      Class 5A was the worst class in Hill Valley High School. The students were badly behaved and had no
interest in their lessons.
      When a new principal (校长) came to work at the school, he decided to do something about Class 5A.
      On the second day of school he left his office and walked to 5A's classroom. He didn't need to know
where it was. He could hear them. They were making a terrible noise.
      He stood outside the classroom for a few moments and looked inside through the window. He was
disgusted (感到厌恶的) by what he saw.
      Some boys were fighting. Others were throwing things at one another. No one was doing any work.
      The principal had experienced badly behaved classes before. He knew what to do. He would go into
the classroom, take hold of the biggest boy in the class and punish him. This would be an example to the
others.
      He took a deep breath and opened the classroom door. The students paid no attention to him. 
      "Silence!" he shouted at the top of his voice.
      This time the students stopped what they were doing and looked at him. Quickly he walked up to the
oldest-looking boy in the room. He was also the noisiest boy in the room and had been shouting at the others
at the top of his voice.
      He took hold of him by the ear and pulled him to the front of the class.
      "I'm going to punish you as an example to the others," he said. "Now go to my office and wait for me."
      Then he turned to the class and gave them a lecture about how they should behave in school. 
      When he had finished what he said, "Does anyone have any questions?" 
      One of the students put up her hand, "Yes, sir. I have. When can we have our teacher back?"
1. The principal _____.

    Miss Gogers taught physics in a New York school. Last month she explained to one of her classes about
sound, and she decided to test them to see how successful she had been in her explanation. She said to them,
"Now I have a brother in Los Angeles. If I was calling him on the phone and at the same time you were 75
feet away, listening to me from across the street, which of you would hear what I said earlier, my brother or
you and for what reason?"
    Tom at once answered, "Your brother. Because electricity travels faster than sound waves." "That's every
good," Miss Gogers answered; but then one of the girls raised her hand, and Miss Gogers said. "Yes, Kate."
    "I disagree," Kate said. "Your brother would hear you earlier because when it's 11 o'clock here it's only
8 o'clock in Los Angeles."

     It was Monday. Mrs. Smith's dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house.
     Considering that there was no better way, Mrs. Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following
words on it "Give my dog half a pound of meat." Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently, "Take
this to the butcher, and he's going to give you your lunch today."
     Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher's. It gave the paper to the butcher. The
butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady's handwriting and soon did it as he was asked
to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up at once.
     At noon, the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it, he
gave it half a pound of meat once more.
     The next day, the dog came again exactly at noon. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth.
This time, the butcher did not take a look at paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had regarded the dog as
one of his customers (顾客).
     But, the dog came again at four o'clock. And the same thing happened once again. To the butcher's more
surprise, it came for the third time at six o'clock, and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt
a bit puzzled. He said to himself, "This is a small dog. Why does Mrs. Smith give it so much meat to eat
today?" 
     Looking at the piece of paper, he found that there were not any words on it!

A. before he felt sure that the words were really written by Mrs. Smith on Monday
B. when he found that the words on the paper were not clear

D. until he was paid enough by Mrs. Smith
3. From the story, we can know that the dog was very ______.

D. foolish

     A good friend of mine lives with six hundred wild animals on a Greek island. Ever since he left school
(where I first knew him)he has traveled all over the world collecting animals for his very own zoo. He hoped
to collect two examples of every kind of animal on his island, like Noah before the Great Flood. But the flood
that my friend was afraid of, was a flood not of water, but of people. I think you have heard of my friend; he
writes books about his travels, and about the wild and wonderful animals that he collects. The money from the
books helps to pay for all the food that these animals eat. 
     My friend told me that when he was out looking for water last week (there is not enough water on the
island, though there is plenty all round it), he found oil. He needs money for his travels, and for his zoo, and a
little oil would buy enough water for all his life; but he knows that if he tells anybody else about it, it will be the
end of his zoo, and his life's work.
     I know my friend,he will not tell anybody (except you and me) about what he found-because oil and water
do not mix.
1. My friend is afraid of _____.
[     ]
A. a great flood
B. too many people
C. a lot of animals
D. a great deal of oil
2. How does he get money for his animals "food"?
[     ]
A. He travels all over the world to collect money.
B. He sells oil on the island.
C. He writes books and sells them.
D. He shows his animals to people
3. My friend knows oil and water do not mix. He knows that _____.
[     ]
A. he can't mix oil with water
B. he won't get water if people come to look for oil
C. he won't find water and oil in the same place
D. he can't have both money and the zoo

                                                                 How to Become Cleverer
      Once a boy came to ask a fisherman how to become cleverer, because his mother always called him
"foolish boy".
      "That's easy," answered the fisherman. "I know one way to make you become cleverer."
      "Really?"
      "Of course. It is said a fish head is good for brain. If you eat one, you'll become cleverer indeed. Pay
only three pounds for one fish head." The boy paid him three pounds and the fisherman cut off a fish head
and handed it to him.
      A raw fish head is not good-not even for a hungry boy to eat but the boy ate it up in two gulps.
      "Do you feel anything?" asked the fisherman. 
      "Not in my head," said the boy.
      The boy lay on the ground and thought. "One whole fish costs only two pounds. I had paid him three
pounds for the fish head. Why couldn't I have the whole fish for soup, a head for brain and one pound left
over?" He jumped up and shouted at the fisherman. "You thief! You are fooling me!" The fisherman laughed,
saying, "The fish head works now, you see."
