阅读理解

    There was once a man called Mr. Flowers, and flowers were his only joy in life. He spent all his free time in one of his four glass-houses and grew flowers of every color, with long and difficult names, for competitions(比赛). He tried to grow a rose of a new color to win the silver cup(银杯)for the Rose of the Year.

    Mr. Flowers' glass-houses were very near to a middle school. Boys of around thirteen of age were often tempted(引诱)to throw a stone or two at one of Mr. Flowers' glass-houses. So Mr. Flowers did his best to be in or near his glass-houses at the beginning and end of the school day.

    But it was not always possible to be on watch at those times. Mr. Flowers had tried in many ways to protect his glass, but nothing that he had done had been useful. He had been to school to report to the headmaster; but this had not done any good. He had tried to drive away the boys that threw stones into his garden; but the boys could run faster than he could, and they laughed at him from far away. He had even picked up all the stones that he could find around his garden, so that the boys would have nothing to throw; but they soon found others.

    At last Mr. Flowers had a good idea. He put up a large notice(布告)made of good, strong wood, some meters away from the glass-houses. On it he had written the words: DO NOT THROW STONES AT THIS NOTICE. After this, Mr. Flowers had no further trouble; the boys were much more tempted to throw stones at the notice than at the glass-houses.

(1)、It was Mr. Flowers' hope to ________.
A、build glass-houses in his free time    B、grow the Rose of the Year in a silver cup C、win a silver cup for growing a rose of a new color D、grow a rose with the longest name
(2)、Boys were often tempted to ________.
A、throw stones at Mr. Flowers' glass-house  B、throw stones at Mr. Flowers from their school C、be in or near by Mr. Flowers' glass-houses D、play with Mr. Flowers near his glass-houses
(3)、Mr. Flowers stayed in or near by his glass-houses _______.
A、at times when school-boys were walking near them B、all the school day when there were no boys about C、where he could not be seen by the boys passing D、in his free time at the beginning and end of the school day
(4)、Mr. Flowers had tried to ______ to protect his glass.
A、be on watch in his free time B、ask the headmaster for help C、pick up all the stones around his garden D、do all the above
(5)、Mr. Flowers' good idea was to ______.
A、write some words on the glass B、put up a large notice to cover his glass-houses C、give the boys something else to throw stones at  D、send for policemen
举一反三
阅读下列材料,从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。

D

    As the saying goes, “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.” This is the way the charity organization Heifer International (国际小母牛慈善组织) wants to end world hunger.

    It began in the 1930s when an American farmer, Dan West, went to Spain to help people in need. He tried to feed the people with milk. But it seemed that there would never be enough milk. It made him think that what they needed was “not a cup, but a cow”.

    Dan West returned to America. He worked together with some friends to find ways to end hunger. He believed giving animals and providing training would stop world hunger. With his help, Heifer International was set up.

    On Heifer International's website, you will see a list of animals like cows, chickens, pigs and even fish and bees. You can offer help by buying some animals for one certain family. Those animals will have babies get better lives, they will pass on the act of kindness to others. More importantly, you are buying the resources (资源) for programs run by Heifer International to help more families.

    The programs also help small-sized farms. As a rule, each farmer must give his animal's first female (雌性) baby to another in need. Heifer International also provides training on animals' health and feeding. And these farmers all agree to teach others what they have learned as another rule.

    However, there is still a long way to go. The milk may run out. But if families have their own cows, they can get plenty of milk to feed themselves. The organization wants the farmers to go on working together, helping each other and learning from each other. Maybe hunger can really be stopped.
