John was a clever man. He took out ten cents and gave it to Sam. He said, "Here is ten cents. Would you please sell me some of your wine?" Sam was a businessman (商人), so he said, "You give me money, so of course I will sell some to you." Then he passed John a cup of wine.

After drinking the wine, John felt warm soon, but Sam was still cold. Then he took out the ten cents that John just gave to him and said to John, "Here is ten cents. Please sell me some of your wine." John agreed. Sam drank some wine and also felt much warmer. But after some time, they both felt cold again, so they kept buying wine from each other with the same ten cents. Soon they drank up all of the wine.

五、任务型阅读理解。（10分）

When you wanted to buy something in the past, what would you do? You would go out and buy them in a store or supermarket. But now in 21st century, there is a new way to do-it is to buy it online. How incredible（不可思议）, isn't it?
 There are many good reasons to shop online. First of all, it is convenient（方便的）. When you want to buy something, you do not need to go out, but to sit before your computer and look through the web pages such as JOYO or EBAY. Then you choose what you want and buy it with just a click of your mouse. Shopping online can help you save lots of time, money and energy.
 The advantage of shopping online is that there are much more goods online which you have never seen 

in the store. For example, some books printed several years ago might not be sold in the stores, but you can buy them online!
 Finally, because of the technology improvement, shopping online has become safe. You can check the information of the owner before you decide to buy and pay for the goods. You can make payment online and you don't need to worry that your information may be stolen.
 If you want to enjoy shopping, you can choose online shopping to get what you want.
