Once there lived in our town a poor family．They were so poor that there was almost nothing in the house but a pot under a   1    table．In it there was a little rice   2   from their neighbour for the coming New Year．On New Year's Eve（除夕夜），the wife had already fallen asleep，but the husband was   3   in bed，worrying about their life．Suddenly he heard someone breaking into the room．

“It must be a thief，” he thought，“but it doesn’t matter．The thief can   4   nothing．” He didn't shout or move．But he kept watching over the thief．

The thief came into the house and was only interested in the rice under the table．

“But   5   can I take it away?” the thief thought hard．Then he had an idea．He  6   his coat，put it on the ground between the bed and the table and turned around to take the pot．

Now the husband knew what the thief would do．He picked up the coat quickly and  7   himself with it   8   the thief turned back．

The thief took the pot，and put the rice onto the coat．Then he began to feel it．But he was  __9   to find that his coat had gone．

“Hey，” he shouted out．The voice woke up the wife．She asked her husband，“Did you hear any sound? Maybe there is a thief in the room．”

“Shut up!(闭嘴)” replied her husband，“  10   to sleep．There is no thief in the room．”

“That’s impossible，”the thief shouted loudly，“If there isn’t a thief，then，where is my coat?”

Advice on Doing Your Homework

Never try to work when you are very hungry．If you want to do your homework right after school，you may want to eat something before getting to work．Always do your homework before you get too tired．Don't wait until late in the evening，or the assignment will seem much harder than it really is．

Divide your time into a few parts if you have more than an hour's work．Relax yourself after an hour．However, don't divide it up so much that you can't get anything done．You should be able to work at least half an hour at a time without stopping．

Don't put off（推迟）until the last minute．If you put off doing your homework，you will have it on your mind and you won't enjoy your free time．If you put off until the end of the week or until right before a test．you will have too much to do．A little bit each night，enough to keep up with what is happening each day in school，will take the fear out of tests and keep you on top of it．

Do your homework at the same time every day．This will help you make it a habit--part of your daily work．It will make it easier to do, and it will make your free time more enjoyable as well．

1．When someone is hungry，he'd better            ．

A．not work at all      B．work harder         C．not work too hard   D．work as usual
