But after a little practice he found that he was becoming very skilled and soon he was making some of the finest tacks.Old Mr. Smith died and the son on account of the war lost all his goods. He had to leave home and wasforced to live in another country. It so happened that in this village there were many shoemakers who were spending a lot of money buying tacks for their shoes and even at times when they paid high prices they were not always able to get what they wanted, because in that part of the country there was a high demand for soldiers’ shoes.Our young Mr. Smith, who was finding it difficult to earn his daily bread, remembered that once upon a time he had learned the art of making tacks and had the sudden idea of making a bargain with the shoemakers. He told them that he would make the tacks if they would help to get him settled in the workshop. The shoemakers were only too glad of the offer.

Then, some people learned to grow crops and raise animals for food. They were the first farmers.From the sixteenth century on, the word “farm” has meant agricultural land. But a much older meaning of the word “farm” is linked to economics. The word “farm” comes from the Latin word “firma”, which means an unchanging payment. E xperts say the earliest meaning of the English word “farm” was a yearly payment made as a tax or rent.Farmers in early England did not own their land. They paid every year to use agricultural lands. In England, farmers used hawthorn trees along the edges of houses. They called this row of hawthorns a hedge. Hedging fields was how careful farmers marked and protected them. Soon, people began to use the word “hedging” to describe steps that could be taken to protect against financial loss. Hedging is common among gamblers who make large bets. A gambler bets a lot of money on one team. But, to be on the safe side, he also places a smaller bet on the other team, to reduce a possible loss.You might say that someone is hedging his bet when he invests in several different kinds of business. One business may fail, but likely not all. Farmers know that it is necessary to make hay while the sun shines. Hay has to be cut and gathered when it is dry. So a wise farmer never postpones gathering his hay when the sun is shining. Rain may soon appear. A wise person copies the farmer. He works when conditions are right.1.We can know from the 3rd paragraph that farmers in early England _________.A. had land of their ownB. paid to use hawthorn trees every yearC. used hedging fieldsD. often suffered from financial loss2.Which of the following is wise?A. A mother tries to sleep as soon as her baby is quietB. Hay has to be cut and gathered before it is dryC. Put off gathering hay when the sun is shiningD. Gather hay as it is rainy3.If a boy is carefully listening to his teacher in class, he learns to _________.A. become a wise farmerB. hedge his betC. gather his hayD. make hay while the sun shines答案:CAD6My grandfather is eighty years old. He always complains about how fast things have changed, and he often says that life used to be better."Families aren't what they used to be. A lot of families have broken up. If the husband and wife have problems with their marriage, they no longer stay together. And mothers used to stay at home and take care of their children, but now parents are both busy working. No one has time to look after children at home.And the cars! No one walks anymore. More and more people drive. We used to walk five miles to school on school days, even in winter. But now we don't. And in school, children don't have to think anymore. In math class, for example, we used to add, subtract, multiply and divide by using our heads. But now kids don't use their heads anymore. Instead, they use calculators.Most families have computers now. In the past we didn't have computers. We didn't even have lights. My mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. But now we don't often eat home-cooked food.And people talk less to each other than before. They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too busy to think...Life used to be simple, but it isn't anymore."1. What does the grandfather think of the life now?A. It's as good as it used to beB. It's worse than it used to beC. It's better than it used to beD. It's the same as it used to be2. What does the underlined word "marriage" mean in Chinese?A. 生活B. 工作C. 婚姻D. 家庭3.

What changes have happened?①There are lights at home②People often eat home-cooked food now③Lots of families have computers④More and more people drive instead of walkingA. ①②④B. ②③④C. ①②③D. ①③④5.
