Chuck was thirteen when he came home from the hospital. He came home not because he was getting better but because he wanted to be with people he knew and loved when he died. I came by the house to visit him and his family several times a week during his treatment. On most of my visits, Chuck was very weak. But the last time I saw him alive, he was awake. “I have got something for you.” He pulled out a piece of crumpled (弄皺的) paper from under his pillow. “I want you to give this to my mom and dad after I die. You’ll know when it’s right, I guess, won’t you?”

 “What is it?” I asked. “It’s a list of all the fun we had, and all the happy time when we laughed.” I almost gasped in great surprise.

 “Like what?” I asked quietly, trying to regain my calmness.

 “Like the time when Mom, Dad, Chrissie, Linda and me were dressed up as fruits and Dad was driving us to a costume party. Dad was a bunch of grapes and I was an apple, and the others were different things like bananas and pears.”

 And a policewoman pulled Dad over for speeding. When the policewoman came up to the car, she looked and started laughing so hard that she could hardly stand up. And we all started laughing and she said, “Where are you all heading — a salad bar?” Dad said he was sorry to be speeding, but his kids were getting so ripe(成熟的) that they were starting to draw flies. And she laughed till she had to take off her dark glasses and wiped tears from her eyes.”

 Chuck laughed and so did I. The list was full of laughing and fun. What a wonderful gift, I thought.

Why did Chuck go home from the hospital?

A. He had been cured by the doctors.

B. He got better and better.

C. He missed his friends and teachers.

D. He wanted to be with people who he knew and loved when he died.

What did Chuck write on the list?

A. What to do after his death.     B. His thoughts about fear, anger and disappointment.

C. What to do before his death.     D. All the happy time he had with his family.

Why did the policewoman laugh when she looked into the car?

A. Because she mistook the children for fruits.

B. Because she saw some flies around the children.

C. Because she was frightened.

D. Because the children were dressed in a funny way.

The underlined expression “pulled Dad over” probably here means “________”.

A. stopped Dad                           B. punished Dad

C. put Dad into prison          D. knocked Dad down

Chuck,unlike other frogs,didn't like catching flies himself. But he did love eating them.

Some frogs thought Chuck was lazy. Some believed he must think he was too good for them. Some thought Chuck was the strangest frog ever.

That didn't matter to Chuck. Each morning,Chuck jumped over and sat under the spider's web. Then when Lady Eightlegs went off to dip (浸) her feet in the pond,Chuck ate flies from her web.

One morning while Chuck was enjoying his fly breakfast,Lady Eightlegs returned and caught him.

“You're the one who keeps eating my flies!”she cried.

Chuck jumped away and into the pond. Now there was an idea!Why not spin (結(jié)) his own web?

He collected some vines (葡萄藤) from a nearby farm. Then he began to spin his web. He worked on his web for hours,until very late at night. And then he fell asleep.

When he woke up the next morning,he found that he got caught by the vines.

“Help!”he shouted.

Lady Eightlegs looked up from the edge of the pond. She hurried up to help Chuck out of the vine web.

“No matter how hard I try,I can't spin a spider's web,”Chuck said.

“Of course not,”Lady Eightlegs said. “You're a frog. Frogs can't spin spider's webs any better than spiders can swim,I guess.”

“But I always see you in the water,”Chuck said.

“I only wade in (蹚水) up to my knees,”Lady Eightlegs sighed. “How wonderful it would be to swim in the middle of the pond and float (漂浮) peacefully under the sun.”

Chuck smiled,“I have an idea.”

From that day forward,Chuck carried Lady Eightlegs out to the middle of the pond,where they floated and played together. When they returned to land,they shared a breakfast of flies from her spider's web.

It wasn't exactly an ordinary friendship. But Chuck was not an ordinary frog.

1.The second paragraph is written to show that Chuck ______.

A.was different from other frogs        B.didn't get along well with other frogs

C.led a lonely life                    D.was a proud frog

2.What do we know about Chuck's web?

A.Lady Eightlegs helped Chuck spin it.    B.It was successfully spun by Chuck.

C.It was spun far from the pond.          D.Chuck failed to spin it himself.

3.It can be inferred from the text that ______.

A.Chuck had tried to catch Lady Eightlegs    B.Chuck had difficulty collecting vines

C.Lady Eightlegs was very wise             D.Lady Eightlegs swam well

4.What was Lady Eightlegs' attitude towards Chuck in the end?

A.Worried.            B.Friendly.                         C.Doubtful.              D.Cold.
