Is it difficult for you to get up in the morning? Are you often late for work or school? Yes? Then a scientist called Mike has a special bed for you. His Bed will get you up in the morning! Here is how it works!
The bed is connected to an alarm clock. First, the alarm clock rings. You have a few minutes to wake up. Next, a tape recorder in the bed plays soft music and then your girlfriend’s beautiful voice comes, “Wake up, darling, please.” A few minutes later, loud music comes from the tape recorder. At the same time, you may hear the voice of your boss. Your boss shouts angrily, “ Wake up at once, or you’ll be late!” If you don’t get up after that, you’ll be sorry! A plastic “foot” is in the bed. It kicks you in the head. Then the bed waits for a few more minutes. What! You’re still in bed! Slowly the top of the bed rises higher and the foot of the bed goes lower. Finally, you fall off the bed and onto the floor. You are out of the bed and awake!
Mike made his bed because he wanted to take part in a competition. Mike won one of the top prizes for his bed.

An old man was fishing on the bank of a river. A child came to see him fishing. The old man was really good at fishing and it didn't take long for him to catch a full basket of fish. The old man saw that the child was very cute, and he wanted to give her a whole basket of fish. But the child shook her head. The old man was surprised and asked, "Why don't you want the fish?" The child replied, “I want the fishing rod (竿) in your hands.” The old man asked, “Why do you want the rod?”
“It doesn't take long to eat all the fish in a basket. But if I have the fishing rod, I can go fishing by myself and I won't be afraid of not having any more fish to eat.”
I think you will certainly say that the child is very smart. Wrong! If she doesn't know how to fish, she cannot have fish to eat, even though she has the fishing rod. It's useless to only have a fishing rod. Fishing skills are the most important, not the fishing rod.
Too many people think that if they have a “fishing rod” in their life, they will no longer fear the wind and rain. They are just like the child, who thought that if sh e had a fishing rod, she would have fish to eat.
1. Why did the child refuse(拒绝) the fish the old man gave her?
A. Because she didn’t like fish.
B. Because she wanted his fishing rod
C. Because the old man had few fish.
D. Because she wanted to learn fishing skills
2. The writer thought the child was __ after she explained why she didn’t want the fish.
A. smart B. hardworking
C. silly(傻的) D. creative(有创造力的)
3. The article mainly tell us _________
A. if you have a “fishing rod” in your life, you won’t be afraid of anything.
B. if you have a fishing rod, you’ll have a lot of fish to eat
C. “fishing skills” are more important than “the fishing rod” in life.
D. “the fishing rod” is more important than the fish that people catch
4. What is the best title for the article?
A. The Fishing Rod
B. The Fishing Man
C. The Fishing Girl
D. The fishing Experience
