阅读理解

    Four beggars (乞丐) usually met at an old shack (小窝棚) at the end of the day. One day, they were very upset because none of them had got much in their begging bowls.

    "I only got this piece of meat today," the first said. "I hardly got anything," the second said. "I just picked up these few vegetables outside the fruit and vegetable store." The third complained that all he was given was a handful of herbs(香草) that he couldn't eat on his own. The fourth beggar didn't do much better. "I only got the handful of old, dried beans, but they aren't very nice!"

    As they sat around the fire, one of them had a great idea. "Let's put all our bits together and boil them. In this way, we can make a tasty dish and share it." They all agreed.

    However, the first beggar thought, "I don't want to share. I'll just pretend (假装) to throw my meat into the pot. They'll never know and I'll eat my meat later." So he pretended to put the meat into the pot. Now the same idea had also hit the other beggars and the shack was so dark that no one could see what the others were doing.

    Finally, one of them suggested that the dish should now be ready and, in turn, each of them helped himself to a bowl. They drank the hot water in absolute(绝对) silence, learning that selfishness doesn't taste all that good.

(1)、When did the four beggars usually meet?

(2)、What did the third beggar do?
A、He dropped his herbs in the soup. B、He kept the herbs for himself. C、He cooked the soup. D、He shared his herbs with his friends.
(3)、Why was the fourth beggar sad?
A、Because he got nothing from people. B、Because many people laughed at him. C、Because the beans were old and dried. D、Because the other beggars didn't agree with him.
(4)、Which of the following is TRUE according to the story?
A、They liked what was in the pot in the end. B、What they made in the pot was tasty. C、They didn't know what others put in the pot. D、They didn't eat anything but the hot water.

    Once, I overheard (无意中听到)a father and daughter in their goodbye moment. The father said, “I love you, Iwish you enough.” The daughter answered, “Daddy, our life together has beenmore than enough. Your lover is all that I need. I wish you enough, too, Daddy.”

    They kissed and she left …

“When youwere saying goodbye I heard you say, ‘I wish you enough.' May I ask whatthat means?”

    He began tosmile, “It's a wish that has come down from my great-great-grandparents.And my parents used to say it to me.”

    He stoppedfor a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it. He smiled evenmore.

“When wesaid ‘I wish you enough,' we were wanting the other person to have alife full of enough good things.”

    Then, turningtowards me, he shared (分享)the following “wish” from his heart.
