A student was one day taking a walk with his teacher. As they went along, they saw a pair of old shoes lying in the path. They were a poor farmer's, who was working in the nearby field.
The student turned to the teacher, saying:"we will hide his shoes, and hide ourselves behind those trees, and wait to see what he will do"
"My young friend," answered the teacher, "we should never make fun of the poor. Why not put a coin in each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and watch?" The student did so and they both hid themselves behind the trees. The poor man soon finished his work, and came across the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes.
After putting on his coat, he put his foot into one of his shoes, and felt something hard. Then he bent down to feel what it was, and found the coin. Surprised, he looked at the coin, turned it around and looked at it again. He then looked around, but no person was seen. He put the money into his pocket, and continued to put on the other shoe.

Why does night fall but never break and day break but never fall?Why are people who ride motorcycles called bikers and people who ride bikes called cyclists?In what other language do people drive in a parkway and park in a driveway?In what other language do they call the third hand on the clock the second hand?
Let's face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat.
We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (探讨它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them.
And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce, and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn't the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese - so one moose, two meese?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of human beings. That's why, when stars are out, they are visible; but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.
【1】According to the passage ______ .
A.boxing rings should be round
B.there should be egg in an eggplant
C.pineapples are the apples on the pine tree
D.sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different things
【2】Which of the following includes two items which have the similar meaning? ______
A.A wise man and a wise guy.
B.Quite a lot and quite a few.
C.Overlook and oversee.
D.Hot as hell and cold as hell.
【3】The underlined words "wind up" in the last paragraph probably mean " ______ ".
A.blow B.roll up
C.finish D.get hurt
【4】Through the many paradoxes in the English language, the writer wants to show that human beings are ______ .
A.clever B.crazy
C.lazy D.Dull
