What food might it contain? He was alarmed to discover that it was a rat trap (捕鼠夹).Going back to the farmyard the rat gave a warning: “There is a rat trap in the house, a rat trap in the house!” The chicken raised her head and said: “Excuse me, Mr Rat, I can tell this is a big concern to you, but it is of no business to me. I cannot be bothered with it.”The rat turned to the pig and told him: “There is a rat trap in the house, a rat trap in the house!” “I am so very sorry, Mr. Rat,” sympathized the pig, “but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. I will make sure that you are in my prayers.”The rat turned to the cow. She said, “Like wow, Mr. Rat. A rat trap. I am in grave danger. Duh?”So the rat returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmers rat trap alone.That very night a sound was heard throughout the house, like the sound of a rat trap catching its prey (猎物). The farmers wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see that it was a poisonous snake whose tail the trap had caught. The snake bit the farmers wife.The farmer rushed her to the hospital. She returned home with a fever. Now everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet (短柄斧) to the farmyard for the soups main ingredient.His wifes sickness continued so that friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them the farmer killed the pig.The farmers wife did not get well. She died, and so many people came for her funeral that the farmer had the cow killed to provide meat for all of them to eat.So the next time you hear that someone is facing a problem and think that it does not concern you, remember that when there is a rat trap in the house, the whole farmyard is at risk.56.

Nancy OkrentCA person steps on what seems like solid ground but discovers with horror that the ground is giving way underfoot. The person struggles desperately but is trapped. There is no escape. Slowly the person sinks deeper and at last is gone. The solid ground was solid only in appearance. It was actually quicksand, which is a deep mass of fine sand mixed with water. How is quicksand formed? Water pushes up from below the surface and is held by the sand. The grains of sand are forced apart by the water. They cannot hold any weight. The subsurface water may have come from a spring, a river, or a stream. Sometimes pools of water near beaches become filled with sand. When the soil under these pools does not allow for good drainage(排水), the sand can become stretches of quicksand. Is it true that a person who steps into quicksand is doomed to die? No, for people have fought their way from quicksand to firm land again. It is panic(恐慌) that creates the condition that can result in death, for the more a person struggles, the worse matters become. Quick movements will make the sand yield for a time, but then it rushes back and settles solidly around the body. People trapped in quicksand should either lie back with arms outstretched, or not move at all. When the weight of the sand around his body has displaced equals that persons weight, the victim will stop sinking. With feet held still, and with slow movements of the arms, as in the backstroke(仰泳) in swimming, people have managed to roll to safety and reach firm ground. 64.Quick movements by a person trapped in quicksand will _. A. help the person reach firm groundB. help prevent panicC. make the same sand yield temporarilyD. make the sand hold the persons weight65.Quicksand is _. A. a mass of fine sand mixed with waterB. formed only along riversC. found below subsurface waterD. solid ground66.Which statement does the article lead you to believe?A. Stretches of quicksand are found only under the sea. B. People should never try to escape from quicksand. C. It is hard to keep calm if you fall into quicksand. D. Only heavy people can be trapped in quicksand. 67.The passage mainly tells about _. A. what solid ground looks likeB. the nature of quicksandC. stepping into quicksandD. escaping from quicksandD The young boy saw me, or, he saw the car and quickly ran up to me, eager to sell his bunches of bananas and bags of peanuts. Though he appeared to be about twelve, he seemed to have already known the bitterness of life. “Banana 300 naira. Peanuts 200 naira.”He said in a low voice. I bargained him down to 200 total for the fruit and nuts. When he agreed, I handed him a 500 naira bill. He didnt have change, so I told him not to worry.He said thanks and smiled a row of perfect teeth.When, two weeks later, I saw the boy again. I was more aware of my position in a society where its not that uncommon to see a little boy who should be in school standing on the corner selling fruit in the burning sun. My parents had raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us. I pulled over and rolled down my window. He had a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts ready. I waved them away. “Whats up?” I asked him. “II dont have money to buy books for school.” I reached into my pocket and handed him two fresh 500 naira bills. “Will this help?” I asked. He looked around nervously before taking the money. One thousand naira was a lot of money to someone whose family probably made about 5,000 naira or less each year. “Thank you, sir,” he said. “Thank you very much.”When driving home, I wondered if my little friend actually used the money for school-books. What if hes a cheat? And then I wondered why I did it. Did I do it to make myself feel better? Was I using him? Later, I realized that I didnt know his name or the least bit about him, nor did I think to ask.Over the next six months, I was busy working in a news agency in Northern Nigeria. Sometime after I returned, I went out for a drive. When I was about to pull over, the boy suddenly appeared by my window with a big smile ready on his
