Jess really felt very happy. When he arrived at his seat in the classroom that morning, he found an invitation on his desk. It was from several of his classmates asking him to join them on a camping trip. This was the first time he was asked to join in an out-of-school activity. Why were they asking him now? Nobody seemed to like him. In fact,he had been so lonely that he drowned his feeling with food. As a result,he had put on a lot of weight,and this gave the kids something more to make fun of him.
Cindy, who was standing near Jess when he read the invitation, went out quickly to tell the others that the trick(恶作剧)had worked. Everyone was pleased that Jess thought that was true. But there was no camping trip. The whole thing was made up.
At first, Cindy thought it was fun. But later, when Jess told her that he was going to buy a sleeping bag with his savings(积蓄), Cindy had a second idea. She knew that Jess’s family had little money, and she hated to see him spend his savings on something he would never use. Cindy also hated to tell Jess the truth.

Oliver Twist was born in a workhouse, and when he arrived in this hard world, it was very doubtful whether he would live beyond the first three minutes. He lay on a hard little bed and struggled to start breathing.
Oliver fought his first battle without much assistance from the two people present at his birth. One was an old woman, who was nearly always drunk, and the other was a busy local doctor, who was not paid enough to be very interested in Oliver's survival.______.
However, Oliver managed to draw his first breath, and then announced his arrival, to the rest of the workhouse by crying loudly. His mother raised her pale young face from the pillow and whispered, "Let me see die child,and die."
The doctor turned away from the fire, where he had been warming his hands. "You must not talk about dying yet," he said to her kindly. He gave her the child to hold. Lovingly, she kissed the baby on its forehead with her cold white lips, then stared wildly around the room, fell back﹣and died. "Poor dear! " said the nurse, hurriedly putting a green glass bottle back in the pocket , of her long skirt.
The doctor began to put on his coat. "The baby is weak and will probably have difficulties," he said. "If so, give it a little milk to keep it quiet." Then he looked at the dead woman. "The mother was a good﹣looking girl. Where did she come from?"
"She was brought here last night" replied the old woman. "She was found lying in the street. She'd walked some distance, judging by her shoes, which were worn to pieces. Where she came from, where she was going to, or what her name was, nobody knows."
The doctor lifted the girl's left hand. "The old story." he said sadly, shaking his head. "No wedding ring, I see. Ah! Good night."
And so Oliver was left with only the drunken nurse. Without clothes, under his first blanket, he could have been the child of a king or a beggar. But when the woman dressed him later in rough cotton clothes, yellow with age, he looked exactly what he was﹣an orphan in a workhouse, ready for a life of misery, hunger, and neglect.
Oliver cried loudly. If he could have known that he was a workhouse orphan, perhaps he would have cried even more loudly.
There was no one to look after the baby in the workhouse, so Oliver was sent to a special "baby farm" nearby There, he and thirty other children rolled around the floor all day, without the inconvenience of too much food or too much clothing. Mrs Mann, the old woman who "looked after" them, was very experienced. She knew what was good for children, and a full stomach was very dangerous to their health. She also knew what was good for herself, so she kept for her own use the money that she was given for the children's food. The board responsible for the orphans sometimes checked on the health of the children, but they always sent the beadle, a kind of local policeman, to announce their visit the day before. So whenever the board arrived, of course, the children were always neat and clean.
This was the way Oliver was brought up. Consequently, at the age of nine he was a pale, thin child and short for his age. But despite frequent beatings by Mrs Mann, his spirit was strong, which was probably the reason why he managed to reach the age of nine at all.
On Oliver's ninth birthday, Mr Bumble, the beadle, came to the house to see Mrs Mann. Through the front window Mrs Mann saw him at the gate,and turned quickly to the girl who worked with her.
"Quick! Take Oliver and those others upstairs to be washed!" she said. Then she ran out to unlock the gate which was always kept locked.
1.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Oliver was born into the world on a cold day.
B. The children in the baby farm were taken good care of.
C. Doctors were usually paid too little for the work they did.
D. Many people,especially women,drank heavily at that time.
2.Which sentence is most suitable for the blank in Paragraph 2?
A. Therefore,he felt very lonely in the world.
B. Frightened at the sight of the two, he started to cry.
C. In fact,the world was privileged (荣幸)to have him in it.
D. After all,death was a common event in the workhouse.
3.It can be inferred that the gate of the baby farm was always kept locked in order to .
A. keep the children inside working all the time
B. protect the children inside from dangers outside
C. ensure the children were always neat and clean
D. prevent official visitors walking in unexpectedly
4.According to the passage,Mrs Mann .
A. was enthusiastic about looking after children
B. provided children with little food and few comforts
C. cared little about Mr Bumble's sudden appearance
D. beat children frequently to make them mentally strong
5.What is the passage mainly about?

高一英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析
One day a poor man was begging with an old wallet in his hand. As he felt sad at his own bad luck, he kept wondering why some wealthy people were never satisfied and were always wanting more.
“Here,” said he, “is the master of this house—I know him well. He is a wealthy businessman. He should have turned over his business to others, and then he could have spent the rest of his life happily, but he didn’t. Instead, he sent his ships to sea to trade with foreign lands. However, there were great storms on the water, so his ships were destroyed and his treasure disappeared in the sea. As for me, if I had only enough to eat and to buy clothing, I would not want anything more.”
Just at that moment, Fortune came down the street. She saw the poor man and stopped. She said to him, “Listen! I want to help you. Hold your wallet, and I will pour this gold into it, but only on this condition: all that falls into the wallet shall be pure gold, but every piece that falls upon the ground shall become dust. Do you understand?”
“Oh, yes,” said the poor man.
“Then be careful,” said Fortune. “Your wallet is old, so do not load it too heavily.”
The beggar was so glad that he quickly opened his wallet, and a stream of yellow dollars poured into it. The wallet grew heavy.
“Is that enough?” asked Fortune.
“Not yet.”
“Isn’t the wallet cracking (裂开)?”
“Never fear.”
The beggar’s hands began to tremble. Ah, if the gold would only pour forever!
“You are the richest man in the world now!”
“Just a little more, add just a handful or two.”
Another piece was added, and the wallet cracked. The treasure fell upon the ground and turned to dust. The beggar had nothing now but his empty wallet. He was as poor as before.
1.What happened to the wealthy businessman?
A.He was robbed of his money. B.His ships sank at sea.
C.His treasure turned to dust. D.He gave his money to the poor.
2.Why do you think Fortune gave the gold to the poor man?
A.She wanted to make the poor man the richest in the world.
B.She had too much gold already.
C.She wanted to teach the poor man a lesson.
D.She liked the way the poor man spoke.
3.Which word best describes the poor man?
A.weak B.happy
C.wise D.greedy
4.What is the best title for this article?
A.The poor man and Fortune
B.The poor man and the businessman
C.The poor man and his wallet
D.The poor man and the gold
