John was seven. He lived with his grandparents in the countryside before he came to our class because his parents had to work in the city. They also had no time to take care of him. So he was a new student in our class. And he knew nothing about the things that happened in big cities. Now he was standing in the front of the classroom because Mr. Smith, the teacher, was asking John a lot of questions. But John couldn't answer any of them. Mr. Smith then decided to ask him some easier questions so that he could answer a few.

“What was Thomas Edison?” he asked.

John thought for some time and then answered in a very low voice, “A singer from America.”

“No. Thomas Edison was a great American inventor,” Mr. Smith said. He was getting a little angry now because everyone knows the great man, but he was trying not to let his students see that. Then he asked again. “Who was the first president （總統(tǒng)）of the United States?”

John thought for a long time, but said nothing. Mr. Smith shouted, “George Washington! ” John turned back and began to walk to his seat sadly.

“Come back!” Mr. Smith shouted. “I didn’t tell you to go back!”

“I’m sorry,” John said. “I thought you were calling the next student.”

Here are two stories from different parts of the world. They seem strange but, believe it or not, they re all true!
John Lee was an Englishman who refused to be hanged! In 1884 the police said Lee had killed an old woman who he used to work with. There was nothing to show that Lee had killed the woman. Lee told the police he hadn't done it, but no one believed him and he was going to be hanged. On the day of the hanging, however, the door in the floor, through which Lee's body would fall, did not open. They tried three times but each time the door stayed closed, even though it had worked well the day before. In the end they sent Lee back to prison, where he lived for the next twenty-two years. At all times, John Lee said he hadn't killed the woman, and he believed it was the "hand of God" that had saved him from death by hanging.
The police in Venezuela (委內(nèi)瑞拉)in South America followed a man home one night. He was the thief they wanted to catch. However, half of his house was standing in Venezuela and the other half was standing in Colombia (哥倫比亞). Venezuela's neighbor. When the police entered the house, the man ran upstairs to his bedroom, which was in Colombia, and called his lawyer (律師). The Venezuelan police were not allowed to enter Colombia so they could not enter the bedroom. They asked the police in Colombia to help.

Farmer John and Farmer Bob were neighbours. For more than 30 years, they had been getting along very well.

Then their good relationship broke. It began with a small thing, then bitter words, and then weeks of silence. One morning Farmer John woke up to find a stream between the two farms. “It must be Bob,” John thought.

Then one day there was a knock on John’s door. He opened it to find a carpenter(木匠) standing at the doorway.

“I’m looking for a few days’ work,” the carpenter said.

 “I do have a job for you,” John said. “Look across the stream at that farm. That’s my neighbour Bob. He dug a stream between the two farms. I want you to build a fence—an 8-foot fence. I don’t want to see his place or his face any more. I don’t have such a neighbour!”The carpenter said, “I think I know what to do, sir, and I’ll be able to do a job that pleases you.” Farmer John helped the carpenter get the materials ready and then he was off for the day. About sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. The farmer’s eyes opened wide. There was no fence there at all!

    It was a bridge! And the neighbour, Bob, was coming across, with his hand outstretched(伸出). “Hi, John! You’re quite a fellow to build this bridge!”

 Then they met in the middle, taking each other’s hands. “I’m terribly sorry for what I have said and done. We should be good to each other.” said Farmer Bob. Then they turned to see the carpenter, who was ready to go. “No, wait! Stay a few days. I have a lot of other jobs for you,” said Farmer John. “I’d love to stay,” the carpenter said, “but I have more bridges to build.”

1.What does the sentence “You’re quite a fellow to build this bridge!” mean?

A. John was great to build this bridge.

B. John was not good at building bridges.

C. John was foolish to build such a bridge.

D. John should build the bridge earlier.

2.What do you think of the carpenter?

A. Shy.         B. Wise.        C. Proud.         D. Careless.

3.What is the best title for the passage?

 A. What a Big Fence!            B. A Strong Bridge.

C. Three Kind Men              D. A Fence or a Bridge ?
