Not so __22__ anymore,I thought.I dashed over to the tree and looked into the hole.It was __23__ with pecans!Golden pecans were right there for taking.This was my __24__.Handful by handful,I scooped all of those pecans into my basket.Now it was full!I was so __25__ of myself.I couldn’t wait to show Grandpa all the pecans.__26__, I ran back and shouted,“Look at all the pecans!”He looked into the basket and said,“Well,well,how did you find so many?”I told him how I’d __27__ the squirrel and taken the pecans from his hiding place.
Grandpa congratulated me on how smart I’d been in observing the squirrel and his habits.Then he did something that __28__me.He handed the basket back to me and put his arm gently __29__ my shoulders.
“That squirrel worked very hard to gather his winter __30__ of food,” he said.“Now that all of his pecans are gone,don’t you think that little squirrel will __31__ the cold winter?”
“I didn’t think about that,”I said.
“I know,”Grandpa said.“But a good man should never take __32__ of someone else’s hard work.”
Suddenly I felt a bit __33__.The image of the starving squirrel wouldn’t __34__ my mind.There was only one thing I could do.I carried the basket back to the tree and poured all the nuts into the hole.

Ⅲ.阅读理解
A tent can be one of the more costly items on your camping equipment shopping list.It is definitely something that you need to consider carefully.
By seeing a tent for real you will be able to get a better impression of its size and construction in the traditional shop.However,the downside is that,unless you are experienced,you may miss out some of the details that the manufacturer’s promotional material makes clear.Cheap tents often look similar to the quality models they are mimicking(模仿),but you can be sure that they use inferior(次的) materials and probably have lower design standards.
Shop staff are often campers themselves.That means they usually can give lots of advice.If a shop assistant agrees with your own conclusions,that will be great;if they try to change your decision with a clear and reasonable argument,then that will be worth considering;if they just try to bamboozle(欺骗),or even bully,you then walk away.
The Internet is a wonderful tool,and so long as you know how to make the most of search engines and put in a little effort,you really have the perfect answer waiting to be found.That answer will be different for every camper as each of us has different needs.Don’t be surprised to see your favourite criticized somewhere,but if you see too much criticism,then you had better start thinking again.No problem.You won’t have spent anything yet,so think of it positively as a large expense saved.
Probably the best approach,if you have the time,is to research tents online and make a short list.Then try to inspect those tents at nearby shops.Then you can make a final decision on where to buy your chosen model based purely on total cost.
36.When you go camping,what you should consider most is________.
A.the shopping listB.the costly item
C.the tentD.the equipment
37.The underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 2 means “________”.

D.it is impolite for you to trouble shop assistants
39.You can make use of the Internet to________.
A.meet your different needsB.find the answer for every camper
C.help you out of troubleD.find your favourite tent
40.Which of the following would be the main idea of this passage?
A.It is good to buy your tent in the traditional shop.
B.You’d better buy a tent with the help of the Internet.
