【题目】 There was once a farmer who had an excellent olive(橄榄树)orchard(果园). He was very hard-working and the farm always prospered(繁荣)with his efforts. But he knew that his three sons didn’t like the farm work at all and they were thirsty for wealth.

When the farmer felt that his life had to come to an end, he called his three sons to him and said, “Dear sons, there is a pot of gold hidden somewhere in the olive orchard. Go and dig for it if you want it.”

The sons tried to ask him in which part he had put the gold, but he didn’t tell them. After the farmer died, the three sons went to dig for the gold although they didn’t know where the hiding-place was. They dug and dug until they turned the whole land upside down but no pot of gold was found. It seemed that someone might have stolen it. The three sons were disappointed to have all their work for nothing.

As the next olive season arrived, the olive trees in the orchard had more fruit than few years ago. When all the fruit was sold out, the three sons got a lot of gold from it. Suddenly, they realized that their clever father led them to discover the wealth and find out “the hidden gold” by themselves.

【题目】 Once Louis the Twelfth, the King of France, happened to walk into the kitchen of his palace. There he found a small boy busy at work and singing happily.

The boy had bright eyes, and a happy, sunny face, and his looks and manners pleased the king. With a smile Louis asked him his name. He replied that his name was Simon. In answer to further questions, the king learnt that the boy was an orphan: both his father and mother were dead.

“Are you content to do this kind of work?” the king asked, pointing at the bowls which the boy was washing. “Are you willing to spend your time in the kitchen when so many of the others work upstairs?"

“Why not?” answered the boy, with a twinkle in his eyes. “I am doing as well as the best of them. The king himself can do no better.”

“Indeed!” said the king, no little surprised at the boy's words. “How do you know that?”

“Well, sir, the king lives, and so do I. I am content with my life. Can the king say that he is content with his life?”

Louis walked away, and his mind was full of strange, sad thoughts. No one knew better than he did that kings seldom feel content.

The next day, much to Simon's surprise, he was called by the king. He was still more surprised when he found that his visitor of the day before was Louis himself. The king talked with him about many things, and found him to be a very quick and clever boy.

After that Simon was made to serve the king directly. Step by step, he rose from one important task to another, until he became one of the best soldiers of that time. He is known in history as General La Roche, and considered as one of the greatest men in France.

If Simon had not, early in life, learnt to be content with his life, he might never have been given those chances. The king did not want people who were always unhappy because they did not have as good a place as some others. You cannot too soon learn that only those who are content are happy.

【题目】阅读填词

They say that “travel is the best teacher” and there is no better example of this idea than the Ming dynasty (朝代)travel writer and geographer Xu Xiake( 1587-1641).

B1 into a wealthy Jiangyin family, Xu became interested in books about different places at an early age and wanted to travel. When he was 18, however, Xu's father died and so, it seemed, did his travelling dreams. He now was responsible for the family farm and taking care of his 60-year-old mother as t2 required.

But his mother had different ideas. Understanding her son's love of travel and valuing the k3 he could get from such experiences, this modem-thinking woman refused to keep her son at home. She agreed that Xu could travel for three months every year, when there was l4farm work.

So at the age of twenty and with his mother's support, Xu set off for the first time, l5 behind not only his mother but his new wife well. He would r 6 this goodbye each year for most of the next 30 years. Although rich, Xu avoided c7 travel, preferring to go almost everywhere on foot. This way he could research the environment in detail ( 详细地) and get a t8 picture of the natural world. During these years, he travelled throughout the Ming kingdom, carefully studying the lands he passed through and r 9 his experiences and many discoveries in a diary. This diary, which once had over 500,000 words, would eventually b10The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake.
