One day a ragged(衣衫檻樓的)beggar(乞丐)was creeping along from house to house. He carried an old wallet in one hand and at every house he asked for a little money to buy something to eat. As he was complaining at his misfortune(不幸),he kept wondering why people who had so much money were never satisfied and always wanted more.

He thought that if he only had enough money to buy food and clothing, he would be very happy and wouldn't want anything more.

At that moment, Fortune came down the street. She saw the beggar and stopped. She said to him:" I want to help you. Hold out your wallet and I will pour this gold into it, but only on this condition. All that falls into your wallet will be pure gold, but all that hits the ground will turn into dust. Do you understand?"

"Oh, yes I understand." said the beggar.

"Your wallet is old. Don't put too much in it," said Fortune.

The beggar opened his wallet and a stream of pure gold flowed into it. His wallet grew heavy.

"You are the richest man in the world now," said Fortune.“I think you should stop! Your wallet is going to break!" However, the beggar said he wanted one more handful. Fortune added one more handful and the wallet split. All the gold fell to the ground and turned to dust. The beggar had nothing but his empty wallet. He was as poor as he had been before.

1.What did the beggar want money for?

A.To make more money. B.To buy some food and clothing.

C.To buy himself a new wallet. D.To do some meaningful things.

2.How did Fortune try to help the beggar?

A.She kept pouring gold coins into his old wallet. B.She gave him enough gold coins in his pocket.

C.She told him to take as much gold as he wanted. D.She advised the beggar to hold out his old wallet.

3.What do you think of the beggar?

A.Greedy. B.Unselfish. C.Wealthy. D.Forgetful.

請認(rèn)真閱讀下面短文并用英語回答問題,將答案寫在橫線上。

A girl riding a bike hit and scratched(刮)a parked expensive car by accident when she was busily looking at a road sign. That poor girl was Zhang Yu, an 18-year-old college student from Yunnan Province. Instead of running away, she decided to wait for the owner of the car. The honest girl wanted to say sorry for the accident.

Zhang Yu was scared when Song Ming, the owner of the car, saw her standing beside his car. Knowing that she had waited in the hot sun for an hour and that she was from a poor family, he was deeply moved. He told her that she didn't need to pay any money for the scratched part of the car. Hearing the words, Zhang Yu bowed(鞠躬)at once and thanked Song Ming sincerely.

The heartwarming moment didn't end there. Li Qiang was the boss of the factory where Song Ming worked. After hearing what had happened, he was also deeply moved. He told the story to his workers and announced, "It is great that Song Ming didn't ask Zhang Yu to pay, and I would like to help her to complete her college education."

During the following three years, Zhang Yu made great efforts to study and took an active part in different activities to develop her abilities with the help of Li Qiang. By the time she left college, she had been an excellent student. Having competed with many others, she got a job at Li Qiang's factory. That excited her most.

One good turn deserves(應(yīng)得)another.

1.Why did Zhang Yu make the decision to wait？

___________________________________________________________________________

2.How might Zhang Yu feel when Song Ming told her not to pay for the scratched part of the car?

______________________________________________________________________________

3.If you were Song Ming, would you ask Zhang Yu to pay for the scratched part of the car? Why or why not?
