- Passage 2 -

Building a house is an operation which costs quite a lot of money. Suppose you plan to b 1 a house， your first step is to find a suitable piece of l 2 . You will probably try to find a sunny place， in a p 3 situation， near stores and bus stops， not too far from your friends and the place where you work.

Next you will find an e 4 builder. And together with the builder you will make a p 5 . The builder will draw it. The builder will also w 6 out the cost of your house. He will estimate （估计） the cost of the wood， the glass， and everything else that he must use in building the house. Later on， when he starts to build， this estimate must be corrected， because the prices may c 7 ， and many other things may h 8 between the time when he makes the estimate and the time when he builds the house.

W 9 the builder gives you his estimate， you may wish to change your plan. You may find that some of the things you wanted at first cost too much， or that you can s 10 a little more and add something to your original plan.

- Passage 3 -

Climbing a mountain is hard work. But one step after another finally brings a person to the t 1 . Along the way， he can stop and look a 2 . And the h 3 he climbs， the more wonderful his view （视野） is. If he keeps climbing， he will have a new world before him. He will have a new way of s 4 everything.

Now learning a 5 language is something like climbing a mountain. This new language can give you a new view of life. And it is more than a look at the surface （表面） of things. It can open the way into peoples minds and hearts， into a culture （文化） very d 6 from the one of your own. This will make you richer， r 7 in things that money cant buy. Even though you never set foot on a ship or a plane， you can be an armchair t 8 through books.

Like the mountain climber who stops now and then to e 9 the scenery around him， everyone who is interested in reading will find p 10 in books as he fights on to learn more and more of that new language.

- Passage 4 -

A man tried to catch monkeys to sell them to zoos. The monkeys， however， were very c 1 and every kind of trap （计谋） that he set failed.

A young boy watched the mans efforts and then took a pot with a narrow （狭窄的） neck. He placed a few peanuts around the pot and put lots of peanuts i 2 it. He then tied the pot to a tree and he told the man， “We should have a m 3 in a few hours.”

Some monkeys soon discovered the peanuts and the pot. One put his hand into the pot e 4 and got a handful of peanuts， but he couldnt p 5 his hand with peanuts out of the narrow opening of the pot. The monkey was a 6 and began to cry. Some of the other monkeys tried unsuccessfully to pull the pot off his hand.

The boy and the man heard the noise. As the boy came near to the monkeys with a bag， the monkeys all ran away e 7 the one with its hand in the pot. The boy packed the monkey and the pot into the bag. The man was s 8 and asked the boy the secret of his monkey trap. “Why was it so easy for the monkey to get his hand in but so h 9 to get it out？”

The boy laughed and said，“The monkey could get his hand back out if he let go of the peanuts in the pot， but he just wasnt w 10 to let go. They never are.
