阅读下面短文，根据第1至第3小题的具体要求，简要回答问题。     A long time ago, Milton S. Hershey, the creator of the popular chocolate bars, was dipped in warm
chocolate. I know all about it. My grandfather was there!
     At nineteen, Hershey established a candy business in Philadelphia. Although it failed, he tried again
in several other cities and succeeded with Crystal A Caramels. But Hershey was not content. He began
experimenting with chocolate and managed to sell his first chocolate bars in 1900. They were an instant
success. In 1903, Hershey built a factory.
     Hershey was usually pleasant and kind and enjoyed a good joke. However, in his chocolate factory,
he held high standards for all the workers. He was both respected and feared. His anger would burst
out when things didn"t go as he"d expected, and workers were fired for mistakes.
     My grandfather began working in the factory as a young man. His job was to push the vats (大桶)
of warm chocolate to a storage area. To do this, he had to push the heavy vats up a ramp (斜坡) and
across the walkway. One day, Hershey was walking backward on the walkway while my grandfather
was pushing a vat of chocolate up the ramp. Bump. Clunk. Ker-plop! Hershey fell backward into the vat.
Everyone else held their breath and ran up to pull him out. Grandfather froze in fear. Was he going to
lose his job?
     Hershey stood stiffly with his hands on his hips. Color rose in his face. He said something in a low
voice. Then he smiled. "It"s not your fault, son," he said. "I need to watch where I"m going." He put
some chocolate in his mouth. "Mmm, that"s good," he said. Everyone laughed. The tour continued, with
Hershey dripping chocolate as he went. And Grandfather kept his job. 1. What did Grandfather do in Hershey"s factory? (回答词数不超过12个)
     ___________________________________________________________________
2. Why didn"t Hershey fire Grandfather? (回答词数不超过10个)
     ___________________________________________________________________
3. What does the incident show us about Hershey? (回答词数不超过15个)
     ___________________________________________________________________

1. He pushed the vats of warm chocolate to a storage area.
2. Because he realized it was his own fault.
Because he realized it was not Grandfather"s fault/mistake.
3. (It shows us that) Hershey was pleasant, humorous, kind (to others) and really respectable.

     Outside her shabby cottage, old Mrs. Tailor was hanging out laundry on a wire line, unaware that
some children lay hidden in the leaves of a nearby tree watching her every move. They were determined
to find out if she really was a witch.
     They watched as she took a broomstick to clean the dirt from her stone steps. But, much to their
disappointment, she did not mount the broomstick and take flight. Suddenly, the old lady"s work was
interrupted by the cackling of her hen-a signal that an egg had been laid in the warm nest on top of the
haystack.
     The old broomstick was put aside as she hobbled off towards the haystack followed by Sooty, a
black cat she had rescued from a fox trap some time back. With only three legs, it was hard for Sooty
to keep up with the old lady. The cat provided proof-the children were sure that only a witch could
own a black cat with three legs.
     There, standing on a wooden box, was Mrs. Tailor, stretching out to gather her precious egg. Taking
the egg in one of her hands, she began to climb down when, without warning, the box broke and the
old lady fell.
     "We have to got and help her," whispered Amy.
     "What if it is a trick?" replied Ben.
     "Don"t be silly, Ben. If she were a witch, she would have turned us into frogs already," reasoned
Meg. "Come on Amy, let"s go." The girls climbed down the tree and ran all the way to the haystack.
     Approaching carefully, they could see a wound on the old lady"s face. She had knocked her head
on a stone and her ankle was definitely broken. "Go and get Dad," Amy yelled to her brother. "Tell him
about the accident."
     The boys did not need another excuse to leave. They ran as fast as they could for help, hoping that
Mrs. Tailor would not wake and turn the girls into frogs.

1. Were the children hiding in the tree?

A. They wanted to watch Mrs. Tailor do her housework closely.
B. They were playing a hide-and-seek game.
C. They wanted to find out if the rumors about Mrs. Tailor were true.
D. They were pretending to be spies

2. Mrs. Tailor stopped sweeping when _____.

A. her front steps were clean
B. she noticed the children in the tree
C. she was ready to take a flight
D. she heard the hen cackling

3. Ben did not rush in help Mrs. Tailor because _____.

A. he thought that she could be necking them
B. he knew that they could not have been in the tree
C. he did not the old lady fall down
D. he was afraid of the three-legged cat

4. Which of these old sayings best suits the story"s lesson for us?

A. Make hay while the sun shines.
B. Never judge a book by its cover.
C. People in glasshouses should not the stones.
D. A bird in the hands worth two in the bush.
