　　Shundagarh is a village on India's east-facing coast. It is a village of simple mud and grass houses built on the beach just above the waterline. The Khadra Hills rise immediately behind the village, to a height of one hundred and fifty meters. A simple, good-hearted old man, whose name was Jalpur, farmed two small fields on the very edge of these hills. From his fields he could see the fishing boats that travelled up and down the coast. He could see the children playing on the sands; their mothers washing clothes on the flat stones where the Shiva River flowed into the sea; and their fathers landing the latest catch or repairing nets and telling stories that had no end.

　　All Jalpur owned in the world were the clothes he wore day in and day out, the miserable (蹩脚的)hut that he slept in at night, a few tools and cooking pots, and his fields. The corn that he grew was all that made life possible. If the weather was kind and the harvest was good, Jalpur could live happily enough--not well, but happily. When the sun was fierce, and there was little or no rain, then he came close to the line between life and death.

　　Last year the weather had been so kind, and the harvest promised to be so good, that Jalpur had been wondering whether he could sell all that he had and live with his son farther up the coast. He had been thinking about doing this for some years. It was his dearest wish to spend his last days with his son and his wife. But he would go only if he could give; he would not go if it meant taking food out of the mouths of his grandchildren. He would rather die hungry than do this.

　　On the day when Jalpur decided that he would harvest his corn, sell it, and move up the coast, he looked out to sea and saw a huge wave, several kilometers out, advancing on the coast and on the village of Shundagarh within ten minutes everyone in Shundagarh would be drowned. Jalpur would have shouted, but the people were too far away to hear. He would have run down the hill, but he was too old to run. He was prepared to do anything to save the people of Shundagarh, so he did the only thing that he could do: he set fire to his corn. In a matter of seconds the flames were rising high and smoke was rising higher. Within a minute the people of Shundagarh were racing up the hill to see what had happened. There, in the middle of his blackened cornfield, they found Jalpur, and there they buried him.

　　On his grave they wrote the words: Here lies Jalpur, a man who gave,living; a man who died, giving.

1．Which of the following could Jalpur NOT see from his fields?

[　　]

A．Mothers washing clothes.

B．Fathers taking their corn to market.

C．Fishing boats traveling on the sea.

D．Children playing on the sands.

2．Why didn't Jalpur live well?

[　　]

A．He didn't work hard.

B．He had too many children to feed.

C．He only depended on good weather and harvest for survival.

D．The villagers kept taking his corn.

3．Jalpur's dearest wish was to _____.

[　　]

A．move away from his son

B．take a vacation up the coast

C．make a great deal of money in order to live an easy life

D．spend his last days with his son and his wife

4．What did Jalpur do when he saw the huge wave?

[　　]

A．He set his corn on fire so the people of Shundagarh would leave the beach.

B．He screamed loudly to get the villagers' attention.

C．He ran down the hill to tell the people.

D．He stood still, not knowing what to do.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　Hans was an honest fellow with a funny round good-humored face．Living alone, every day he worked in his garden．In all the countryside there was no garden so lovely as his．All sorts of flowers grew there, blooming in their proper order as the months went by, one flower taking another flower’s place, so that there were always beautiful things to see, and pleasant odors to smell．

　　Hans had many friends, the most devoted being the Miller．So devoted was the rich Miller to Hans that he’d never go by his garden without plucking a large bunch of flowers or a handful of sweet herbs, or filling his pockets with fruits．The Miller used to talk about noble ideas, and Hans nodded and smiled, feeling proud of having such a friend．

　　The neighbors thought it strange that the rich Miller never gave Hans anything in return, though he had hundreds of sacks of flour, many cows and sheep, but Hans never troubled his head about these, and nothing gave him greater pleasure than to listen to all the wonderful things about the unselfishness of true friendship．

　　In spring, summer, and autumn Hans was very happy, but when winter came, and he had no fruit or flowers to sell, he suffered from cold and hunger．Though extremely lonely, the Miller never came to see him then．

　　“There’s no good in going to see Hans while the snow lasts．” The Miller said to his wife, “When people are in trouble they shouldn’t be bothered．So I’ll wait till the spring comes when he’s happy to give me flowers．”

　　“You’re certainly very thoughtful,” answered his wife, “It’s quite a treat to hear you talk about friendship．”

　　“Couldn’t we ask Hans up here?” said their son．“I’ll give him half my meal, and show him my white rabbits．”

　　“How silly you are!” cried the Miller．“I really don’t know what’s the use of sending you to school．If Hans came up here, and saw our warm fire, our good supper, and our red wine, he might get envious, and envy is a most terrible thing, and would spoil anybody’s nature．I am his best friend, and I’ll always watch over him, and see that he’s not led into any temptation．Besides, if Hans came here, he might ask me for some flour．Flour is one thing, and friendship is another, and they shouldn’t be confused．The words are spelt differently, and mean quite different things．Everybody can see that．” He looked seriously at his son, who felt so ashamed that he hung his head down, and grew quite scared, and began to cry into his tea．

　　Spring coming, the Miller went down to see Hans．Again he talked about friendship．“Hans, friendship never forgets．I’m afraid you don’t understand the poetry of life．See, how lovely your roses are!”

