4. There was once a poor woman who lived in a little cabin（小木屋）in a forest. She had two daughters, Snow-White and Rose-Red.

One cold winter evening, there came a knock at the door. Rose-Red opened the door. It was a bear. Rose-Red was frightened, but the bear called out to her in a man?s v oice.

5. Not long ago I was invited out to dinner by a girl named Jane. I had only met Jane twice, and she was very, very beautiful. I was very pleased. “She likes me,” I thought. “I am so sorry we asked you at such short notice.” she said when I arrived, “but we suddenly realized there was going to be thirteen people at the table, so we had to find someone else.” Believing that the number 13 is unlucky is a typical superstition（迷信）. Recently I came across a little group of worried people. They gathered round a man lying on the pavement beside a road in London. They were waiting for an ambulance because the man had been knocked down by a passing taxi. He had stepped off the pavement and into the street in order not to walk under a ladder. To see a black cat in England is lucky. But if you see a black cat in India, it is

considered very unlucky. There, if you are about to set out on a long journey, and someone sneezes（打喷嚏）, you shouldn?t go. If you break a mirror, you will have seven years? bad luck. Just superstition, of course.

(1) Jane invited the writer out to dinner because ______ .

8. There was a famous French writer. He was a man of great achievements (成就). He said that one of his main achievements was his study of handwriting. He had spent much time on it and he often told his friends that he could tell a person?s character (性格) from that person?s handwriting.

One day, a woman brought him a page of a boy?s handwriting. She said that she wanted to know what he thought of the boy?s character.

He studied the handwriting carefully for a few minutes. Then he looked at the woman strangely. The woman told him that the boy was not in her family and that he did not have to worry.

“Good!” said the writer, “Then I can tell you.” He went on to say that he thought the boy was stupid and lazy. He added that the boy should be watched carefully, if not, he would bring harm to his family when he grew up.

“Isn?t that strange?” said the woman, smiling. “Because this is a page from your own exercise book. You wrote it yourself when you were a boy.”
