One cold winter evening, some young families and young couples were eating in a McDonald’s when an old couple walked slowly into McDonald’s hand in hand. Some of the customers looked admiringly at them .You could tell what the admirers were thinking. Look, there is a couple who has been through a lot together, probably for 60 years or more.” The little old man walked right up to the cash register, placed his order with no hesitation(迟疑) and then paid for their meal. The couple took a table near the back wall and started taking food off the tray. There was one hamburger, one order of French fries and one drink. The little old man unwrapped(打开) the plain hamburger and carefully cut it in half. He placed one half in front of his wife. Then he carefully counted out the French fries, divided them in two piles and neatly placed one pile in front of his wife. He took a sip(吸) of the drink, his wife took a sip and then set the cup down between them. When the man began to eat his few bites of hamburger, the crowd began to get restless. Again you could tell what they were thinking. “That poor old couple. All they can afford is one meal for the two of them.” Then, the man began to eat his French fries, when one young man stood and came over to the old couple’s table.

Then the crowd noticed that the little old lady hadn’t eaten a bite. She just sat there watching her husband eat and occasionally taking turns sipping the drink. When the little old man finished eating and was wiping his face neatly, the young man could stand it no longer. Again he came over to their table and offered to buy some food. After being politely refused again, he finally asked a question of the little old lady. “Ma’am, why aren’t you eating? You said that you shared everything.

“Now ,”Mrs. Virginia DeView said, smiling, “we are going to discover our professions .” The class seems to be greatly surprised. Our professions? We were only 13 and 14 years old! The teacher must be _36 _. “Yes, you will all be searching for your future 37 .

“Where is Papa going with that ax (斧子)?” said Fern to her mother as they were setting the table for breakfast. “Out to the hoghouse,” replied Mrs. Arable. “Some pigs were born last night.” “I don’t see why he needs an ax,” continued Fern, who was only eight. “Well,” said her mother, “one of the pigs is a runt (发育不良的小动物). It’s very small and weak. So your father has decided to do away with it.” “Do away with it?” shouted Fern. “You mean kill it?” “Don’t shout, Fern!” she said. “Your father is right. The pig would probably die anyway.” Fern pushed a chair out of the way and ran outdoors. The grass was wet and the earth smelled springtime. Fern’s shoes were wetting by the time she caught up with her father. “Please don’t kill it! It’s unfair,” she said. Mr. Arable stopped. “Fern,” he said gently, “you will have to learn to control yourself.” “This is a matter of life and death, and you talk about controlling myself.” Tears ran down her cheeks and she took hold of the ax and tried to pull it out of her father’s hand. “Fern,” said Mr. Arable, “I know more about raising a group of pigs than you do. A weak pig makes trouble.” “But it’s unfair,” cried Fern. “The pig couldn’t help being born small. If I had been very small at birth, would you have killed me?” Mr. Arable smiled. “Certainly not,” he said, looking down at his daughter with love. “But this is different. It’s a pig.” “There is no difference,” replied Fern. 小题1:What puzzled Fern at the beginning?A.Why her father refused to eat breakfast. | B.If the hoghouse was big enough for many pigs. | C.How pigs were born at night. | D.What his father would do with an ax. | 小题2:Why couldn’t Fern control herself?A.Because she was afraid of killing a pig. | B.Because the pig was treated unfairly. | C.Because she loved pet pigs very much. | D.Because her father was rude to her. | 小题3:According to the passage, Fern’s father thought that ______.A.it was natural for pigs to be born small | B.he couldn’t afford to have so many pigs | C.a weak pig needed more attention | D.he was troubled by raising a weak pig | 小题4:It can be inferred from the passage that Fern was _________.A.kind-hearted | B.brave | C.shy | D.patient |
