              You feel strange about it，but characters in novels don't always do what the writer wants them to do．Sometimes they cause trouble，take on lives of their own，or even work against the writer．It's not just a problem for inexperienced authors：famed children's novelist Roald Dahl said he got the main character in his book Matilda so"wrong"that when he'd finished his first version，he threw it away and started again．
              Of course it's not the characters'fault．The problem lies with the author，who often creates works according his own experiences．Take Stephen King，who admitted that it is more difficult for him to write characters like Carrie nowadays because his own circumstances have changed．"It is definitely harder，"King said，"When I wrote Carrie many years ago．I was only one step away from physical labor．"
              This is also true for characters'ages，added King．"When you have small children，I t is easy to write young characters because you observe them and you have them in your life all the time．But your kids grow up．It's been harden for me to write about this little 12-year-old girl in my new book because my models are gone．"
              For other authors，such as Karen Fowler，there's one quality that can stop a character in its tracks：boredom．"I had particular problems with the main character in my historical novel Sister Noon，"she says．"She had attitudes about race and religion that seemed appropriate to me for here time and class，but they were not attitudes I liked．Eventually I grew quite bored with her．You can write a book about a character you dislike or a character you disagree with，but I don't think you can write a book about a character who bores you．"
              According to Neel Mukherjee，it was Adinath，a character in The Lives of Others，who made him work the hardest．"I think struggled because it's difficult to write a character whose most prominent personal feature is weakness，as Adinath's is，without making that feature define him，"Mukherjee says．But a troublesome character is far from an unwelcome guest，he continues，arguing that"when characters work against the author they come alive and become unpredictable．""That sometimes happens，"Mukherjee says，"I celebrate it．"

              (1) What can we infer about Stephen King's book Carrie？ ______
              A. It was his most difficult book to write．
              B. It was the first successful novel King wrote．
              C. There were few children featured in the story．
              D. Some of its main characters were working class．
              (2) Why did Karen Fowler have trouble writing the main character in her novel Sister Noon？ ______
              A. She disagreed with the character's attitudes．
              B. The age difference between the two was too large．
              C. She found the character very uninteresting．
              D. The historical setting made accuracy difficult．
              (3) What does Neel Mukherjee think of h is difficult-to-write characters？ ______
              A. They bear the personal feature of weakness．
              B. They are what the author treasures in writing．
              C. They are often troublesome and unwelcome．
              D. They are unpredictable and hard to define．

              One day，I was invited to an important event，and I wanted to wear something special for it．I looked through my suitcase but couldn't find anything to wear．I was lucky to be at the technology conference then，and I had access to 3D printers．So I quickly designed a skirt on my computer，and I loaded the file on the printer．It just printed the pieces overnight．The next morning，I just took all the pieces，assembled them together in my hotel room，and this is actually the skirt that I'm wearing right now．
              It wasn't the first time that I had printed clothes．For my senior collection at fashion design school，I decided to try and 3D print an entire fashion collection from my home．The problem was that I hardly knew anything about 3D printing，and I had only nine months to figure out how to print five fashionable looks．I always felt most creative when I worked from home．I loved experimenting with new materials，and I always tried to develop new techniques to make the most unique textiles for my fashion projects．
              One summer break，I came here to New York to do practice at a fashion house in Chinatown．We worked on two incredible dresses that were 3D printed．They were amazing．But I had a few problems with them．They were made from hard plastics and that's why they broke easily．The models couldn't sit in them，and they even got hurt from the plastics under their arms．So now the main challenge was to find the right material for printing clothes with．I mean the material you feed the printer with．
              The breakthrough came when I was introduced to Filaflex，which is a new kind of printing material．It's strong，yet very flexible．And with it，I was able to print the first garment，a red jacket that had the word"freedom"printed into it．And actually，you can easily download this jacket，and change the word to something else，for example，your name or your sweetheart's name．So I think in the future，materials will be better，and they will look and feel like fabrics we know today，like cotton or silk．

