Uncle Li and Uncle Wang are good friends. They live next to each other and their farms are both at the foot of the mountain. They often help each other. But neither of them likes to use his head. They're both poor though they work hard. Most villagers have built new houses, but Uncle Li and Uncle Wang still live in the low and broken houses. They never find out why.

Once Uncle Li went to town to buy some medicine for his wife. In the town he heard the apples in a city were expensive. He told Uncle Wang about it as soon as he went back. They decided to carry some apples to the city. They borrowed some money from their friends, bought nearly 1,000 kilograms of apples and carried them to the city on a tractor(拖拉機). Bad luck! A lot of apples had already been carried there when they arrived. A few days later they had to sell them at a low price. They felt unhappy and returned to their village.

“I can't understand why we sustained(蒙受) losses in business while others always profit,” Uncle Li asked one day.

“The tractor was too small,” Uncle Wang said without thinking. “We'll carry more apples on a truck next time!”

“I agree!” said Uncle Li. “How foolish we were!”

V．任務(wù)型閱讀

Last Sunday，my grandfather took me to the park to play．I had a great time there．My grandfather told me that my life was better than his．On the way home，I asked my grandfather to tell his life story．

At that time，my grandfather’s family was not rich．He didn’t have time to play after school，and he always helped his parents on the farm．When it was dark(黑暗的)，my grandfather went home．After he had supper，he did his homework in the poor light．For the holidays．my grandfather often stayed at home to help his parents．He never travelled，because his family didn’t have much money．

In summer，the weather was very hot and my grandfather often went to the river to play with his friends．They swam and caught(捉)fish in the river．At that time，my grandfather had no money to buy toys，so he made toys by himself to play，like spinning tops(陀螺)and sleds(雪橇)．

Hearing my grandfather’s life story,I know that I have a good life and I decide to study hard．
