“You have saved my horse,” Queen Olivia told the young boy standing before her. “Now you shall get a gift for what you did.” Peter nervously ran his fingers through his brown hair. That day when he was working in the field, the shocked horse ran past him. Without thinking, he rushed out and controlled it. He didn’t know it was the Queen’s horse and never expected to get a gift. But he still felt happy for getting one.

Two of the queen’s men appeared. One carried a mirror. Red jewels(珠寶) shone on top of the mirror’s silver frame(框架). The other carried a wooden cage with a chicken inside it.

“Only one gift can be yours,” the queen said. “Choose wisely.” “That’s easy,” Peter said. “I’ll take the chicken.” Some of the queen’s men laughed. It was clear that they thought he had made a foolish choice. 

“And why did you choose the chicken?” the queen asked. “Well, I don’t know much about jewels,” Peter answered. “But I do know about chickens. The chicken will provide eggs for my family for a long while.”

Queen Olivia smiled. “Then you did make a wise choice,” she said. “That mirror may look beautiful. But the jewels you see are only colored glass, and the frame is painted silver. The chicken is much more valuable.” Peter took the chicken and bowed. “Thank you, your majesty.”

“You are a smart child,” the queen added. “I could use a smart boy to help take care of my horses. Would you like to take the job?” Peter smiled. “Thank you very much!” he said excitedly. A job at the castle paid well. Now his family wouldn’t worry about their food any more--all because he was kind to help others and smart enough to make the right choice!

科目：初中英語 來源：2018年山東省東營市中考英語試卷 題型：多任務(wù)混合問題

閱讀短文，根據(jù)要求完成下面各小題。

Last month some parents visited a pizza restaurant in Florida with their children. On the door, they saw a sign “NO CHILDREN.” “Why can't we bring our children?” “What on earth does the owner want to do?” The parents were surprised and complained angrily.

So why did the restaurant put up the sign on its door?

Troy Taylor, the owner of the pizza restaurant, found that many parents couldn't control their children and many children couldn't have meals quietly, so they disturbed other customers. Some people said that this was unfair. Mr. Taylor explained his decision . He said that the restaurant was near a busy road, so there might be some danger if the parents didn’t take good care of their children. So he made up his mind to ban(禁止)children from his restaurant.

Others supported his decision, they said they were bored of noisy children in restaurants and

now they could finally have a place for adults only.

83 In fact，many other restaurants have also met the same problem. Some have done nothing and others have tried to ban children during certain times of the day. There’s one restaurant in Italy. It has been creative in dealing with the problem. They rewarded(獎勵) well-behaved children to encourage parents to control their children.

84These methods may be useful for a while, but it is difficult to solve this problem completely.

A. 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容簡要回答問題。

1.Why does Mr. Taylor ban the children from his restaurant?

__________________________________________________________________________

2.There are four methods to solve the problem in this passage. Which do you think is the best one? Why?
