(30个单词左右) ___________________________ ______________________________________ 课文阅读： The Peasant and the Devil Once upon a time there was a far-sighted, crafty peasant. He once got hold of the devil, and made a fool of him. The peasant had one day been working in his field. When he was making ready for the journey home, he saw a heap of burning coals in the middle of his field. Full of astonishment, he went up to it. A little black devil was sitting on the live coals. “Are you sitting upon a treasure?” said the peasant. “Yes, in truth,” replied the devil, “on a treasure which contains more gold and silver than you have ever seen in your life.” “The treasure lies in my field and belongs to me,” said the peasant. “It is yours,” answered the devil, “if you will for two years give me one half of everything your field produces.” The peasant agreed to the bargain. “In order, however, that no dispute may arise about the division,” said he, “everything that is above ground shall belong to you, and what is under the earth to me.” The devil was quite satisfied with that, but the cunning peasant had sown turnips. Now when the time for harvest came, the devil appeared and wanted to take away his crop. But he found nothing but the yellow withered leaves. While the peasant, full of delight, was digging up his turnips. “You have had the best of it for once,” said the devil, “but the next time that won’t do. What grows above ground shall be yours, and what is under it, mine.” “I am willing,” replied the peasant. But when the time came to sow, he did not again sow turnips, but wheat. The grain became ripe, and the peasant went into the field and cut the full stalks down to the ground. When the devil came, he found nothing but the stubble, and went away in a fury down into a cleft in the rocks. “That is the way to cheat the devil.” Said the peasant. And he went and fetched away the treasure. 【试题答案】 I. 1. taxi driver2. classroom3. football team4. introduce5. business man II. 1. pretty well2. See you3. your mother’s job4.
