Most of my sweet memories are from my childhood. There are always so many interesting things in the far away village where I grew up. One thing that leaves a deep impression on me is shearing the sheep.
In my village, sheep are washed and sheared (剪毛) sometime in the month of June. This should be done quite early in the month, before the hot days begin.
It's best for the sheep to have the wool taken off, or they will be too hot in the summer time.
When the time comes for washing the sheep, they are driven to a pond or a little river.
Then they are thrown into the water, one at a time. The men who are in the water catch them, and wash them to get the dirt all out of the wool.
When the wool is dry, the sheep are taken to the shearer; and he cuts off the wool with a large pair of shears.
In a short time, before the cold winter comes, new wool grows out on the sheep. By the coming of spring, there is so much that it must be cut off soon.
When are sheep sheared usually?
| A．In February. | B．In June. |
| C．In April. | D．In August. |
According to the passage, why do people cut off the wool of sheep?
| A．They do that for fun and pleasure. |
| B．They do that as a sport and exercise. |
| C．They do that to help sheep spend hot summer. |
| D．They do that to make sheep look more beautiful. |
What does the underlined word "shears" in Paragraph 6 mean?
| A．Knives | B．Scissors. |
| C．Baskets. | D．Rivers. |
How often do people shear their sheep?
| A．Several times a year. | B．Twice a year. |
| C．Once a few years. | D．Once a year. |
