     Two strangers were sitting together in a plane. They were on a long journey. One of the man was a
teacher, the other was a farmer.
     They sat without talking for a while, then the farmer said, "Let's do something to pass the time." "What
do you want to do?" the teacher asked. "We can ask each other riddles," the farmer said. "You start." " Let's
make the rules first," the teacher said. "And to make the game more interesting, let's play it for money. If
we don't know the answer to a riddle, we have to pay a dollar." The farmer thought about this for a while,
then he said, "That's not fair(公平). You are a teacher, an educated man. You know more things than I
do. I am just a farmer." "That's true," the teacher said. "What do you think we should do?" the farmer
said, "If you don't know the answer to a riddle, you pay me 100 dollars. If I don't know the answer to
a riddle, I'll pay you 50 dollars." The teacher thought for a while, then he said, "OK. That's fair. Who'll
go first?" "I will," the farmer said. "Here is my riddle. What has three legs when it walks, but only two
legs when it flies?" The teacher thought and thought, "What has three legs when it walks, but only two
when it flies?" Then he said, "That is a good one. I don't know the answer." He gave the farmer 100
dollars and said, "Tell me the answer. What is it?"

    阅读理解
    In today’s world many people seem to be hungry for money. Some of them even lose their lives for it. Money does have its most useful effect(影响) on the poor, but once a person has a rich life, a lot more money doesn’t mean more happiness.
    If money was everything, all millionaires(百万富翁) would have true love, true friendship, good health and a long life. However, this is not always true.
    Nothing else is more pleasant than the three words which are “I love you”. But can love be bought? I’m afraid not. Love means to give, not to take. To every person, health and long life are probably the most precious(宝贵的) things. Well, can health and a long life be bought with money? The answer is “No”.
    Of all the longest living people in the world, few of them are millionaires. True friendship can’t be bought either. In a word, where money is worshiped(崇拜), money can cause brothers to quarrel, lovers to hate, strangers to fight and so on. No matter how much money you have, it is still not enough to make you a happy person if you have not one to laugh with, no one to cry for.
    【小题1】According to the passage, which of the following do you think is right?

    A.Money is everything.
    B.Money isn’t necessary.
    C.Money is important, but not the most important.
    D.With no money, with no success.
    【小题2】 What’s the most important thing for every person according to the writer’s ideas?
    A.Only money.B.Health and a long life
    C.Only friendship.D.A, B and C
    【小题3】 Which sentence of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A.If you haven’t much money, you can’t get more happiness.
    B.You may live a long life even if you are poor.
    C.Every year many people die in the world because their family is poor.
    D.If you are rich, you will have less friendship.
    【小题4】In fact, all millionaires ____________.
    A.have much moneyB.die earlier
    C.love their money D.have true love
    【小题5】 What does the sentence “Love means to give, not to take.” mean in the passage?
    A.爱意味着给你,而不能带走。B.爱是可以得到的,不要走开。
    C.爱意味着奉献,而不是索取。D.爱是可以索取的,而不必付出。
