    Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案): ( 12分)
    He was just an ordinary postman. Day after day, he shuttled(穿梭) back and forth across the village. For him, life
    was without waves.

    　　One day, he was delivering mail as usual. When he looked up in the sky, he suddenly lost his balance. It was a little stone that tripped him up（绊倒）. He observed the stone that had embarrassed（难堪） him, finding it strange but beautiful. In his eyes, this stone was like a lost jewel（宝石） covered with dust. The postman then placed the stone in his bag carefully. Because of this stone’s arrival, his day was lightened. He suddenly had a bold thought—I can build a castle with such beautiful stones. How magnificent it will be!
    　　His ordinary life started to be different since then. He still delivered mail, but he collected every stone he could find along the way. All those dusty stones, in his eyes, glittered like diamonds.
    　　Gradually, his small bag couldn’t hold his stones anymore and he needed to use a wheelbarrow to carry them. People didn’t understand what happened when they saw the postman delivering letters with a wheelbarrow full of stones.
    　　After collecting enough stones, he started to build his castle. During the daytime, he passed along the dreams of others; and during the nighttime, he built his own dream. No one was willing to join in. But the postman was unmoved, still happily building his castle. Because he knew, the dream and the castle only belonged to him.
    　　After 20 years of working day and night, the postman’s dream castle was finally completed. It was a magnificent castle just as he had imagined. It was a miracle arising from the ordinary.
    　　This is a real story. The postman’s name is Xue Waller. The stone castle has become a famous tourist attraction in France, which is called“ ideal palace of Ferdinand Cheval.”At the entrance of the stone castle, there is a sentence—“I want to know how far a dream stone can go.”

    For hundreds of years, Japan has been hit, from time to time, by enormous (巨大的) tsunamis（海啸）. These awful sudden risings of the sea are caused by earthquakes or underwater volcanic actions. The story of the boy Yuuki is the story of such a disaster.
    Yuuki lived with his family in a seaside village, below a small mountain. One day, as he played on top of the mountain, Yuuki felt a small earthquake but it was not strong enough to frighten anybody and passed quickly. Soon after, however, Yuuki noticed the sea darken and begin running away from the shore very fast, leaving behind wide stretches of beach that had never been seen before.
    With a grasp, Yuuki remembered reading that just before a terrible tsunami, the sea suddenly and quickly rolls backward. He ran to the beach, warning the villagers who had gathered to admire the new beach land.
    “Get back!” shouted the boy, “There is a terrible danger!”
    But no one listened. They laughed at him and continued playing in the new sand and watched the sea roll backward even more.
    Desperate, Yuuki could think of only one thing to do. He lit a tree branch, raced to the rice fields and began burning the harvested rice. Then he called out, “Fire! Fire! Everyone run to the mountain! Now!”
    When everyone reached the mountain-top, a villager cried out, “Yuuki is mad! I saw him set the fire.” Yuuki hung his head in shame, but said nothing as the villagers cursed him. Just then, someone shouted, “Look!”
    In the distance what seemed to be a huge dark line was speeding towards the shore. As it got nearer the people realized the long thin line of darkness was the returning sea, towering like a mountain.
    The villagers watched in terror as the water struck the shore, smashing over their homes then tearing out the land as it receded.
    On the mountain everyone stared speechlessly at the destruction below.
    “I'm sorry I burned the fields,” said Yuuki, his voice trembling.
    “Yuuki,” village-chief answered. “You saved us all.”
    The villagers cheered and raised Yuuki into the air. “We were going to
    celebrate our rice harvest tonight,” said one, “but now we’ll celebrate that we’re all still alive!”
    小题1:Where was Yuuki when the earthquake struck?
    A．On the beach.
    B．On the mountain.
    C．In the rice fields.
    D．At his family home.

    a. Yuuki set fire to the rice fields.
    b. The villagers laughed and played on the beach.
    c. The land was torn away by the water.
    d. Yuuki ran to warn the villagers.
    e. The villagers stared at the destruction.
    f. The people were cursing Yuuki.
    A．d, b, e, a, c, f
    B．b, a, d, e, c, f
    C．d, b, a, f, c, e
    D．a, d, b, e, f, c
    小题3:How did Yuuki save the villagers from the disaster?
    A．He told them about the earthquake.
    B．He explained why the sea was flowing out.
    C．He told the village chief to warn the people.
    D．He set fire to the rice field.
    小题4:What were the people planning to do before the tsunami struck their village?
    A．Harvest the rice crop.
    B．Play on the beach.

    　　“Yes,” he said again.
    　　“Can you show me some ideal road conditions?” I asked him, and he smiled. “The car that sells well is the one        will provide power and speed on the       roads. That car is the winner.” 
    　　We had got to the car. “Don’t look for ideal competition conditions,” I said. “        the unfair and come out a winner!”
