示例[A] [B] [C] [D]Passage 1Uncle Li and Uncle Wang are good friends. They live next to each other and their farms are both at the foot of the mountain. So they can help each other. But neither of them likes to use his head. They're both poor though they work hard. Most villagers have built new houses, but they still live in the low and broken houses. They never find out why.Once Uncle Li went to town to buy some medicine for his wife. In the town he heard the apples in a city were expensive. He told Uncle Wang about it as soon as he went back. They decided to carry some apples to the city. They borrowed some money from their friends and bought nearly 1,000 kilograms of apples in the villages and carried them to the city on a tractor. Bad luck! A lot of apples have already been carried there when they arrived. A few days later they had to sell them at a low price。

They felt unhappy and returned to their village.“I can’t understand why we sustained（蒙受）losses in busine ss while others always profit” Uncle Li asked one day.“The tractor was too small” Uncle Wang said without thinking. “We’ll carry more apples on a truck next time!”“I agree!” said Uncle Li. “How foolish we were!”6.

The largest and most frightening of all spiders is the bird-eating spider, which lives in the hot, thick rain forests of northern South America.Bird-eating spiders are a type of tarantula（狼蛛）. They are very hairy. Some of these giant spiders can spread eighteen centimeters (seven inches) with their legs. Tarantulas are not, as most people think, poisonous spiders. They can bite, and the bite is painful, but is will not kill a grown-up. The poisonous bite of a black widow spider is far more dangerous.Bird-eating spiders often hide in holes and under rocks during the day, but at night they creep out and hunt for insects. As you might guess from their name, they also catch birds and eat them.They have another unusual ability. They can walk up windowpanes（窗玻璃）because of sticky, silky hairs on their feet that cling to glass.11.
