    Daniel Boone was born in the United States in 1734. He came from a poor family that lived in a small village near a forest. His father didn't have enough money to send Daniel to school so he never learned to read. However, Daniel learned a lot of things from the stories he heard about the forest and the things around him. He was attracted to the simple and quiet life of the forest and preferred to live there instead of living on his father's farm.

    　　When Daniel grew up he tried to live on the farm but he wasn't happy there. After a year or so he decided to travel to the unexplored lands to the west. He learned and experienced many things during his travels. After two years he returned to his home and shared his knowledge and stories with the people, which made him famous for his travels.

    　　Once while traveling Daniel was captured (taken away) by the Native Americans (Indians). They liked him very much and soon became his friends. Daniel Boone continued to travel throughout his life. He died at the age of 86.

    This happened in London It was November and the weather was very wet and cold. A Frenchman had caught a very bad cold. He coughed day and night, so he decided to go and get some medicine for his cough. As he did not know much English, he took out his dictionary and looked up the word "cough". But the dictionary did not tell him how to pronounce(发音) the word. He thought it over and remembered that he had learned the word "plough". He remembered that it was pronounced[plav].

    "But where is your cow?"
    "It's here!" answered the Frenchman. He put his hand on his chest(胸口) and began to cough. "Here it is, " he said, "I've a very bad 'cow' here."

    Two men were sitting together in a plane. They were on a long journey. One of the men was a businessman. The other was a farmer. They sat without talking for a while, then the farmer said, “Let’s do something to pass the time.”

    “What do you want to do?” the businessman asked.

    “We can ask each other riddles.” The farmer said.

    阅读理解。    
         Last month I went to stay with my cousin Ken, who is a vet. I've always been interested in animals.
    I wanted to have a week's work experience with a vet, so it seemed a good idea.  My cousin Ken is
    friendly and easygoing, so I stayed with him, too. We had a lot of laughs.
         In their practice, they do a lot of "small-animal" work. In other words, they look after people's pets,
    and don't work much with farm animals. Even so, it was very interesting. During the week I helped as
    much as I could.  I cleaned out the animals' cages and boxes, as some of them are kept in the building
    for a night or a couple of days.  I also fed them.  I looked after the owners when they arrived with their
    pets, and made cups of tea and coffee for the two vets and the assistant. I watched all the operations
    that were done and asked lots of questions.
         On my last day, I helped in an operation on a cat, which had a bad leg.  Sometimes a vet needs
    another pair of hands. The cat lived, by the way!
         I wasn't sure what a vet's job would be like, and I found it was very interesting.  I learnt that a vet
    needs a lot of scientific knowledge. Science isn't my best subject, therefore I feel that it is not a job for
    me    . Even so, I'm still pleased with the work experience that I had.  It's a great help while you're trying
    to make up your mind.
    1. Which of the following is TRUE?
    A. There were good reasons for the writer to stay with Ken for a week.
    B. The writer had expected to stay with Ken before.
    C. The writer didn't feel happy until he stayed with Ken.
    D. Ken wasn't friendly until the writer stayed with him.
    2. From the second paragraph, we know _________.
    A. vets like Ken don't do a lot of work with farm animals
    B. the writer helped them less and asked more
    C. there were more farm animals than small animals there
    D. the writer could do the operations on the animals
    3. Sometimes the vets were _________.
    A. very worried about the cat        
    B. very busy
    C. sorry for the animal's death        
    D. sure what they did
    4.The underlined sentence "it is not a job for me" means _________.
    A. the writer knew a vet's job well
    B. the writer didn't want to do that kind of job
    C. the job didn't interest the writer
    D. he didn't like science at all
