A wise man was visiting a village with his students. He found a group of family members shouting in anger at each other. He turned to his students and asked: “Why do people shout in anger at each other?”
His students thought for a while, and one of them said: “Because when we lose our calm, we shout.”
“But, why should you shout when the other person is just next to you? You can just as well tell him what you have to say in a soft manner,” said the wise man.
Students gave some other answers but none were any good.
“When two people are angry at each other, their hearts become distanced,” the wise man explained. “To cover that distance they must shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are, the louder they will have to shout to hear each other and cover that great distance.”
The wise man then gave an example: “What happens when two people fall in love? They don’t shout at each other but talk softly because their hearts are very close. When they love each other even more, what happens? They don’t need to talk. They only look at each other and that’s all. That is how close two people are when they love each other.”
He looked at his students and said: “So when you argue, do not let your hearts get distant. Do not say words that distance you from others. Otherwise, there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not find the path to return.”

In 1997,12-year-old American girl Caitlin and 14-year-old Zimbabwean (津巴布韦人) Martin became pen friends through their schools. They didn’t realize at that time how their handwritten letters would change their lives.
It all began as a school task. Everyone in Caitlin’s class was supposed to choose a pen friend from another country. All the other kids picked countries like France or Germany, but Caitlin chose Zimbabwe because the name sounded exotic(异国的) and cool.
Martin lived with his family in one of Zimbabwe’s worst slums(贫民窟) where they shared one room with another family. And a bed was their only piece of furniture.
When Caitlin’s first letters reached Martin, they were simple and general. The two kids wrote about their favorite music and what they liked to do. But as Martin gradually revealed more about his life and his letters started arriving written on pieces of trash, Caitlin realized what the living conditions were like for Martin. Without telling her parents, she began sending money with her letters—$ 20 at a time. While the money was not much to Caitlin, it meant more food for Martin’s family and enabled him to pay his school fees.
It lasted six years from their first exchange of letters to Martin’s arrival in the United States. With the help of the money from Caitlin’s parents later on, Martin finished his university and got his MBA from Duke University.
Today, Caitlin and Martin aren’t only best friends, but they also share their story in a book called I Will Always Write Back. They want to encourage readers to look beyond their own lives and do something kind for others, which might greatly influence their lives.
1. is from Zimbabwe?
A. Duke B. Caitlin C. Martin D. Frank

c. Caitlin chose a pen friend from Zimbabwe.
d. Martin got his MBA from Duke University.
A. a-b-c-d B. a-b-d-c C. c-b-d-a D. c-d-b-a
4.According to the passage, which of the following is not TRUE?
A. Caitlin chose Zimbabwe because the name sounded exotic and cool.
B. Martin lived a very hard life in one of the worst slums in Zimbabwe.
C. Martin’s family could get more food with Caitlin’s money in the letters.
D. They had kept writing to each other for five years before Martin arrived in the US.

It came as a real shock(震惊) to find out that chickens could tell what color they were eating.
I picked up a package of mixed greens one day. I anxiously brought it home and immediately took a trip out to the chicken house to deliver(递送) it. I knew the girls would welcome the treat!
My chickens have their regular gravity-type feeder for their grain(谷物), and I have a large plastic dog dish that I use for those special treats.
I emptied the bag of greens into the dog dish and stood back, as I usually do, to watch for a minute. I began to notice that the chickens were eating the green lettuce(莴苣)but were leaving the red leaves. I though it must be mistaken, but I didn’t have time to find out for sure right then.
When I went back a short time later, the dish was empty except for the red leaves. The chickens didn’t eat them with the red leaves. It took several hours, but they finally did eat it. I guess if they had their druthers(偏爱), they’d choose for green leaves only. Red leaves only satisfy in the absence of greens.
1.The word “girls”in the second paragraph means “________”
A. chickens B. greens C. colors
2.What was used to feed the chicken as the special treat?
A. A heavy feeder B. A big plastic dog dish C. A special plate
3.What does the author usually do when feeding the chickens?
A. He often watches them eating for a while.
B. He usually offers some water for the chicken.
C. He often leaves first and then comes back to have a look.
4.How did the author feel when he found the chickens could tell the food color?
A. Very interesting B. Quite pleased C. very surprised
