《2025年实验班提优训练暑假衔接七升八年级英语译林版》

五、阅读理解
Richard is the unluckiest boy in the world. He hardly ever falls ill(生病), but if he falls ill, it is on the weekend. He is a good student, but when he takes a test, his pen breaks. His bird sings very well, but when he asks his friends to listen to it, the bird becomes silent(沉默的).
But Richard thinks he is the luckiest boy in the world. He has wonderful parents and a lovely sister. He has a singing bird. His classmates are friendly. Richard is always happy and he is kind.
One day, his mother gave him some money to buy an ice cream. When he arrived at the ice cream shop, he saw an old man outside it. He had old clothes, terrible glasses, and he looked hungry. Richard thought he was poor. He decided not to buy the ice cream and gave the money to the man. “Thank you. You are a kind boy. But I’m not poor. Keep your money. I’m the richest(最富有的) man in town and I sometimes wear old clothes to see what people do,” the man said and gave the money back. The man took Richard to the biggest shop in town and said, “Choose anything you like. I can buy you the most expensive one.” Richard asked, “Can I choose two?” “Of course,” answered the man. Richard chose the newest radio because when his bird keeps silent, he can at least listen to it with his friends. He then chose a new pair of glasses for the man.
