    I decided to have dinner in the hotel, for I arrived late one night on a business trip. As I was finishing my meal, an elderly couple came in to dine. They were holding hands and had lovely smiles on their faces. They sat three tables from me. I was amazed at the love they showed for each other. It seemed to strike home all the more, because it was shortly after ending a 20-year marriage and I still had pain in my heart.
    My waiter was also their waiter. As I paid my bill, I inquired as to what their bill was. He informed me, and I gave him $40 to pay their bill.  He asked if I knew them and I told him "No, I just wanted to repay them for the love that they were showing to each other," and then I departed.
    The next day I entered the restaurant to dine before my departure. After I had been seated, the waiter who served me the night before told me that the strangest thing happened after I left the restaurant. 
    When the elderly couple went to pay for their meal, they were informed that it had been paid. When they inquired who had done this, the hostess told them they had no idea who I was, just retelling what I said.
    The couple were amazed. They looked around, asked for the bill of two young couples who were seated together, paid their bill and departed, saying "Love begets(产生) Love" to the amazement of the hostess and waiter.
    I smiled and said "That's nice," and proceeded to order my meal.
    About 45 minutes later, I finished my meal and was about to head out, but my waiter was nowhere to be found. I waited and waited and finally walked over to the hostess stand and explained that I needed to pay for my meal and hurry to the airport. She smiled and explained that I would not have to pay for my meal, because both the waiter and she felt compelled to pay my bill due to the joy that was brought to the faces of the elderly couple and the amazement of the young couples.
    When I told her that they didn't have to do that, she said with a smile "Love begets Love."

    Since I was a child, I called my father my Kong, after King Kong. I believed that he was just as strong as the giant ape(猿猴). As he faced death, I did my best to help release him to the next life.
    Two months after he passed away, my sister called to ask if I would like to go see Lisa Williams, a well-known witch（巫婆）. I was familiar with Lisa from her show on Lifetime, and since I was eager to get a sign from my father, I agreed to go.
    I took my father’s gold watch and listened as Lisa helped audience members communicate with their loved ones. “I have a grandfather-like figure with me and he is speaking about his granddaughter Jilly,” she announced. The audience was quiet; no one raised a hand. I nudged（用肘轻推） my sister and whispered to her that this was Dad ,for my third child and my father had a deep bond(关系，纽带) and he called her Jilly.
    Although I sensed his presence, I wasn’t confident enough to raise my hand. I needed something a bit more concrete, something undoubted.
    “This man is letting me know he had cancer,” she continued. I nudged my sister harder and assured her this was our father. Lisa went on to say that this person died in June (my father had died June 8th). There was swelling of the legs.
    “Important information,” she called out. My heart beat fast . I jumped up when she asked, “Who is holding his watch?” I waved the watch in the air.
    “He wishes you congratulations.” My fourth child was born three weeks after my father died. I was in shock and could not believe I was getting a chance to hear from him, yet I knew our bond was strong enough that he could come to the world. She banged on her chest like an ape and apologized, saying, “I don’t know why but he wants me to do this like Tarzan.” It didn’t resonate（共鸣） with me until my sister called out “King Kong!” I was convinced. No way could this woman have ever known a detail unless Dad was communicating through her.
    Each bit of information she gave us was just as meaningful. She ended our session by informing us that he would send us coins. The very next day I found six coins in various places; they seemed to have come out of nowhere. Even in death he is my Kong, and he remains important in my life.

    Chuck，unlike other frogs，didn't like catching flies himself. But he did love eating them.

