One upon a time there was an
office worker whose name was Charles. He worked in the same insurance office
for many years. But during that time, he became more and more unhappy. While he
worked, he dreamed constantly, and in his dream he was always a hermit, he
stayed in his room. He didn't like people. He especially didn't like people
when they talked. He wanted peace and quiet. Life went on for Charles in this
way until he became desperate.
His big opportunity came when he learned
about a sea voyage the two of his friends were planning. They expected to make
the trip during their summer vocation. Charles asked to join them. While they
were sailing, our hero talked to his friends about the joys of hermits' life.
He talked until he finally convinced them and they decided to stop at the First
Island that they found.
A few days after this decision, they saw
the island in the distance where they decided to live. Before they went ashore,
Charles asked the other two make a promise not to say a word after they reached
the island. They were to remain perfectly quit during their stay.

The text below is for question 6-9
We don't live
in an age of miracles, but sometimes they happen. This was a special New Year's
Eve Miracle.
Elizabeth Barret lives near a shopping
center, and sometimes she and her sister, Barbara, play near the stores. They
like playing there. There are lots of people there, and she and Barbara like to
look at the things in the windows.
But the lives of children are not
sweet. They are full of fears. Children attack and chase other children. Why?
Who knows? But it's true. And it's true in Smithtown, too.
Elizabeth is eleven years old and isn't
friends with bad children. She doesn't fight. Her mother says so. And one New Year's
Eve, Elizabeth and her sister, Barbara, are playing near the stores, but they
have to stop. "Elizabeth," says Barbara. "Let's go home. Do you
see those girls over there? They go to my school. They are bad.
But it's too late. The bad girl chases
Elizabeth and Barbara. They start to run. "Hurry, Elizabeth. Let's run
across the railroad tracks. Hurry up."
The trains on the Long Island Railroad
are always late. It is a fact of life on Long Island. But the 1: 05 out of
Ronkokoma was on time the New Year's Eve.
Vincent Lobianco was at the railroad
station, 150 feet away from Elizabeth and Barbara. "Don't cross the
tracks. Go back!" Mr. Lobianco is a religious man. "Please, God, no.
Don't let it happen." he shouts. But it does. Engine #4321 was on top of
Elizabeth in two seconds. Mr. Lobianco runs towards the girl, and at the same
time, shouts to a taxi driver at the station. "Call ambulance. Call an
ambulance. There is a little girl on the track."
