When sailors are allowed ashore(上岸) after a long time at sea, they sometimes get drunk and cause trouble. For this reason, the navy(海軍) always has naval police in big ports. When sailors cause trouble, the naval police come and deal with them.

　　One day, the naval police in one big seaport received an urgent (緊急的) telephone call from a bar in the town. The barman said that a big sailor had got drunk and was breaking the furniture in the bar. The petty(弱小的) officer who was in charge of the naval police guard that evening said that he would come immediately.

　　Now, petty officers who had to go and deal with sailors who were violently(兇暴的) drunk usually chose the biggest naval policeman they could find to go with them. But this particular petty officer did not do this. Instead, he chose the smallest and weakest－looking man he could find to go to the bar with him and arrest the sailor who was breaking the furniture.

　　Another petty officer who happened to be there was surprised when he saw the petty officer of the guard choose this small man, so he said to him, “Why don't you take a big man with you? You may have to fight the sailor who is drunk.”

　　“Yes, you are quite right,” answered the petty officer of the guard. “That is exactly why I am taking this small man. If you saw two policemen coming to arrest you, and one of them was much smaller than the other, which one would you attack?”

1．What do sailors sometimes do when they are allowed ashore after a long time at sea?

2．What does the navy always have?

3．What do the naval police do when sailors cause trouble?

4．Where did the naval police in one big port receive an urgent telephone call from?

5．What did the barman say?

6．Who said, “I will come immediately?”

7．Who did petty officers have to go and deal with?

8．Who did petty officers usually choose to go with them?

9．Who did that particular petty officer choose and what did he choose him to do?

10．What did the petty officer answer when one of his friends said, “Why don't you take a big man with you? You may have to fight the sailor who is drunk?”

　　Carol and Susan were great friends. They were in the same class at school, and they often visited each other's homes at weekends.

　　When they were both eight years old, Carol's mother had a baby. Carol was overjoyed to have a little sister and was always talking about her to Susan, who had no brothers or sisters.

　　At first Susan was very interested in the new baby, but after some time she began to get rather discontented (不高興的) with Carol's continual talking about it. She also felt a little jealous(妒忌的).

　　One morning when the two girls were in the school playground, Carol said to Susan cheerfully, “Do you know, Sue, my baby sister gained nearly two hundred grams in weight this week. ”

　　“That's not very much, ” answered Susan. “I know a baby that gains five kilograms a day. ”

　　“Oh, that can't be true! ” answered Carol. “Whose baby is it?”

　　“An elephant's,” said Susan.

1．How many children did Susan's parents have?

2．Why did Susan get tired of hearing about Carol's sister?

3．What did Carol boast to Susan about one morning?

　　When a big ship is in very rough(不平坦的) sea, it has to be able to bend(彎) a little, otherwise it may break in two. If one end of the ship is on the top of one huge wave, and the other end is on the top of another, with the middle of the ship hanging in between; or if one huge wave comes up under the middle of the ship, leaving the two ends hanging, the ship's own weight will break its back if it is quite stiff(硬的).

　　To make a big ship elastic(有彈性的) enough to avoid (避開) this danger, it has joints where the sections of the ship come together above the water-line, and these joints (連接處) open and shut slightly as the waves lift one section(部分) of the ship or another. This is enough to save the ship from breaking into pieces.

　　One day a sailor was walking along a passage-way in a big ship during a storm when he was surprised to see a boy sitting comfortably in a chair at the end of the passage-way, which was opposite one of the ship's joints. The boy had a bag of nuts beside him, and every time the ship was lifted by a wave and the joint opened, he put a nut in it. As the ship came down again, the joint closed and cracked(壓碎) the nut, gently but firmly. The boy then took it out and put the next one in as the joint opened again.

1．What does a big ship have to do when it is in very rough sea?

2．If one end of the ship is on the top of one huge wave, and the other end is on the top of another, with the middle of the ship hanging in between, what will happen to the ship if it is quite stiff?

3．Why does a big ship have joints?

4．What do these joints do?

5．Where was a sailor walking during the storm in this story?

6．What was he surprised to see?

7．What did the boy have beside him?

8．What did he do?

9．How was the nut cracked?

10．What did the boy do then?