    Some frogs thought Chuck was lazy. Some believed he must think he was too good for them. Some thought Chuck was the strangest frog ever.
    That didn't matter to Chuck. Each morning，Chuck jumped over and sat under the spider's web. Then when Lady Eightlegs went off to dip (浸) her feet in the pond，Chuck ate flies from her web.
    One morning while Chuck was enjoying his fly breakfast，Lady Eightlegs returned and caught him.
    “You're the one who keeps eating my flies！”she cried.
    Chuck jumped away and into the pond. Now there was an idea！Why not spin (结) his own web?
    He collected some vines (葡萄藤) from a nearby farm. Then he began to spin his web. He worked on his web for hours，until very late at night. And then he fell asleep.
    When he woke up the next morning，he found that he got caught by the vines.
    “Help！”he shouted.
    Lady Eightlegs looked up from the edge of the pond. She hurried up to help Chuck out of the vine web.
    “No matter how hard I try，I can't spin a spider's web，”Chuck said.
    “Of course not，”Lady Eightlegs said. “You're a frog. Frogs can't spin spider's webs any better than spiders can swim，I guess.”
    “But I always see you in the water，”Chuck said.
    “I only wade in (蹚水) up to my knees，”Lady Eightlegs sighed. “How wonderful it would be to swim in the middle of the pond and float (漂浮) peacefully under the sun.”
    Chuck smiled，“I have an idea.”
    From that day forward，Chuck carried Lady Eightlegs out to the middle of the pond，where they floated and played together. When they returned to land，they shared a breakfast of flies from her spider's web.
    It wasn't exactly an ordinary friendship. But Chuck was not an ordinary frog.
    小题1:The second paragraph is written to show that Chuck ______.
    A．was different from other frogsB．didn't get along well with other frogs
    C．led a lonely lifeD．was a proud frog
    小题2:What do we know about Chuck's web?
    A．Lady Eightlegs helped Chuck spin it.B．It was successfully spun by Chuck.
    C．It was spun far from the pond.D．Chuck failed to spin it himself.
    小题3:It can be inferred from the text that ______.
    A．Chuck had tried to catch Lady EightlegsB．Chuck had difficulty collecting vines
    C．Lady Eightlegs was very wiseD．Lady Eightlegs swam well
    小题4:What was Lady Eightlegs' attitude towards Chuck in the end?
    A．Worried.B．Friendly.C．Doubtful. D．Cold.

    “How did Norman know, Sister Emma?”
    “He overheard you and Aryan arguing. I suspect that he purposely overheard on you. Norman knew or concluded what profession Aryan practiced. He might well have followed Aryan on his explorations. Whether he did or not is beside the point. When Aryan came back yesterday afternoon, Norman certainly decided that he had made some find, for Aryan told Norman that he would be leaving for the capital to meet the detective the next morning. He probably followed Aryan to your room and overheard what passed between you.
    “Since you could not act against the law of man and God, he would serve a natural justice in his own way. He took the jar of poison hemlock from the chemistry shop and when Aryan asked for a drink, he supplied it. Norman did not know the precise quantity needed and so Aryan did not suffer the full effects until after the bell called the community into the dining hall for the evening meal.”
    Abbess was following Sister Emma closely.
    “And then?”
    “Then I began my investigation, and then the detective arrived seeking Aryan for an explanation for his death.”
    “But who killed Norman?”
    “Norman knew that sooner or later he would be discovered. But more importantly in his guileless (坦率的) mind there was also the guilt of having taken a man’s life to be considered. Norman was a simple man. He decided that he should accept the punishment—the honor-price of a life. What greater honor-price for the life of Aryan could he offer than his own? He also took a draught of poison hemlock.”
    There was a pause.
    小题1:What may have happened to Aryan?
    A．He was killed by poison.B．He was found missing.
    C．He was poisoned but saved.D．He went away with what he had found.
    小题2:What did Abbess do according to Sister Emma when Aryan came back?
    A．She talked with Aryan about Norman’s strange actions. .
    B．She secretly discussed with Aryan about something secret.
    C．She followed the two men and found what they were doing.
    D．She let Sister Emma help find out the two men’s secret.
    小题3:What can we conclude from the above story?
    A．Abbess served the detective.
    B．Emma knows all the people mentioned.
    C．Aryan was sent to kill Abbess but failed.
