Henry was an office worker in a big city. He worked very hard and enjoyed traveling in his holidays.
He usually went to the seaside, but one year he saw an advertisement in a newspaper. “Enjoy country life. Spend a few weeks at West Hill Farm. Good food. Fresh air. Horse riding. Walking. Fishing. Cheap and interesting.”
“This sounds a good idea,” he thought. “I’ll spend a month at West Hill Farm. I think I can enjoy horse riding, walking and fishing. They’ll make a change from sitting by the seaside and swimming.”
He wrote to the farmer. In the letter he said that he would like to spend all of July there. Then on the first of July, he left for West Hill Farm.
But four days later, he returned home.
“What was wrong with West Hill Farm?” his best friend, Ed, asked him. “Didn’t you enjoy country life?”
“Country life was very good,” Henry said. “But there was another problem.”
“Oh. What?”
“Well,” he said, “the first day I was there a sheep died, and we had roast mutton for dinner.”
“What’s wrong with that?” Ed asked. “Fresh meat is the best.”
“I know, but on the second day a cow died, and we had roast beef for dinner.”
“Lucky you!”
“You don’t understand,” Henry said. “on the third day a pig died and we had roast pork for dinner.”
“A different meat every day,” Ed said loudly, “and you are complaining!”
“Let me finish,” Henry said. “on the fourth day the farmer died, and I didn’t dare (敢)stay for dinner!”

假日里,亨利喜欢到海边去旅游。有一次,他想去西山农场享受一下田园风光,并计划在那儿度过一个月的时间。可是令人惊奇的是,才去四天之后他就回来了。当朋友问起其中的缘由时,亨利说道:第一天,农场里死了一只羊,晚餐时美美地吃了一顿烤羊肉;第二天农场死了一头牛,又吃了一顿烧牛肉;第三天农场死了一头猪,结果又吃了一顿烤猪肉。可是,到了第四天,农场主死了,我不敢再留下来吃饭了。
1. A。第二段的首句“...but one year he saw an advertisement in a newspaper.”即是答案的出处。
2. D。本题考查根据语境进行分析判断的能力。由上下文,显然可知这是报纸上的一则广告信息。
3. C。本题考查通过上下文对词汇的推测能力。根据亨利的叙述可得出此答案。
4. B。这由“A different meat every day, and you are complaining!”一句可知。
5. C。本来打算要在乡村农场过一个暑假,结果四天之后就回来了。这能不是个短暂的假期吗?用此作标题既切合题意,又具有幽默的味道。
