单选题One day in early March, Pauline and Tom Nichter and their 11-year-old son Jason, were shopping for a toy in Buena Park. Suddenly, Pauline saw a wallet lying on the floor. When she looked inside, she found $200. The family, homeless and without work, knew that could change their lives. But they took the wallet to the nearby police station and turned it in. The wallet was found to have some other pockets, and more money in--over ＄2,000! The police called the man who lost the wallet to pick it up. The man thanked the Nichters and shook their hands, but did not reward (奖赏) them. Luckily for the family, a TV news reporter filmed the story. People from all over the world heard the story and sent them letters, money and even jobs. A businessman even let them live in his house for free for six months. So far, the family has received over 1,000,000. Now the Nichters' future is bright.

单选题Once there was an old farmer, with a horse which was almost as old as himself. He set out one morning with his son to sell the horse before it died. Father and son walked, because the farmer did not want the horse to be too tired. They met two men on the road. The two men said, "Why are you walking, farmer? You have a horse. It's a long way to the market." The farmer knew that was true, so he rode on the horse, while his son walked. Then they met two ladies. "What are you doing up there, farmer? Can't you see how tired your boy is?" So the farmer got down, and his son rode instead. Next, three old men stopped them. One of them said, "Why are you walking, farmer? Get up. It's too hot for an old man like you to walk today." So the farmer got up behind his son on the horse, and they rode on. Some time later, they saw a young woman. "Why aren't you walking?" she asked. "It isn't far to the market. Give your poor old horse a rest." So the farmer and son got down once again.

单选题The little boy was unhappy because he had a long name--Bradford Underwood Timothy Charles Hoppenpop-per. He wanted to leave out some of his name, but he couldn't, because there were names of his great grandfather's (曾祖父的), grandfather's, father's and even mother's in his name. An old man was so wise, he could read the thoughts of the unhappy boy, "Let me help you, my boy," said the old man. "Put down on a piece of paper the first letters of all your names, and you will have a new name." The boy ran all the way home and did so at once. Then he got a new name, as short as other boys'. He smiled a big smile.
