二、阅读理解
A
Long long ago, there was a crowd of antelopes(羚羊) in the forest. In this crowd there was a wise teacher. He was admired by everyone because he taught the young the tricks and strategies of survival(生存策略)．
One day, his younger sister brought her son to him and asked him to teach what was important to antelopes. She said, “Dear brother, this is my son, Dick. Please teach him the tricks and strategies of survival.” The teacher said to Dick, “You can come at this time tomorrow for your first lesson.”
At first, Dick came to have lessons on time every day. But soon, Dick became more interested in playing games with others, so he began to cut classes. However, he didn't realize how dangerous it could be for a young antelope who learned nothing but games.
Unfortunately, one day the young antelope stepped in a trap(陷阱). Knowing Dick was missing, his mother was worried. She went to her brother and asked him, “My brother, how is my son? Have you taught him the tricks and strategies of survival？” The teacher replied, “My dear sister, I tried my best to teach him, but your son did not want to learn the tricks and strategies of survival. He cut classed. How could I possibly teach him？”
At this time, they heard that Dick was caught in a trap. They hurried to rescue him before it was too late. Dick was too scared to move and regretted deeply.
If the young antelope had kept learning carefully all the time, he wouldn't have been caught.

(2018·广西梧州中考)It's hard to avoid looking like a fool on April Fool's Day. On April 1st each year, people play tricks on each other. Classmates sometimes tie each other's shoelaces(鞋带) to their chairs. Teachers might hand out an impossibly difficult surprise test that makes students feel scared before they realize it's only a joke. Newspapers report on fake news (like “UFO” lands in New York City) and announce fake contests (such as “Win an elephant！”)．
One April Fool's Day, when I was in high school, a group of students in my class played a very clever and funny trick on the teachers. They bought some chickens and set them free in our school cafeteria(自助餐厅). The chickens ran all round the school, in and out of classrooms and under our feet. Feathers(羽毛) were flying everywhere. Teachers began running after the chickens, trying to catch them. Finally, they caught four of them. But the chickens were wearing numbered tags(标签) around their necks, and the teachers discovered that they had only caught chickens No. 1, 2, 3 and 5.Where was chicken No. 4? The teachers looked and looked. They couldn't find another chicken. After a few hours, they realized that the students had played another joke on them: There were only four chickens in the first place! They've been tricked by the numbers on the chickens. It's been a long time since I was in high school, but that April Fool's Day remains one of my favorite memories from those years.
