阅读Fishing Can Be Dangerous

  Old Peter liked fishing.Whenever he had any free time he drove into the countryside, found a good place to fish, and spent a few hours fishing.The problem was that most of the best places to fish were on private land, and Peter often had to pull his rod out of the water quickly and run off with it when the owner of the land came along.

  One day he was sitting by a river that ran through a rich man's property when he fell asleep.

  He was awakened by a voice saying, “You'll never catch anything using that bait.”

  Peter looked up and saw a man standing behind him.

  “What do you mean?”Peter said.“There's nothing wrong with this bait.I always use it.I've caught thirty fish with it today already.”

  “How interesting!” the man said.“Do you know who I am?”

  Peter shook his head.

  “I'm the owner of this land.”

  Peter thought very quickly.

  “Do you know who I am?” he asked.

  The man shook his head.

  “I'm the biggest liar in the country,” Peter told him.

  And with these words he pulled his line out of the water and ran off as fast as he could.

阅读理解(二)(每小题2分,共10分)阅读下面短文,根据短文内容回答问题。

If you like unusual places, you should visit the Hebrides Islands. Not many people live on these islands in the northwest of Scotland. The land is not good for farming. It’s only good for keeping sheep (绵羊). The winters are long, cold, and wet. It’s hard to make a living on the Hebrides, but for a visitor, these islands can be very special.

They’re not for everyone. Even summer days are cool and often windy. The water is too cold for swimming. There are only a few trees and green fields. Instead of fields, there are just rocks and small plants. The hills, too, are just piles of rocks. Sometimes the view (风景) looks like pictures of the moon.

But there is beauty in this place. From the beach you can often see all the ways to the rocky hills. From the hills you can see far out to other islands and the open ocean. The colors, too, are special. Blue is everywhere. It’s in the sky and in the ocean. In the spring there is also green in the hills. In the summer and winter the hills are more purple.

On these islands you can forget about the rest of the world. The evenings are quiet. The restaurants close early, and there isn’t any nightlife. Visitors stay at a guest house or a Bed. This is the best way to learn about life on the islands. The islanders are often friendly, and they like to talk.

If you want to meet islanders, you can also try the pubs (酒吧) or even the shops. People are in no hurry here. They like to chat about the weather or the fishing.

Do not come to the Hebrides for shopping. Come to walk in the clean, cool air. Come for the quiet beauty and for the views.

1.Are there many people living on the Hebrides islands?

                                                                              

2.How is the weather on the Hebrides in the summer?

                                                                              

3.What can you see from the hills when you are on the Hebrides?

                                                                              

4.Where do visitor stay for the night on the Hebrides?

                                                                              

5.According to the passage, what can we do on the Hebrides?
