Farmer John and Farmer Bob were neighbors. For more than 30 years, they had been getting along very well.
Then their good relationship broke. It began with a small thing, then bitter(尖刻的)words, and then weeks of silence(沉默). One morning Farmer John woke up to find a stream between the two farms. "It must be done by Bob," John thought.
Then one day there was a knock on John's door. He opened it to find a carpenter(木匠) standing at the doorway.
"I'm looking for a few days' work," the carpenter said.
"I do have a iob for you," John said. "Look at the stream at that farm. That's done by my neighbor, Bob. He dug a stream between the two farms. I want you to build a fence-an 8-foot fence. I don't want to see his place or his face any more. I don't have such a neighbor!"
The carpenter said, "I think I know what to do, sir, and I'll be able to do a job that will please you."
Farmer John helped the carpenter get the materials ready and then he was off for the day.
At about sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter finished his job. The farmer's eyes opened wide. There was no fence there at all!
It was a bridge. And the neighbor, Bob, was coming across it, with his hand outstretched (伸出)."Hi, John! You're quite a fellow to build this bridge!"
Then they met in the middle, taking each other's hands. "I'm terribly sorry for what I have said and done. We should be good to each other," said Farmer Bob.
Then they turned to see the carpenter, who was ready to go. "No, wait! Stay a few days. I have a lot of other jobs for you," said Farmer John. "I'd love to stay," the carpenter said, "but I have more bridges to build. "【小题1】Just before the carpenter came, John and Bob each other.

Once Mr King had a cat, and he loved it very much. He called it “Sky”, because he thought “Sky” was the strongest name in the world.
One day he had a meal at a restaurant with his cat. He met his old friend. He told him about his lovely cat and its name. His friend said, “How foolish you are! Sky is not the strongest thing in the world. My cat is called ‘Cloud’ because cloud is stronger than sky.” After hearing this, Mr King called his cat “Wind” because he thought wind was stronger than cloud.
After a few days he suddenly（突然）thought that “Wall” was stronger than wind. And “Mouse（老鼠）” was stronger than wall. So he went to his friend to ask for an idea. His friend said, “Don’t you think ‘Cat’ is stronger than mouse？” “Yes, but...”

One day in the eighth grade, I was taking a Math Test on basic trigonometry (三角学). Now for a middle school student, there was nothing basic at all about it. So I had studied for about two hours the night before. After reviewing it for some time, I had started to understand it, so then I closed the book and _________. However, it was not until midnight that I fell asleep. The next day, when I got the test, it might as well have been written in Serbian (which I don’t know how to read). I tried my best to work out the hard problems, but the numbers I came up with were strange. I sat back on my chair and looked for any possible answers, but I could not remember anything or think correctly. I started thinking about my dad coming home from work to find that I failed the test …
“How could you have failed the test? I am certain that nobody else in the whole class got as bad a grade as you did!”
Naturally I didn’t want that to happen. My dad was also really busy at work at present, so I was afraid that this might make him mad. When feeling hopeless, I noticed that my table partner was writing fast on his test. I could see smoke rising up from how fast he was writing. I was attracted to look over at his test, but then the many bad results I had heard about cheating (作弊) came into my mind. I reasoned that if I started cheating now, it would be hard to give up that habit during high school. In the end, I decided not to copy his answers, and got a B- on that test. Even though my dad gave me a hard time about it, it would have been a lot worse if he found out that I had given in and cheated.
【小题1】The writer might feel ______ before the Math Test.

| A．had breakfast | B．went to bed |
| C．took exercise | D．rode to school |
| A．proud of him | B．tired of him |
| C．strict with him | D．pleased with him |
| A．could read Serbian | B．didn’t cheat at last |
| C．got a good grade at last | D．didn’t work hard that night |
If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak. When you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.
When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.
If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents may be blamed, and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can't read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write but they still have to remember things. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories, so their memory has been exercised.
So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practice remembering things in a way as other people do.
【小题1】 Someone can't have a good memory if __________.
| A．he can't read or write |
| B．he doesn't use his memory |
| C．his parents haven't a good memory |
| D．he doesn't use his arms or legs for some time |
| A．you can't use them any more |
| B．they will become stronger |
| C．they become weak but they slowly become strong again |
| D．they become weak and won't become strong until you use them again |
| A．Your memory works in different way as your arms or legs. |
| B．Your memory becomes weak if you do not give it enough chance for practice. |
| C．Don't learn how to read and write if you want to have a better memory. |
| D．A good memory comes from one’s parents. |
| A．his own fault | B．his parents' fault |
| C．his teachers' fault | D．nobody's fault |
| A．using our arms or legs very often |
| B．reading and writing as much as we can |
| C．remembering things to improve our memory |
