It was a village in India.The people were poor.However,they were not unhappy.After all,their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.
Then one day,some visitors from the city arrived.They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog’s legs.However,they did not have enough frogs of their own,and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.
This seemed like money for nothing.There were millions of frogs in the fields around,and they were no use to the villagers.All they had to do was catch them.Agreement was reached,and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs.Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money.For the first time,the people were able to dream of a better future.But the dream didn’t last long.
The change was hardly noticed at first,but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well.More worrying was that the children fell ill more often,and,there seemed to be more insects around lately.
The villagers decided that they couldn’t just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak.They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides(杀虫剂) and medicines.Soon there was no money left.
Then the people realised what was happening.It was the frog.They hadn’t been useless.They had been doing an important job—eating insects.Now with so many frogs killed,the insects were increasing more rapidly.They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.
Now,the people are still poor.But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs.These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.
1.From Paragraph 1 we learn that the villagers . A.worked very hard for centuries B.dreamed of having a better life C.were poor but somewhat content D.lived a different life from their forefathers
提示:根据第一段中“The people were poor.However,they were not unhappy.”可知:村民过着贫穷但是幸福的生活。“not unhappy”双重否定表示肯定。故本题选C项。
答案:C
2.Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs? A.The frogs were easy money. B.They needed money to buy medicine. C.They wanted to please the visitors. D.The frogs made too much noise.
提示:根据第三段中“This seemed like money for nothing.”可知:这看起来像不需要付出什么就可以得到钱。再由第三段倒数第二句可知本题答案为A项。
答案:A
3.What might be the cause of the children’s sickness? A.The crops didn’t do well. B.There were too many insects. C.The visitors brought in diseases. D.The pesticides were overused.
提示:由倒数第二段中“They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.”可知:虫子损害庄稼并且传播疾病。“They”指上句中的“insects”故答案为B项。
答案:B
4.What can we infer from the last sentence of the text? A.Happiness comes from peaceful life in the country. B.Health is more important than money.
