A rat looked through a crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife opening a package. What food might it contain? But he discovered that it was a rattrap (捕鼠夹).

Going back to the farmyard, the rat started to give a warning.

The rat turned to the pig and told him: “There is a rattrap in the house, a rattrap in the house!”

    ‘Tm sorry ,Mr. Rat,” said the pig,“I can only say this is something terrible to you, but it is of no influence to me. I cannot be bothered with it.”

The rat turned to the cow. But the cow said,“Like wow ,Mr. Rat? A rattrap? I am in danger, Huh?”

The rat returned to the house, head down and dejected. So the rat had to face the farmer's rattrap alone.

That very night, a sound was heard throughout the house,like the sound of a rattrap catching its prey (猎物)The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness ,she did not notice that it was a poisonous snake whose tail had been caught by the trap. The snake bit her.

The farmer rushed her to hospital. She returned home with a fever. Everyone knows that a fever could be treated with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his knife to the farmyard for the soup. However, his wife's sickness continued.

The farmer's friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer killed the pig. But she didn't get well. Finally, she died and so many people came for the last sight that the farmer had the cow killed to provide meat for all of them.

My son Jack, a fourth grader, was having a hard time in getting interested in story books recently, so I offered to read the first few chapters to him. In the early pages of ‘Incident at Halk Hill’, a quiet little boy has a special meeting with a female badger (獾).Soon after, another badger is caught in a steel leg trap(陷阱), and the author describes in detail the pain and scare of an animal struggling to its death. We meet the cruel hunter and his ill treatment of a dog; we see the badger being skinned by the boy's father;and we experience the child's confusion when beaten by his father in anger. Pretty heavy going for ten-year-olds, I thought.

Last night , I returned from a weekend away to find that Jack had finished the whole book on his own. “It was really, really good and sad, and violent,” he reported. “There was a lot of killing.”

“Were there any happy parts?" I asked,

"The boy's life was saved by the badger, and that was good. But then that badger got caught in a trap again and at the end it's dying, too. ” Jack said, "It was so sad that I almost cried. ”

I told him that many books have made me cry, beginning with Heidi, when I was just his age, right on up to the novel I finished last week.

“Well,” he admitted then, “I actually did cry. Reading that book just reminded me of all the sadness in the world, and it made me feel sad ,too. ”

So, I think, now he has been through the sad tone of the passage , the discovery that words on a printed page can give rise to such strong emotion ,that a book can move you right out of your own comfortable little self and into someone else's pain. Thus we come to realize that if we are to remain fully engaged in life, open to its mysteries and feel sorry towards its suffering, we indeed need stories to grab(抓住) us by the neck and remind us of the sadness in the world that is not our own.

64、‘Incident at Halk Hill’ is a _______story.

    A. sad        B. happy      C. funny       D. boring

65、The underlined sentence “Pretty heavy going for ten-year-olds" means____

    A. the book is too long for a ten year old child

    B. the book is too difficult for a ten year old child
    C. the book is too violent(暴力) for a ten year old child
    D. the book is too pretty for a ten year old child

66、According to the passage , stories can be something to help you_____

    A. enjoy your spare time              B. develop your care for animals

    C. realize the truth of life          D. think about your own life

67、By writing the passage, the writer mainly wants to____
    A. tell a story that interested his son

    B. show the importance of reading stories

    C. share an experience between himself and his son

    D. show how to make children interested in books
