    Long ago, Bluebird’s feathers were the colour of dust. She did not like her ugly colour. She was attracted by the colour of the lake near her home. It was as blue as the sky after a storm. Bluebird wanted to be the colour of that beautiful lake very much. Flapping her wings one morning, Bluebird flew from her tree to the blue lake. Then she bathed in the water three times. After each bath, she sang, “Blue water. Still water. I went in. I am blue.” Bluebird repeated this every morning. On the third day, she came out of the lake with beautiful blue feathers.
    Now Coyote was a trickster(骗子)—and hungry too. He stayed behind Bluebird’s tree for a long time every day and watched her go to the lake. He pretended(伪装) to be interested in everything she did. He wanted Bluebird for lunch, but he was afraid of the blue water. On the third morning, Coyote saw Bluebird come out of the lake with beautiful blue feathers. Impressed, he sat next to Bluebird’s tree and waited for her. When she returned, he asked, “How did you get blue feathers? I want to be blue like the mountains too.” Bluebird didn’t believe Coyote, but she taught him how to bathe three times each morning and how to sing her song. Coyote did what she said, and after three days of bathing in the lake, his white fur turned deep blue.
    Convinced(确信的) that blue fur was even more beautiful than blue feathers, Coyote forgot all about being hungry. He ran as fast as he could to the top of the hill. Standing on his back legs, he raised his front legs off the ground and howled. But Coyote slipped(滑倒) and rolled down the hill. He couldn’t stop himself, and the dust and dirt covered his new blue fur. He rolled and rolled until he hit into Bluebird’s tree heavily. No matter how much he tried, foolish Coyote could not shake the dust from his fur. And so the fur of all coyotes had the dull colour of dust to this very day.
    【小题1】How many times did Bluebird bathe every morning before she had beautiful blue feathers?
    A．Three times.B．Four times.C．Five times.D．Six times.
    【小题2】Why was Coyote a trickster?
    A．He wanted to fly like Bluebird near the mountains.
    B．He wanted to eat Bluebird but pretended to be curious.
    C．He wanted to swim in the lake but was afraid of the water.
    D．He wanted to sing Bluebird’s song but didn’t know the words.
    【小题3】Where did Coyote go after his fur turned blue?
    A．To the lake.B．To the tree.C．To the cave.D．To the hill.
    【小题4】Why did Coyote forget all about being hungry?
    A．Because his fur had the dull colour of dust.
    B．Because the dust and dirt covered his new blue fur.
    C．Because he thought blue fur was much more beautiful.
    D．Because he hit into Bluebird’s tree and hurt himself.
    【小题5】What words does the writer use to help you imagine the colour blue?
    A．sky, lake, mountains
    B．bird, coyote, storm
    C．flapped, climbed, bathed

    Farmer John and Farmer Bob were neighbours. For more than 30 years, they had been getting along very well.
    Then their good relationship broke. It began with a small thing, then bitter words, and then weeks of silence. One morning Farmer John woke up to find a stream between the two farms. “It must be Bob,” John thought.
    Then one day there was a knock on John’s door. He opened it to find a carpenter(木匠) standing at the doorway.
    “I’m looking for a few days’ work,” the carpenter said.
    “I do have a job for you,” John said. “Look across the stream at that farm. That’s my neighbour Bob. He dug a stream between the two farms. I want you to build a fence—an 8-foot fence. I don’t want to see his place or his face any more. I don’t have such a neighbour!”The carpenter said, “I think I know what to do, sir, and I’ll be able to do a job that pleases you.” Farmer John helped the carpenter get the materials ready and then he was off for the day. About sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. The farmer’s eyes opened wide. There was no fence there at all!
    It was a bridge! And the neighbour, Bob, was coming across, with his hand outstretched(伸出). “Hi, John! You’re quite a fellow to build this bridge!”
    Then they met in the middle, taking each other’s hands. “I’m terribly sorry for what I have said and done. We should be good to each other.” said Farmer Bob. Then they turned to see the carpenter, who was ready to go. “No, wait! Stay a few days. I have a lot of other jobs for you,” said Farmer John. “I’d love to stay,” the carpenter said, “but I have more bridges to build.”
    【小题1】What does the sentence “You’re quite a fellow to build this bridge!” mean?

    A．John was great to build this bridge.
    B．John was not good at building bridges.
    C．John was foolish to build such a bridge.
    D．John should build the bridge earlier.
    【小题2】What do you think of the carpenter?
    A．Shy.B．Wise.C．Proud.D．Careless.
    【小题3】What is the best title for the passage?
    A．What a Big Fence!B．A Strong Bridge.
    C．Three Kind MenD．A Fence or a Bridge ?
