He opened the door of the cage. The tiger jumped out. “How silly you are,” the tiger laughed. “Now I am going to eat you.” “Wait!” the man cried. “You ought not to eat me. Let us ask others what they think.” “You may ask three others. ” the tiger said.The good man asked a tree. The tree said, “I give shade (树荫). And yet I am cut down. Let the tiger eat you.”Next, the good man asked a bird. The bird said, “I hurt no one. Yet people hunt and kill me. Let the tiger eat you.”The last one that the good man asked was a road. The road said, “I dont care if the tiger eats you. People could not get along too well without me. Yet all day and all night people step on me without even a thank you.”The tiger was ready to eat the good man. Just then a dog came by. “What is happening?” asked the dog. The man told the dog the whole story.“I dont understand,” said the dog. “The tiger wants to eat you because you put him in a cage?”“No, no,” said the man. “Some other men put him in a cage.”“Oh,” the dog said. “He is going to eat you because you do not have a cage.”“Silly dog!” the tiger cried. “Dont you understand? I was in the cage. This man let me out.”“Oh, I see,” the dog said. “When the man was in the cage, you let him out.”“I was in the cage!” the tiger cried. “In this way!” with that, he jumped back into the cage.At once, the dog closed the door of the cage. “Oh,” the dog laughed. “At last I understand!”The good man and the dog walked off.

After she left school, her first job was to take care of the children of a rich family in Belgium(比利时). The language they spoke was French, so she found that her school studies were useful.

Many things happen because something caused or influenced them to happen. Sometimes it is hard to look at a cause and find out what caused or influenced them to happen. Sometimes it is hard to look at a cause and find out what causes the effect. It may help you to start with the effect and use your reasoning(推理的) skills. Think about all the things you know that could be reasons for the effect you can see. For example, you may see someone putting on a heavy jacket. This is the effect. To look for a cause, think to yourself, “What would take someone put on a heavy jacket?” Maybe the person is going outside into very cold weather. Maybe the person works in the penguin pen(企鹅圈养地) at Sea World. Maybe the person is going to visit an ice skating rink where the air is kept very cold. All of these things could be a cause for putting on a heavy jacket.Now, think about a second example. The effect is a boy named Abi has to go to the head teachers office. What are the possible causes? Maybe he bullied(欺负) another student. Maybe he is just being picked up early. Maybe he is being given a prize! Here is another example for you to think about its cause and effect. Cait, 13, was trying to fall asleep when her 8-year-old brother, Doug, came into her room. He looked around a bit, but seemed really out of it. Then Doug went back into the hallway and stood there looking straight up at the hall light for quite a while. Little brothers can be very strange, but this was really much too strange. Caits father appeared and explained that Doug was sleepwalking. Whats the cause end effect, could you tell?( )41.According to the second paragraph, which of the following is an effect? A. Someone puts on a heavy jacket. B. Someone works in the penguin pen. C.

My classmates often 46 at me. I was sad 47 could do nothing. Later, something happened, and it changed my life. It was an English speech contest. My mother asked me to take part in it. What a terrible idea! It meant I had to speak in front of all the teachers and students of my school!“Come on, boy. Believe in yourself.
