初中英语阅读 阅读理解三篇 A Papa's New Pants Papa saw purple new pants at the market. He told the shopkeeper, "We're having a picnic tomorrow. I must have those pants." When Papa tried them on, the shopkeeper said, "A perfect fit. A little long, but don't worry. They need to be shortened only the length of a thumb." Papa paid for them and went home. He asked his wife, "Can you hem( 缝边 ) my new pants before the picnic tomorrow They need to be shortened only the length of a thumb." Mama said, "Can't you see how busy I am If we are going to have picnic, first I must bake the cakes. Then I must cut tomatoes and cucumbers for the salad." "I can see how busy you are." Papa 叹 sighed( 气)." I'll ask Nina." He found his oldest daughter going out the door with her bag. "Nina, can you shorten my pants for tomorrow" "Oh, Papa, "Nina said, "look at this list Mama gave me. First I must go to the baker's and order fresh bread for tomorrow. Then I must buy drinks at the grocery store. Ask one of the twins." The twins were in their bedroom. Margot was combing Becky's hair. "Can one of you fix my pants for the picnic" "We want to look pretty for the picnic," Becky said. "When Margot finishes my hair, I'm going to comb hers." Max, the little son of the family, tugged( 使劲拖 ) at his father's sleeve. "Let me shorten them. I know what to do." "Nonsense," said Papa, laughing. "You're too little." Papa was disappointed he wouldn't be able to wear his new pants to the picnic. He went outside to water the garden. Max lifted the pants off the hook( 挂衣钩 ).I'll show Papa that I'm not too young. After measuring the length of his thumb, Max cut edges and stitched( 缝 ) them with thread from Mama's sewing box. When Max hung the pants back on the hook in Papa's bedroom, he thought they looked as good as new. "Papa is going to think we're selfish," Margot said to her sister. "Why don't we help him "Becky agreed. Each girl measured the length of her thumb and cut the edges and stitched them with purple thread from the sewing box. "Don't say a word. It'll be a surprise." said Becky. When Nina came home from shopping, she thought she was rude to his father, so she measured the length of her thumb and cut and stitched again. After everyone had gone to sleep, Mama put the last of the food in the refrigerator. She sat down to rest. Poor Papa, she thought. I'll fix those pants so he can wear them tomorrow. She cut and stitched until the job was done. When Papa woke up in the morning, he saw his new pants and sighed. Maybe no one will notice they're a bit too long, he thought. He pulled the pants on. What's going on here He wondered. The family found him standing in front of the mirror. "Papa, what happened to your pants" everyone asked. "Oh, Papa, what will you do "Nina cried. "We can't make them longer." Papa laughed so hard that tears rolled down his cheeks. When at last he could speak, he said, "Nobody wanted to disappointed me.

B The Price of a Diamond Ring A long time ago, there lived a famous day, a young man came to visit him and asked,"Teacher,I don't understand why you dress in such a simple way You are so famous, and everyone adores(仰募 ) you. Aren't you afraid of being despised(小看 )" The famous person only smiled and took his diamond ring from one of his fingers,and said,"Young friend, I will answer your question, but first do one thing for me. Take this ring and go to the market across the street. Can you sell this for one piece of gold" Looking at the famous person's dirty ring, the young man became doubtful and said,"One piece of gold I am not sure this ring could be sold at that price." "Try first, young man. How do you know if you don't do it"The young man went to the market quickly. He offered the ring to the traders( 商 人 ) who sold vegetables,meat and fish. But nobody was willing(愿意 ) to pay a piece of gold for it. He went back to the famous person's house and reported,"Teacher, no one wants to offer more than one piece of silver." With a wise smile, the famous person said,"Now go to the jewelry(珠宝 ) shop at the back of this street. Show this to its owner or to the gold trader. Don't give your price. Just listen how much he will pay for this ring." The young man went to the jewelry shop and returned with a different expression(表情 ) on his face. He then reported,"Teacher, the traders in the market really didn't know the value(价值 ) of this ring. The gold trader offered to buy this ring for one thousand pieces of gold ---one thousand times more than what the traders in the market offered." The famous person just smiled and spoke softly,"That was the answer to your questions, my friend. A person cannot be valued( 评论 ) according to the clothes he wears. The traders in the market gave prices like that, but not the gold trader. The gold inside someone can be seen and valued only if you could look at his inner soul(心里世界 ).
