Many people will certainly say the boy is very smart.They are wrong!Because if he doesn't know fishing skills,he can't catch fish with a fishing rod.It's useless to only have a fishing rod.Fishing skills are more important than having a fishing rod.
Many people want to have a "fishing rod" in their life,just like the boy.They thought that if they had a fishing rod,they would have fish to eat.Life is full of exciting things.We should try to learn fishing skills instead of having a fishing rod.

Many people work best later in the morning.This is because the body's temperature takes time to rise through the day.But everyone's body clock is different and some are special.Morning people will get up early and work better early in the day.Evening people will work later but work better towards the end of the day.
Research shows that we're better at some activities at certain times of the day.Physical performance (体能) is at its best between three o'clock and six o'clock in the afternoon,so it's better to exercise later in the day.Between noon and 4:00 pm,people begin to pay less attention.This is because we think less quickly after a big meal.Research also shows we become sleepy around 2:00 pm.This is why people in Spain take a short sleep in the early afternoon.
Finally,it is best to eat something during our activities.This can help our body to burn calories (卡路里) better and stops our blood sugar levels (血糖) from getting too high.

【分析】短文主要讲述了一个男人钓鱼时遇到一个可爱的男孩。男孩不要他的鱼,而是想要他手中的钓鱼竿。男人问为什么,男孩回答说他可以用钓鱼竿自己捕鱼。文章告诉我们,拥有钓鱼竿并不重要,重要的是学会钓鱼技巧。
【解答】(1)细节理解题。根据第一段One day,a man was fishing on the bank of a river.(一天,一个人在河岸上钓鱼。)可知,一天,一个人在河岸上钓鱼。故选C。
(2)细节理解题。根据第一段The man thought the boy was very cute,and he wanted to give him a whole basket of fish.(这个男人觉得这个男孩很可爱,他想送给他一整篮子鱼。)可知,那个男人看到那个男孩时想把所有的鱼都给他。故选B。
(3)词义猜测题。根据第四段 "I will eat up all the fish in the basket soon,but if I have the fishing rod,I can use it to catch a lot of fish by myself."("我很快就会把篮子里的鱼都吃光,但如果我有鱼……,我可以用它自己钓很多鱼。")可猜测出,下划线单词的意思应是:竿子。故选C。
(4)细节理解题。根据第五段 Many people will certainly say the boy is very smart.They are wrong!Because if he doesn't know fishing skills,he can't catch fish with a fishing rod.It's useless to only have a fishing rod.Fishing skills are more important than having a fishing rod.(很多人肯定会说这个男孩很聪明。他们错了!因为如果他不懂钓鱼技巧,他就不能用鱼竿捕鱼。只有鱼竿是没有用的。钓鱼技巧比有鱼竿更重要。)可知,在作者看来,故事中的男孩并不聪明。故选A。
(5)主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其根据最后一段We should try to learn fishing skills instead of having a fishing rod.(我们应该试着学习钓鱼技巧,而不是有鱼竿。)可知,这篇文章主要告诉我们钓鱼竿不如钓鱼技巧重要。故选B。
