A man walked to India from far away. When he got there, he saw a lot of fruit. Among them there was a big basket of very red, long fruit. And it was the cheapest in the shop. "I'd like a kilogram of this kind of fruit, please," he said to the shop keeper. After the keeper gave him the fruit, he began to eat some of it. "Oh, my God!" he shouted. His eyes watered, his mouth watered; his eyes were burning, his head was burning; and his face became red. As he coughed, he jumped up and down, saying, "Ah! Ah! Ah!"

But he still kept eating the fruit! Some people looking at him and said, "You're crazy, man. Those are chilies(辣椒)! You can't eat so many; they're not good for you! People use them as a condiment, but only a little bit to put into food for taste. You can't just eat them like that; they're not fruit!"

But the man said, "No, I can't stop! I paid money for them. It's my money!"

Sometimes we do a lot of things like that. We still continue just because we've put money, time, effort and love into it. Just like the man who ate the chilies and felt so bad but couldn't stop because he didn't want to waste the money he had paid.

A．knew India very well

D．didn't know much about India before

2.What did the man think of the red, long fruit?

A．It was very delicious. B．It was awful.C．It

was cheap and tasted nice. D．It looked like a carrot.

3.The underlined word "condiment" means in Chinese.

A．水果 B．食鹽

C．食譜 D．佐料

4.The man still ate the chilies after he knew they were condiments because he thought .

A．he had paid for them B．they could make him warm

C．he was very brave D．they could help him stronger

5.What's the purpose of the author in writing this passage?

A．To tell us that chilies are harmful to our health.

B．To tell us that we should let pay no attention to what we have lost.

C．To tell us that you don't always get back what you've lost.

Avril Ramona Lavigne is a Canadian singer song writer. She was born in Belleville, Ontariok, in 1984, but spent most of her youth in the small town of Napanee. She released her first album Complicated(《超復(fù)雜》) when she was only 17 years old.

Lavigne was only 15 when she was discovered. At that time she had no idea how to make an album. "A career just came early for me, I was trying to figure out this life," she said. "My friends still don't know if they want to be a teacher or a doctor."

Lavigne prefers to wear loose(寬松的) trousers, old Tshirts and a frown(皺眉). That's not like the tight clothes and sweet smiles of many pop stars. Lavigne knew that she would never be like Britney Spears. In her high school days, "I was only around guys," she said. "I hung out with guys, playing hockey and sometimes getting in fights. My band members were all guys."

It was not until she got older that she started acting more girly. "From then to now, I look really different—but that's called growing up," she said.
