阅读理解。     Two thieves came to a house to steal something. They dug a hole in the wall of the house.
     There lived many mice in the house. The woman in the moonlight saw a mouse crawl (爬行) into the
house."Look! In comes one," she said to the man in the house. The thief was so frightened that he hurriedly
crawled out of the house and said to the one waiting outside,"She found me when I was just in." But the thief
outside didn"t believe him, so he said,"Let us two try to crawl into the house together." At that time two mice
happened to crawl into the house, too. The woman saw the mice and shouted,"In come two, catch them!" The
two thieves were terribly frightened. The man in the house said,"You saw them come in but where are they? I
will catch them tonight." The two thieves started running away at once.
     The two thieves wanted to make it clear whether they had been found or not the night before. The next day
they acted as men selling sweet potatoes and came before the house. The man and the woman were ploughing
in their fields. The rein (缰绳) broke and the woman came home for a rope. She saw two men selling sweet
potatoes and wanted to buy some. She picked out two which looked like mice. At the time the man couldn"t
wait for her any longer in the fields and he ran back from the fields to hurry her up. The woman showed the
sweet potatoes to the man and said,"How they look like the two of last night." The man said,"I asked you to
fetch a rope, why don"t you hurry for it?" The two thieves ran away very quickly without their sweet potatoes. 1. The two thieves failed to steal anything from the house because _____. A. they were found out
B. they were frightened by what they had heard in the house
C. they didn"t work together well with each other

     A man once said how useless it was to put advertisements in the newspaper."Last week," he said,"my
umbrella was stolen from a London church. As it was a present, I spent twice its worth in advertising, but
didn"t get it back."
     "How did you write your advertisement?" asked one of the listeners, a merchant.
     "Here it is," said the man, taking out of his pocket a slip cut from a newspaper. The other man took it
and read,"Lost from the City Church last Sunday evening, a black silk umbrella.. The gentleman who finds
it will receive ten shillings on leaving it at No. 10 Broad Street."
     "Now," said the merchant,"I often advertise, and find that it pays me well. But the way in which an
advertisement is expressed of extreme importance. Let us try for your umbrella again, and if it fails, I"ll buy
you a new one."
     The merchant then took a slip of paper out of his pocket and wrote: "If the man who was seen to take
an umbrella from the City Church last Sunday evening doesn"t wish to get into trouble, he will return the
umbrella to No.10 Broad Street. He is well known."
     This appeared in the newspaper, and on the following morning, the man was astonished when he opened
the front door. In the doorway lay at least twelve umbrellas of all sizes and colors, and his own was among
them. Many of them had notes fastened to them saying that they had been taken by mistake, and begging the
loser not to say anything about the matter.

     Chen Guanming has been carrying his home with him for the past seven years. He has done everything a
man would to make it cozy.
     The 53-year-old farmer has spent the hottest summers and severest winters cooking, eating and   1   in his
mobile home: a shaky tricycle. Chen began his journey on the three-wheel rickshaw from his   2   Jiangsu
province in 2001 after hearing the news that Beijing had won the bid to host the 2008 Olympic Games. Of

mission (使命). Mission? What mission?"To promote awareness on health and the environment, just like what
the Games has been doing," he says. It may   4   funny, but make no mistake that Chen is dead   5   about it.
"I"m a poor farmer I can"t do much. But I have a healthy body. I want to use it to show the    6   of the
Chinese people and the spirit of the Olympics." He would have   7   all of China except Taiwan when he
reaches Beijing tonight. He speaks lively about his experiences in all the places on the mainland,   8   about an
incident in Chongqing in August 2003. "I was riding up a slope and my brakes failed my rickshaw and began
sliding down and overturned," he says. He had his legs broken but did not go to a hospital. Instead, he used

wouldn"t want to believe he has crossed so many mountains and  10   in his tricycle. But you look at the piles
of evidence and become a silent admirer of this determined soul.

     Like many lovers of books, Mary and her husband, Richard Goldman, seldom walked past a bookstore
without stopping to look inside. They often talked of opening their own store one day.
     When Mary was hospitalized with heart trouble in 1989, they decided it was time to get serious. Richard,
who worked for a business company, was eager to work for himself, and Mary needed to slow down from
her demanding job.
     They started by talking to bookstore owners and researching the industry."We knew it had to be a specialty
store because we couldn"t match the big chains dollar for dollar," says Mary. One figure caught her attention:
She"d read somewhere that roughly 20 percent of books sold were mysteries (推理小说), and many buyers
spent more $300 a year on books. She and Richard were themselves mystery readers.
     On Halloween 1992, they opened the Mystery Lovers Bookshop and Café near their home. With three
children in college, the couple could not spend all the family"s money to start a shop. To cover the $100,000
cost, they drew some of their savings, borrowed from relatives and from an bank.
     The store merely broke even in its first year, with only $120,000 in sales. But Mary was always coming up
with new ways to attract customers. The shop had a coffee bar and it offered gifts to mystery lovers and
served dinners for book clubs that met in the store. She also invited dozens of writers to discuss their stories.
     Today Mystery Lovers makes sales of about $420,000 a year. After paying taxes, business costs and the
six part-time sales clerks, Richard and Mary together earn about $34,000.
     "The job you love may not go hand in hand with a million-dollar income," says Richard."This has always
been about an enjoyable life for ourselves, not about making a lot of money."
1. When Mary was in hospital, the couple realized that ____.
A. they had to put their plan into practice
B. health was more important than wealth
C. heart trouble was a serious illness
D. they both needed to stop working
2. After Mary got well from her illness they began _____.
A. to study industrial management
B. to buy and read more mystery books
C. to do market research on book business
D. to work harder to save money for the bookstore
3. How did their bookstore do in the first year?
A. They had to borrow money to keep it going.
B. They made just enough to cover all the costs.
C. They succeeded in earning a lot of money.
D. They failed though they worked hard.
4. According to Richard, the main purpose of running the bookstore is _____.
A. to pay for their children"s education
B. to get to know more writers
C. to set up more bookstores
D. to do what they like to do
