四、阅读理解
Once there was a famine(饥荒). A rich cook sent for twenty of the poorest children in the town and said to them, “In this basket there is a piece of bread for each of you. Take it and come back to me every day at this hour for more.”
In a hurry, the hungry children got together around the basket, and fought over the bread because each wanted the largest piece. At last they went away without even thanking the good cook. Mary, a poorly-dressed girl, did not fight with the other children, but stood quietly in the distance. When the badly-behaved children had left, Mary took the smallest piece, which was all left in the basket. She kissed the cook’s hand and went home.
The next day, the children were as badly-behaved as before. Mary got a piece of bread almost half the size of the one she got on the first day. When she came home, her mother cut the bread open. Many new, shining pieces of silver fell out of it.
Her mother was very worried, and said. “Take the money back to the cook at once. The silver must have fallen into the dough(面团) by accident. Hurry up, Mary.”
When the little girl told the rich man her mother’s message, he said, “It has no mistake. I had the silver pieces put into the smallest bread for you as a prize. Always be as satisfied, peaceable and thankful as you now are. Go home now, and tell your mother that the money is yours.”

Can you remember the day when you spoke your first word If you can, you are not usual. Try to imagine what the first few months of your life were like. I am sure you just spent most of your time eating, sleeping and crying. As you grew older, you were awake more of the time. It took your parents more time to play with you and talk to you. You watched and listened curiously. You began to know that people made certain sounds to go with certain things.
Then you began to try making the sounds you heard. And step by step you were able to make the right sound for one thing.
On that day you came to understand the secret of language. The secret is that a certain sound means a certain thing. One sound might be as good as another. But it is no good as a word unless everybody agrees on its meaning. Only when a group of people use the same set of sounds of things, can they understand each other. Then and only then do these people have a LANGUAGE.
After you found the secret of language, you learned words. Some of the words meant things, such as BOOKS, CHAIRS and SHOES. Some words meant doing things, such as GO and SWIM, and other words described things, such as GOOD and DIRTY. Soon you learned to put words together to express your idea, such as “I want to go out and play with my friends.” This is language. By means of language people can communicate. So we say languages are means of communication.
21．________ can remember the day when ________.
A．One；he spoke his first word
B．No one；he spoke his first word
C．Most people；they spoke their first words
D．None；they spoke their first words
22．When you were a little baby, you ________.
A．made sounds to let people know that you wanted to eat
B．spent most of your time playing with your parents

23．The secret of language is that ________.
A．one sound might be as good as another
B．people can understand each other
C．a certain sound is for a certain thing
D．there is a special sound for each person
24．You could learn words ________.
A．before you knew what the language was
B．after you knew what the language was
C．before you knew the secret of the language
D．when you were a baby
