单选题Once there lived man who owned a very remarkable (奇物的) goose. It was a goose which could lay golden eggs. Every day when the man went into the barnyard (谷仓边场地) he would find a beautiful golden egg. The trouble was that the goose would lay only one egg each day. One day a neighbor spoke to the man who owned the wonderful goose. "Why do not you cut the goose open and get all the gold that is inside the goose? Then you would be a rich man and you would be the envy(羡慕的对象) of all your neighbors. " The man thought this might be a good idea; so he cut the goose open. He killed the goose that laid the golden eggs. What do you suppose he found? He found just what you would find in any ordinary goose if you should cut one open. Now there are no more golden eggs. The man was not satisfied with what he had; so now he has nothing.

单选题Robert Spring, a 19th century forger(伪造者), did well in his job that he was able to make his living for 15 years by selling false signatures of famous Americans. Spring was born in England in 1813 and arrived in Philadelphia in 1858 to open a bookstore. At first he made some money by selling his small but real collection of early US autographs( 亲笔签名). Discovering his ability at copying handwriting, he began to learn the signatures of George Washington and Ben Franklin and writing them on the title pages of old books. To reduce the chance of being discovered, he sent his works to England and Canada for sale. Forgers have a difficult time soiling their products. A forger can't go to a respectable buyer but must deal with people who don't have much knowledge in the field. Forgers have many ways to make their works look real. For example, they buy old books to use the aged paper of the title page, and they treat paper and ink with chemicals. After the Civil War, Britain was still fond of the southern states, so, Spring invented a respectable lady known as Miss Fanny Jackson, the only daughter of General "Stone Wall" Jackson. For several years Miss Fanny's money problems forced her to sell a great number of letters belonging to her famous father. Spring had to work very hard to satisfy the demand. All this activity did not prevent Spring dying in poverty.

单选题Camille and Mike Geraldi are married and live with their children near Miami, Florida in the U.S.A. Mike is a doctor. Camille is a housewife and former nurse. They sound like an average family. In some ways they are, but in many ways they are not. Tile average family in the U.S. has two or three children. The Geraldis have seventeen children. That is not all. Fifteen of these seventeen children are adopted children between the ages of one and nine. Each of the adopted children has a severe physical or mental disability (丧失能力). A day with the Geraldi family is not average. Camille wakes up before dawn. She and three helpers wake, wash, dress, and feed the seventeen children. After breakfast, eleven of the children go to special schools. At 7:30, Camille takes a nap for two hours. When she wakes up at 9:30, she feeds and plays with the children. Camille cooks dinner before Mike comes home from work. Mike cleans up after dinner. Camille is busy even at night. She often wakes up to take care of the children who need her. She almost never has a full night"s sleep. Camille and Mike try to plan time for each other.

Like most families, they laugh and cry together and love each other a lot.
