Our village carpenter (木匠) , John, came one day and made a dining table for my wife．He made it just the right size for the space between the two windows．When I got home that evening, John was drinking a cup of tea and writing out his bill for the job.

My wife said to me quietly,“That’s his ninth cup of tea today．”But she said, in a loud voice,“It’s a beautiful table, dear, isn’t it？”

“I’ll decide about that when I see the bill.”I said.

John laughed and gave me his bill for the work．I read:

One dining table 10 November, 1998

Cost of wood $17.00

Paint $1.50

Work, 8 hours ( $1 an hour ) $8.00

Total $36.50

When I was looking at the bill, John said, “It’s been a nice day, hasn’t it？Quite sunny．”

“Yes.”I said．“ I’m glad it’s only the tenth of November．”

“Me, too.”said John．“You wait — it’ll be a lot colder by the end of the month．”

“Yes,colder — and more expensive! A dining table will be $20 more expensive on November 30, won’t it, John？”

John looked hard at me for half a minute．Was there a little smile in his two blue eyes？I gave his bill back to him.

“If there isn’t too much trouble, John,” I said,“please add it up again．You can forget the date…”

I paid him $26.50 and he was happy to get it.

Henry worked on a ship, doing tricks (魔术). Each week he showed the same tricks over and over again, because the passengers on the ship were different. There was also a parrot on the ship. It saw the shows so many times that it understood everything. Then it started shouting during the show:

“Hey, he has put the flowers under the table!”

“ All the cards are the same.”

“Look carefully. It’s a different hat!”

Henry was very angry but could do nothing.

One day the ship had an accident and broke into pieces. Henry fell into the water. When he climbed up onto a piece of wood, he found the parrot there.

阅读下列短文，从各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项

Zhalong is a nature reserve in Heilongjiang in northeast China. It is one of the world’s most important wetlands. The area provides food and shelter for wildlife. It is an ideal home for different kinds of plants, fish and birds.

Many birds live comfortably in Zhalong Nature Reserve all year round, while some only stay for a short time. There are many fish in the wetlands, and the birds can easily catch them for food. Zhalong Nature Reserve is an important living area for the rare red-crowned cranes. There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world. Some of them live in Zhalong.

Some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings. This means that there will be less and less space for wildlife.

More and more birds are in danger because they do not have enough living space. Many of them died. The Chinese government wants to protect these endangered birds, and they can be safe in Zhalong.

Every year a lot of tourists go to Zhalong to watch birds. This year members of our Bird watching Club are going to study the different kinds of birds in Zhalong and the changes in their numbers. The study begins next month.

We do a bird count once a year. We are now inviting secondary school students to help. We need more people to help us count and do something to help the birds. Many people do not understand the importance of the wetlands. We hope this information will help them understand and make them actively take action to protect wildlife.
