One day a farmer went out for a walk with his little son. The farmer wore a pair of wrong shoes. One had thick sole(厚鞋底) but the other didn’t. He began to walk and then his feet hurt. When he was just out of the house, he turned to his son and said, “Why is one of my legs longer than the other today?”

The son looked at his father’s legs carefully as he was walking and then laughed, “Oh, no, Daddy. Your legs are all right. You’re wearing the wrong shoes.” The farmer was very happy to hear that and said to himself, “What a clever son!” Then he asked his son to go back and got the other pair of shoes for him. The farmer had only two pairs of shoes.

When the son ran back to the house, he found that the other pair was also a wrong pair. He had to return to his father with nothing in his hands and said, “It’s no use changing them, Daddy! The shoes at home are not a pair, either!”

Today, after many days of practice and lots of matches, we entered the basketball final.
I was the leader of the team. At the very beginning, one student from our team got the ball and quickly shot a basket. Oh, it went in, 2:0. All our classmates cheered.
But after a few minutes there were some mistakes and we lost eight points. I changed two players, but it didn’t help.
At that time all our teammates felt worried and we even quarreled with each other angrily.  “It’s no use crying over spilt milk!” I shouted, “We must face it !” Let’s think about our mistakes and stop making them!”
We had a short meeting . The second half of the match began. There was a big change. At first, our team got the ball and I shot from the three-point line at once. The ball did a beautiful curve and went straight into the basket.
I become very confident. The other team was still very strong.
A good chance came! I got the ball again and shot into the basket! 12:9! I couldn’t believe my eyes! Am I that good at shooting? How could I get so many points?
We stayed in the lead. Finally the score was 18:16. We won!

This March, the H7N9 virus hit Zhejiang, Shanghai, Anhui, Jiangsu and so on. It seemed that most people who were infected（被感染）with H7N9 had the common flu. Some people suffered from a fever or a cough.

Don’t be afraid---it’s not easy to be infected with the virus. Here is some advice to help you protect yourself when it comes.

Wash your hands. You need to wash your hands with soap and hot water before you eat, after you use the toilet , and after you touch animals, because your hands may carry viruses.

Cover your nose and mouth, when someone sneezes（打喷嚏）or coughs, flu viruses can travel as far as one meter through the air, so you’d better stand a proper distance while talking to someone who has a cold. And always cover your nose and mouth with a piece of paper when you sneeze or cough, and then clean your hands.

Wear a mask（口罩）. Some doctors say that masks can stop the flu as much as 80%, but if you don’t wash your hands often, it’s no use wearing a mask. And it’s necessary to wear a mask in the groups of people.

Do sports often. Exercise will help your body strong enough to resist the virus.

1.How many ways to stop the virus are mentioned in the passage?

A. Three             B. Four                         C. Five                          D. Six

2.What does the underlined word “resist” mean in Chinese?

A. 抵抗              B. 传播                       C. 感染                       D. 治愈

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Some people who were infected with the H7N9 virus had a toothache.

B. You should cover your mouth and nose with a piece of paper when you sneeze or cough.

C. Some doctors say that washing your hands can stop the flu as much as 80%.

D. It’s easy to be infected with H7N9 virus, so you mustn’t go to the places with groups of people.

4.What’s the main idea of this passage?

A. It tells us how to wash hands.

B. It tells us why we should use masks.
