【题目】阅读短文,根据要求完成文后的题目。

There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them to go and look at a pear tree far away in turns.

The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall.

When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen. The first son said that the tree was ugly. The second son said no; it was covered with green leaves, and full of hope. The third so n disagreed. He said there were many flowers that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most wonderful thing he had ever seen. The last son disagreed with all of them, he said there was lots of fruit in the tree, full of life and harvest(收获).

The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, but they had each seen only one season in the tree's life. He told them"You cannot judge a tree, or a person by only one season and its true nature —the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life can only be judged at the end, when all the seasons are up."

If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, harvest of your fall. Don't let the pain of one season kill the joy of all the rest.

【1】根据短文描述可知该父亲让他的四个儿子分别在不同的季节去观察一棵树,是想让他们学会不要太快地单从某个方面判断事物,所以作答Because he wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly.

【题目】

The hardworking blacksmith (铁匠) Jones used to work all day in his shop. The son of Mr. Smith, a rich neighbour, used to come to see the blacksmith every day and for hours and hours he would enjoy himself watching how the blacksmith worked.

“Young manwhy don’t you try your hand to learn to make shoe tacks (铁钉), even if it is only to pass the time?” said the blacksmith. “Who knows, one day, it may be useful to you.”

The lazy boy began to see what he could do. But after a little practice he found that he was becoming very skilled and soon he was making some of the finest tacks.

Old Mr. Smith died and the son lost all his things because of the war. He had to leave home and live in another country. It happened that in this village there were many shoemakers spending a lot of money buying tacks for their shoes and sometimes even when they paid high prices they were not always able to get what they wanted, because in that part of the country there was a great need of tacks for soldiers’ shoes.

Young Mr. Smith remembered that he had learned how to make shoe tacks before, so he had a talk with the shoemakers. He told them that he would make the tacks if they would help him to set up his workshop. The shoemakers were very glad to help him. And after a while, Mr. Smith found that he was making the finest shoe tacks in the village.

“How funny it seems,” he used to say, “Even by making shoe tacks, one can become rich. My business is more useful to me now than all my riches in the past.”

【题目】Do you have pocket money?

Students all around the world think it great to have some money in their pocket. But how much do they get?

American kids andpocket money

Most American children think having pocket money will help them to understand money better. Here’s what some of them say:

Jacob---- I have to do 10 times of the housework a week to get pocket money.

Katty---- I get $20 twice a month. I put $5 in the bank and spend $15 on new stuff

Nathan, Sam---- We save half of our pocket money every week.

Amy---- I get $10 a week for doing the housework. I don’t get money if I don’t do that.

Amber---- I don’t save too much. I spend a lot when I go shopping.

Sam, Tess----We put our pocket money in the bank, and spend our birthday and Christmas money.

British children and pocket money

In London, children get 10 pounds every week, children in Scotland (苏格兰) get 8 pounds, and children in Wales (威尔士) get the most, about 13.5 pounds! Also, British boys get a little more pocket money than girls.

Like kids in the US, British children do the housework to earn their pocket money. That’s why British children know a lot about spending money. 7% of them spend less than 1 each week, 22% spend between 1 and 5, and 20% spend over 5 each week. What do they buy with their money? Most of them spend it on sweets, crisps (薯片) and chocolate.

Is it good to have pocket money?

Some parents may ask the question, the answer is: Of course yes! If children have some pocket money, they can learn to find out what things cost, save money for things that they want. There are lots of good lessons to learn:

If you spend it all at once, there is no money until your next “pay day” (发薪日).

If you bought the wrong thing, you’ll be more sensible (明智的) next time.

If you borrow money, you have to pay it back.

1What do most of American children think of having pocket money?

They think having pocket money ______________________________________.

2British children earn their pocket money just like kids in the US, don’t they?

________________________________________.

3Who get more pocket money in Britain, boys or girls?

________________________________________.

4In the US, according to Katty, how much does she save in the bank every month?

________________________________________.

5What do most of British children spend money on?

Most of them spend it on ___________________________________.
