“The Fisherman and the Little Fish” is one
of the wellknown stories of Aesop’s Fables (伊索寓言). It was about a
fisherman who went out and spent hours fishing. At first, the fisherman didn’t
have the luck to catch anything, but suddenly he felt a tug (猛拉) on his fishing line and then caught a very small
fish.
The fish told the fisherman that it would
appreciate him if he let it go. However, the fish’s words didn’t change the
fisherman’s decision. He didn’t want to be tied up at the lake because he was
very hungry after fishing all day. He rejected the small fish’s request and
told it that even a small fish made a good meal. Then, he put it in his bag.
It was apparent that the fisherman knew
that he had caught his dinner for that night. He also knew that “a little thing
in the hand is worth more than a great thing in prospect (期望).” Some might think the fisherman was very cruel (殘忍的) to small animals, but it was the law of the jungle.
( C ) 1.
The fisherman didn’t set the fish free because ________.
(A) he preferred small fish to big ones
(B) he could make a fortune by selling the fish he had
caught
(C) he was very hungry after fishing all day
(D) it was possible for him to catch some more fish
later that day
( C ) 2.
According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
(A) The small fish’s words didn’t arouse the fisherman’s
pity.
(B) “The Fisherman and the Little Fish” is a story from
Aesop’s Fables.
(C) The fisherman let go of the fish because it was too
small.
(D) The fisherman had spent a long time fishing before
he caught the small fish.
( A ) 3.
Which saying best describes the lesson we learn from this story?
(A) A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush (灌木).
(B) Two wrongs don’t make a right.
(C) Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.
(D) There’s no such thing as a free lunch.
