Reading Comprehension for Module 2
(A)
western children get
their pocket money by different kinds of ways.
Some children help their
parents to do housework to get some pocket money.
Children usually
begin to do housework
at the age of 10. They are busy with subjects from
Monday to Friday, so they
have to do
housework on weekends. They clean the floor,
windows and cars. They cut the grass, feed
animals, or cook dinner for their
families.
When
children
get
older,
they
work
harder
to
make
more
money.
Some
children
send
newspapers. They have
to get up early in the morning to send the
newspapers from door to door.
It
’
s
a hard job.
But they can make more money. Some high school
children can also make more money
by
cutting grass, looking after babies and feeding
animals for others.
Of course, they
also do some
volunteering
jobs. They work hard and ask for no money. This
can help them a lot in their study and
life.
As you can see,
it
’
s good for children to do
some part-time or volunteering jobs. It helps kids
to
improve themselves. So parents
support them very much.

Four seasons of a tree
Many years ago, there was an old man
who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not
to
judge (
判断
)
things too quickly. So he told them to go and look
at a pear tree. It was far away from
his home. The first son went in winter,
the second in spring, the third in summer, and the
youngest
son in autumn.
When
the
sons
came
back,
the
old
man
asked
them
to
say
what
they
had
seen.
The
first
son
complained the tree was ugly. The
second son said the tree was covered with buds and
full of hope.
The third son said the
tree was full of green leaves. They looked so
beautiful, and it was the most
wonderful thing he had ever seen. The
youngest son said that the tree was bowed down
with heavy
fruits. It was full of life
and fulfillment (
收获
).
The man
explained that all of his sons were right, but
each of them had seen just one season of

the tree. He
told them that they couldn't judge a tree or a
person by only one season.

winter,
you

of
your

of the other seasons. Never

Marco Polo
It is difficult
to imagine what the world was like in 1254. Europe
was living in an age that we
call the
Medieval Period (
中世纪
). It
was a time of many wars
(
战争
).
It was in
that time that Marco Polo was born in Venice,
Italy. Life in Venice was different from
life
in
most
of
Europe.
Venice
was
a
city
of
beautiful
buildings
and
water
canals
(
运河
).
Many
businessmen
did
business
in
Venice.
Marco
Polo’s
father
and
uncle
were
businessmen.
They
had
traveled to a far-off
country called Cathay. (Cathay is now called
China.) There they had friends with
the
great ruler, Kublai
Khan(
忽必烈
). He invited them
to return to Cathay.
When Marco Polo
was
seventeen
years old,
he
began a journey to
China
with
his
father and
uncle. They sailed the Indian Ocean and
crossed the desert and mountains of Asia on
camels. The
journey to China took three
years.
Kublai Khan greeted the Polos
and sent them lots of gifts. He was especially
impressed (
留印
象
)
with Marco, who could speak four languages
including Chinese and others.
Khan sent
Marco on many trips through China. On these trips,
Marco saw many amazing things
that
he
had
never
seen
in
Europe,
such
as
coal
used
as
fuel,
paper
money
instead
of
coins,
