【題目】A student asked his teacher，“What is Greed(貪婪)？” The teacher said，“To find the answer to your question，go to the chocolate factory next to our school and pick the one chocolate you like best.But there is a rule.As you pass through the factory，you cannot turn back.You must pick the chocolate as you go forward only.”

The student went to the chocolate factory.As he walked through，he saw one chocolate wrapped(包裝) nicely.He really liked it but he thought that he might find a much bigger one later.So，he walked further and saw another chocolate.But again，he thought the same and took nothing.When he reached near the end of the factory，he couldn't see any chocolates as big as the one he didn't pick earlier and started to regret his decision of letting it go.

Finally，he gave up.He went back to the teacher with empty hands and explained what he had done.

The teacher told him，“You liked one chocolate very much but you still kept looking for a bigger one.And later you realized what you missed was the best chocolate you could find there.That is called Greed.”

In our life we let go of many good things because of our greed of having even better ones.This is human nature：we always want something better and better.But we let go of many good things which can give us similar satisfaction and make us happy.Learn to make your choice wisely.

老師通過(guò)讓學(xué)生去巧克力工廠挑選最喜歡的巧克力這一活動(dòng)，讓學(xué)生認(rèn)識(shí)了什么是貪婪，告訴學(xué)生要懂得理智地做出選擇。

【1】句意：老師讓學(xué)生們?nèi)ミx擇哪一個(gè)巧克力？原文“.. go to the chocolate factory next to our school and pick the one chocolate you like best.”（去我們學(xué)校旁邊的巧克力工廠，挑選你最喜歡的巧克力。）說(shuō)明老師是要學(xué)生去挑選那個(gè)自己最喜歡的巧克力，故填：The one he liked best.

【3】句意：你從這個(gè)故事中學(xué)到了什么？文章末段基本是屬于說(shuō)理部分，原文“Learn to make your choice wisely.”（學(xué)會(huì)理智做出選擇）可以作為從故事中學(xué)到的啟示，故填： One should make his choice wisely.

【題目】One day，I saw some children trying to catch butterflies.This made me think of my own childhood.

When I was a boy of 12 in South Carolina，we lived near a forest，and every evening mockingbirds(知更鳥(niǎo)) would come to the trees and sing.I was so interested in watching birds.I planned to catch a bird and keep her in a cage so that I could hear her sing at any time.

I finally caught one.On the second day，the bird's mother flew to the cage with food in her mouth.The baby ate everything her mother brought her.I was glad to see this.The following morning when I went to see my mockingbird，I was surprised to find she was dead in the cage！How sad I was!

When Arthur Wayne，a famous ornithologist(鳥(niǎo)類(lèi)學(xué)家)，visited my father，he heard my crying and told me，“If a mother mockingbird finds her young baby in a cage，she will bring poisonous(有毒的) food to the baby.She thinks that it is better for her child to die than to live in a cage.”

Since then，I never caught any animals and put them in a cage.All living animals have a right(權(quán)利) to live free.

【題目】Twelve-year-old Leonardo was born in a poor family in Peru. He knew how to read but he had never seen a book in his life. So he asked the new priest (牧師) in his village to give him one. But there was no electricity. So Leonardo borrowed candles from the church and sat up all night reading it.

This made John Medcalf, the priest, really moved (感動(dòng)的). He also realized that people would love to read if given a chance. But he knew how difficult it was for Leonardo and those in his village to get books. And yet, no one can be taught to read and write without books. To make people in a poor area grow to love books, they have to be with them. So he thought the only way was to bring books to people.

But how could this be done? Mobile libraries or car libraries would be too expensive and difficult to continue in the hilly (多丘陵的) land of Peru. So what other methods could be used?

He got a new idea from the barefoot (赤腳) doctors of China. And that was how the barefoot librarians (圖書(shū)管理員) first appeared in the villages of northern Peru, almost thirty years ago.

At first, they were teachers of the village schools which these faraway libraries belonged to. But the teachers were not very interested in the job because it meant a lot of hard work. So, the elders in the village took on the job themselves.

Today, there are 600 village libraries across Peru. The barefoot librarians need to walk up to 15 hours a day with bags of books.

【1】From the first paragraph, we can know Leonardo _________.

A. had a lot of books

B. bought candles from others

C. enjoyed reading books

D. lived with the priest

【2】How do you like the priest John Medcalf?

A. Smart and kind.

B. Poor and impolite.

C. Brave and friendly.

D. Strong and cold.

【3】From the passage, we can know that _________.

A. the first church in Peru was set up by John Medcalf

B. car libraries used to be popular in Leonardo’s village

C. teachers were interested in bringing books to villagers

D. the barefoot librarians are important to village libraries

【4】What is this passage mainly about?

A. How people read in Peru.

B. How the barefoot librarians started in Peru.

C. How John Medcalf brought books to people.

D. How people collected books in Peru.
