Joe Biggs was a butcher （屠夫）. His shop was in a village in one of the most beautiful parts of southern England. He worked in it for many years while his father was there. Then, when his father reached the age of 65, he stopped working in the shop. Joe was alone in it, so he had to work harder.
    Joe worked five and a half days a week. His shop shut at one o ' clock on Thursday, and it was shut the whole of Sunday. Saturdays were the busiest days.
    Joe had a big fridge in his shop, but he tried not to buy too much meat at a time.

One Thursday a woman came into the shop at five minutes to one. "I ' m sorry I ' m very late , " she said, " but some people have just telephoned to say that they are going to come to dinner tonight , and I need some more meat. "
    Joe only had one piece of good meat in the shop. He had sold all the rest earlier in the day. He took the piece out and said to the woman. " This is ￡7 15. "
" That piece is too small, " the woman answered. " Haven ' t you got anything bigger ? "

Joe went into the room behind his shop, opened the fridge, put the piece of meat into it, took it out again and shut the door of the fridge with a lot of noise. Then he brought the piece of meat back to the woman and said , " This piece is bigger and more expensive. It ' s ￡9. 30 ."

" Good, " the woman answered with a smile , " give me both of them , please."

閱讀理解

    閱讀下面的短文，然后根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容選擇最佳答案。

    Thousands of years ago，all people had to collect seeds and plants to eat. They did not know how to farm or keep animals for food．As they used stone tools and weapons(武器)then, we call them the Stone Age people.

    There are people who still live in places that are hard to reach. Because they have met few people from the outside world, they do not know about modern inventions. They have not traded ways of doing things with others．

    For 25,000 years, groups of people have lived alone in the middle of Australia. One of these

groups is the Arunta tribe(部落). They do not know how to farm, nor do they keep sheep or cows.

The Aruntas spend most of their time searching for food and water. The men hunt animals with stone-tipped spears(矛). The women and children look for roots, seeds, and nuts. They use  sticks to dig up the roots．Several Arunta families live together. They have no houses. At night,

they sleep around the small fires.

Now other peoples are moving into the centre of Australia. In time，the Aruntas will no longer

be Stone Age people.

(  ) (1) Thousands of years ago, people got food by_______

A．gathering plants and seeds    B．raising animals

C．going to the store           D．growing crops on farms

(  )(2) From the passage we can know that______．

A．people in old Australia didn’t use stone tools．

B．the Aruntas do not like to hunt

C．everyone in Australia lives in large cities

D．the Aruntas don’t know much about modern inventions

(  )(3)The Arunta women and children dig up the roots with________．

A．stones    B．spears    C．sticks     D．their hands

(  )(4)On the whole, this story is about______．

A．stone-tipped spears

 B．the Amntas live in modern homes

C．the Arunta tribe

 D．other ways of doing things

(  ) (5) Why do the Aruntas still live in the way they do?

A．Because they have not yet learned new ways from other people．

B．Because they do not want to change their way of living．

C．Because other people are moving in and living with the Aruntas．

D．Because they don’t want to learn new ways from other people．
