(2016·红桥区二模)

We were standing at the top of a church tower.My father had brought me to this spot in a small town not far from our home in Rome.I wondered why.

“Look down，Elsa，” Father said. I gathered all my courage and looked down.I saw the square in the center of the village.And I saw the criss-cross(十字形)of the twisting，turning streets leading to the square.“See，my dear.” Father said gently，“There is more than one way to the square.Life is like that.If you can’t get to the place where you want to go by one road，try another.”

Now I understand why I was there.Earlier that day I had begged my mother to do something about the awful lunches that were served at school.But she refused because she could not believe the lunches were as bad as I said.

When I turned to Father for help，he would not interfere(干涉)．Instead，he brought me to this high tower to give me a lesson.By the time we reached home，I had a plan.

At school the next day，I secretly poured my luncheon soup into a bottle and brought it home.Then I asked our cook to serve it to my mother at dinner.The plan worked perfectly.She swallowed one spoonful and sputtered，“The cook must have gone mad！”Quickly I told what I had done，and Mother stated firmly that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day!

In the years that followed I often remembered the lesson Father taught me.I began to work as a fashion designer two years ago.I wouldn’t stop working until I tried every possible means to reach my goal.Father’s wise words always remind me that there is more than one way to the square.

4．What did the writer’s mother think of her luncheon soup after she tasted it? A．It was delicious.

B．It wasn’t so bad as the author said. C．It couldn’t be worse.

Still seeking a destination for your weekend break？There are some places which are probably a mere walk away from your college. King’s Art Centre

A day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere.This weekend sees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists.

You could attend a class teaching you how to “learn from the masters” or get more creative with paint—free of charge.

The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee. The Botanic Garden

The Garden has over 8,000 plant species；it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University.

The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive.The African plant produces red flowers above blue-green leaves，and is not one to miss.

Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula，a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals.

The Garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts.Look for grass snakes in the lake.A snake called “Hissing Sid” is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun.

Byron’s Pool

Many stories surround Lord Byron’s time as a student of Cambridge University.Arriving in 1805，he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of “mess and drunkenness”．However，it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the
