A mouse looked through a hole in the wall to see a farmer and his wife opening a box. However, he was shocked to find that it was a mousetrap (老鼠夹).
Going out, the mouse shouted to its friends, “There is a mousetrap in the house!”
The chicken thought for a while and said, “I can tell this is a big problem for you, but it is nothing to me.”
The pig said, “I am sorry, but there is nothing I can do about it.”
The cow answered, “I’m sorry for you, but it’s no skin (皮肤) off my nose.”
That very night, they all heard the sound of a mousetrap. In the darkness, the farmer’s wife did not see that it was a snake whose tail (尾巴) was caught in the trap. She reached her hand out for the mousetrap and the snake bit her. She was taken to the hospital and returned home with a fever.
The farmer needed chicken soup to treat (治疗) her fever, so he went out and killed the chicken to make the soup. But she was still sick after eating it, so her friends came to visit her. To feed them, the farmer killed the pig. Sadly, the wife died the next morning. Many people came to her funeral (葬礼), so the farmer killed the cow to provide enough meat for all of them.
Next time, if you hear someone is facing a problem and think it has nothing to do with you, think about it again. When one of us is in danger, we are all at risk because we are all living under the same sky.
20. How did the animals feel after the mouse told them about the mousetrap
A. They were worried. B. They were excited.
C. They didn’t care. D. They thought it was funny.
21. The mousetrap caught ______ that night.
A. the mouse B. the snake C. the chicken D. the pig
22. What happened to the wife that night
A. She died of a fever. B. Her hand was caught in the trap.
C. She was bitten by the snake. D. She fell over because of the trap.
23. Who might live through to the end
A. The mouse. B. The wife. C. The cow. D. The pig.
24. What does the story teach us
A. Don’t hurt any animals, including mice and snakes. B. One person’s troubles can affect (影响) many others.
C. A friend in need is a friend indeed. D. Bad luck can happen to anyone.
C
When you finish some chores at home, will your parents give you a reward (奖励) It is common for parents to do that. But some people do not think it is a good idea.
One of them is Susie Walton, an education expert. She believes if kids get rewards, they will think that housework is not worth (值得) doing unless they get something in return. Kids won’t sweep the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will if their parents reward them for it. Walton also said, “A home is a living place for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all should play our part in keeping our home clean.”
Other people don’t think so. They believe that rewards encourage (鼓励) kids to do more chores. Rewarding also teaches them real-world lessons. They can learn that we need to work to make money. Now, there are also mobile phone apps like ChoreMonster. With the app, kids get points after doing chores. After getting some points, they can do something they like. For example, parents will allow them to play video games for half an hour if they get 80 points.
So each side seems to have their own reasons. Whether you give children rewards depends on your own ideas. Maybe you have better ways to solve this problem.
25. Which of the following is Susie Walton’s opinion
A. Don’t ask kids to do housework. B. Don’t give kids rewards for doing chores.
C. Don’t allow kids to play computer games. D. Don’t let children play a part in doing chores.
26 How many reasons does Susie Walton give in the second paragraph
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
27. What do people want to teach kids by giving kids rewards for doing chores
A. People need to work to make money.
B. Doing chores is a good way to make money.
C. They can only be allowed to watch TV by doing chores.
D. They must share housework because they live in the same house.
28. Where can we find the topic (话题) in the passage
A. In the first paragraph. B. In the second paragraph. C. In the third paragraph. D. In the last paragraph.
29. Which idea may the writer agree with
A. Parents should give rewards to let their kids do chores.
B. Kids should offer to help with chores at home.
C. Apps are better choices for parents than money.
D. We don’t know what the best way to get kids helping is.

One day, he saw that his neighbor had candles, but the light couldn’t come into his house. Then he got an idea. He made a small hole in the wall. In this way, he could use the light from his neighbor’s house to read books every night.

Teenagers often face significant stress during growth, mainly from academic pressure and interpersonal issues. Heavy schoolwork, exam worries, and difficulties in getting along with classmates or family can make them anxious.
To relieve stress, making a study plan helps organize tasks efficiently. Don’t hesitate to ask teachers for guidance when stuck. Also, communicate more—sharing feelings with friends or family eases the burden. Being friendly to others builds better relationships.
Proper stress can be a motivator. By handling it wisely, teenagers can turn challenges into steps for growth.
