11、并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 AThere was a rich merchant who had 4 wives. He loved the 4th wife the most and adorned her with rich robes and treated her to delicacies. He took great care of her and gave her nothing but the best. He also loved the 3rd wife very much. Hes very proud of her and always wanted to show he
12、r off to his friends. However, the merchant is always in great fear that she might run away with some other men. He too, loved his 2nd wife. She is a very considerate person, always patient and in fact is the merchants confidante. When the merchant faced some problems, he always turned to his 2nd wi
13、fe and she would always help him out and tide him through difficult times. Now, the merchants 1st wife is a very loyal partner and has made great contributions in maintaining his wealth and business as well as taking care of the household. However, the merchant did not love the first wife and althou
14、gh she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice of her. One day, the merchant fell ill. Before long, he knew that he was going to die soon. He thought of his luxurious life and told himself, “Now I have 4 wives with me. But when I die, Ill be alone. How lonely Ill be!” Thus, he asked the 4th wife, “I
15、 loved you most, endowed you with the finest clothing and showered great care over you. Now that Im dying, will you follow me and keep me company?” “No way!” replied the 4th wife and she turned away without another word. The answer cut like a sharp knife right into the merchants heart. The sad merch
16、ant then asked the 3rd wife, “I have loved you so much for all my life. Now that Im dying, will you follow me and keep me company?”“No!” replied the 3rd wife. “Life is so good over here! Im going to remarry when you die!” The merchants heart sank and turned cold. He then asked the 2nd wife, “Ive alw
17、ays turned to you for help and youve always helped me out. Now I need your help again. When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?” “Im sorry, I cant help you out this time!” replied the 2nd wife. “At the very most, I can only send you to your grave.” The answer came like a bolt of thunder a
18、nd the merchant was devastated. Then a voice called out: “Ill leave with you. Ill follow you no matter where you go.” The merchant looked up and there was his first wife. She was so skinny, almost like she suffered from malnutrition. Greatly grieved, the merchant said, “I should have taken much bett
19、er care of you while I could have!” Actually, we all have 4 wives in our lives.The 4th wife is our body. No matter how much time and effort we lavish in making it look good, itll leave us when we die. Our 3rd wife is our possessions, status and wealth. When we die, they all go to others. The 2nd wif
20、e is our family and friends. No matter how close they had been there for us when were alive, the furthest they can stay by us is up to the grave. The 1st wife is in fact our soul, often neglected in our pursuit of material, wealth and sensual pleasure. Guess what? It is actually the only thing that
21、follows us wherever we go. Perhaps its a good idea to cultivate and strengthen it now rather than to wait until were on our deathbed to lament. 21. Which wife did the merchant love most? A. The 1st wife. B. The 2nd wife. C. The 3rd wife. D. The 4th wife.22. What does the underlined word in paragraph

23、e a guess, you probably celebrate New Years Day surrounded by family and friends, enjoying drinks of your choice (probably wine and champagne) and watching the ball drop.

24、d how New Years Day would look in another country? Listed below are five of the top ten “Unique New Year Traditions from Around the World.”1. Breaking Dishes on Neighbors DoorDenmarkA strange and weird Danish New Year tradition, depending on how you look at it, is throwing dishes at neighbors door.

Talking to SpiritsMexicoTalking to spirits is a part o
26、f Mexican belief. Mexicans strongly believe that they can communicate with the souls of their dead loved ones. New Years Eve is considered the best time to communicate with dead spirits to convey a message or ask for guidance. And this is not done at home on an individual basis but is a legal Mexica
27、n practice. Taos Inn, in New Mexico for example, offers 15 minutes session of spiritualism and meditation for $15. Not a bad price for some helpful guidance!3. Wearing Polka Dots PhilippinesImagine streets full of people wearing polka dots and dining room tables full of round shaped food and fruits
28、on one single day of the year. This all actually happens in the Philippines on New Years Eve every year.

31、f their lives. They place mistletoe leaves under their pillow hoping to catch their future husband.
