ADuring the Second World War, an old man lived in a small town of Germany. He had three sons and they all worked in the same factory where he had worked. After the war had begun, his sons were all made to join the army one after another and they all died in the fights. The old man was very sad. He didn’t have enough food and was often hungry. And nobody helped him and he didn’t know how to go on living.It was a very cold winter night. The old man couldn’t go to sleep. He had been hungry for two days and it was so cold in his room that ice could be seen. He had to get up and began to run in the room until he lay down on the floor. The next morning he had to beg from door to door. He had been to a lot of cities and knew a lot.Once he came to a village, but the villagers were all poor and couldn’t give him anything. He was too hungry to go to another village. He thought hard and found a way. He came to a police station and called out, “Hitler is a foolish pig!”Out came an old policeman at once. He took the old man into a room, gave him some bread and a cup of tea. Then he said, “Don’t say so in our village, sir!”“I’m sorry, sir,” said the old man. “I don’t know it’s Hitler’s hometown.” “No, no, sir,” the policeman said in a hurry. “It’s pigs’ hometown!”1.

However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.Then one day,some visitors from the city arrived. The told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog’s legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other place.This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a be tter future. But the dream didn’t last long.The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around lately.The villagers decided that they couldn’t just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides(杀虫剂) and medicines. Soon there was no money left.Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn’t been useless. They had been doing an important job---eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.4 .

He should be good-looking, clean-shaven and drive a silver Mercedes. And, most important of all, he should be more than 178cm.Height is apparently more important than looks to women looking for Mr. Right, a survey claims. With blue eyes, short dark-brown hair and medium build, the ideal candidatewould appear to be the film star Jake Gyllenhaal. Looks aside, the perfect partner must also love pets and appreciate fine wine, theaters and nice restaurants. Coupled with this he should have a “wacky” sense of humor, accordin g to the study of 40,000 women by UK . Mr. Right wears smart jeans and a T-shirt, weighs exactly 80.5 kilos and is a doctor or a lawyer who owns a home in a good location.He has had three serious relationships, no more than six sexual partners, h as never been married and doesn’t have children.Also important is a university education: many women specify a man with a BA degree.Smokers and football fans were not popular.Only 1 percent of women questioned would date a man who hates pets. The majority ---66 percent ---want to find a partner who is fit. Even more---68 percent---are looking for a “wacky” sense of humor.David Brown, managing director of UK said, “ The female daters on our websites certainly know what they want and the y are not afraid to let the man know.”Fortunately for imperfect men, however, not all women go for the Gyllenhaal ideal. “ Cuddly lovers” were favored by 21 percent, while 16 percent would like to find a balding gent like Bruce Willis. Another 11 percent said their Mr. Right would be ginger, while 18 percent said they would prefer a man with grey hair. And 28 percent claimed they would not care how much a man would earn. Facial hair proved surprisingly popular: 28 percent of those surveyed admitted they like a goatee and 21 percent said they would like to meet a man with a moustache. Only 2 percent of women, however, said they wouldn’t mind dating someone who was less than 152 cm tall.8. In the eyes of British women, what is the most important for Mr. Right.A. sense of humorB. AppearanceC. heightD. job9. Which of the following is not considered the standard of Mr. RightA. Love for sportsB.MoneyC. AppearanceD.Good education10.

Perhaps, as a baby, you used to suck your thumb(拇指). Of course, you do not do that any more, but yo u can surely remember your mother’s efforts to train you. The good habits you now have in such matters as personal cleanliness were part of this early training.We may not suck our thumbs any more, but as we get older we get other bad habits. We can’t give them up easily, either.(Anyone who has tried to give up smoking knows this very well!) Each period brings its own problems. In babyhood, it’s thumb-sucking; in childhood, it’s nail-biting; in our teens, it’s smoking; in middle-age, it’s over-eating, and so on. And if anyone tells you that he has no bad habits, you can be sure that he must have the worst habit of all.12.
