  Read the passages and do the following exercises(阅读并做题)

  Mr White was a chicken farmer. He had hundreds of chickens and sold eggs and the meat and got quite a lot of money, but he lived in a very hot part of the country, and he found that his hens could hardly lay any eggs(下蛋) in the summer. So he decided to put air-conditioning(空调机) into his chicken house so that the hens would lay well all through the year and he could get more eggs and in that way get more money.

  The owner of the air-conditioning company(公司) came to see him, and when he saw Mr White's house, he thought that he might be able to persuade (劝说) him to buy some air-conditioning for that, too.

  “Your wife would be much happier and have a nicer house to live in then,”he said to Mr White. But Mr White was not interested.

  “My wife doesn't lay eggs,”he said.

  True or False

1.Mr White's hens could lay few eggs when the weather was too hot.

2.Mr White decided to buy air-conditioning for his house because he wanted to make his wife much happier.

3.The owner of the air-conditioning company hoped to put air-conditioning into both Mr White's house and his chicken house.

4.Neither Mr White nor the owner of the company wanted to get more money.

5.Mr White was too poor to buy air-conditioning for his wife.
