九年级英语单词拼写中等难度题查看答案及解析
An old man went to India. When he got there, he saw a lot of fruit for sale, but much of it was very expensive. Only a big basket of red fruit was cheap.
“How much per kilo?” the old man asked.
“Two rupees (卢比),” the shopkeeper answered. Two rupees in India is almost nothing. So the old man bought a kilogram and started eating them.
However, as soon as he started eating, his mouth began to burn, his eyes began to water and his whole face became as red as the fruit. As he coughed and struggled to breathe, he jumped up and down, screaming (尖叫), “Ah! Ah! Ah!”
And then he continued to eat the “fruit”!
Some people saw him and said, “Those are chili peppers (红辣椒)! You can’t just eat them by the handful (一大把)!”
The old man said, “I paid for them, so I must eat them.”
This old man must seem pretty stupid. But are we a lot smarter? In our life, all of us have put money, time and effort into something—maybe a relationship or a job—and sometimes, even if we know there’s no hope that things will get better, we still continue with it. Why? Because we’ve put in all that money, time and effort.
What we can learn from the old man is this: if you’ve lost a lot for something that doesn’t work, let it go and move on. It’s better than continuing losing.
根据短文内容判断对错,对的为“T”,错的为“F”。
1.The old man bought a kilogram of chili peppers because of the beautiful color.
2.Two rupees doesn’t mean a lot of money in India.
3.The old man continued eating because he was too hungry to stop.
4.The writer compares something in our life like a relationship or a job to the chili peppers in the story.
5.The story wants to tell us that sometimes we need to give up wisely.

When I was a little girl, my father loved to play catch (接球) with me. I wasn't very good at it, but we would play anyway. He was always telling me "Keep your eye on the ball" as I would not be able to catch even the easiest of throws.
As I got older, we didn't play catch as much. If I had a problem and would go to my father to ask for his advice, he would try to joke with me and say "Keep your eye on the ball". We would both laugh because usually that advice was not useful to the problem, but he would try to make me smile.

He could only give mouth words, which were sometimes hard to understand. After a while, I seemed to be pretty good at reading at his lips (唇), even better than the nurses who were caring for him there.
During one of our last conversations, I was telling him about a problem I was having with my boyfriend. Once again, I could read his lips "Keep your eye on the ball." We both smiled.
