阅读理解。     Pango was a village in India. The people were poor. 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. They told the villagers there were some people
elsewher e 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 places.
     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 better 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 (***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. 1. From Paragraph 1 we learn that the villagers ________.A. worked very hard for centuries                
B. dreamed of having a better life
C. were poor but somewhat content              
D. lived a different life from their forefathers2. Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs?A. The frogs were easy money.                
B. They needed money to buy visitors.
C. They wanted to please the visitors.            
D. The frogs made too much noise. 3. What might be the cause of the children"s sickness?A. The crops didn"t do well.                    
B. There were too many insects.
C. The visitors brought in diseases.              
D. The pesticides were overused. 4. What can we infer from the last sentence of the text?A. Happiness comes from peaceful life in the country.
B. Health is more important than money.
C. The harmony between man and nature is important.
D. Good old days will never be forgotten.

阅读理解     In the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression(侵略)in other animals. This sometimes
happens with humans as well. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see
it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat.
And I have discovered that it makes them happy.
     From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, bur sometimes I feel sad because those
who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don"t get to see this soft side of others often
and we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But
only when we stop pretending we"re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that"s in
them.
     Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more
slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside
me, horning (按喇叭) or even shouting at me. At the moment I decided to do something I had never
done in twenty years of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.
No more angry shouts and no more horns!
     When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to other drivers, "I have a problem here. I am weak and
doing the best I can." And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They
couldn"t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry,
they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.
     Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don"t feel that way. But more
often, it would be better if we don"t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are
brave when we are scared. 1. The author has discovered that people will feel happy when ______. A. they offer their help                  
B. they receive others" help
C. they feel others" kindness              
D. they show their weakness2. The author feels sad sometimes because ______. A. he has a soft heart                   
B. he relies much on others
C. some people pretend to be kind          
D. some people fail to see the kindness in others3. In this passage, the author advises us to ______. A. handle problems by ourselves          
B. accept help from others
C. admit our weakness                  
D. show our bravery4. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. A Wheel Chair Experience.            
B. Weakness and Kindness.
C. Weakness and Strength                
D. A Driving Experience

     As a young girl, Margaret "Mattie" Knight never played with dolls, preferring to make toys for
her brothers instead. In 1849, Knight went to work in a cotton factory where she witnessed a
"shuttle," a device that carries thread back and forth across a textile loom(纺布机), fly off the
machine when the thread broke, striking and killing a young boy about her own age.
     The 12-year-old Knight developed a safety mechanism that made it impossible for a shuttle to
leave the loom. The design was so effective, soon virtually every new power loom carried her
invention, saving countless workers from injury or death. Being so young, she didn"t bother to
patent the device, so she never received payment.
     Knight wouldn"t make the same mistake later in life when she invented a machine that could
produce flat-bottomed paper bags. Knight had built a small wooden model in her home, but she
needed a metal version to show it could hold up to the stress of mass production. So she hired
Charles Annan to make the full-sized machine for her, only to have him try to claim the patent for
himself. When Knight sued(起诉), Annan"s argument was that the design had to be his, because
no woman could possibly understand the complex mechanics. Knight proved him wrong when
she brought back her wooden prototype and explained how every part worked. She won the
case in 1871, making her the second woman to hold an American patent. Over a hundred years
later, her design is still used as the basis for many modern flat-bottom bag machines.
     But that wasn"t the last the world heard of Mattie Knight. During her lifetime, she made about
90 inventions and received 26 patents, becoming one of the most productive female inventors of
the 19th century.


1. We can learn from Paragraph 1 that ________.A. Knight behaved like boys
B. Knight had an unhappy childhood
C. Knight did a poor job of making toys
D. Knight liked inventing things as a child2. What do we know about Knight"s first invention?_______.A. It is still used today.
B. It brought her great profit.
C. It was made when he was 20.
D. It reduced injuries at textile plants.3. Knight sued Charles Annan because he _______.A. stole the wooden model for the machine she invented.
B. failed to make the full-sized machine for her
C. tried to patent her invention for himself
D. kept the metal version for himself4. What would be the best title for the text?_______.A. Mattie Knight"s fight for her patent
B. A great woman in the 19th century
C. "The female Edison", Mattie Knight
D. Great inventions, great woman
