下面是几则寓言小故事:
56. An ant went to the bank of a river to quench its thirst, and being carried away by the rush of the stream, was on the point of drowning. A dove sitting on a tree overhanging the water plucked a leaf and let it fall into the stream close to her. The ant climbed onto it and floated in safety to the bank. Shortly afterwards a birdcatcher came and stood under the tree, aiming at the dove. The ant, perceiving his design, stung him in the foot. In pain the birdcatcher shouted, and the noise made the dove take wing.
57. Two men were travelling together, when a bear suddenly met them on their path. One of them climbed up quickly into a tree and hid himself in the branches. The other, seeing that he must be attacked, fell flat on the ground, and when the bear came up and felt him with his snout, and smelt him all over, he held his breath, and pretended to be dead as much as he could. The bear soon left him, for he will not touch a dead body. When he disappeared, the other traveller descended from the tree, and asked his friend what it was the bear had whispered in his ear. “He gave me this advice,” his companion replied. “Never travel with a friend who deserts you at the approach of danger.”
58. A prince had some monkeys trained to dance. Being naturally good at learning, they showed themselves excellent pupils, and in their rich clothes and masks, they danced as well as any of the courtiers. Their performance was often repeated with great applause, till on one occasion a courtier, bent on mischief, took from his pocket a handful of nuts and threw them upon the stage. The monkeys at the sight of the nuts forgot their dancing and became (as indeed they were) monkeys instead of actors. Pulling off their masks and tearing their robes, they fought with one another for the nuts. The dancing spectacle thus came to an end in the laughter and ridicule of the audience.
59. A cock was once strutting up and down the farmyard among the hens when suddenly he noticed something shining in the straw. "Ho! ho!" said he, "that’s for me," and soon rooted it out from beneath the straw. It turned out to be a pearl that by some chance had been lost in the yard. “You may be a treasure,” signed the cock, “to man, but for me I would rather have a single barley-corn.”
60. An old man on the point of death summoned his sons around him to give them some parting advice. He ordered his servants to bring in a bunch of sticks, and said to his eldest son: "Break it." The son tried hard, but with all his efforts was unable to break the bundle. The other sons also tried, but none of them was successful. “Untie it,” said the father, “and each of you take a stick.” When they had done so, he called out to them: “Now, break,” and each stick was easily broken.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Americans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of a lift operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian clothes.
. The television repairman who wears a uniform is likely to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a hairdresser, or a waiter to lose professional identity than to step out of uniform?
. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills. They are often more comfortable and more lasting than civilian clothes.
Primary facts among the arguments against uniforms are their lack of variety and the loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement..
. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.
A.Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. |
B.Why are uniforms so popular in the United States? |
C.The importance of wearing a uniform is stated as follows. |
D.People tend to expect higher quality from a man in uniform. |
E. People enjoy wearing comfortable uniforms.
F. Uniforms also have many practical good points.
G. When looking alike, people are likely to think, speak and act similarly on the job at least.
____. Being angry doesn’t really solve much, but what people do when they feel angry is important. The goal is to calm down and try to solve what is bothering you. This is hard for some kids and adults, too. Instead of calming down, some kids might keep getting more and more upset until they explode like a volcano!
____. Their anger might be so strong that they lose control of their temper. They may act in ways unacceptable and hurtful. People may say that someone has trouble controlling their temper. __
___.
Some kids might get so angry that they scream at their parents, break something, or even worse, hit their brothers or sisters. _____. However, it’s not OK for a kid to do any of those things. Kids don’t want to act in this way, but sometimes angry feelings can be hard to manage. So what to do?
Well, the good news is that kids don’t just have to keep making the same mistakes over and over again. _____ . Imagine your temper as a puppy inside you that needs some training. The puppy is not bad ---- it will probably turn out a great dog. It just needs to learn some rules because, right now, that puppy is causing some problems to you.
A.You can train you temper |
B.You don’t want to cause trouble |
C.Kids should be allowed to express their feelings, even angry ones |
D.Everybody gets angry sometimes |
E. In fact, they usually mean that a kid behaves badly when feeling angry

Meet the magic folk
Throughout the ages and across the world, fairies(童话故事)have come alive in the stories, poems, and songs passed down from the old to the young. Some amazing stories about fairies have come to us from the British Isles.
Merrows are Irish fairy mermaids(美人鱼). The females are very gentle and beautiful with fishes’ tails. Merrows sometimes come onto land disguised(伪装)as small, white cattle or as beautiful women wearing bright red feather caps.
Leprechauns(矮妖)are fairies that appear as tiny old men. They like to be alone most of the time, making and mending shoes and keeping their pots of gold well hidden. If a human catches a leprechaun and asks for its gold, the leprechaun must hand it over. If the human looks away for even an instant, the leprechaun will joyfully disappear.
Brownies are hairy little men who do chores(杂事)in houses and on farms during the night. All they want as payment is food, and they get very angry if humans watch them do their work. If a brownie is given clothes as a present, he’ll disappear forever.
Selkies are seal fairies. Female selkies sometimes come to shore and take off their sealskins to play on the beach in human form. Like merrows, if a human finds a selkie’s sealskin, she can’t go back to the ocean. If she finds her sealskin, she happily returns to the sea, leaving her human husband and children…but she comes close to shore to watch over them from time to time.
A.Here are some of these fairies. |
B.Most sailors at sea hope never to see a merrow. |
C.But it is far trickier(狡猾的)than it looks! |
D.A selkie is quiet and lovely, with dark hair and sad eyes. |
E. Instead, she must obey(服从)the human who keeps it and usually marries him.
F. Perhaps this is because he rushes back to show off his new clothes to the others.
G. If a human steals this cap, a merrow can’t go back to the sea and must stay on land.
