"Out to the hoghouse(猪圈)，" replied Mrs Arable. "Some pigs were born last night." "I don't see why he needs an ax," continued Fern, who was only eight. "Well," said her mother, "one of the pigs is very small and weak, and it will never grow up to anything. So your father has decided to do away with it." "Do away with it?" cried Fern. "Just because it's smaller than the others?" Mrs Arable put a bottle of cream on the table. "Don't cry, Fern!" she said. "The pig would probably die anyway." Fern pushed a chair out of the way and ran outdoors. The grass was wet and the earth smelled of springtime. Fern's sneakers got wet by the time she caught up with her father. "Please don't do it!" she said with eyes full of tears. "It's not right." Mr Arable stopped walking. "Fern," he said gently. "you will have to learn to control(控制)yourself." "Control myself?" cried Fern. "This is a matter of life and death, and you talk about controlling myself." Tears ran down her face and she took hold of the ax and tried to pull it out of her father's hand. "Fern," said Mr Arable, "I know more about raising pigs than you do. A weak pig makes trouble. Now run along!" "But it's unfair," cried Fern. "The pig couldn't help being born small, could it? If I had been very small at birth, would you have killed me?" Mr Arable smiled. "Certainly not," he said, looking down at his daughter with love. "But this is different. A little girl is one thing; a little pig is another." "I see no difference," replied Fern, still hanging on to the ax. "This is the most terrible thing I have ever heard of." A strange look came over John Arable's face. He seemed almost ready to cry himself. 一Taken from Charlotte's Web54. Why did Fern want to stop his father from killing the weak pig? A. Because she liked the pig very much. B.

Mr Arable did not know how to raise pigs.56. Which of the following is NOT true? A. Fern was born weak. B. Mr Arable was moved by her daughter's words in the end. C.

We can learn from the reading, Fern was . A. crazy B. kind-hearted C. brave D. impatientCSeveral days ago, I was walking home from school and saw some writing on the fence of a house I was passing by. It said, “Happiness is a direction, not a destination (终点).” I had been having a bad day and just reading this brightened my day a little. I also took out a pen and wrote one of my favorite quotes (格言) down.When I came back to the fence, I saw another quote under mine in the handwriting as the first one. I added another, and we kept at this pattern for quite a while. One day, I was writing another quote on the fence and the old man, one of my neighbors, who owned the fence, saw me. He came out and I was afraid he would be mad at me for writing on his fence; he was not known to be very friendly. He gave me a sharp glance and then read the quotes on the fence. Without saying a word, he said something to himself and then went back inside. I was a bit terrified for a while, afraid to go back to the fence, but when I did, I noticed not more quotes but two words in entirely different handwriting had been added, “Thank you.”Later, I saw the old man in his front yard. He beckoned (召唤) me over and told me how my quotes had been inspiring him, how he thanked me and how he was glad to see young people still have “values”. We are now good friends and I talk to him a lot. This experience has changed my life. I still dont know who wrote that very first quote, but if he is out there, Id like to say “thanks” to that unknown friend.58. How did the author feel before he saw the words on the fence? A. Excited B. Bored C. Unhappy D. Tired59. Why did the writer begin to write a quote on the fence? A. He wanted to practice his handwriting. B. He had gotten some help from the quote. C. He thought doing this was interesting. D. He wanted to catch h
