Long long ago, there lived a man and a woman who had seven sons. The couple wanted a daughter very much, and finally, they had a girl. She was very pretty and her parents loved her very much. One day the father needed water for the child, so he sent the seven brothers to a well (井) in the forest to get it. Once there, though, the boys began to fight and the water jug (壶) fell into the well. The boys looked into the well and thought of their father. They were afraid to go home.

Hours passed. "Where are those boys?" shouted the angry father. "They are probably playing a game and have forgotten about the water. I wish they were all turned into ravens (乌鸦) !"And when he looked up, he saw seven black birds flying away. The father was shocked. "What have I done? he thought. But it was too late. He could not take back his words.

Later, the girl grew up and discovered she had brothers. The story of their bad luck influenced her deeply, and she decided to find them. For years, she searched and did not stop. She made up her mind to find them. Finally, she found their home. To enter, she needed a special key made from a chicken bone, which she did not have. The girl thought for a moment, and then took a knife and cut off one of her fingers. With it, she opened the front door and went inside. On a table, there were seven plates and seven cups. She ate and drank a little from each of them. In the last cup, she accidently dropped a ring that her parents had given her.

Later hat day, the ravens returned for their meal. The girl hid behind the door and watched. When the seventh raven drank from his cup, something hit his mouth. The raven recognized it at once—it was his parents' ring. "I wish our sister were here, "he said, "and then we could be free. " At that moment, their sister ran to them, and suddenly the ravens were human again. The brothers kissed their sister and all eight of them went home together happily.

Long, long ago a man went to India and he had never been there before. When he got there, he saw a lot of fruit, but much of it was expensive because they couldn’t grow much because there was little water. Finally he saw a big basket of some very red and long fruit. And it was the cheapest in the shop.

So he went up and asked, “How much each kilo?” and the shop keeper said, “Two rupees(卢比).”Two rupees in India was nothing. So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and started eating it. But after he ate some of it: oh, my god! His eyes watered, his mouth watered and burnt, and his face became red. He jumped up and down, saying, “Ah! Ah! Ah!”

But he still continued to eat the fruit! Some people who were looking at him shook their heads and said, “You’re crazy, man. Those are chilies(辣椒)!You can’t eat so many! 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.” But the silly man said, “No, I can’t stop! I paid money for them, and now I’ll eat them up. It’s my money!”

And you think that man was silly, right? We sometimes do a lot of things like that. We spend money, time or effort doing something. And even though it’s been a long time, hard experience tells us it won’t work, and we know there’s no more hope, we still continue just because we’ve put money, time, effort and love in to 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’d paid.

So even if you’ve lost something, let it go and move on. That’s better than continuing to lose.

1.The man chose to buy the red and long fruit only because　　 .

A. he hadn’t eaten it before　　     B. he was hungry

C. it was cheap　　　　　　　　     D. he hadn’t seen it before

2.The underlined word “condiment” in Paragraph3 probably means_______.

A.零食　　　     B.水果　　　     C.调料　　　     D.蔬菜

3.Which of the following sentence is TRUE?

A. The man went to India to buy fruit.

B. The man didn’t want to waste money.

C. The man bought the fruit because it was expensive.　　

D. India can grow a lot of fruit.

4.From the passage, we can learn that_________.

A. we shouldn’t waste money　　

B. we shouldn’t eat chilies

C. we shouldn’t buy something cheap

D. letting something go is better than keeping on losing

Do you live in a city? Do you know how cities began? Long long ago， the world had only a few thousand people. These people moved from one place to another. They moved over the land， hunting animals for food.

No one knows how or when these people learned about growing food. But when they did， their life changed. They did not have to look for food any longer. They could stay in one place and grow it.

People began to live near one another， so the first village was established (建立). Many people came to live in the villages， and these villages became even larger.

When machines appeared， life in the villages changed again. People built factories. More and more people lived near the factories. The cities began.

Today， it’s strange that some people are moving back to small villages. Can you tell me why?
