Tom was a lazy boy. He hated going to school, studying and doing homework. One day, when Gluebeard, the famous captain, came to town for some young sailors(水手), Tom made sure he was the first to join.
On Gluebeards ship, every minute of every day was spent looking for treasure and if anyone was found reading or studying, they would be locked in a small room full of mice. And so Tom began his life as a treasure-hunting sailor, but it wasnt easy. They hardly had enough money to buy food and clothes.
One day, someone on the ship stole the only food Tom had left. Two days later, Tom was so hungry that he secretly went to the room full of mice to find one to eat. But when he entered, he couldnt find a single mouse. He did find a secret room, one that was full of books! Suddenly he heard some voices and he hid away to listen...
Tom was very angry. He heard Gluebeard laughed at how stupid the crew(全体船员) were, how easy it was to fool them, and how foolish and poor they would always be after leaving their studies behind.
From that day on, Tom waited every night until everyone was asleep. Then he visited the room full of books, where he spent his time studying all kinds of books. Soon he found that learning about so many things gave him better ideas.
After a few years, he left Gluebeards ship, used the money he made to buy his own boat and assembled(聚集) his own crew. Unlike Gluebeard, however, he only chose people who studied. And instead of fooling them, he encouraged them to search for treasure with him. With so many clever people, they found new treasure much faster.

C.Because he didnt like studying.
D.Because he was the best.
2.What did Tom find in the secret room?
A.Treasure maps. B.Food and clothes.
C.Many books. D.Some mice.
3.Why didnt Gluebeard allow his crew to read or study?
A.Because he wanted his crew to find more treasure.
B.Because he could cheat his crew easily in this way.
C.Because there werent enough books on the ship.
D.Because he thought it was no use reading books.
4.When did Tom change his idea about studying?
A.When he was at school.
B.Before he became a sailor.
C.After he heard Gluebeard laughed at the crew.
D.After he bought his own ship.

【传统文化·算盘的起源与地位】We all know that papermaking, gunpowder, the compass and printing are the four great inventions of ancient China. But have you heard of another important invention—the abacus(算盘)?
Its said that Li Shou invented the abacus. 1. Some researchers believe the abacus has a longer history than the other calculators(计算器) in the world. In China, people used abacuses to do calculations for thousands of years before people use electronic calculators in daily lives.
2. It has many beads(珠子). In an abacus, each bead in the top section stands for five, and each bead in the bottom section stands for one. By moving the beads up or down, one can do all kinds of calculations.
It is a joy to watch a skilled hand use an abacus. Fingers move, beads knock, and after a few seconds, the result comes out. 3. So it was taught in many schools. Wherever there was a need for calculations, an abacus would come into sight.
Today, because we are used to using electronic calculators, we dont have many chances to see an abacus in our daily lives. 4. However, the abacus still plays an important role in certain situations.
The abacus is one of the important inventions in Chinese history. It made a big difference to Chinese peoples lives. 5. It is our national treasure. It is one of the reasons why we are proud of China.
A.Many young people have not even heard of the word “abacus”.
B.So the abacus is a symbol of wealth for traders in China.
C.It shows the great wisdom of the ancient Chinese people.
D.The abacus is usually made of wood.
E.It has been around for over 4,000 years.
F.In the past, knowing how to use an abacus was a necessary skill.
G.More and more people are using abacuses nowadays.
