Once a king asked a poor man Harold, “Why don’t you work to make money?” Harold answered, “No one gives me a job. My enemies have told everyone that I never finish any work on time (准时).”
The kind said, “Today you can go to my treasury (金银财宝库) and get as much treasure as you can, till sunset (日落).”
Harold ran home to tell his wife about it. She said, “Go and get the gold coins and diamonds now.”
“I cannot go now. I’m hungry. Cook lunch for me first.”
After lunch, Harold took a rest for an hour. Then he took a bag and left home. On the way, Harold felt hot, so he sat under a tree to rest. Two hours later, it became cool. Harold got ready to go, but he saw a man showing some magic tricks (魔术). Harold stopped to watch him for an hour.
When Harold reached the palace, it was already time for sunset. The palace gates had been closed. Harold lost a big chance because he didn’t realize the importance of time.

When I was 12，all I wanted was a signet（图章）ring. They were the “in” thing and it seemed every girl except me had one. On my 13th birthday. My mom gave me a signet ring with my initials(拼音字母)carved into it. I was in heaven.
What made it even special was that it was about the only thing that wasn’t being “replaced”. We’d been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had lost everything----so most of the new stuff（东西）we got was really just to replace what we’d lost，but not my ring. My ring was new.
Then, only one month later, I lost it，I took it off before bed and it was missing in the morning. I was sad and searched everywhere for it. But it seemed to have disappeared. At last，I gave up and stopped looking for it. And two years later, we sold the house and moved away.
Years passed, and a couple of moves later, I was visiting my parents' when Mum told me that she had something for me. It wasn’t my birthday, nor was it Easter or Christmas or any gift-giving occasion（时机）.Mum noticed my questioning look. “You’ll recognize this one.” She said，smiling.
Then she handed me a small ring box. I took it from her and opened it to find my beautiful signet ring inside.
The family who had bought our house 13 years earlier had recently decided to do some redecoration，which includes replacing the carpets. When they pulled the carpet up in my old bedroom, they found the ring. As it had my initials carved into it，they realized who owned the ring. They'd had it professionally cleaned up by a jeweler before sending it to my mother. And it still fits me.

Think about the different ways that people use the wind. You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources, as well as one of the oldest. Something shows that windmills（风车）began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.
For many centuries, people used windmills to make wheat into flour(面粉) or get water from deep underground. When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in faraway areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were hardly used.
During the 1970s, people started becoming more cared about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would run out one day. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind. From the first paragraph, what can we know about wind and windmills?
A. Wind is the cleanest, richest and newest power source.
B. Windmills were first introduced to Middle East during 1100s.

| A．To help make flour from wheat. |
| B．To help get water from the river. |
| C．To help make electric lights. |
| D．To help dig wells in faraway areas. |
When were the windmills used to produce electricity in some places?
| A．In the 1100s. | B．In the 1940s. |
| C．In the 1970s. | D．In the 1800s |
Why was wind rediscovered during the 1970s?
| A．Because coal and gas had been used up. |
| B．Because it was cheaper to produce electricity. |
| C．Because it’s cleaner than other sources. |
| D．Because it could only be used in faraway areas. |
