Toby remembers
My name is Toby． I'm eighty﹣three years old this spring． My house is right in the middle of Stratford﹣upon﹣Avon， and I can watch the street market（1） my window． But I live very quietly now． I'm just a（n）（2） man， sitting in a chair．
I once knew the greatest man in England．For thirty years I was his friend． I worked with（3） in the theatre， through the good times and the bad times． He was a good friend to me． He was also the best playwright （剧作家）and poet that ever lived in England． William Shakespeare was his（4） ．
I saw all his plays in the theatre． People（5） them． They shouted， laughed and cried，ate oranges，and called for more． William Shakespeare could please all kinds of（6）_____ including Kings，Queens，Princes，great lords and ladies，poor people，the boys who held the horses…everyone．
He put me in a play once．Well，he used my name﹣Toby．Twelfth Night was the play．I remember，in the play，Sir Toby Belch was a big fat man，who liked drinking（7） and having a good time．Queen Elizabeth the First watched that（8） ﹣Twelfth Night，on the 6th of January，1601． She liked it， too．
William's dead now，of course． He's been dead for more than thirty years， and no one sees his plays now． The Puritans （清教徒）have（9） all the theaters． There's no singing，no dancing，no plays． It isn't like that in my young days． We had a good time in London， William and I…
I've no teeth now， and my hair has all fallen out，（10） I can still think﹣and remember． I remember when William and I were young， just boys really．

In Australia there is a famous island called Fraser Island．A great many visitors come here for holidays every year．Why？The reason is that it is special．（56） ．In fact，it is the largest sand island in the world．It's about 200 kilometers long and 240 kilometers wide．
Though the island is a popular place of interest，there is no airport on the island．The long beach along the east coast works as the airport．（57） ．
On the island there are sand hills without any plants，but there are forests with old trees，beautiful flowers and over a hundred lakes，too．（58） ．
Every year，visitors come to enjoy the island's natural beauty．People like camping and hiking there．（59） ．Animals were killed for food and this made them in danger of extinction （灭绝）．They threw rubbish everywhere，and the lakes were seriously polluted．
（60） ．Rules have been set up．For example，visitors are not allowed to use motorboats （摩托艇） or go fishing in the lakes，and they mustn't leave any rubbish．
A．Planes arrive and leave from here
B．Anyone who breaks the rules w il be pun i shed
C．The island is completely made of sand
D．Unluckily，visitors have caused many problems
E．Many kinds of birds and animals live in the forest
F．So it is time to protect the environment of the island．
I was feeling a little sad because my mother had lost her job．One day，while I （81） （walk） on the street，I heard that a beautiful piece piano music （82） （play） above the noise of the people．I walked more slowly （83） （find） out where it was coming from．Then I saw a young lady sitting at a piano．
She was singing songs about love，believing yourself and keeping on 84 （try）．The way she was singing made me （85） （relax）．I stood there quietly，watching her playing on such a crowded New York square．I thought that she must be brave enough to perform in front of so many people．
She noticed me．I walked over and （86） （tell） her how good her music sounded．"Thank you．"she said．"I have been going through a hard time recently，but you've made me hopeful again．"I said to her．
"I'm glad that I could help，"she replied，"Why are you so sad？"
"Well，my mom （87） （lose） her job，and I'm not sure what to do …"
"Did you noticed the way you were walking？Your head was down．"she said．"（88） （not be） upset，because opportunity comes in different ways and if your head is down，you might not see it．You （89） （smile） more…lift your head up．"
I looked at her，amazed at how she was encouraging me．"Why （90） you （play） the piano here？"I asked her with a smile．
She explained that she saw a lot of unhappy people in the world and she tried to cheer them up by playing music．
I smiled a little wilder，realizing that no difficulties could stop me from going on．
The Belt and Road is （机会） to help some countries to develop，so more and more countries want to catch it．
