For some unknown reason, one day the two friends got into a silly　    . The tiger said, “Everyone knows the cold　    when the moon wanes from full to new! ” The lion said, “Where did you hear such nonsense? Everyone knows the　    comes when the moon waxes from　    to full! ”

The argument got stronger and stronger. Neither could　     the other. They could not　     any conclusion to resolve the growing dispute. They　     started calling each other names! Fearing for their friendship, they decided to go to ask the learned forest　     , who would surely know about such things.　

Visiting the　     hermit, the lion and tiger bowed respectfully and put their question to him. The friendly monk thought for a while and then gave his　     . “It can be cold in any phase of the　     , from new to full and back to new again.

The lion and tiger thanked the wise hermit. They were happy to　     　be friends.

Last month in Paris, a French company auctioned two brone sculptures ---- a rat’s head and a rabbits head captured from China, which has aroused great public concern in China.

 

As a reader，I，as many other book lovers do，often leave with a long sigh after visiting a bookstore.The prices printed on book jackets keep reminding me how thin my wallet is.

The price of books is now so high that I hesitate before buying a book I love.Many people feel the same way.But I remember that only a few years ago，when I was a college student，I bought several books almost every month，using what was left out of the living expenses sent by my parents，and that was not more than 200 yuan.

But now that I am working and the money I earn is only used to support my own expenses，I find I can’t afford many good books.

There is a saying，“Book lovers have no money，but rich people have no feelings for books.” This is exactly the case.Sometimes I wonder about who the books are published for，especially those books with beautiful hard covers.

It is said that usually，the listed price is more than twice as much as the book’s cost and we can see high profits from selling books.But now there is a contradiction.On one hand，readers who want to buy books aren’t able to，while on the other hand，publishers and sellers suffer from the large stockpiles of unsaleable books being stored in their warehouses.This situation is also a disadvantage to intellectual property right protection because many books of bestsellers are sold at a lower price at some book stands.

The key to resolve the problem is to cut the price to an acceptable level to both sellers and consumers.

I wish sincerely that in the near future common readers like me could buy the books we want without worrying about the high prices too much.

D．both A and B

49．From the fifth paragraph，we can see________.
