Once there was a child ready to be born. So he asked God, “They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?”
God replied, “Among the many angels, I chose one for you. She will take care of you.” But the child wasn’t sure he really wanted to go. “But here I don’t do anything else but sing and smile, that’s enough for me to be happy.”
“Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day. And you will feel your angel’s love and be happy.”
“And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me, ”the child continued,”if I don’t know the language that men talk? ”
God patted (輕怕)him on the head and said, “Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear.Your angel will teach you how to speak. ”

“I’ve heard that on earth there are bad men,who will protect me? ”
“Your angel will defend(保衛(wèi))you even if it means risking her life! ”
“But I will always be sad because I will not see you any more, ”the child continued warily.

At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth could already be heard. The child knew he had to start on his journey very soon. He asked God one more question, softly, “God, please tell me my angel’s name.”

Long, long ago a man went to India and he had never been there before. When he got there, he saw a lot of fruit, but much of it was expensive because they couldn’t grow much because there was little water. Finally he saw a big basket of some very red and long fruit. And it was the cheapest in the shop.
So he went up and asked, “How much each kilo?” and the shop keeper said, “Two rupees(盧比).”Two rupees in India was nothing. So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and started eating it. But after he ate some of it: oh, my god! His eyes watered, his mouth watered and burnt, and his face became red. He jumped up and down, saying, “Ah! Ah! Ah!”
But he still continued to eat the fruit! Some people who were looking at him shook their heads and said, “You’re crazy, man. Those are chilies(辣椒)!You can’t eat so many! People use them as a condiment, but only a little bit to put into food for taste. You can’t just eat them like that.” But the silly man said, “No, I can’t stop! I paid money for them, and now I’ll eat them up. It’s my money!”
And you think that man was silly, right? We sometimes do a lot of things like that. We spend money, time or effort doing something. And even though it’s been a long time, hard experience tells us it won’t work, and we know there’s no more hope, we still continue just because we’ve put money, time, effort and love in to it. Just like the man who ate the chilies and felt so bad but couldn’t stop because he didn’t want to waste the money he’d paid.
　 So even if you’ve lost something, let it go and move on. That’s better than continuing to lose.
小題1:The man chose to buy the red and long fruit only because   .
A．he hadn’t eaten it beforeB．he was hungry
C．it was cheapD．he hadn’t seen it before
小題2:The underlined word “condiment” in Paragraph3 probably means_______.
A．零食B．水果C．調(diào)料D．蔬菜
小題3:Which of the following sentence is TRUE?
A．The man went to India to buy fruit.
B．The man didn’t want to waste money.
C．The man bought the fruit because it was expensive.
D．India can grow a lot of fruit.
小題4:From the passage, we can learn that_________.
A．we shouldn’t waste money
B．we shouldn’t eat chilies
C．we shouldn’t buy something cheap
D．letting something go is better than keeping on losing
