There once was a master who went to India. He had never been there before. When he got there, he saw a lot of f 1. . In India they have plenty of fruit to sell, but much of it is expensive b 2.  they can’t grow much as a result of the water situation. He saw a big basket of some very red, long fruit. And it was the c 3.  in the shop, not expensive at all.

He went up and asked，“how much per kilo?”“Two rupees.”Two rupees in India is almost

a 5.  he ate some of it: Oh, my god! His eyes watered, his mouth watered and burned, his eyes were burning, his head was burning and his face became red. He jumped up and down, saying，“Ah! Ah! Ah!”

But he s 6.  continued to eat! Some people looking at him shook their heads and said，“You’re crazy. Those are chilies (辣椒)! You can’t eat them like that. They’re not fruit!” However, the master said, “No, I can’t stop! I paid money for them, and now I’ll eat them. It’s my money!”

You may think that master was s 7. , right? Similarly, we sometimes do a lot of things

Even though the suffering experience tells us it won’t w 9. , and we know there’s no hope things will change in the future—we still continue just because we’ve devoted money, time, effort and love to it. Just like the man who ate the chilies and suffered so much but couldn’t stop.

So even if you’ve lost something, let it g 10.  and move on. That’s better than continuing to lose.

Alice was now in a long dark room with doors all round the walls, and she could not see the White Rabbit anywhere.
She tried to open the doors, but they were all locked (锁上的). “How will I ever get out again?” she thought sadly. Then she saw a little glass table with three legs, and on the top of it was a very small gold key. Alice quickly took the key and tried it in all the doors, but she couldn’t open any.
Then she saw another door, a door that was only forty centimetres high. The little gold key unlocked this door easily, but Alice couldn’t get through it—she was much too big. So she lay on the floor and looked through the open door, into a beautiful garden with green trees and bright flowers.
“I’d like to be out there—not in this dark room. Why can’t I get smaller?” It was already a very strange day, and Alice was beginning to think that anything was possible.
After a while she locked the door again, got up and went back to the glass table. She put the key down and then she saw a little bottle on the table. Round the neck of the bottle was a piece of paper with the words DRINK ME in large letters.
“It can be dangerous to drink out of strange bottles,” she said. “What will it do to me?”She drank a little bit very slowly. The taste was very nice and very soon Alice finished the bottle.
“I think I’m getting smaller and smaller every second.” And she was. “And now,” she said happily, “I can get through the little door into that beautiful garden.”
She ran at once to the door. Then she remembered that the little gold key was back on the glass table. She ran back to the table for it, but she was now much too small! The key was high above her, on top of the table. She tried very hard to climb up the table leg, but she couldn’t do it.
At last, tired and unhappy, she got angry with herself. Soon she saw a little glass box near her on the floor. She opened it, and found a very small cake with the words EAT Me on it.
Nothing could surprise Alice now.
【小题1】 Where did Alice find the little gold key according to the story?

Once there were two crows (乌鸦)whose opinions(观点) were always opposite.
One day, one of the crows said to the other, “ You should realize, of course, that I can fly much higher than you.”
“ Don’t be ridiculous (荒谬的).” the other crow said. “ Everyone knows that I can fly much higher than you.”
“No, you can’t” the first crow said.
“Yes, I can” the second crow replied, and the argument went on and on.
At last they decided to have a contest to solve the argument.
“ We will compete to find out who can fly higher while carrying a bag” the first crow said.
They argued for some time because of the size of the bag, but at last came to an agreement.
Then there was a further argument about what each bag would be filled with. Finally, they agreed that the first crow would fill his bag with cotton and the second crow would fill his with salt.
The first crow thought he was clever to agree to this, because salt is much heavier than cotton. At last they were ready for the contest. Holding their bag in their mouths, they flew into the sky.
They had not been flying for long. However, when it began to rain- as the second crow had expected it would. Can you guess who could fly higher?
【小题1】The two crows were arguing about ____
