The cell door1 and I hear Chief's keys clinking as other doors clang shut further down the row. I step into my little cell and sit down. I glance up at the window, covered in mesh(铁网),and think to myself, “This isn't a life, it's just a(n)2.”
Being3 makes me feel as though I'm being buried alive. I am a puppet(木偶) with people4 strings so that I eat, sleep and wake when they want me to.
I lie on my bed as night5 and think the same thoughts6. I think about how it all went so wrong, and imagine how I will7 for all the time I've lost.
Every day I live the same routine and nothing changes except the people. Prisoners depart for other prisons, or get8. Others9 from different prisons, or fresh from custody. It's a10 revolving(旋转) door.
When I committed my11, I was a lost young boy, but now I am12. Walking around the yard, I would notice my fellow prisoners reading books and writing letters to friends and family, which upset me as my13 at school was limited.
I longed for the day when I'd be able to sit in the sun, enjoying a cup of coffee and reading a newspaper or book14 my choice. I also longed to write letters to my friends and family, sharing my thoughts and feelings.
I decided not to waste my time inside and,15, make the most of all the resources available to me. I started to learn and was16 to realize my dream.
Now, after five years' persistence, heartache and hard work, I have17 my goal. Having18 a course as a reading adviser, I can now help others to read and write. And I have even started a creative writing workshop at Junee Correctional Centre. Learning to read and write at a highter level has given me the inner strength to present myself in a more19 manner.
And the day I've dreamed about has come true: I now enjoy my cup of coffee with a book in my other hand. Learning to read and write has changed my life and this article is my first piece of “proper” writing, and it won't be my20.

All plant cells are able to take up water. Even dead ones do to a certain degree. Absorption of water by dead cell walls makes wood swell(肿胀). In common land plants, the living cells of roots take up most of the water. Land plants without roots do exist, however. Those greenish-yellow lichens(苔藓)you see on tree trunks and on rocks in the high mountains have no roots. Half a billion years ago, when water plant started to invade the land, the first primitive land plants did not have roots; they were marsh (沼泽) plants.

Even among the flowering plants, one finds rootless forms. These flowering plants are the so-called higher plants because they evolved more recently and are thus considered higher on the evolutionary scale. In the Peruvian desert, there grows one of these rootless higher plants, a bromeliad. It is a relative of the pineapple. Even if this plant had roots, they would be of no use, because where the plant grows, it never rains. The plant gets its water exclusively from the dew it collects at night, when its leaves cool off. Such rootless plants, of course, can be moved with ease, but they will only grow when they are placed out in the open. If they are placed too near a house, the radiation from the heat of the house prevents the leaves from cooling and so prevents dew from forming, and the plant dies. In the southern United States and in Puerto Rico, one sees bromeliads growing high above the streets on the insulation of electric wires. These plants get their water from rain, and the only soil they ever come in contact with is the dust that may blow on their leaves.

Wood swells because of _______.

A. the dead cell walls          B. tiny drops of water entering the dead cell

C. the growth of the cell       D. the death of the cell

From the passage we know that the evolutionary scale is arranged according to ______.

A. evolutionary cycles                  B. heights and depths

C. time                                D. kinds

The bromeliad is a plant that _______.

A. has useless roots             B. is a pineapple

C. can grow anywhere           D. takes up water through its leaves

Which of the following is NOT true?

Water plants existed before land plants.

Only living plant cells take up water.

The greenish-yellow lichens are uncommon land plants.

The living cells of roots absorb more water than the rest of the plant.

The most suitable title for this passage is ______.

A. water intake by cells  B. rootless plantsC. plant in the desert   D. higher plants
