One more thing, Frank, if you are happy, you may not be satisfied with your life. Frank: What do you mean? Lisa: Happiness often means how happy you feel with your life now.

Read the following conversation and answer the question. M: What are you doing, Mum? W: I'm planting cabbage. M: What's that in your hand? W: Cabbage seed. You see, I put some soil in the box, sow the seed carefully like this, and then cover it with more soil. I'll keep the box in the shade so that the sun doesn't burn the little plants. M: Is that all? W: No. Later, in a few weeks' time I'll put the little plants in the earth. Then I'll water them to stop the soil from getting too dry. Several weeks after that, I will plant them in rows in the field. M: Do you have to feed plants like you feed chickens? Or do they grow up by themselves? W: In fact they grow better if you feed them. When the plants are in the ground I'll put some powder on the soil. The powder is made from fish, blood and bones. It'll make the cabbage plants grow big and strong. M: Like me! Question: Where will the mother put the box after she's put the cabbage seed in it? - In the sun. - In the shade. - In the soil.

Ques:Read the following conversation and answer the question. W: Good morning, everybody. Today, for our writing class, we are glad to have Mr. Henry Stone with us, a well-known writer in this country. He is going to share with us his writing experiences. Now, Henry, please tell us how you find so many interesting things for your stories. M: OK. I watch people a lot. I do that when I travel. I've been to many countries such as Britain, Italy and Sweden. So I spend a lot of time at airports. While waiting for my flights, I watch people passing by and start my imagination. For example, the other day, when I was waiting for my flight to Greece, I saw a couple. They were buying magazines at that moment. They were not wearing business clothes, but the man was carrying a suitcase. Every few seconds, the woman looked around. I wondered if someone was following them. Perhaps they were running away, and you know, this reminded me of a story in the newspaper that day: a bank clerk stole one million pounds a week before and disappeared with his wife. There was a picture of them in the paper. The couple really looked like the wiz. Maybe I should stop them. Just then, I saw them say goodbye to each other, and the woman walked away. Well, sometimes I make mistakes like that. But I find things like that are very useful for my writing. Question: What did Henry learn from the newspaper that day? - A valuable suitcase was missing. - A man stole money from a bank. - A woman ran away from home.

Ans:A man stole money from a bank.
