“Please take my penny(便士)，” Maggie said to old Dan, the fisherman, who sat on a bench repairing his nets. “Please take it，” she said again. Old Dan smiled, and took it. “Thank you, little girl，” he said.

After that, Maggie went to the beach to collect sea shells. She never thought how fast time went by. Two hours later, she sat down on a rock beside a little pool, and Dan's large dog Rover jumped down from a rock! He made a loud noise, and then began to pull her coat gently. “Rover wishes me to leave here, I see，” she said, and she rose from the rock and began to go home. However, she found the places she had got down easily was now very difficult to climb up, and because the tide(潮水) had been in for some time, she found some of the stones wet and smooth.

What could poor Maggie do? She felt sad and cried, but the tide made a much louder noise than she could make. Rover jumped upon a big stone and raised his loud bark until even the tide could not drown(淹沒) it. Finally, Dan heard the loud barking of the dog. He came in a boat and brought Maggie and Rover safely to the land!

“It was the penny that did it, Madam，” Dan said to Maggie's mother later. “I saw Rover looking at her when she put the penny so kindly into my hand—just as if he would have said, ‘Rover will be your friend now, little girl.’ And I am thinking he has looked after her all day, because he never came near me after that.”

Some years later, Rover came to Maggie's home with a little note, in which was written—“Will Maggie help Rover？—his master is dead.”

Enjoying Dinner with Friends in America

Americans, like many people elsewhere in the world, like to invite friends to their homes for an evening of food, drink and conversation. Formal dinners, in fine homes and hotels in the United States are much the same as formal dinners anywhere in the world. But as most people in the United States have no servants (傭人) , their dinner parties at home are mostly informal. Guests may sit down at a table, or, as many new small homes have no separate (單獨的) dining room or very small dining space, guests can also serve themselves and eat in the living room, holding their plates on their knees.

A more enjoyable form of entertainment is the picnic. Americans are great picnickers, and almost every family has a picnic basket. Summer invitations are often for a picnic at a park or in the open countryside. Unless hamburgers or hot dogs are cooked over a fire, picnic food is usually cold sandwiches, salads, potato chips, etc. Watermelon is a favourite dessert, followed very often by baseball for the young and active, and naps (打盹) for the weary (疲憊的； 困乏的)．

1.What do most Americans like to do?

A. To entertain friends at home with food and drink.

B. To invite friends to some fine homes.

C. To spend an evening with friends in the country.

2.Why do most Americans prefer informal parties?

A. Because they have no servants to help them.

B. Because their houses are too small to hold formal dinner parties.

C. Because it takes them too much time to prepare formal parties.

3.Where do guests sit and eat at informal dinner?

A. At a table in the dinning room.

B. In the living room.

C. Both A and B.

4.According to the passage, what do people usually NOT have for a picnic?

A. Cooked food. B. Hot food. C. Cold food.

5.Why is the picnic said to be a more enjoyable form of entertainment?

A. Because people can be closer to nature.

B. Because a dessert is served.

C. Because the whole family can have it together.
