Do you remember when you wrote a letter last time? If the answer is “not recently”, don’t worry. You are not a 1. .

A survey of 1,000 teenagers around the world done by a French company BIC found that a third of today’s teenagers had never written a letter, half had not written a thank-you letter, and a quarter had not even written a birthday or Christmas card. In fact, 58 percent of teenagers c2. that handwriting was “too slow” and 17 percent believed it was “outdated”.

These results have caused w3.that the art of handwriting may one day die out.

“Hand-writing” is one of the most c4. art forms we have and should be given the same importance as other art form such as painting, or photography,” Jonathan Skyrme, general manager at BIC UK & Ireland, told the Daily Mail.

The New York Times once explained that a handwritten letter sends a message in a way that o5.messages can never do. “When you get an email, you can never be sure that you are the o 6. person to have received it -- or even that it was written by the person who sent it,” said the newspaper.

As US author Simon Garfield once wrote, “Emails are a poke（蜻蜓點(diǎn)水）, but letters are a loving touch.” So imagine the powerful message you send when you actually write out your thought by hand, buy a stamp, take it to a mailbox, and wait days for your special s7.to receive it.

Tom walked away from the school. He would never return. He was a lonely boy. Nobody loved him. He met his best friend, Joe Harper. Joe’s mother had beaten him. But Joe hadn’t done anything wrong. He also wanted to leave home. The two boys began to make plans. They both agreed to become pirates (海盜).

Five kilometers south of St Petersburg was an island called Jackson’s island. It was close to the other shore of the river. They decided to go there. They looked for Huckleberry Finn, and he joined them at once. They decided to meet on the river bank three kilometers from the village at midnight. Each would bring tools for fishing, and whatever they could steal — like those bad guys.

Tom arrived with a boiled ham and a corn, Joe had some bacon, and Huck had a frying pan, all stolen from home or their neighbors. They took some fire from an empty boat, and then they set off on the raft (木筏). At about 2 a.m. they landed on Jackson’s Island, and carried their only possessions onto the shore. They decided to sleep in the open air. That was what pirates did.

They built a fire, cooked some bacon for supper, and ate half of the corn they had brought. It seemed wonderful to be eating in the wild forest of an undiscovered island. They said they would never go back.

“It’s just the life for me,” said Tom, “You don’t have to get up in the mornings and go to school, and wash all those foolish things. A pirate doesn’t have to do anything.”

Huck asked, “What do pirates do?”

“Oh, they take ships and burn them. They get money and bury it in places where nobody can find it. And... kill everybody on the ships,” said Tom.

Slowly their talk stopped. Huck slept easily. Tom and Joe had more difficulty getting to sleep. Their conscience (良知) started to work. They began to fear that it was wrong to run away, and they thought of the stolen meat, and worried that it was bad to steal.

1.Why did the boys want to leave?

A.They were uninterested in their study.

B.They felt they were not loved by others.

C.Being pirates could bring them much money.

D.Floating on the sea allowed them to learn more.

2.How did the boys get to Jackson’s Island?

A.In a boat. B.By ship. C.On a raft. D.By swimming.

3.What can we learn about the island?

A.It was easy to find food on it.

B.There was nobody else on it.

C.There were no trees or animals on it.

D.It was a good place to become pirates.

4.How did Tom and Joe feel after they stopped talking about pirates?

A.Sleepy. B.Embarrassed. C.Ashamed. D.Relaxed.

5.What might Tom most probably do the next day?

A.He would go back home.

B.He would become a pirate.

C.He would sail to other islands.

D.He would pay back what he stole.
