请阅读下列寓言小故事和故事寓意，从所给的六个选项（ A、B、C、D、E和F）中，选出附和各小题要求的最佳选项
下面是几则寓言小故事：
46. An ant went to the bank of a river to quench its thirst, and being carried away by the rush of the stream, was on the point of drowning. A dove sitting on a tree overhanging the water plucked a leaf and let it fall into the stream close to her. The ant climbed onto it and floated in safety to the bank. Shortly afterwards a birdcatcher came and stood under the tree, aiming at the dove. The ant, perceiving his design, stung him in the foot. In pain the birdcatcher shouted, and noise made the dove take wing.
47. Two men were travelling together, when a bear suddenly met them on their path. One of them climbed up quickly into a tree and hid himself in the branches. The other, seeing that he must be attacked, fell flat on the ground, and when the bear came up and felt him with his snout, and smelt him all over, he held his breath, and pretended to be dead as much as he could. The bear soon left him, for he will not touch a dead body. When he disappeared, the other traveler descended from the tree, and asked his friend what it was the bear had whispered in his ear. “He gave me this advice,” his companion replied. “Never travel with a friend who deserts you at the approach of danger.”
48. A prince had some monkeys trained to dance. Being naturally good at learning, they showed themselves excellent pupils, and in their rich clothes and masks, they danced as well as any of the courtiers. Their performance was often repeated with great applause, till on one occasion a courtier, bent on mischief, took from his pocket a handful of nuts and threw them upon the stage. The monkeys at the sight of the nuts forgot their dancing and became (as indeed they were) monkeys instead of actors. Pulling off their masks and tearing their robes, they fought with one another for the nuts. The dancing spectacle thus came to an end in the laughter and ridicule of the audience.
49. A cock was once strutting up and down the farmyard among the hens when suddenly he noticed something shining in the straw. “Ho! Ho!” said he, “that’s for me,” and soon rooted it out from beneath the straw. It turned out to be a pearl that by some chance had been lost in the yard. “You may be a treasure,” signed the cock, “to man, but for me I would rather have a single barley-corn.”
50. An old man on the point of death summoned his sons around hi to give them some parting advice. He ordered his servants to bring in a bunch of sticks, and said to his eldest son: “Break it.” The son tried hard, but with all his efforts was unable to break the bundle. The other sons also tried, but none of them was successful. “Untie it,” said the father, “and each of you take a stick.” When they had done so, he called out to them: “Now, break,” and each stick was easily broken.

"You are employed," he said. "Give me your e-mail address and I'll send you the application to fill in, as well as the date when you may start."
The man replied, "But I don't have an e-mail."
"I'm sorry," said the manager. "If you don't have an e-mail, that means you do not exist. And who doesn't exist cannot have the job."
The man left with no hope at all. He didn't know what to do, with only ten dollars in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy 10kg tomatoes.

第二节 读写任务 (共1小题, 满分25 分)
阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them each to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away. The first son went in winter, the second in the spring, the third in the summer and the youngest son in the fall.
When they all had gone and returned, he called them together to describe what they had seen. The first son said the tree was ugly and twisted. The second son said no, it was covered with green buds ad full of promise. The third son disagreed, he said it was filled with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful that it was the most graceful things he had ever seen. The last son disagreed with all of them, insisting that it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and satisfaction.
The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had seen but one season in the tree’s life. He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by one season. If you give up when it’s winter, you’ll miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, and satisfaction of your fall.
Don’t let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest!