　　Hans said he wanted to sell them in the market to buy back his things which were sold during the hard time of the winter．

　　“I’ll give you many good things．I think being generous is the base of friendship．” said the Miller．“And now, as I’ll give you many good things, I’m sure you’d like to give me some flowers in return．Here’s the basket, and fill it quite full．”

　　Poor Hans was afraid to say anything．He ran and plucked all his pretty roses, and filled the Miller’s basket, imagining the many good things promised by the Miller．

　　The next day he heard the Miller calling：“Hans, would you mind carrying this sack of flour for me to market?”

　　“I’m sorry, but I am really very busy today．”

　　“Well,” said the Miller, “considering that I’m going to give you my things, it’s rather unfriendly of you to refuse．Upon my word, you mustn’t mind my speaking quite plainly to you．”

　　Poor Hans was driven by his friendship theory to work hard for his best friend, leaving his garden dry and wasted．

　　One evening Hans was sitting by fire when the Miller came．

　　“Hans,” cried the Miller, “My little boy has fallen off a ladder and hurt himself, and I’m going for the Doctor．But he lives so far away, and it’s such a bad windy night．It has just occurred to me that you can go instead of me．You know I’m going to give you my good things, so you should do something for me in return．”

　　“Certainly,” cried Hans．He struggled into the stormy night, and got the doctor to ride a horse to the Miller’s house in time to save the boy．However, Hans got lost in the darkness, and wandered off into a deep pool, drowned．

　　At Hans’ funeral, the Miller said, “I was his best friend．I should walk at the head of the procession．” Every now and then he wiped his eyes with a handkerchief．

Andy rode slowly on his way to school，day-dreaming about the fishing trip that his father had promised him．He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he was unaware of everything else around him．

    He rode along until a strange sound drew him to the present．He came to a stop and looked curiously up to the heavens．What he saw shocked and terrified him．A huge swarm of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and the buzzing mass seemed to be heading angrily towards him．

With no time to waste，Andy sped off in the opposite direction，riding furiously—but without knowing how to escape the swarm．With a rapidly beating heart and his legs pumping furiously，he sped down the rough road．As the bees came closer，his panic increased．Andy knew that he was sensitive to bee stings(蜇)．The last sting had landed him in hospital—and that was only one bee sting!

“You’ll really need that fishing break to help you recover，’’ laughed his mother with relief．“Thank goodness you didn’t panic!” But Andy did not hear her．He was dreaming once again of the fish he would catch tomorrow．

Why did Andy fail to notice the swarm of bees earlier?

Terry was a middle-aged leather trader whose repeated failures in career made him a bad-tempered and disappointed man, often complaining that he had been cheated by others. One day he told his wife he was so disappointed with the city that he had to leave.
So his family moved to another city. It was the evening of a weekend. When Terry and his wife were busily engaged in tidying up their new home, the lights suddenly went out and they were forced to stop work. Terry regretted to have forgotten to bring along candles and had to wait helplessly in a bad mood. Just then he heard light,hesitand（犹豫的）knocks on his door that were clearly heard in the quiet night.
“Who’s it?”he wondered. Terry didn’t know anybody in the new city, and this was the moment he especially hated to be disturbed. He went to the door and opened it impatiently. At the door was a little girl, asking in a shy voice,“Sir, do you have candles? I’m your neighbor.”“NO,”answered Terry rudely. He shut the door.“What a nuisance!”he grumbled（嘟囔）over it with his wife.“No sooner had we settled down than the neighbor came to borrow things. What’ll be the next? How bothering!”
He was angry about it when the door was knocked at again. He opened it and found the same little girl outside. But this time she was holding two candles. She said, “My grandma told me the new neighbor downstairs might need candles. She sent me here to give you these.”Terry was struck by what he saw. When he became fully aware, he said,“Thank you and your grandma. God bless you!”
At that moment he suddenly realized what caused his failure in life. It was his coldness and harshness（刻薄）with other people. The person who had cheated him in life was actually nobody else but himself, for his eyes had been blurred（使模糊）by his cold mind.
