An old farmer lived with his little grandson. Every day the farmer got up early to read books.
One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa! I want to read books just like you, but I don’t understand them. What are the advantages of reading?” The grandfather said, “Take this litter basket to the river and bring me back a basket of water.” he boy did, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandfather laughed and said, “ You’ll have to walk faster next time.”
This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned home. The boy said, “ See Grandpa, it’s useless!”
So you think it is useless?” the old man said. “Look at the basket.”
The boy looked at the basket and for the first time he realized that the basket was different. It was clean, inside and out.
“That’s what happens when you read books. You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read them, you will be changed, inside and out.”

試題分析：
小題1:.通過 the farmer got up early to read books.可知，農(nóng)民起早是為了讀書。所以本題選D。
小題2:我們通過閱讀可知，小孩的爺爺讓他用籃子打水，當然水會漏出來。所以本處的laked out應該是“漏出”的意思。所以本題選C。
小題3:通過閱讀全文，我們可知，A說是為喜歡問問題的孩子寫的，但文中并沒有體現(xiàn)，這個孩子好問問題，所以A是不正確的；B說是為喜歡玩水的孩子寫的，顯然是錯誤的；C說是為不喜歡農(nóng)業(yè)的孩子寫的，很明顯也是不對的；通過 I don’t understand them. What are the advantages of reading?可知，D是正確的。
小題4:通過It was clean, inside and out.可知，經(jīng)過兩次的打水，籃子以及干凈了。所以本題選B。
小題5:B說老農(nóng)與孫子開玩笑，很明顯是錯誤的；C說小孩最后打滿了一籃子水，通過again the basket was empty可知，是不對的；D說老農(nóng)看到孩子拿著空籃子，很生氣，通過文章可知是錯誤的。A說老農(nóng)可能通過閱讀改變了，應該是對的。所以本題選A。
點評：本文講述了一位老農(nóng)，讓孫子兩次去打水，通過打水來講述讀書好處的故事。閱讀故事時，應該體會老農(nóng)讓孫子用籃子打水的意圖，特別是注意老農(nóng)最后的話，對文章起到畫龍點睛的作用。

C
Like many people ,I have no clear idea about heroes . A t some point , we all wonder if we need a hero and what a hero really is.
Although there are a lot of differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics (特點) which give us courage  and make us want to learn from them.
A hero does something worth (值) talking about, A hero has a special story to tell and people think highly of it. But a hero is not just person with great fame (聲譽).
A hero has power(力量) larger than himself . Some people want to live like a hero. And they have to experience life with new and further meaning .A sure test for would- be heroes is what or whom they serve. What do they want to live and die for? If their answer suggests they serve only own fames, they may be famous persons but not heroes.
A hero has a vision from the mountain top .He has the power to move people . He creates new possibility. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of Britain, Without Martin Luther King .Jr, Americans might take different parks , and shop in different stores of the different colors of their skins.
