阅读理解。     Long ago, near the village of Hedley, there lived a strange and playful trickster (骗子), known
as the Hedley Kow. Sometimes it looked like an ordinary object. Sometimes it looked like a donkey
or a goat.
     One evening, as an old woman went along the path, she saw an old iron pot lying in the ditch.
"Fancy that," she said. "Nobody seems to want this old pot. I will take it home and plant pretty
flowers in it."
     When she tried to lift it, she saw that it was full of gold pieces. "Well, now, if that doesn"t beat
all," she said. "I"m rich! I can buy a fine house and fancy clothes."
     The pot was heavy, so she tied her shawl around it and began to drag it home. After a while,
she stopped to rest. When she looked in the pot, she was amazed to see that it was full of silver
pieces!
     "Oh, my God!" she said. "Aren"t I the lucky one! If it were gold, thieves would have been after
me. My friends might have been jealous. But I can hide these silver pieces, take out a few at a time,
and live like a queen."
     On she went, pulling the pot after her. She was nearing home now. At her gate, she looked into
the pot. What a surprise! The silver had changed into a lump (块) of iron. "Iron," she said. "Well,
now! No one will be jealous or want to steal this from me. I can use this iron to prop my door open
and let in fresh air and sunlight. Lucky me!"
     As soon as she said that, the pot began to grow and later it became a goat. Then it jumped up
and ran off down the road laughing.
     "Fancy that!" said the old woman. "I believe I have seen the Hedley Kow! Not many folks can
say that, and that"s a fact. I"ll just sit up by my fire tonight thinking about how lucky I was to see it
for myself. I truly must be the luckiest person in the world!"1. Which of the following sayings can best describe this story?A. All good things come to an end.
B. The early bird catches the worm.
C. Content is better than riches.
D. All bad luck goes away.2. What does "the Hedley Kow" stand for in the eyes of the old woman?A. Glory.

     There was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care.To water his flowers,he used
two buckets.One was a shiny and new bucket.The other was a very old and dilapidated one,which
had seen many years of service,but was now past its best.
     Every morning,the gardener would fill up the two buckets.Then he would carry them along the
path,one on each side,to the flowerbeds.The new bucket was very proud of itself.It could carry a full
bucket of water without a single drop spilled (溢出)．The old bucket felt very ashamed because of
its holes:before it reached the flowerbeds,much water had leaked along the path.
     Sometimes the new bucket would say,"See how capable I am!How good it is that the gardener
has me to water the flowers every day!I don"t know why he still bothers with you.What a waste of
space you are!"
     And all that the old bucket could say was,"I know I"m not very useful,but I can only do my best.
I"m happy that the gardener still finds  a little bit of use in me,at least."
     One day,the gardener heard that kind of conversation.After watering the flowers as usual,he said,
"You both have done your work very well.Now I am going to carry you back.I want you to look
carefully along the path."
     Then the two buckets did so.All along the path,they noticed,on the side where the new bucket was
carried,there was just bare(光秃秃的) earth；on the other side where the old bucket was carried,
there was a joyous row of wild flowers,leading all the way to the garden.

C．Wornout.
D．Plainlooking2．What was the old bucket ashamed of?A.   His past.
B．His aging.
C.   His manner.
D．His leaking.3．The new bucket made conversations with the old one mainly to________.A. laugh at the old one
B. take pity on the old one
C. show off its beautiful looks
D. praise the gardener"s kindness4．Why was the old bucket still kept by the gardener?A. Because it was used to keep a balance.
B. Because it stayed in its best condition.
C. Because it was taken as a treasure.
