A rich and kind baker(面包师) sent some bread to twenty of the poorest children. He said to them, “In this basket, there is some bread for you. Each of you can have one loaf(一条面包) every day until the hard days end.”The impatient children couldn't wait to gather around the basket. They shouted and fought for the bread because each wished to have the largest loaf. At last they went away without even thanking the good gentleman. But Shirley, a poorly­dressed little girl, did not join them. Instead, she remained standing modestly in the distance. When the other children left, she took the smallest loaf left in the basket, kissed the gentleman's hand and went home.The next day the children were as rude as before. Poor shy Shirley still took the smallest loaf. When she got home, her mother cut the bread open. Many new shining pieces of silver fell out of it. Her mother was very surprised and said, “Take the money back to the good gentleman at once, for it must h ave got into the loaf by accident. Be quick, Shirley! Be quick！”But when the little girl gave the rich man her mother's message, he said, “No, no, my child. It was no mistake. I put silver into the smallest loaf to reward you because you are a kind and honest girl. Go home, and the money is yours now.”( )11.From the story, we know the twenty children lived a ________ life.A．happy B．poor C．rich( )12.The rich baker gave ________ to the children.A．some bananas B．some books C．some bread( )13.When the other children shouted and fought for the bread, Shirley ________．A．stood modestly in the distanceB．shouted at themC．joined them( )14.Shirley's mother let her ________ when she saw the money.A．buy some food B．hide it quickly C．give it back to the rich man( )15.The story tells us that ________．A．it's not important to say thanks to othersB．fighting with others can help us get moreC．a kind and honest person will be rewardedⅢ.英汉互译James got home from school. “Hi, Dad，” James said as he walked into the kitchen. “Why do you look sad？” Dad asked. “16.I_didn't_win_the_race_in_the_P．E._class_today，” he answered.“Son, you can't always win，” Dad replied and gave James a cup of juice. “You're still a great runner.

He ruled the island of Crete. And he also had a terrible monster(怪兽) called the Minotaur. The Minotaur lived at the center of a very large maze(迷宫). It had the body of a man but the head of a bull.Minos was a cruel king. Whenever he was bored, he would attack(进攻) a nearby island called Athens. In order to get peace, King Aegeus of Athens made a deal with King Minos. If Minos didn't attack Athens, he would send seven boys and seven girls to Crete every nine years to be eaten by the Minotaur.It was time again to send the children to Crete. Theseus, the son of King Aegeus, could not stand this situation, and decided to go as the seventh boy and kill the Minotaur. He promised his father that if he was successful, he would use white sails(船帆) instead of the black ones to show he was alive.When arriving in Crete, Theseus met King Minos' daughter called Ariadne. She fell in love with him and wanted to help him. So when the children were sent to the Minotaur, Ariadne gave Theseus a ball of string(细绳) and a knife. Theseus left a line of string behind him when he entered the maze. After he killed the monster, he followed the string and got out of the maze. Ariadne was waiting outside. They quickly ran away together before Minos could catch them.However, on the journey home, Theseus was so full of joy that he forgot to change the color of the sails. As soon as King Aegeus saw the black sails, he was so upset and jumped into the sea. Since then, that sea has been called the Aegean Sea in memory of King Aegeus.21．Who had the Minotaur, King Aegeus or King Minos?。
