Every day the farmer got up early to read books. One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa! I want to read books just like you, but I don’t understand them. What are the advantages of reading?” The grandfather said, “Take this litter basket to the river and bring me back a basket of water.” the boy did, but all the water leaked out（漏出）before he got back to the house. The grandfather laughed and said, “ You’ll have to walk faster next time.”This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned home. The boy said, “ See, Grandpa, it’s useless（无用的）!” “You think it is useless?” the old man said. “ Look at the basket.” The boy looked at the basket and for the first time he found that the basket was different. It was cleaner, inside and out.“That’s what happens when you read books. You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read them, you will be changed, inside and out.” 【小题1】Who did the old farmer live with?____________________________________________________________________【小题2】What did the old farmer do every morning?____________________________________________________________________【小题3】Did the grandson know the advantages of reading at first?___________________________________________________________________【小题4】What did the grandfather ask his grandson to do?____________________________________________________________________【小题5】How was the basket after the grandson took water with it?______________________________________________________________________
