They were determined to find out if she really was a witch.They watched as she took a broomstick to clean the dirt from her stone steps. But，much to their disappointment, she did not mount the broomstick and take flight. Suddenly, the old ladys work was interrupted by the cackling of her hena signal that an egg had been laid in the warm nest on top of the haystack.The old broomstick was put aside as she hobbled off towards the haystack followed by Sooty, a black cat she had rescued from a fox trap some time back. With only three legs, it was hard for Sooty to keep up with the old lady. The cat provided proofthe children were sure that only a witch would own a black cat with three legs.There, standing on a wooden box, was Mrs Tailor, stretching out to gather her precious egg. Taking the egg in one of her hands, she began to climb down when, without warning, the box broke and the old lady fell.“We have to go and help her，” whispered Amy.“What if it is a trick？” replied Ben.“Dont be silly, Ben. If she were a witch, she would have turned us into frogs already，” reasoned Meg. “Come on Amy, lets go.” The girls climbed down the tree and ran all the way to the haystack.Approaching carefully, they could see a wound on the old ladys face. She had knocked her head on a stone and her ankle was definitely broken. “Go and get Dad，” Amy yelled to her brother. “Tell him about the accident.”The boys did not need another excuse to leave. They ran as fast as they could for help, hoping that Mrs Tailor would not wake and turn the girls into frogs.1Why were the children hiding in the tree?A.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.解析：B通读全文可知，孩子们通过亲眼所见，证实了泰勒太太不是女巫的这一事实。由此告诉我们一个道理：不要只看事物的外表，只有通过观察、实践才能认识到事物的本质，故B项表述与之相符。BI hate nosy (爱管闲事的) neighbors and its very unlucky that I had one for myself.They moved in a couple of months back and although I never felt that they were a strange family, Ive always hated the way they get “too close” to me, my house, my garden, and even my garbage cans.One day, my neighbors were mowing their lawn (草坪). My garbage cans were near their lawn. For some strange reason, I found the wife looking through my garbage cans. I felt angry but since they were from a different culture, I thought that maybe it was “normal” from their ideas.That afternoon, the couple knocked on my front door. When I opened, they gave me a plastic bag. Inside were my old daily bills, credit cards and bank statements, and an old birthday card that my old uncle sent me. They said that they were returning them to me because these documents contained very private information that might be used by others.Ive heard it before. I asked them how those documents can be used by others and they started telling me their own experience, which forced them to leave their home and move next door to us.The wife told me that she never destroyed the bills. They also had a “nosy neighbor” who looked through their garbage cans, which they actually thought was pretty strange. Little did they know that this “nosy neighbor” was collecting their personal information from their rubbish. Then all their money was taken out from the bank by their neighbor.It was a very painful experience for all of them and they wanted to leave them all behind so they left. I was very thankful. They were not nosy neighbors. They simply didnt want us to experience the same thing that they did.【文章大意】作者发现邻居在翻自己的垃圾箱，觉得很奇怪，也很讨厌。但是，作者很快转变了看法，因为作者的邻居这样做的目的是保护作者。5What made the author angry?A.
