A
The King received news one day that a group outlaws were committing some wrong and cruel acts on a distant border of the kingdom.
The news angered the King. He quickly gathered his army and started off for the distant border, leaving his kingdom unguarded and without a ruler.
On their long march, the King and his army made camp for the night wherever they could. One rainy day they stopped in a forest, seeking shelter under the trees. They unsaddled（卸鞍） their horses and steamed some peas, which they fed to their steeds(战马) in long narrow containers.
A monkey in a tree nearby saw the horses being fed, and he came racing down, fille9d both paws with peas, then climbed quickly up to a branch and settled down to eat. But as he opened one paw, a single pea fell to the ground. Without hesitation, my monkey jumped from his branch to hunt for the lost pea, and in doing so，he dropped all the other peas in his paws.
The King observed this foolish monkey and was greatly amused. He turned to his minister and asked: "Friend, what do you think of this monkey who would give up so much to retrieve so little?" "That is the way of the foolish," replied the minister, "they will give up much that is certain for a little that is uncertain." Then he added, "And we, Great King, are we not like the monkey in the trees. To gain so little we neglect (忽略 ) so much exactly like the monkey with its pea.
The King understood the blame and realized how very foolish he had been himself to leave his kingdom unguarded. He gave out orders to his men, and he and his army returned at once to their country.
1、What did the King do after he knew a group of bad guys were doing something illegal?
A．He asked the minister for advice. B．He led his army to defeat them.
C．He found some monkeys to feed D．He looked for shelters in the forest.
2、The minister persuaded the King to give up his original plan by ________.
A．steaming some peas to feed the horses
B．amusing the King with the monkey’s trick
C．blaming the king gently using the monkey’s example.
D．going back and guarding the country.
3、What does the underlined word “retrieve”in the fifth paragraph mean?
A．bring up B．get back
C．give away D．come up
4、Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．An Angry King B．A Battle against the Outlaws
C．A Simple-minded Monkey D．An Unguarded Kingdom

B
Some families choose to take expensive vacations, such as to the Grand Canyon. However, my favorite family vacation was different. Nine years ago, my parents created a grand plan to build the home of their dreams in a neighborhood Honeymoon Hill. As the dream was launched smoothly, our family of five squeezed tightly into the vehicle to go there.
The old home was gradually turned into the construction management office for the new one. As the new home began to take shape, it siphoned our attention and our primary home became the place where we merely slept. The three of us children worked and became soon-to-be-skilled laborers. I quickly learned that personalities were readily displayed when we painted a wall. Some stuck to their claims, stopping others entering their area. Others systematically painted their wall, working from top to bottom in an organized fashion. And one drew smiley faces and signed his name there.
Of course, the journey didn’t come without a few lessons learned. I came to understand that paint would never be removed from a rag, however many times I washed it. We learned other important lessons when my dad attempted to shingle(盖) a roof in the air: safety is indeed important, and sometimes money is well spent in the hiring of a professional.
A Mother’s Day dinner served on a temporary table could actually taste far better at the end of a long day’s work than the everyday meals we remembered back at the old home. Most importantly, I learned my family can forgive each other’s barks in close quarters. This project began to matter much to each of us in our own way.
When we finally completed the construction after 28 months, the resort we now call home went beyond all the other tours, and our family grew closer because of it.
1、What made the author’s family vacation different from others’?
A．His feeling of it.
B．The length of it.
C．The way of spending it.
D．The money spent on it.
2、What does the underlined word “siphoned” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Ignored. B．Changed.
C．Distracted. D．Attracted.
3、What impressed the author most during the vacation?
A．The understanding of each family.
B．The dinner his mother cooked.
C．The work done by all the children.
D．The process of building the houses.
4、What may be the best title for the text?
A．A Perfect New House
B．A Special Family Vacation
C．The New House Untied Us Again
D．Families Worked Hard to Build a House

Having an image of your most recent past limits is the perfect thing to 16 you to the next level. If you ran 7 flights of stairs yesterday, then do 8 today. Who 17 if the guy next to you did 15? It doesn't make a bit of 18 . You are a more fit person today than you were yesterday. Your own 19 is all you need.
If you 20 to a slightly higher standard of yourself every day, you will always be at the top of your game.
