    A man died and was on his way to another world, either heaven (天堂) or hell (地狱). He saw an extremely grand palace half way and the owner of the palace asked him to stay and live in the palace.
    The man said, “I have been working hard during my life and now I just want to eat and sleep without any work.”
    The owner of the palace said, “If so, there is nowhere else better than here for you. There is plenty of seafood and delicacies (美味佳肴) in my palace, and you can eat whatever you like without anyone stopping you. And nothing needs to be done by you.” Then, the man settled down (安定) in the palace.
    At the beginning, the man felt very happy at the cycle of eating and sleeping. But gradually, he felt a bit lonely and void. So he went to the palace owner and said, “It is very bored to live by just eating and sleeping every day. Now I show no interest in this kind of life any more. Could you help me find a job?”
    The owner replied, “Sorry, there is no job here at all.”
    After another several months, the man could not go on with the life and went to the palace owner again, “I really can not stand this kind of life any more. If you do not offer me a job, I would prefer to go to hell instead of living here.”
    The owner of the palace smiled contemptuously (蔑视地), “Do you think it is heaven here? It is actually hell!”

    B．Because there were many jobs for him.

    D．Because he felt lonely and bored with the life.

    小题5:A

    试题分析：本文通过一则寓言故事，告诉我们工作是我们快乐的源泉。
    小题1:根据A man died and was on his way to another world可知，本题应该选D。
    小题2:根据If so, there is nowhere else better than here for you. There is plenty of seafood and delicacies (美味佳肴) in my palace, and you can eat whatever you like without anyone stopping you. And nothing needs to be done by you.可知，在这里，这个人除了吃和睡以外，什么都可以不做。所以本题选C。
    小题3:根据he felt a bit lonely and void中的lonely“孤独的”可推知，此处void的意思应与其保持一致，故应该是“空虚的”意思。所以本题选B。
    小题4:通过It is very bored to live by just eating and sleeping every day可知，因为他感到孤独和无聊，才会想找工作。所以本题选D。
    小题5:通过最后一句Do you think it is heaven here? It is actually hell!可知，这个人本认为在天堂。所以本题选A。
    点评：本文的意思比较好理解，但应该注意文章的逻辑关系，应结合上下文进行理解。本题的题目的难度比较适中，大都能在文中找到答案。特别要注意第3小题，推测时要注意前面的lonely一词。
