultures and traditions, and even take part in exciting and unforgettable stories without going out.
Some students enjoy reading fiction books, such as novels, storybooks and adventure works. They are full of amazing plots and creative imagination, which can bring us fun and make our free time colourful. Other students prefer non-fiction books, which tell true stories, real history and useful facts. From science books to history books, we can learn much useful knowledge that we can hardly get in our daily class.
However, many students say they have difficulty finding enough time for reading. In fact, we don’t need to spend hours reading every day. Just 15 to 20 minutes a day is enough. We can read before going to bed, during class breaks or on the way to school. Keeping a reading habit is not easy, but it is really worth trying.
A good book is always our best friend. It teaches us how to think, helps us understand the world better and makes our life more meaningful. So why not pick up a book and start our own reading journey right now
11. What does the writer think of reading
A. It’s boring. B. It’s useful. C. It’s difficult. D. It’s dangerous.
12. What does the underlined word “fiction” probably mean
A. 科幻类 B. 纪实类 C. 小说类 D. 历史类
13. What can we get from non-fiction books
A. Creative ideas B. Interesting stories C. True facts and knowledge D. Wonderful plots
14. What advice does the writer give
A. Read for hours every day. B. Read only big books.

Daniel Defoe is one of the most important writers in British literature. He was born in 1660 into a merchant family in London. As a young man, he lived a very rich and unusual life. He worked as a businessman, wrote strong political articles, and took an active part in social activities. These colourful real-life experiences later became the treasure of his writing and helped him create lively and believable stories.
Although Defoe wrote hundreds of works during his long life, he is best known and remembered for his novel Robinson Crusoe. The book tells the story of a young man who is trapped alone on a wild island after a terrible storm. It shows his strong will, hard work and cleverness when facing great danger and loneliness. The story deeply touches readers and teaches them to keep brave and never give up in difficult situations.
For his great influence on modern novel writing, Daniel Defoe is widely called the “Father of the English Novel”. He died in London in 1731, but his greatest work Robinson Crusoe is still widely read and loved by readers of all ages around the world.