              (1) What does the writer mean by mentioning the skirt she is wearing now ______
              A. It is not easily breakable．
              B. It represents the latest style．
              C. It came from a 3D printer．
              D. It was made by a fashion designer．
              (2) When did the writer start experimenting with 3D printing ______
              A. When she attended a conference in New York．
              B. When she had just graduated from her college．
              C. When she was studying at a fashion design school．
              D. When she attended a fashion show nine months ago．
              (3) What was the problem with the material at New York fashion house ______
              A. It was hard and easy to break．
              B. It was hard to come by．
              C. It was difficult to print．
              D. It was extremely expensive．
              (4) What can we know about Filaflex ______
              A. It is the latest model of a 3D printer．
              B. It gives fashion designers room for imagination．
              C. It is a plastic widely used in 3D printing．
              D. It marks a breakthrough in printing material．

              My divorce was now final and I needed to find a new home for me and my six-year-old son，Dash．A few days earlier I'd seen an ad．I was willing to try anything，so I contacted the owner，a woman named Camille．When she e-mailed me back I discovered she wasn't renting a house at all．She was renting the attic （阁楼） apartment．I left her a message calling off our meeting．
              But Camille called me back and insisted I come over．So here I was．I pulled the car to a stop and looked up at the tiny cottage．The house was small as it was．The attic window looked too tiny to let much light in．We couldn't live in a dark，depressing place．I could make do（凑合） with almost anything．But Dash needs a good home，a place he really feels safe．
              No sense in wasting her time or mine．I knocked．The woman who opened the door was small and bright-eyed．She was much older than I'd guessed，but I could see she had the energy of someone half her age．She looked so sympathetic that I found myself wanting to keep talking to her．"We have to leave our home，"I explained．"My marriage ended．I only have a few days to find something else，but I want it to be right．"
              Camille nodded．"You're a good mother．You never know the miracles that await you around the corner．"Camille walked me to the door and wished me well．I got back in the car and snapped out of it．I drove off slowly，hoping to make the feeling last．I turned down a side street I didn't recognize．I glanced out of the side window．Just up ahead was a cottage with a sign out in front：for rent．
              I pulled over．I found the owners had just bought the house themselves and were decorating it，hoping to find the perfect renters．They took me on a tour of the house that was like a copy of my list：a big bedroom for Dash，a backyard with trees，and a great school nearby．The house was meant for us!
              Camille was right．Miracles await us，just around the corner．

              I was desperately nervous about becoming car-free．But eight months ago our car was hit by a passing vehicle and it was destroyed．No problem，I thought：we'll buy another．But the insurance payout didn't even begin to cover the costs of buying a new car-I worked out that，with the loan we'd need plus petrol，insurance，parking permits and tax，we would make a payment as much as￡600 a month．
              And that's when I had my fancy idea．Why not just give up having a car at all？I live in London．We have a railway station behind our house，a tube station 10 minutes'walk away，and a bus stop at the end of the street．A new car club had just opened in our area，and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby．If any family in Britain could live without a car，I reasoned，then surely we were that family．
              But my new car-free idea，sadly，wasn't shared by my family．My teenage daughters were horrified．What would their friends think about our family being"too poor to afford a car"？（I wasn't that bothered what they thought，and I suggested the girls should take the same approach．）
              My friends，too，were astonished at our plan．What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital？（an ambulance） How would the children get to and from their many events？（buses and trains） People smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas，before saying they were sure I'd soon realize that a car was a necessity．
              Eight months on，I wonder whether we'll ever own a car again．The idea that you"have to"own a car，especially if you live in a city，is all in the mind．I live-and many other citizens do too-in a place that has never been better served by public transport，and yet car ownership has never been higher．We worry about rising car costs，but we'd be better off asking something much more basic：do I really need a car？Certainly the answer is no，and I'm a lot richer because I dared to ask the question．

              (1) The author decided to live a car-free life partly because ______ ．
              A. most families chose to go car-free
              B. the cost of a new car was too much
              C. he was hurt in a terrible car accident
              D. the traffic jam was unbearable for him
              (2) What is the attitude of the author's family toward his plan？ ______
              A. Disapproving．
              		B. Supportive．
              C. Optimistic．
              		D. Unconcerned．
              (3) What did the author suggest his daughters do about their friends'opinion？ ______
              A. Argue against it．
              		B. Take their advice．
              C. Leave it alone．
              		D. Think it over．
              (4) What conclusion did the author draw after the eight-month car-free life？ ______
              A. Life cannot go without a car．
              B. Life without a car is a little bit hard．
              C. His life gets improved without a car．
              D. A car-free life does not suit everyone．
