    This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a batter future. But the dream didn’t last long.     

    The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around lately.

    The villagers decided that they couldn’t just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides(杀虫剂) and medicines. Soon there was no money left.

    Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn’t been useless. They had been doing an important job---eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.

       Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.

    56. From paragraph one we learn that the villagers __________.

    A. worked very hard for centuries     B. dreamed of having a better life 

    C. were poor but somewhat satisfied   D. lived a different life from their forefathers 

    57. Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs?

    A. the frogs were easy money        B. They needs money to buy medicine

    C. they wanted to please the visitors   D. the frogs made too much noise

    58. What might be the cause of the children’s sickness?

    A. the crops didn’t do well              B. there were too many insects

    C. the visits brought in diseases        D. the pesticides were overused

    59. What can we infer from the last sentence of the text?

    A. Happiness comes from peaceful life in the country 

    B. Health is more important than money

    C. The harmony between man and nature is important 

    D. good old day will never be forgotten

    I found the imagination of becoming a grandmother somewhat discouraging. I wasyounger than I thought a grandmother should be when I got the news that I was goingto become one myself. I admit, it was not a role that I was emotionally ready toaccept. I had been a young mother, and had certainly hoped my daughter would notface that same challenge. I remarried when she was a teenager, and then had two morechildren. On getting the news that she was expecting, I remember thinking “What do Iknow about being a grandmother? —I haven’t even finished raising my own kids yet!”I don’t like to be unprepared, so I read a few books about grandparenting. That gaveme a little help, but I was still uncertain. I thought about other grandmothers I knew,and got a few ideas I liked and a few more that I didn't. But I couldn't quite figure outwhat kind of grandmother I wanted to be. Then I thought about my own grandmother,Granny, as she’s known by most people, and I knew I had the answer.
    I didn’t realize it until that moment, but my own grandmother was the examplefor the kind of grandmother I wanted to be. I am fortunate that I got to spend a lot oftime with my grandparents when I was a little kid. Here's what I learned from myGranny：
    Grandmothers always have a cookie jar. For my entire life, Granny always had acookie jar full of cookies. When I was a little tiny girl, just at eye level with thecounter, Granny would get the cookie jar down for me. When I was a little older Ilearned how to pull the chair over so I could reach. As I got taller, if I really stretched,I could reach the cookie jar with my finger tips and move it close enough to get it downoff the counter to find out what kind of treat was inside. Always the first thing I didwhen I went to Granny 's house was check the cookie jarand there were alwayscookies in it. Many years later, I’ll drive my own children to Granny’s house and thefirst thing Pd do is get us all a cookie.
    So grandmothers must have a cookie jar and on my granddaughte’ s firstChristmas, my daughter bought me my own cookie jar. She said when they came to seeme, her daughter would find the treat the way she did and I did.

         Rising above the names I was shopping in the supermarket when I heard a young voice.
         "Mom, come here! There's this lady here my size!"
         The mother rushed to her son; then she turned to me to apologize.
         I smiled and told her, "It's okay." Then I talked to the boy, "Hi, I'm Darryl Kramer. How are you?"
         He studied me from head to toe, and asked, "Are you a little mommy?"
         "Yes, I have a son," I answered.
         "Why are you so little?" he asked.
         "It's the way I was born," I said. "Some people are little. Some are tall. I'm just not going to grow any
    bigger." After I answered his other questions, I shook the boy's hand, and left.
         My life as a little person is filled with stories like that. I enjoy talking to children and explaining why I
    look different from their parents.
         It takes only one glance to see my uniqueness. I stand three feet nine inches tall. I was born an
    achondroplasia dwarf (侏儒). Despite this, I did all the things other kids did when I was growing up.
         I didn't realize how short I was until I started school. Some kids picked on me, calling me names. Then
    I knew. I began to hate the first day of school each year. New students would always stare at me as I
    struggled to climb the school bus stairs.
         But I learned to smile and accept the fact that I was going to be noticed my whole life. I decided to make
    my uniqueness an advantage rather than a disadvantage. What I lacked in height, I made up for in personality.
         I'm 47 now, and the stares have not diminished as I've grown older. People are amazed when they see
    me driving. I try to keep a good attitude. When people are rude, I remind myself, "Look what else I have-a
    great family, nice friends."
          It's the children's questions that make my life special. I enjoy answering their questions. My hope is that
    I will encourage them to accept their peers (a person of the same age, class, position, etc.), whatever size and
    shape they come in, and treat them with respect.
