The captain of a ship and a businessman were friends. The merchant had a young son, who wanted to be a sailor (水手), so the captain took him on voyages (航海) in his ship.

One day when the captain had returned from a voyage with a lot of money, the businessman told him that the price of iron (铁) had fallen and suggested that he should buy some with his money. "I'll keep it for you in my storehouse until you return from your next voyage, and perhaps you'll get more money for it when you sell it."

While the captain was away, the price of iron went up steeply(急剧地). The businessman sold it and kept the money. When the captain came back, his dishonest friend told him that he was very sorry, but rats had eaten all the iron. The captain knew that his friend was lying, but he remained calm and said, "I knew that you had problems with rats in your storehouse."

A few days later, the captain started out on another voyage. When he returned home, he said to the businessman,"I'm very sorry, but during our voyage a bird came down and carried your son away." The businessman was very puzzled and said, "Birds cannot carry boys!" " Neither can rats eat iron," answered the captain.

When sailors are allowed ashore (在岸上) after a long time at sea, they sometimes get drunk and cause trouble. So the navy(海军) always has naval police in big ports(港口). When sailors make trouble, the naval police come and deal with them.

One day, the naval police in a big seaport received an urgent(紧急的) telephone call from a bar in the town. The barman said that a big sailor had got drunk and was breaking the glasses, tables and chairs in the bar. The officer who was in charge of (负责) the naval police that evening said that he would come at once.

Now officers who had to go and deal with sailors who were heavily drunk usually chose the biggest naval policeman they could find to go with them. But this officer did not do this. Instead, he chose the smallest and weakest-looking man he could find to go to the bar with him and arrest(拘留;逮捕) the sailor who was breaking the things in the bar.

Another officer who happened to be there at the time was surprised when he saw the officer choose such a small man. He said to him, "Why don't you take a bigger man with you? You may have to fight the sailor who is drunk."

"Yes, you are right." answered the first officer. "That is exactly why I am taking this small man. If you saw two policemen coming to arrest you, and one of them was much smaller than the other, which one would you attack?"

6. What do sailors do when they are allowed ashore?

D. to arrest people who get drunk and cause trouble

8. This officer chose________to go with him.

B. the strongest naval policeman

C. the smallest naval policeman

D. the youngest naval policeman

9. Why doesn't the naval officer take a big man with him?

A. Big men can't fight very well.

B. Small men are good fighters.

C. He thinks a drunk sailor will attack a bigger man first.

D. He thinks a drunk sailor will attack a smaller man first.

10. From the story, we can deduce(推断) that the officer was ________.

C. humorous (滑稽的)

D. none of the above

Babies love chocolate-and sometimes they also eat the paper around it. My cat enjoys a meal of good, thick paper and letters. She doesn't like newspapers very much.

Paper comes from wood. Wood comes from trees, and trees are plants. Vegetables and fruit are plants too, and we eat a lot of them. So can we also eat wood and paper?

Scientists say: "All food comes in some way from plants." Is this true? Animals eat grass and grow fat. Then we eat their meat. Little fish eat sea-plants, then bigger fish swim along and eat them. Chickens eat grain and give us eggs and meat. Think for a minute. What food does not come from plants in some way?

Scientists can do wonderful things with plants. They can make food that is similar to meat and cheese. And they can make it without the help of animals. It is very good food too. Now they have begun to say:"If we can make paper from wood, perhaps we can also make food from wood. They say: "We can turn paper into food. It will be good, cheap food too; cheaper than meat or fish or eggs."

So please keep your old books and letters. (Don't feed them to your cat.) One day, soon, they will be on your plate. There is nothing like a good story for breakfast.

11. What does paper come from?

A. Vegetables. B. Food.

C. Plant. D. Wood.

B. It will not be long before food can made from paper.

C. Scientists can do terrible things with plants.

D. Scientists can't make food without the help of animals.

Some people in a hotel were talking about the happiest part of a man's life.

"It's best to be young," said an old man. "A boy is taken care of by his parents. He gets everything from them. He's strong and has a good life."

"No," said a woman. "Children are often ill. They can't always do what they want to. They must obey (遵守) their parents. It's better to be a young man. He can always find work, because people like young employees. He can make money and travel to different places."

"But he can't do as he likes," said the old man. "He has to work for older people. And a young man is not often rich."

"A young man may fall in love and he will be very happy." said the woman. "Oh, no," said the old man. "If a young man falls in love, he will be sad. Some young people commit suicide(自杀) when they are in love."

"Not many," said the woman.

"Even if he finds a good girl and marries her, he won't be happy," the old man continued. "He must work harder since he has a family. He will always fear losing his job."

"But he will be happy when he's older," she said. "If he works hard when he is young, then he will have a lot of money in his old age. So an old man is happiest. His work is done. He can sit by the fire, walk in the country, talk to friends and live in a nice house. He can do anything he likes."

"But he may soon die, and he's afraid. He's often ill, and he cannot do what he could before." said the old man. "So you're not happy?" asked the woman. "Not very," answered the man.

"When is a man happy then?"

A young man near them spoke for the first time. "I know the answer to this question," he said. "Call no man happy until he is dead. The ancient GREeks said that, and they were right."

16. ________were talking about the happiest part of a man's life.

A. Three people
