It was a summer afternoon in the countryside. Wan Bo, a university student, was painting while his classmate Tang Qi was making a wooden box by the river. A little riding on a rocking horse caught their eye by chance. It brought them back to their childhood, warm and happy.

“Why not try to make one by ourselves?” said Wan Bo. “You are good at making things and I am interested in painting.”

“Actions speak louder than words,” Tang Qi said. Then, the two young men began to collect some information about it. During those days, watching videos about caring(雕刻) and shaping wood into horse shapes on the Internet became an important part of their life.

Several months later, a wooden rocking horse appeared. They felt so excited that they put the picture of it on the Internet right away. To their surprise, it attracted lots of people’s attention and some even hoped to order one. The two young men thought it might be a good chance. They sent some forms to the customers to make a survey. According to the result, they made each customer a special rocking horse. These horses were quite different from those produced in other factories, and they soon became popular among the customers.

In the first year of their new hobby, Wan and Tang made thirteen rocking horses. Sometimes, they also repaired rocking horses for people. They made the old ones look new again. Wan and Tang helped those people bring back many happy memories.

Their hobby has now become a successful and busy business.

Long ago, a wolf called Howler lived in a valley where lots of fruit trees grew. He often tried to climb up the trees to eat the fruit, but couldn't reach.

In the valley, an old man named Martin also had a few fruit trees that he looked after very well. But as he was getting older, he noticed that he didn’t have the strength to pick the fruit.

Martin had the most beautiful fruit trees in the valley, which was why Howler had his eye on them. One day he decided to steal the fruit and started jumping up and down the tree.

Martin looked out of the window and realized that the wolf was trying to steal fruit from his beautiful trees. Howler jumped and jumped, but he couldn’t reach even the lowest branches of such a big tree.

Seeing this, Martin had a great idea: he offered Howler a ladder to climb up, but in return the wolf would have to give him half of the fruit. Howler accepted the deal and began to collect the fruit. For the whole morning, he went up and down the ladder filling his basket with the fruit.

Howler soon realized that he could eat all the fruit if he didn’t give Martin some. He thought up a new and secret plan. Martin, on the other hand, trusted Howler and even began to think they would be friends forever.

But the wolf stole the ladder and went off to other trees in the area for more fruit.

Realizing that the ladder was missing, Martin went looking for it. Martin felt very disappointed at the trick and no longer trusted Howler. Though he wasn’t angry with the wolf and they became friends again, he never made any more deals with him.

At last, Howler learned that he shouldn’t trick people and he should keep promises. He also learned that if he had been honest and not greedy, he would still have been able to enjoy more delicious fruit.

1.Which is NOT true about Martin?

A. He had the most beautiful fruit trees in the valley.

B. He was looking for a friend to help him pick the fruit.

2.What was their deal?

A. The wolf would pick all the fruit in the valley with the ladder.

B. Martin would give all his fruit to the wolf if the wolf picked the fruit.

C. The wolf would give all the fruit he picked to Martin.

D. The wolf would give Martin half of the fruit he picked with the ladder.

3.The underlined word “it”(in Paragraph 7) refers to .

A. the fruit B. the big tree C. the basket D. the ladder

4.How did the wolf break the deal?

A. He stole the ladder for more fruit in the area. B. He made a new ladder himself.

C. He ran away because of the hard work. D. He stayed in the trees and ate all the fruit.
