Two travelling angels (天使) stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy (富有) family. The family was rude(无礼的)and refused to let the angels stay in the guest room. Instead the angels were given a space in the cold basement (地下室). 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 hospitable(好客的) farmer and his wife. After sharing the 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 (收入), lay dead in the field.

The younger angel was very angry and asked the older angel, “How could you watch out for the cow? The first man had everything, yet you watched over his house.” She accused (指责), “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 basement, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so greedy(贪婪的) and unwilling(不愿意的)to share his good fortune (财富).I asked the God if I could seal (封口) 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. The things aren't always what they seem.”

6.Why did the old 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 basement was too cold to stay in.

D.Because she believed that one should always be ready to help others.

7.What does the underlined phrase“the pair”in the second paragraph refers to?

A.The poor couple.    B.The rich couple.

C.The guests.             D.The angels.

8.The younger angel was very angry because ________.
