kinds of comments (评价) about his flying. They flew on and on till they couldn’t see the land and there was nothing
but water on all sides. The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was now so tired that he found it hard
to stay in the air, and had to try to keep himself from falling into the water.
The swan said, “Why do you keep touching the water, brother? Is that another trick? “
“No,” said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition. “I’m in trouble because of my pride (骄傲) ! If you

DMorgiana, remembering Ali Baba’s orders, got his bathing linen (亚麻布澡巾) ready, and ordered Abdalla to set
on the pot for the meat soup; but while she was preparing it the lamp went out, and there was no more oil in the house,
nor any candles. What to do she did not know, for the meat soup must be made. Abdalla, seeing her very uneasy, said,
“Don’t be worried, but go into the yard, and take some oil out of one of the jars.”
Morgiana thanked Abdalla for his advice, took the oil-pot, and went into the yard; when she came near the first
of all the thirty-eight jars, the robber within (里面的强盗) said softly, “Is it time?”
Though much surprised at finding a man in the jar instead of the oil she wanted, she immediately (立即) felt the
importance of keeping silence, feeling sure that Ali Baba, his family, and herself were in great danger. Collecting
herself, without showing the least emotion (情感), she answered in a very low voice, “Not yet, but soon.” She went
quietly in this manner to all the jars, giving the same answer, till she came to the last jar which was filled with oil.
By this means Morgiana found that her master Ali Baba had let tens of robbers into his house, and that the
pretended oil merchant (冒牌的油商) was their captain. She filled her oil-pot quickly, and returned into her kitchen,
where as soon as she had lighted her lamp, she took a great kettle (壶), went again to the oil-jar, filled the kettle, set
it on a large wood fire and as soon as it boiled (煮沸), went and poured enough of the boiling oil into every jar with
a robber in to kill the robber within.
32．Why did Abdalla advise Morgiana to take some oil out of one of the jars?
A．Because Morgiana was a very kind and smart girl.
B．Because they knew that there were bad people in the jars.
C．Because they could use others’ oil without paying any money.
D．Because there was no more oil or candles in the house and it was too dark to cook the soup.
33．What do the underlined words “Collecting herself” in paragraph 3 mean?
A．使她把自己搜集起来 B．使她自己魂不守舍
C．使她自己镇定下来 D．使她自己三魂七魄出窍
34．How many bad men did Ali Baba let in?
A．Thirty-seven. B．Thirty-eight. C．Thirty-nine. D．Forty.
35．Who was the smartest person and saved all of Ali Baba’s whole family?
A．Ali Baba. B．Abdalla.
C．Morgiana. D．The pretended oil merchant.

In a village lived a young and successful businessman, named James. But he often felt unhappy because of the
endless challenges he faced.
36 James went to see him and said, “I always have business worries, family troubles and health
problems. Please tell me how to make them disappear.” The old man smiled and said, “I’ll give you an answer
tomorrow morning. 37 ” James answered, “sure, I can.” The old man asked him to take care of the 100
camels (骆驼) for the night, making sure that they all sat down and rested before James could go to sleep.
38 James answered sadly, “I didn’t sleep at all. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get all the
camels to sit together. Even if I managed to get some camels to sit on one side, a few others would stand on the other side.”
“That’s true. Some camels sat down quietly. 39 If you came back later, you would see some of the
camels finally sit down, even though they didn’t sit at first,” the old man said. “Problems are just like camels — some
problems get solved by themselves, some get solved after your effort, and some don’t get solved even after you have
tried your best. Leave such problems to time. 40 ”
