本篇大意是:雞場主懷特發(fā)現(xiàn)夏天雞下蛋少,決定在雞舍裝置空調(diào),賣空調(diào)的老板到懷特處,見其家尚未安裝空調(diào),便想擴展生意,不單給雞舍裝上空調(diào),還建議給懷特的妻子屋安一臺空調(diào),但懷特沒有同意,他的理由是,給雞舍裝上空調(diào),雞能多下蛋,給他老婆安上空調(diào),并不能產(chǎn)生經(jīng)濟效益.
文章反映了農(nóng)場、牧場、家禽飼養(yǎng)場現(xiàn)代化的進展,反映了在市場經(jīng)濟背景下,人們所具有的強烈經(jīng)濟意識,十分幽默而富有趣味.雙方都有自己的生意經(jīng),各自有自己的小算盤,都是以多撈錢為目的,這是現(xiàn)代社會中商人心理的實際寫照.
Mr White was a chicken farmer. He had hundreds of chickens, and sold the eggs and the meat and got quite a lot of money for them, but he lived in a very hot part of the country, and he found that his hens could hardly lay(空調(diào)) any eggs in the summer. So he decided to put air-conditioning(空調(diào)) into his chicken-house so that the hens would lay well all through the year and he could get more eggs and in that way get more money.
The owner of the air-conditioning company(公司) came to see him, and when he saw Mr White's house, he thought that he might be able to persuade(勸說) him to buy some air-conditioning too.
“Your wife would be much happier and have a nicer house to live in then.” he said to Mr White. But Mr White was not interest.
“My wife doesn't lay eggs.” he said.
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,判斷對錯.
1.Mr White's hens could lay few eggs when the weather was too hot.
( )
2.Mr White decided to buy air-conditioning for his house because he wanted to make his wife much happier.
( )
3.The owner of the company hoped to put air-conditioning into both Mr White's house and his chicken-house.
( )
4.Air-conditioning in Mr White's house would not bring him more money.

Our village carpenter(木匠), John Hill, came one day and made a dining table for my wife. He made it just the right size to fill the space between the two windows. When I got home that evening, John was drinking a cup of tea and writing out his bill(賬單) for the job.
My wife said to me, quietly, “That's his ninth cup of tea today.” But she said, in a loud voice, “It's a beautiful table, dear, isn't it?”
“I'll decide about that when I see the bill,” I said.
John laughed and gave me his bill for the work. I read:
When I was looking at the bill, John said, “It's been a fine day, hasn't it? Quite sunny.”
“Yes,” I said. “I'm glad it's only the 10th of November.”
“Me, too,” said John. “You wait-it'll be a lot colder by the end of the month.”
“Yes. Colder-and more expensive! Dining tables will be £20 more expensive on November 30th, won't they, John?”
John looked hard at me for half a minute. Was there a little smile in his two blue eyes? I gave his bill back to him.
“If it isn't too much trouble, John,” I said, “please add it up again. You can forget the date.”
I paid him £26.50 and he was happy to get it.

2.Why did the writer say that dining tables would be £ 20 more expensive on November 30th?
[ ]
A.Because it was difficult to make dining tables in cold weather.
B.Because paint would be more expensive.
C.Because the cost of wood would be more expensive.
D.Because he thought John would almost certainly add the date to the cost of the dining table.
3.The writer thought John would ask for ________ if he made a dining table on the last day of November.
