Hi！亲爱的朋友们，你们好！我是定冠词the，用在名词前，我的意思是“这(些)、那(些)”。我们冠词家族人丁稀少，但是作用可不小。我只有两个姐妹a和an。她们通常表示“一个(位、件……)”，用于单数可数名词前。我的性情有些古怪，你想了解我吗？

　　1　我喜欢演奏乐器，所以我常常出现在乐器前。如：play the piano/guitar(弹钢琴/吉他)等。

　　2　我经常和世界上独一无二的事物在一起，为此我非常自豪。如：the sun/moon(太阳/月亮)等。

　　3　我还喜欢帮助一些形容词、分词，与它们一起来表示一类人或事物。如：the old(老人)、the rich(富人) 等。

　　4　我没事时就喜欢和姓氏的复数形式闲聊人家一家子的情况。如：the Greens(格林一家)等。

　　5　我还喜欢和序数词一起强调数字的顺序，但当序数词前有形容词性物主代词等修饰限定时，我就会赶快逃走，销声匿迹。如：This is my eleventh birthday．(这是我的第十一个生日。)等。

　　注意：当我和序数词一起表示日期时，我经常躲起来，但如果在of短语中，我就一定会露面。如：May(the)first＝May 1st＝the first of May(五月一日)。

　　1　我不喜欢和科学名词在一起。如：math(数学)、English(英语)等。

　　2　我对球类运动不感兴趣，你在球类运动前根本找不到我。如：play basketball/soccer(打篮球/踢足球)等。

　　3　我还有个坏毛病——挑食，三餐饭前从来找不到我的影子。如：eat breakfast/lunch(吃早餐/中餐)等。

　　你了解定冠词the的生活习性了吗？赶快来找我吧！

请根据定冠词的“生活习性”填空，不需要填的地方打“×”。

1．He usually eats ________ dinner at 6:00 p. m..

2．Let's go and play ________ volleyball now.

3．She can play ________ violin very well.

4．We can speak ________ English and Chinese.

5．We should help ________ poor in the world.

阅读下文，完成小题。（共16分）
年轻的爸爸和他的儿子一起在后花园放风筝。小小的园地，小小的风筝。 小小的风筝飞呀飞的，就飞到了墙头上。墙头上的野花，把风筝紧紧地缠住。于是爸爸说，必须去拿一架梯子来，然后爬上梯子，取下墙头上的风筝。
爸爸要爬上梯子，但是儿子说：“爸爸，让我来吧！”
爸爸看了看他九岁的儿子，想了又想，终于说：“也好，让你来就让你来。”
猴子一般地，儿子爬到梯子的最高一级了。儿子转过头来，嘻嘻地笑。他的笑声，像用早晨的牵牛花吹出来的。
解开了风筝绕在野花上的线，正要下来，爸爸却用一只大手和一个声音制止了他，爸爸说：“慢着！”
儿子停住了，望着爸爸，用眼睛问爸爸：“怎么啦？”
爸爸说：“我先讲个故事给你听了，你再下来。”
于是儿子笑得更开心，他一手抓住梯子，一手拿着风筝，等爸爸讲故事，爸爸讲的故事，没有一次不好听的。
爸爸说：“从前有个爸爸，告诉他那个站在一架很高很高的梯子上的儿子说：你跳下来！你一跳下来，爸爸一定会在下面把你抱住。听见爸爸这么说，儿子很放心，就像游泳时跳进水里去一样，纵身一跳。哪里知道当儿子就要投进爸爸的怀抱里的前一秒钟，爸爸的身体一闪，站在一边。儿子扑了个空，掉在地上，屁股差一点就开花。哭哭啼啼地站起身来，儿子问爸爸：为什么要骗他。爸爸说：我要给你一个教训，连你爸爸的话都靠不住，别人说的话，更不必说了。”停了一停，爸爸继续说：“我们也来照着做一次好不好？”
儿子一听，脸都变白了。
爸爸说：“不要怕，勇敢一点，你只要跳那么一次就行了。我要你留下深刻的印象，免得你以后长大了，容易上人家的当。”
但是儿子显然并没有被爸爸的话所说服。他脸上惊愕的表情，丝毫没有消退。然而他还是不敢违抗命令。他站在那儿，动也不敢动。
爸爸开始发号施令了：“听着啊，我喊一二三，喊到三的时候，你就跳下来，然后我就把伸出去假装要接住你的手缩回来，让你跌一个屁滚尿流！”
站在梯子上，儿子的脸像一个还没熟透的橘子。
爸爸喊了：“一……二……三！”
咬紧牙根，忍着泪，儿子从梯子上跳下来了。他等待着自己的身体像一个南瓜，扑的一声，摔得支离破碎……
然而，好奇怪，爸爸的手竟然没缩回去，他的身体也没移开。他还是定定地站在原来的地方。他把掉到他两手中的儿子，牢牢固固、结结实实地接住了，抱住了。
儿子虽然不曾受伤，但是他的神情，比刚才还要疑惑。张大了眼睛，他问：“爸爸，你为什么骗我？”
爸爸笑出声来，爸爸说：“爸爸要让你知道，即使是别人的话，有时也是可以信任的，何况是爸爸的话呢！”
所有的玫瑰花，都回到儿子脸上。他笑着搂住爸爸，不住地吻爸爸的双颊。爸爸和儿子拉着风筝，向后园的一角跑去。
