阅读理解

    There was once a man who couldn't sleep well because he was afraid that there was a stranger under his bed. He thought that as soon as he went to sleep, the stranger would come out from the bed and rob(抢劫)him. He was worried that the stranger might even kill him!

    Every night, after he got into bed, the man had to get up again and looked under the bed. There was never anyone there, but as soon as he got back into bed, he had to get up and looked under the bed again. This went on for hours until at last he fell asleep from exhaustion(筋疲力尽).

    The time came for the man to get married. He didn't tell his wife about his fear but she soon found out because he kept her awake all night.

     “You must go to see a doctor,” she told him. “He will make you become well. You won't have such silly fear again.”

    The man did as his wife told him. He told the doctor his problem, and the doctor said, “You can be well again, but it will take about two years. You must come and see me three times a week. The cost for each visit will be $75.”

    The next day the man called the doctor and said, “ I won't need to visit you again. I'm well.”

    The doctor was amazed.(惊奇地) “How?” he asked. “Who made you get well?”

     “My wife did,”the man said. “When I told her how much I would have to pay you, she cut the legs off the bed.”

   Ellen Parker was worried about her health. She could not walk very quickly and it was difficult for her to climb stars. She was soon out of breath (气喘吁吁).
   “I suppose I had better go to the doctor,” she thought.
   She went to the doctor and told him her problem.
   “I'm not surprised at all,” he said. “It's obvious what your problem is.”He looked her over then gave her some advice.“If you don't do what I say, Mrs. Parker," he said, "you will have a heart attack. It could kill you.”
   Ellen Parker was very worried as she left the doctor's. She knew that she had to take his advice but it would not be easy and it would take time.
   The next day she went shopping. The first shop she went into was a butcher's shop (肉铺).“I'd like ten pounds of steak (牛排), please,” she said.“Certainly, madam,” the butcher replied and went into the cold room and found a large piece of steak. He brought the huge piece of meat back into the shop and put it on the scale (天平).
   “That's just under ten pounds,"he said.
   “That big enough," Mrs. Parker said.
   The butcher worked out the price.
   “At $4.99 a pound that will be $49.50, please. Would you like me to cut it up into smaller pieces for you?”
   “Oh, I don't want to buy the meat,"Mrs. Parker said.
   “If you don't want to buy it," the butcher replied angrily, "why did you ask me to get it for you?”
   “My doctor told me that I am over-weight and I have to lose ten pounds. I wanted to see what ten pounds of meat looked like.”

    "You have saved my horse." Queen Olivia told the young boy standing before her. "Now you shall get a gift for what you did." Peter nervously ran his fingers through his brown hair. That day when he was working in the field,the shocked horse ran past him. Without thinking,he rushed out and controlled it. He didn't know it was the Queen's horse and never expected to get a gift. But he still felt happy for getting one.

    Two of the queen's men appeared. One carried a mirror. Red jewels(珠宝)shone on top of the mirror's silver frame(框架). The other carried a wooden cage with a chicken inside it.

    "Only one gift call be yours," the queen said. "Choose wisely." "That's easy," Peter said. "I'll take the chicken." Some of the queen's men laughed. It was clear that they thought he had made a foolish choice.

    "And why did you choose the chicken?" the queen asked. "Well, I don't know much about jewels," Peter answered. "But I do know about chickens. The chicken will provide eggs for my family for a long while."

    Queen Olivia smiled. "Then you did make a wise choice," she said. "That minor may look beautiful. But the jewels you see are only colored glass, and the frame is painted silver. The chicken is much more valuable." Peter took the chicken and bowed. "Thank you, your majesty."

    "You are a smart child." the queen added. "I could use a smart boy to help take care of my horses. Would you like to take the job?" Peter smiled. "Thank you very much!" he said excitedly. A job at the castle paid well. Now his family wouldn't worry about their food any more--all because he was kind to help others and smart enough to make the right choice!
