There was a businessman who was deep in debt(债务) and could see no way out. He sat on a park bench, head in his hands.
Suddenly, an old man appeared before him. “I can see that something is troubling you,” he said. After listening to the businessman’s story, the old man wrote out a check(支票), and put it in his hand, saying, “Take it and pay me back here exactly one year from today.” Then he turned and disappeared as quickly as he had come.
The businessman saw in his hand a check for $500,000, signed by John D. Rockefeller, one of the richest men in the world.
“I can pay off my debts in a second!” he realized. But instead, the businessman decided to put the check in his safe(保险箱). Just knowing it was there might give him the power to save his business, he thought.
He went back and worked hard to make his business successful. Within several months, he was out of debt and making money once again.
Exactly one year later, he returned to the park with the check. At the agreed-upon time, the old man appeared. Behind the old man was a nurse. The nurse spoke to the businessman and said that the old man was mentally ill and was always telling people he was John D. Rockefeller.
The businessman was shocked to hear this. All year long he’d been buying and selling, believing that he had half a million dollars behind him. Suddenly, he realized that it wasn’t the money, real or imagined, that had turned his life around. It was his newfound self-confidence that gave him the power to achieve anything he went after.
1.The businessman probably felt_________when he got the check from the old man.
A.anxious B.excited C.annoyed D.unhappy
2.The business put the check away because_________.
A.he didn’t want it to be stolen B.having the money brought him confidence
C.he hoped to find his real owner D.he was scared of spending it
3.What does the underlined word “mentally” mean in Chinese?
A.心理上 B.身体上 C.言语上 D.行动上
4.What happened at the agreed-upon time the next year?
A.The old man asked the businessman to pay back at once.
B.The businessman returned the check to the old man.
C.The old man didn’t remember he was John D. Rockefeller.
D.The businessman found out that the old man had a mental illness.
5.What does the story tell us?

There was once a King and he wanted to find out who could paint the best picture of peace. And he would offer a prize to the artist. Many artists tried. The King looked at all the pictures, but there were only two he really liked and he had to choose between them.
One picture was of a calm(平静的) lake. The lake was a perfect mirror for peaceful mountains all around it. Overhead was a blue sky with white soft clouds. Everyone thought that it was a perfect picture of peace.
The other picture had mountains too. But these were rugged(崎岖的) and bare(无遮蔽的). Above was an angry sky. And it was raining and lightening. Down the side of the mountain, a waterfall fell quickly. This did not look peaceful at all.
But when the King looked carefully, he saw behind the waterfall a bush(矮树丛) growing in a crack(裂缝) in the rock. In the bush a mother bird had built her nest(巢，窝). There, she sat on her nest... in perfect peace.
Which picture do you think won the prize?
The King chose the second picture. “Because，” said the King, “peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. Peace means to be in the middle of all those things and still be calm in your heart. That is the real meaning of peace.”
1.What did the King want the artists to do?
________________________________________________________________________
2.What did everyone think of the 1st picture?
________________________________________________________________________
3.Why did the King choose the 2nd picture?
