There are stock (股票) markets in large cities. Stock markets in Paris, London, Tokyo, Shanghai and New York are the largest and most well-known. The stock market also called Stock Exchange, is a place where people can buy or sell shares of a factory or company. And each share means certain owner-ship (股份) of a factory or company.

Different people go to stock markets. Some are rich, who want to get more: money than they already have. Others are not very rich, who buy stocks to try to become rich. Still others buy stocks as part of their plans to save money.

Of course, investing (投资) money in the stock market is not the safest way to make money. No one can tell exactly whether the shares will be doing well. The factory or company may do badly. Then stocks will go down, and investors (投资者) will lose money. The stock may go up, but sometimes even if a factory or company does a good job, the stock may still go down.

No wonder going to the stock market is compared to gambling (赌博). All are eager to make money by ‘gambling’ in the stock market. Factories and companies that need money are pleased that so many people willing to ‘gamble’. Indeed, the stock market is an attractive and complex part of the business world.

We have four chickens: Peanut, Cookie, Ice-cream and Potato. My husband Andrew made a beautiful coop(笼子)for them together with our kids.

He gave some tools to the kids because he believed it was important that they could really make something. Then, he slowly helped them. The kids made the mistakes of learning一a board cut too short and hands cut by knives一but in the end, Andrew did some tricks and the coop looked perfect.

The chickens love their perfectly imperfect home and we like to let them run around the yard freely. Yesterday, we needed to go to the city center, knowing that the chickens won't go very far. When we got back, my son, Gordon, ran to check on them. There were Peanut, Cookie and Potato, looking a mess. Ice-cream was nowhere to be seen.

We searched around the yard and found lots of feathers(羽毛). By this time, Gordon's eyes got watery. Ice-cream was his favorite chicken.

Andrew picked Gordon up and held him in his arms. As we stood there, accepting that we were now a three-chicken family, we heard it一a soft clucking sound. Andrew put Gordon down and they looked under the bush. There was Ice-cream, a half-naked(半裸的)chicken. She looked strange, but she was totally fine. Andrew carefully picked her up and returned her to the coop.

The next day, Andrew had a meeting with the kids. The kids believed that the chickens should stay in the coop, safe from everything that may hurt them. Andrew disagreed. He believed that we should be more careful, letting the chickens out when we were in the yard. He encourages our kids to take risks. He sees that the risk of living life一by having the freedom to walk around the yard一is better than the safety of a coop.

1.Which chicken was found crosier the bush?

A.Peanut. B.Cookie. C.Ice-cream. D.Potato.

2.Which of the following facts show that Andrew is a wise father?

a. He taught the kids to make a coop through mistakes.

c. He carefully returned the chicken to the coop.

d. He encouraged his kids to take risks in life.

A.a, b B.b, c C.c, d D.a,d

3.What will most probably happen after the accident?

A.The family will send the four chickens to the nature.

B.The chickens will be kept in the coop from any danger.

C.Gordon will stay with Ice-cream all day to keep it safe.

D.The chickens will run freely when the family are around.
