IX．阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。
A
Ted, my little brother, is in Grade One. Last Friday he came back from school with a letter. The letter was from his teacher. “I got a red flower today. Could you please sign this note?” he said to Mum. The note showed that he had been talking in class.
Ted hardly gets top scores in his school work. The best he gets is “OK”, but often he gets “You can do better than this.” Mum knows what it means. She tells him “You can do better than this” means “Very bad” in China.
In the USA, teachers never say anything too bad about their students, even if the students are making trouble in class or not working hard enough. The worst they might say is “Please be nicer tomorrow”. Many parents are satisfied with a B-grade for each subject their children get.
But things in Chinese schools are quite different. Parents have high expectations for their children. I sometimes felt that my second-grade cousin spent more time on homework than I did when I was a 6th grader in the USA! Yet his parents and teachers didn’t think he worked enough.
Is it too strict in China? Or is it not strict enough in the USA? Maybe both are true.
Whatever it is ,parents always hope their children to develop better. We can’t give a specific comment on this issue and just treat the ways that they teach their children equally.
71. Why did Ted come home with a letter from school last Friday?
A. Because the teacher wanted to visit his mother.
B. Because he did something wrong.
C. Because the teacher was happy with his progress.
D. Because the teacher thought he was too lazy.
72. If a student in the USA gets “OK” in his school work, it means .
A. he gets top scores B. he gets medium scores
C. he gets very bad scores D. he gets the worst scores
73. American parents will be when their children get a B-grade in their school.
A. nervous B. embarrassed C. angry D. pleased
74. The writer mainly wants to tell us .
A. some differences between Chinese and American education
B. Chinese students are better than American students
C. American parents are not strict enough with their children
D. the best way to educate children in both America and China

A cobbler（鞋匠）spent his time singing from morning till night. He was poor but happy. However, his neighbor who had lots of wealth, sang little and slept less. When he fell into a doze（打盹）at day-break, the cobbler woke him up with his songs.
Finally, he sent for his neighbor and said to him, “How much a year do you earn, my neighbor?” The cobbler laughed and said . “ I haven't thought in that way, living as I do from one day to another to reach the end of the year; each day brings its meal.” “ Well then! How much a day do you earn , my friend?” “Sometimes more, sometimes less. But our earnings were very acceptable.”
The banker, laughing at his poor neighbor, said, “In the future I shall give you all you want. Take this hundred crowns（克朗）, keep them carefully, and make use of them in time of need.” The cobbler fancied（想象）he had all the wealth which the earth had produced in the past centuries for the use of mankind.

Returning home, he buried his money. So did his happiness at the same time. No more singing, he lost his voice. The moment he had that money was the source of so much sadness. A1l day long, his eyes looked at the direction of his treasure.
