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.

(  )

5.Neither Mr White nor the owner of the company wanted to get 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:

  One dining table
10 November 1989
  Cost((成本;費用)) of wood
£17.00(£是pound的符號)
  Paint(油漆)
1.50
  Work, 8 hours (£1 an hour)
8.00
  Tota1(合計)
36.50

  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.

1.Why did John talk about the weather when the writer was looking at the bill?

A Because he didn't want the writer to go through the bill carefully.

B.Because it was really a fine day.

C.Because he wanted the writer to check the bill carefully.

D.Because he wanted to tell the writer what the weather was like.

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.

[  ]

A.£20.00
B.£46.50
C.£56.50
D.£26.50

4.When the writer gave him the money, John was happy because ________.

[  ]

A.he got what he should get for his work

B.he got much more money for his work

C.he got the money easily

D.he didn't have to add up the costs again

5.From the story we know that ________.

[  ]

A.John made a mistake in the bill

B.John tried to fool the writer in order to get more money for his work

C.John had written out the bill before the writer got home

D.John still wanted to get £36.50 for his work in the end

閱讀下面的文字,完成小題
去秋人還,蒙賜書及所撰先大父墓碑銘,反復觀誦,感與慚并。
夫銘志之著于世,義近于史,而亦有與史異者。蓋史之于善惡無所不書;而銘者,蓋古之人有功德、材行、志義之美者,懼后世之不知,則必銘而見之;蚣{于廟,或存于墓,一也。茍其人之惡,則與銘乎何有?此其所以與史異也。其辭之作,所以使死者無有所憾,生者得致其嚴。而善人喜于見傳,則勇于自立;惡人無有所記,則以愧而懼。至于通材達識,義烈節(jié)士,嘉言善狀,皆見于篇,則足為后法。警勸之道,非近乎史,其將安近?
及世之衰,人之子孫者,一欲褒揚其親而不本乎理。故雖惡人,皆務勒銘以夸后世。立言者既莫之拒而不為,又以其子孫之所請也,書其惡焉,則人情之所不得,于是乎銘始不實。后之作銘者,當觀其人。茍托之非人,則書之非公與是,則不足以行世而傳后。故千百年來,公卿大夫至于里巷之士,莫不有銘,而傳者蓋少。其故非他,托之非人,書之非公與是故也。
然則孰為其人,而能盡公與是歟?非畜道德而能文章者,無以為也。蓋有道德者之于惡人,則不受而銘之,于眾人則能辨焉。而人之行,有情善而跡非,有意奸而外淑,有善惡相懸而不可以實指,有實大于名,有名侈于實。猶之用人,非畜道德者惡作辨之不惑,議之不徇?不惑不徇,則公且是矣。而其辭之不工,則世猶不傳。于是又在其文章兼勝焉。故曰:非畜道德而能文章者,無以為也。豈非然哉?
然畜道德而能文章者,雖或并世而有,亦或數(shù)十年、或一二百年而有之。其傳之難又如此,其遇之難又如此。若先生之道德文章,固所謂數(shù)百年而有者也。先祖之言行卓卓幸遇而得銘其公與是其傳世行后無疑也而世之學者每觀傳記所書古人之事至其所可感則往往衋然不知涕之流落也,況其子孫也哉?況鞏也哉!其追晞祖德,而思所以傳之之由,則知先生推一賜于鞏而及其三世。其感與報,宜若何而圖之?抑又思若鞏之淺薄滯拙,而先生進之;先祖之屯蹶否塞以死,而先生顯之,則世之魁閎豪杰不世出之士,其誰不愿進于門?潛遁幽抑之士,其誰不有望于世?
既拜賜之辱,且敢進其所以然。所諭世族之次,敢不承教而加詳焉。愧甚不宣。鞏再拜。
