题目列表(包括答案和解析)

  A certain poet(诗人) had written a play, and arrangements(安排) were being made to perform it. Of course, the poet was asked to give his advice on the scenery(布景), the lighting, and all the other things that help to make a play successful, and he proved to be a very difficult man to please, as he had his own very definite(固定的) ideas of how each scene should look.

  In one of the scenes in the play, it was necessary to produce the effect of a wonderful sunset, which the young lovers watched together before singing one of their great love songs.

  The theatre electricians (电工) worked very hard to produce this sunset effect. They tried out all kinds of arrangements and combinations(组合) of lights-red lights, orange lights, yellow lights,blue lights, lights from above, lights from behind, lights from the front, lights from the sides-but nothing satisfied the poet, until suddenly he saw exactly the effect that he had been dreaming of producing ever since he had written his play.

  “That's it!” he shouted excitedly to the electricians behind the stage. “That's just right! Keep it exactly like that!”

  “I'm sorry, sir,” answered the chief electrician, “but we can't keep it like this.”

  “Why ever not?” asked the poet angrily.

  “Because the theatre is on fire, sir,” answered the chief electrician. “That's what's producing the effect you can see now!”

1.Who had written a play?

2.What was he asked to give?

3.Why did he prove to be a very difficult man to please?

4.What was it necessary to produce in one scene?

5.When did the young lovers watch this wonderful sunset?

6.Who worked hard to produce this sunset effect?

7.What did they try out?

8.What kind of effect did the poet see suddenly?

9.What did he say to the electricians?

10.Why did they say they could not keep that effect?

  One day, when I arrived at school, an ice cream truck was parked in the schoolyard.Ice cream men usually drove their trucks to primary schools.I had never thought one ice cream truck would come to bring ice cream to us older kids.When I went up to the truck, I was quite surprised to hear the man call out, “Free ice cream!” To make sure of his words, I asked, “I'm sorry, what did you say?” “Free ice cream.Choose whichever you like.” he said smiling.

  After I was certain that the man was just giving away the ice cream, I talked with him for a long time.He told me that his dream had always been to travel around giving away ice cream, and that's what he was now doing.With his mother's support, he kept doing what he loved even during hard times.Now, however, some large companies are helping him his plan.

  The man said he wanted to encourage people to do exactly what their heart told them to do with their lives.I kept asking him, “So your dream was just to drive around and give away ice cream? It seems like a very unusual goal.” “Yes, just meeting people and making them smile,” he replied.At that point he handed me my ice cream.I thanked him, but what I got from him was much more than just an ice cream.It can't easily be expressed in words.I believe what he was doing is exactly what great people do all the time:small acts of big love.
