Once upon a time, there was a fair with different shops in town. Among those was a small shop set up by a young man.

The shop was filled with colorful jewelry and other things made of glass. One of the pieces caught a jeweler’s eye. It was shining so brightly that the jeweler thought it was a precious diamond（珍贵的钻石）. He asked the shop owner,” What’s the price of this piece?”

“20 dollars,” replied the owner.

The jeweler wanted to save some money, so he said, “I can give you only 15 dollars for it.”

The shop owner refused.

There weren’t many people around the shop, so the jeweler thought to himself, “If I come back later, the shop owner may change his mind.” After hanging about for a while, he returned to the shop, only to find the piece missing. He asked the shop owner, “Where is the piece I asked for a moment ago?”

The shop owner replied , “I sold it for 20 dollars.”

The jeweler got angry and said,” What a fool（傻瓜）you are! It was not a glass piece but a precious diamond.”

The shop owner replied, “I’m not a fool but you are! You knew that piece was precious, but you tried to buy it for 15 dollars and left.”

1.The change of the jeweler’s feeling can be described as ______________.

A.angry→happy→regretful B.happy→angry→regretful

C.angry→regretful→happy D.happy→regretful→angry

2.What lesson can we learn after reading the story?

A.Action speaks louder than words. B.Try to save as much money as we can.

C.Think twice before making decisions. D.Don’t lose much by trying to save a little.

Once upon a time, there was a family with 18 children living in a village. Two of the children, both boys, loved painting very much, but the family was so poor that it was impossible to send both of them to study at art school at the same time.

After many discussions, the two boys finally worked out a plan. They would toss(抛) a coin. The loser would go down into the mines(煤矿)and,with his money, pay for his brother's college tuition(学费).Then, when the brother who won the toss finished his studies, he would pay Tor the other brother to study at the college.

One of the brothers, Albrecht Durer, won the toss and his brother Jack went down into the mines. Durer worked with all his heart and his paintings were much better than those of most of his teachers. He was beginning to make a lot of money for his paintings.

Durer returned. When he told Jack he could go to art college, Jack said softly: "The fouryears in the mines have done too much to my hands. It is too late. Now I can’t even hold a glass."

To show his great love and respect for his brother, Durer drew his brother's hands with palms(手掌）together and thin fingers towards the sky. He called his drawing The Praying Hands, which became very famous years later.
