【題目】閱讀短文, 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問題。
Once upon a time there was a writer who liked to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. One day he was walking along the beach. As he looked down the beach, he saw someone moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance to the day. So he began to walk faster to catch up. As he got closer, he saw that a young man was reaching down to the shore, picking something up and very gently throwing it into the ocean.
As he got closer, he called out, "Good morning! What are you doing?"
The young man stopped, looked up and answered, "Throwing starfish into the ocean."
"I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?"
"The sun is up, and the tide(潮汐) is going out, and if I don't throw them in, they'll die."
"But, young man, don't you see that there are miles and miles of beach, and starfish all along it? You can't possibly make a difference!"
The young man listened politely, then picked up another starfish and threw it into the ocean, past the breaking waves and said, "It made a difference for that one." And he kept throwing starfish.
There is something very special in each and every one of us. All of us can make a difference in life. If we know that, we have the power to shape the future.

【題目】It was a village in India. The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers (祖先) had lived in the same way for centuries.

Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frogs’ legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.

This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was to catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent to the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future. But the dream didn’t last long.

The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if (好像) the crops(莊稼) were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and there seemed to be more insects around lately.

The villagers decided that they couldn’t just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money they’d just had to buy pesticides (殺蟲劑) and medicine. Soon there was no money left.

Then the people realized that what was happening. It was the frogs. They hadn’t been useless. They had been doing an important job—eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, soon there were more and more insects. They were doing harm to both crops and people.

Now, the people are still poor. But in the evening they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of night now have a much deeper meaning.

【1】Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs?

A. They needed money to buy medicine.

B. They wanted to please the visitors.

C. The frogs were easy money.

D. The frogs made too much noise.

【2】What might be the cause of the children’s sickness?

A. The crops didn’t do well.

B. There were too many insects.

C. The visitors brought in disease.

D. The pesticides were overused.

【3】What can we learn from the last sentence of the passage?

A. Good old days will never be forgotten.

B. Health is more important than money.

C. The harmony between man and nature is important.

D. Happiness comes from peaceful life in the country.
