Two travelling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was impolite and refused to let the angels stay in the guest room. Instead the angels were given a space in the cold underground room. As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied, "Things aren't always what they seem."
The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very kind farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had, the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night's rest. When the sun came up the next morning, the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their only income, lay dead in the field.
The younger angel was very angry and asked the older angel, "How could this happen? Why did you not watch out for the cow? The first man had everything, yet you watched over his house," she accused. "The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you did not help."
"Things aren't always what they seem," the older angel replied. "When we stayed in the underground room , I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so greedy and unwilling to share his good fortune, I asked God if I could seal the wall so he couldn't find it. Then last night as we slept in the farmer's bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I asked God if the angel could take the cow instead. You see, things aren't always what they seem. "
【小题1】Why did the older angel repair the hole for the rich family?

A.Because she didn't like the greedy owner.
B.Because she wanted to save the gold for the poor.
C.Because the underground room was too cold to stay in.
D.Because she believed that one should always be ready to offer help.
【小题2】The younger angel was very angry because ________.
A.the older angel killed the farmer's cow
B.the older angel treated the two families differently
C.the wealthy man gave them a bad place to live in
D.the angel of death took the cow away
【小题3】Why did the older angel let the farmer's cow die?
A.Because God wanted the older angel to take the cow.
B.Because she wanted to teach the younger angel a lesson.
C.Because she wanted to save the farmer's wife.
D.Because she was sympathetic to the rich.
【小题4】The story tries to tell readers that ________.
A.angels are always ready to help the poor
B.sometimes things are not what they seem
C.angels are always ready to help the rich
D.the young should always learn from the old


【小题1】A

The Writers' Strike:Making the Best of the Worst

       By now you are probably feeling the effects of the TV writers’ strike---the decision of television writers to stop working.With few new TV shows, I present to you a list of shows available on DVD worth your viewing time to keep you going during this painful period.

       Arrested Development is one of the funniest and most clever shows ever to have appeared on network TV.With a most perfect cast(全体演员), the show sets out to cover the daily happenings of the Bluth family, a group of selfish staff who manage to still put family first.

       For more comedy goodness, I recommend one of the sharpest comedies to have ever broadcast, 30 Rock.Starring Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin, two stars with impressive comic timing, the show gives you a glimpse into the making of a sketch show (幽默短剧),similar to Saturday Nigth Live, from the funny writers to the self-centered cast all the way up to the boss.

       If you are looking for something more serious, or perhaps Friday Night lights might be more to your liking.If you are a fan of football, this show is probably for you.If you are a fan of great drama, both soapy and serious, this show is probably for you, If you are a fan of good-looking people, this show is definitely for you .

       If those shows were not enough for you, might I recommend a show with a more heart-pounding excitement? The Amazing Race, after twelve seasons, still remains one of the most exciting shows on TV.Teams of two travel the globe with little to no money and experience far-out adventures in an attempt to remain the last team standing.

If you are fond of soapy TV shows, you will probably choose to watch      

       A.Friday Night Lights          B.30 Rock

       C.the Amazing Race         D.Saturday Night Live

From the DVD shows listed above, we can learn that   

       A.two teams won the amazing race

       B.football fans enjoy the Amazing Race

       C.the Bluths care about their family though selfish

       D.30 Rock and Saturday Night Live have nothing in common

       A.the effects of the TV writers’ strike are great

       B.the strike puts TV shows in the worst situation

       C.watching DVD is a good choice during the strike

       D.we should choose DVD shows according to our tastes
