Once in a small village,a farmer borrowed a large sum of money from a moneylender. The moneylender,old and ugly,liked the farmer's beautiful daughter very much. So he said he would give up the farmer's debt if he could marry his daughter. Both the farmer and his daughter were frightened.
The moneylender told them that he would put a black pebble (鵝卵石) and a white pebble into an empty money bag. Then the girl would have to pick one pebble from the bag. If she picked the black pebble,she would become his wife. If she picked the white pebble she wouldn’t need to marry him and the moneylender would lose both the girl and the money. But if she refused to pick a pebble,her father would be put into prison.
On that day,all the villagers were standing on a pebble path. As they talked,the moneylender picked up two pebbles. After putting them into the bag,he asked the girl to pick a pebble. But the girl noticed that he had picked up two black pebbles and put them into the bag.
Thinking for a moment,the girl put her hand into the money bag and drew out a pebble. Without looking at it'she let it fall onto the pebble path where it immediately became lost among all the other pebbles. The girl said, “Let's look into the bag for the pebble left,and we will be able to tell which pebble it was that I picked. ” All the villagers laughed and the moneylender went away quietly.
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，回答下列問題。

3. The moneylender put two black pebbles into the bag. Did the girl refuse to pick a pebble?

Winter is coming. It's time for the arctic ground squirrel (北極松鼠) to get her underground home ready. Winter is long and cold in northern Canada. Plants can't grow,so there are no leaves or grass for animals to eat. They must find other ways to live. The arctic ground squirrel “sleeps” the winter away.
① For months the ground squirrel has been eating lots of seeds,mushrooms,and berries. Now she is fat. The extra fat will keep her alive through the winter. At last she crawls through a tunnel (隧道) into the nest she has made. She curls up,wraps her tail around herself,and goes to “ sleep. ” Only she won’t really be sleeping. She will be hibernating.
② The ground squirrel's body is usually as warm as yours. When she hibernates,her body becomes colder than ice. But she doesn’t freeze. Her heart beats just one or two times each minute. She will take only about three breaths each minute. These changes in the ground squirrel's body let her live through the winter. When she hibernates,she doesn’t need much food.
③ The ground squirrel will not stay in hibernation all winter. Her body warms up and becomes active for a few hours once every few weeks. Over the winter,these active times use up more than half of the energy that she worked so hard to store. Why does she do this? Scientists aren’t sure. Some think arctic ground squirrels must warm up in case their bodies need to fight off any germs that would make them sick.

Maybe many people in the world can not believe this,but the world's most expensive coffee is pretty terrible. Black Ivory coffee is made from beans which are often eaten and digested (消化) by Thai elephants,and the price of it is at $ 1,100 per kilogram. Isn’t it very funny?
As we all know elephants in Thailand are very good at painting,but we don't know they also make great coffee at all. People can enjoy the rare (稀有 的) Black Ivory at only four resorts (度假村) around the world,and there are three in the Maldives and only one in Thailand. However,people in the special Anantara Resorts come up with an unusual idea of making coffee from elephant-digested beans. Why do they use this way to make the great coffee?
It seems like a very terrible and boring idea,but in fact this idea is correctly right in theory (理論) . According to the research,enzymes (酶類) in the elephant's stomach are able to break down the proteins (蛋白質(zhì)) in the coffee beans,and because proteins are one of the main ingredients of its bitterness (苦 味) ，less protein means less of the bitterness.

Have you ever heard someone use the phrase “once in a blue moon”？People use this expression to describe something that they do not do very often. For example,someone might say that he tries to avoid eating sweets because they are unhealthy,but will eat chocolate “once in a blue moon”. Or someone who does not usually like to go to the beach might say “ I visit the shore once in a blue moon. ” While many people use this phrase,not everyone knows the meaning behind it.
The first thing to know is that the moon itself is never actually blue. This is just an expression. The phrase “blue moon” actually has to do with the shape of the moon,not the color.
As the moon travels around the earth,it appears to change shapes. We associate (聯(lián)系) certain names with certain shapes of the moon. For example,when we can see a small part of the moon,it is called a crescent moon. A crescent is a shape that looks like the tip of a fingernail. When we cannot see the moon at all,it is called a new moon. When we can see the entire moon,it is called a full moon. Usually,there is only one full moon every month. Sometimes,however,there will be two full moons in one month. When this happens,the second full moon is called a “blue moon”.
Over the next 20 years,there will only be 15 blue moons. As you can see,a blue moon is a very rare event. This fact has led people to use the expression “once in a blue moon” to describe other very rare events in their lives.
1. A blue moon will happen in nature .
A. when there are two full moons in one month
B. when the moon has a blue color
C. when we cannot see the moon at all
D. when we can only see a small part of the moon
2. As described in Paragraph 3 ,what is another example of something that has a crescent shape?
A. Your thumb. B. A distant star.
C. The letter “C”. D. The letter “O”.
3. According to the last paragraph,over the next 20 years,how often will a blue moon happen?
A. Once a year.
B. Less than once a year.
C. More than once a year.
D. Not enough information is provided.
4. In the last paragraph the author writes “a blue moon is a very rare event” to .
A. answer an earlier question
B. provide an example
C. support the following conclusion
D. challenge the above statement
5. Which of the following would be a good example of someone doing something “once in a blue moon”？
A. Mary likes to go to the mountains every weekend.
B. Tom seldom remembers to take out the trash.
C. Cindy hates to wash the dishes. However,she does it every day.
D. Ming sometimes forgets to do his homework.
