     Aunt Polly told Tom to paint the whole fence (栅栏) in front of the house. He thought of the other boys out for the day enjoying themselves and he felt very unhappy. Then he had an idea!He picked up the brush and started painting slowly and carefully. Soon,his friend Ben Rogers appeared,eating an apple. Tom pretended (假装) not to see him.

    “Tom!” Ben said. “Why are you working?”

    “Oh,it's you,Ben ,” Tom said ,“I didn't notice you."

    “I'm going for a swim”’ Ben said ,“but you don't want to come. You want to work,don't you? It's much nicer!” Ben laughed loudly. Tom looked seriously at Ben and said ,“What is work? What do you call work?”

    “Isn’t that work?” Ben asked.

    “Well,no. Does a boy get the opportunity to paint a fence every day? You’Ve never painted a fence,have you? Auntie says I have to do it with great care! ”

    “Please,Tom. Let me do a little”’ said Ben.

    “No,Ben. If you do,you’ll do it wrong. You can't paint very well. If it was the back fence,it wouldn’t mind,but it isn’t. ”

    “I won’t do it wrong. I'll be really careful. I'll give you my apple. ” Tom gave him the brush and paint with a sad face,but in his heart he was glad. His trick had worked.

     After Ben got tired and left,other boys came along and Tom said the same things to them. Soon,the whole fence was painted white,but not by Tom. He felt very clever because he had discovered something important about the way people are. People only want what they can't have or want to do what they shouldn’t do.

     Maybe you are a usual student. You probably think you will never be a top student. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here's how.

     Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week,you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list,you should make a plan of your time. Don’t forget to set aside enough time for hobbies. A weekly plan may not solve all your problems,but it will force you to know what is happening to your time.

      Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space,which may be a desk or a corner of your room,free of everything but books. No games,radios,or television!When you sit down to study,put your heart on the subject.

Make good use of your time in class. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teachers say. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.

      Study regularly. When you get home from school,go over your notes and the important points that you had in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day,read that material. This will help you understand the next class. If you do these things regularly,the material will become more meaningful,and you will remember it longer.

     Develop a good attitude (态度) about tests. The aim of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don't pass a test,so don't be too worried.

    There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.

C

      Long long ago a man went to India and he had never been there before. When he got there,he saw a lot of fruit,but much of it was expensive because they couldn’t grow much because there was little water. Finally he saw a big basket of some very red and long fruit. And it was the cheapest in the shop. So he went up and asked ,“How much each kilo?” and the shopkeeper said ,“Two rupees (卢比) .” Two rupees in India was nothing. So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and started eating it. But after he ate some of it: Oh,my god!His eyes watered,his mouth watered and burnt,and his face became red. He jumped up and down,saying ,“Ah!Ah! Ah!”

      But he still continued to eat the fruit!Some people who were looking at him shook their heads and said, “You’re crazy,man. Those are chilies (辣椒) !You can't eat so many!People use them as a condiment,but only a little bit to put into food for taste. You can't just eat them like that ” But the silly man said ,“No,I can't stop!I paid money for them,and now I'll eat them up. It's my money!”

      And you think that man was silly,right? We sometimes do a lot of things like that. We spend money,time or effort doing something. And even though it's a long time,hard experience tells us it won’t work,and we know there's no more hope,we still continue just because we’ve put money,time,effort and love into it. Just like the man who ate the chilies and felt so bad but couldn’t stop because he didn't want to waste the money he’d paid. So even if you’ve lost something,let it go and move on. That's better than continuing to lose.


() 1. The man chose to buy the red and long fruit only because .

   A. he hadn’t eaten it before   B. he was hungry

   C. it was cheap   D. he hadn’t seen it before


() 2. The underlined word “condiment” in Paragraph 2 probably means .

   A. 零食   B. 水果   C. 调料   D. 蔬菜


() 3. Which of the following sentence is TRUE?

   A. The man went to India to buy fruit.

   B. The man didn't want to waste money.

   C. The man bought the fruit because it was expensive.

   D. India can grow a lot of fruit.


() 4. From the passage,we can learn that .

   A. we shouldn’t waste money

   B. we shouldn’t eat chilies

   C. we shouldn’t buy something cheap

   D. letting something go is better than keeping on losing
