　　D. Answer the questions(根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答下列問題):(12分)

　　There once was a young man who went to India. In those times, we didn’t have airplanes or many other kinds of modern transportation as now. So the young man went to India on foot. He hadn’t been to India before. And when he got there, he saw a lot of fruit. In India they have plenty of fruit to sell, but much of it is expensive, because they can’t grow much because of the water situation. He saw a big basket of very red and long fruit. And it was the cheapest in the shop.

　　So he went up and asked, “How much is it per kilo?”

　　And the shopkeeper said, “Two rupees.”

　　Two rupees (印度貨幣)in India is nothing; it’s like dirt. So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and started eating it.

　　He ate some of it. Oh, my God! His eyes watered, his mouth watered; his eyes were burning, his head was burning; and his face became red. As he coughed, he jumped up and down, saying “Ah! Ah! Ah!”

　　But he still kept eating the fruit!

　　Some people looking at him shook their heads and said, “You’re crazy, man. Those are chilies(辣椒)! You can’t eat so many; they’re not good for you! People use them as a condiment (調(diào)味品), but only a little bit to put into food for taste. You can’t just eat them like that; they’re not fruit!”

　　But the stupid young man said, “No, I can’t stop! I paid money for them, and now I’ll eat them. It’s my money!”

　　And you think that young man was stupid, right? Similarly, we sometimes do a lot of things like that. We still continue just because we’ve put money, time, effort and love into it, just like the man who ate the chilies and felt so bad but couldn’t stop because he didn’t want to waste the money he had paid.

　　So even if you’ve lost something, let it go and move on. That’s better than continuing to lose.

　　93. How did the young man go to India?

　　94. Why is fruit expensive in India?

　　95. What did the fruit the man bought look like?

　　96. When did his face become red?

　　97. Some people thought the young man was crazy, didn’t they?

　　98. What can you learn from this story?

　　I will never forget the Australian hotel my parents and I stayed in last summer. It was quite small, hot and uncomfortable.

　　The worst thing about the hotel was the lift. It was very small. There was only one for the whole hotel. We were on the fifth floor. It was a long way down to the ground floor by the stairs.

　　The hotel was full. There was always a long line for the lift. We spent a long time waiting for it each day. Worse still, it often stopped working. We got very angry about that.

　　One morning we had got the lift down to the ground floor. I had forgotten my jacket. I went back to my room for it. I pressed the button for the lift and it came right away. It stopped halfway down. It was not at any of the floors. It had stopped working! I was frightened. I struck the door and shouted. Then I pressed the alarm bell. Luckily, Mum and Dad guessed what had happened and asked for help. In a short time someone came and helped me out of the lift.

　　I still have nightmares about that lift. In fact, I am now nervous about all lifts. I keep thinking that they will stop working any time.

　　D:

　　Alice lived in the country, but one year she decided to visit the capital city to do some shopping. She stayed at a hotel beside the central market.

　　On the first morning in the city, as she walked from the hotel to the market, she passed a blind beggar. Alice felt sorry for the beggar and she put a dollar coin into his bowl.

　　On the fourth day, however, Alice did not have a dollar coin. She had only fifty cents so she dropped this into the beggar’s bowl. The beggar noticed that she gave him less money than the first three times. So he asked, “Why did you give me less money today?”

　　Alice was very surprised by what the beggar said. “How do you know I haven’t given you a dollar?” she said. “If you’re blind you can’t know what coin I put into your bowl.”

　　“Ah,” explained the beggar, “to tell you the truth, I’m not blind. I’m just looking after this place for the regular person while he’s on holiday.”

　　“What does your blind friend do on holiday?” Alice asked.

　　“He is in the country,” the man said, “ he loves taking photographs”
