The beggar’s well-deserved dinner
Many years ago, there lived two woodcutters, Rahim and Rahman in a village. They went out every    36   to cut fire wood. After cutting wood. They would sit down and   37   their lunch from their boxes. Next they would   38   the firewood till the end of the day in the marketplace before going    39  .
One day, they were eating their lunch when Rahim noticed a beggar. The beggar   40   eyed the lunch and said, “I wonder if you can spare a little food for me.” Rahim, who felt   41  for him, was about to give him some of it, but was   42   back by Rahman. “ We   43   hard throughout the morning and   44   enough food for ourselves to see us through the   45   .  So you see we cannot give you any food. But if you   46  , I can lend you my axe and we both will teach you how to cut firewood and sell it. And you’ll have   47   to eat and buy yourself a(n)   48   axe to cut more fire wood. This way, you can   49   a livelihood with dignity (尊严).”
The beggar joined them.   50  , Rahman showed him how to cut firewood. Thereafter they took him to the   51   and told him how to sell it.
At the end of the day, the beggar proudly took the   52   to Rahman to show them his earnings. Rahman took him to buy a new axe. Then the beggar entered an inn (客栈).
After he had gone, Rahman told Rahim, “By teaching him how to   53   his own trade, we have taught him a skill, which will last him a   54  . Now he will hever go hungry again.” As a very famous saying goes, “Don’t give them fish   55   teach them how to catch the fish.”

My husband is a born shopper. He loves to look at things and to touch them. He likes to compare prices between the same items in different shops. He would never think of buying anything without looking around in several different shops. On the other hand, I’m not a shopper. I think shopping is boring and unpleasant. If I like something and I have enough money to take it, I buy it at once. I never look around for a good price or a better deal. Of course my husband and I never go shopping together. Doing shopping together would be too painful for both of us. When it comes to shopping, we go our different ways.
Sometimes I ask my son Jimmy to buy some food in the shop not far from our home. But he is always absent-minded. This was his story.
One day I said to him, ” I hope you won’t forget what I have told you to buy.” “ No,“ said Jimmy. “I won’t forget. You want three oranges , six eggs and a pound of meat.”
He went running down the street to the shop. As he ran, he said to himself over and over again, “three oranges , six eggs and a pound of meat.”
In the beginning he remembered everything but he stopped several times. Once he saw two men fighting outside a clothes shop until a policeman stopped them. One of them was badly hurt. Then he stopped to give ten cents to a beggar. Then he met some of his friends and he played with them for a while. When he reached the shop, he had forgotten everything except six eggs.
As he walked home, his face became sadder and sadder. When he saw me he said, “I’m sorry, Mum. I have forgotten to buy oranges and the meat. I only remembered to buy six eggs, but I’ve dropped three of them.”

These days, many passers-by always spot a beggar on the Jiaochangkou Street in Yuzhong District of Chongqing in southwest China.

The beggar’s name is Xia Haibo, and he was born in Meihe Village, Tianmen City of Hubei Province. Being 25 years old, he is quite a special beggar in some ways — he doesn’t beg on his knees, as other beggars do when begging. Rather, he often stands in the crowded street, either reading a book or thinking about something carefully. He also started a blog on the Internet which has been clicked more than 500,000 times. He likes reading — he has read many classical Chinese poems. He has kept writing and recently, he has planned to publish his writings.

In 1998, Xia entered Tianmen Middle School as the best student in his town. However, a year before he took the college entrance examination, he came down with a high fever and was later diagnosed (诊断) as having rheumatoid arthritis (类风湿性关节炎). In order to treat his disease, his father borrowed 60,000 yuan from relatives and friends. However, with this money, he didn’t recover from the disease. He did not want to become a burden (负担) to his family any more. So in July, 2006, he left his hometown and went to Wuhan to make a living by begging.

Begging has become a job to Xia now. However, he doesn’t plan to go on living like this. “By July 24, 2008, when I have been begging for two years, I will stop my begging life. I promise,” he said.

It is his plan that by using the money he “earns”, he will rent a small shop in his hometown and keep on writing in his spare time.

Right now, he is trying to finish a book of his own. The book, called Love Is With Me, tells about the people who helped him during his begging life.

1.The underlined word “spot” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to “______”.

A.forgive           B.record            C.beat             D.notice

2.When did Xia Haibo get the serious illness?

A.In 1998.          B.In 2001.           C.In 2000.           D.In 2006.

3.How does Xia beg in the street?

A.He begs on his knees in the street.

B.He writes Chinese poems for those who like poems.

C.He reads or thinks while standing in the street.

D.He teaches people how to surf the Internet.

4. Which of the following is NOT true about Xia Haibo?

A.His dream is to have his book published.

B.He will not stop begging until he earns enough money for his future life.

C.He is writing a book to express his thanks to those who helped him.

D.He will keep writing while running a small business.
