There was a man. He had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest(探索)in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was far away. The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in the summer, the youngest son in the fall. When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen. The first son said that the tree was ugly ,bent and weak. The second son said no---it was covered with green buds and full of promise. The third son said it was laden with blossoms and they smelt so sweet and looked so beautiful. The last son disagreed with all of them. He said it was ripe and drooping(下垂 )with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.. The man then said to his sons that they were all right, because they each had seen but only one season in the tree’s life. He told them that they cannot judge a tree or a person, by only one season, and that the essence(本質(zhì)) of who they are---- the pleasure, the joy and love that come from that life---can only be measured at the end (蓋棺論定),when all the seasons are up.    If you give up when it is in winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, the fulfillment of your fall. Don’t let the pain of one destroy the joy of all the rest.
小題1:Why did the man sent his sons each on a quest?
小題2:When did the fourth son go?
小題3:What did the third son say when they came back?
小題4: Did the man agree with all of his sons?
小題5:Which season will you miss If you give up when it is in winter?

小題1:Because he wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly.
小題2: In the fall.
小題3:The third son said it was laden with blossoms and they smelt so sweet and looked so beautiful.
小題4:Yes.
小題5:You will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, the fulfillment of your fall.

試題分析:這篇短文通過一個父親輪番派遣他的4個兒子到很遠的地方去尋一棵梨樹的故事,告訴人們不能以一季來判斷樹,更不能以一時來判斷人,因為人之本質(zhì)源自他們喜、樂、愛的根本——只有在其生之了結(jié)時才可蓋棺論定。倘若你在冬季就已放棄,那無疑會錯過春季的生機、夏季的美麗和秋季的收益。勿為一季的痛苦而破壞了所有的歡樂。
小題1:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文 He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest(探索)in turn的描述可知,這位父親想讓他的兒子學會不以一時來判斷人和事。故應答:Because he wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly。
小題2:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in the summer, the youngest son in the fall的描述可知,第四個兒子是秋天去的。故可答: In the fall。
小題3:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文The third son said it was laden with blossoms and they smelt so sweet and looked so beautiful的描述可知應答:The third son said it was laden with blossoms and they smelt so sweet and looked so beautiful。
小題4:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文The man then said to his sons that they were all right的描述可知,這位父親同意他的兒子的看法。故應答:Yes。
小題5:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文If you give up when it is in winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, the fulfillment of your fall.的描述可知應答:You will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, the fulfillment of your fall。

閱讀與回答問題(5小題, 每題2分,共10分)
Do you feel lonely when your best friend isn’t around? Of course, yes. Here’s our advice to you—and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes.
You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime when a best friend isn’t around—maybe because he or she moved to a different school or a different class. You want to have new friends, but how do you make them? Maybe it seems everybody else already has his or her friends. But remember, there’s always room for more friends.
Start by looking around your classroom—think about which kids you’d like to play with at break. Look for chances to say hi to them, smile, and be friendly. Offer to share something or express your appreciation (欣賞) to them. Invite someone to play with you or say, “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom. When you’re at break, walk over to kids you want to play with, act friendly, and say “Hi, can I play, too?” or just join in.
If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends. The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Be kind, be friendly, share, say nice things, offer to help ---and pretty soon, you’ll have one, or two, or even more new friends.
You might still miss that special best friend. But when you see each other, you can share something you didn’t have before he or she left. You can introduce him or her to your new friends!
小題1: How do you feel when your best friend isn’t around you according to the passage?
 
小題2: Why do some kids feel lonely at break according to the writer?
小題3: What is the best way to make friends according to the writer?
小題4: Why do some kids need help from teachers to make friends according to the writer?
小題5: What should you do if you want to make more friends? (請自擬一句話作答)
