storekeeper was going to close up his shop.Suddenly he saw Seth,a lazy,good-for-nothing fellow grab a pound of fresh butter and hide it in his hat.No sooner had the storekeeper seen the act than he hit upon exactly the right revenge(报复).He would punish the thief,and satisfy his own appetite for fun.Seth had his hat on his head,and the butter in his hat.He was anxious to leave.However,the rightful owner of the butter offered him a cup of hot drink,took him by the shoulders and planted him in a seat close to the stove.The grocer stuffed in the stove as many sticks of wood as he could possibly fit inside.Seth already could feel the butter settling down closer to his hair,so he jumped up,declaring that he must go.“Sit down;dont be in such a hurry,replied the grocer,pushing him back into the chair again.Streak after streak of the butter came pouring from under the poor mans hat.The fun-loving grocer kept on stuffing wood into the stove.Then,as if surprised,he remarked,“You seem to be sweating as if you were warm!Let me put your hat away for you.“No!exclaimed poor Seth at last,unable to stand it a moment longer.“No,I must go;let me out.A greasy油腻的waterfall of butter was now pouring down the poor mans face and neck,soaking浸泡into his clothes,and trickling down his body into his boots.He was bathed in oil from head to toe.Just as his victim rushed out the door,the grocer said,“I think the fun Ive had out of you is worth the money,so I shant charge you for that pound of butter in your hat.1.Why did Seth put the butter in his hat?A.Because he just wanted to play a trick on the grocer.B.Because he had nowhere to put the butter but in the hat.本卷贰 O 贰贰年贰月捌日编写；出题人：令狐学复；欧阳化语；令狐理总。本卷贰 O 贰贰年贰月捌日编写；出题人：令狐学复；欧阳化语；令狐理总。C.Because he wanted to revenge himself on the

continent.We are traveling by train.Out the windows,we think in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways,of children waving at a crossing,of cattle feeding on a distant hillside,of smoke pouring from a power plant,or row upon row of corn and wheat,of flat lands and valleys,of mountains and rolling hills,of city skylines and village halls.But uppermost in our minds is the final destination.On a certain day at a certain hour,we will pull into the station.Bands will be playing and flags waving.Once we get there,so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw拼图玩具puzzle.How restlessly we pace the aisles(通道),regretting the minutes for loitering waiting,waiting,waiting for the station.“When we reach the station,that will be it!we cry.“When Im 38.“When I buy a new 450SL Mercdes Benz!“When I put the last kid through college.“When I have paid off the debts!“When I get a promotion.“When I reach the age of retirement,I shall live happily ever after!Sooner or later,we must realize there is no station,no one place to arrive at once and for all.The true joy of life is the trip.The station is only a dream.It constantly outdistances us.“Relish(appreciate)the moment is a good motto,actually it isnt the burdens of today 本卷贰 O 贰贰年贰月捌日编写；出题人：令狐学复；欧阳化语；令狐理总。本卷贰 O 贰贰年贰月捌日编写；出题人：令狐学复；欧阳化语；令狐理总。that drive man mad.It is the

of many with limited instant recall.And the number one source of that vitamin is sunflower seeds.Even when youre sleeping or relaxing,your brain is still at work.Although it makes up just two percent of your total body weight,it uses up to 30%of the calories you take in each day.For it to work properly,it must be fed.Even if youre not a breakfast eater,that meal is the best way to prepare your brain for the day.A quick and easy English muffin with peanut and butter in it,a glass of milk,and an orange,might be what your brain may be asking you the first thing in the morning when you feel your head is in a fog.Having sunflower seeds and fruit between meals adds more muscle to that hungry,demanding organ.Vitamin B-1 also helps the memory,and that is found in eggs,meats and nuts.In Chinese culture,walnuts(核桃)are known as the fruit for a long life because it is believed that they feed both the kidneys and the brain.And according to Chinese culture,if you keep those two important organs in good working order,youll live longer.However forgetful you are,just keep in mind the letter“B,which will help you to“bear in mind almost everything even on those days when lifes challenges are sending you in a billion directions.17.The underlined word“muffin in the third paragraph probably means _.A.menu B.dinner C.calorie D.cookie 18.In the passage,Chinese culture is mentioned to_.A.support the idea of long life B.show the importance of vitamin B-1 C.warn the readers of two organs D.remind us of walnuts and sunflower seeds 19.What can we conclude from the passage?A.What we eat seems more important than what we learn in terms of memory.B.Two percent of our brain is still active when we are sleeping or relaxing.C.It doesnt make much difference to our brain whether we have breakfast or not.D.Lifes challenges have no effect on our memory,if dealt with in a proper way.本卷贰 O 贰贰年贰月捌日编写；出题人：令狐学复；欧阳化语；令狐理总。本卷贰 O 贰贰年贰月捌日编写；出题人：令狐学复；欧阳化语；令狐理总。20.The best title for the passage
