In a small village，there lived a man. He would do nothing all day but daydream. Whenever he was hungry，he would go out，beg for(乞讨)food，come back and hang around.
One sunny afternoon，he was very hungry. With great difficulty，he got up，took out a bowl and went out to beg. By begging the whole day, he finally got a pot full of milk. He hung(悬挂)this pot on the ceiling，lay down on his bed and started daydreaming again.
“This pot of milk is going to make me rich,” he thought. “I can make butter from the milk.Then I will be able to make ghee(印度酥油)and go to the market and sell the ghee , ” his dream continued. “With the money I get, I will buy a pair of goats. They will have kids after six months.Soon I would have a large number of goats.”
“Then I will buy some more cows and own a farmhouse. I will start a dairy(奶制品)farm.Once I have much money I will open a sweet shop in the middle of the village. I will make sweets out of the cow's milk，”the man kept smiling to himself.“How smart I am!”he thought. Lost in his thoughts, he kicked out his foot, broke the pot and drenched(弄湿)himself in milk.

Sure, it's good to get along well with(相处融洽)your teachers because it makes the time more pleasant in the classroom.
And yes，it's good to get along well with your teachers because it's smart to learn how to get along well with different kinds of people you'll meet in your life.
In fact，if kids get along well with their teachers, they will not only learn more， but also feel more comfortable about asking questions and getting more help. This makes it easier for them to learn about new things and do their best on tests. If you have this kind of relationship(关系)with a teacher, you can turn to him or her with problems in school.
It is true that teachers want to get along well with you and enjoy seeing you learn. But teachers and students sometimes have personality clashes(个性冲突)，it can happen between any two people. If you show your teacher that you want to make the situation(情况)better, he or she will probably do everything possible to make that happen. By helping with a problem like this，you learn something about how to get along with different people.
However, if a certain teacher isn't your favorite，you can still have a successful relationship with him or her, especially if you finish your duties(责任)as a student.
49. According to the passage，getting along well with your teachers will make you . A. get the best scores in the exams B. have more pleasant time in the classroom C. have no problems with study D. get a better seat in the classroom 50. The underlined word \"that\" in the fourth paragraph means .
A. the personality clashes B. getting along very well with classmates C. a better relationship between you and your teacher D. the happy time in the classroom 51. In the passage，the writer mainly talks about . A. how to finish your duties as a student
B. how to make the time in the classroom more pleasant C. how much the students want to get along with teachers D. the importance of a good relationship with teachers
C
You love reading, but you've read all your books four times, and are tired of reading the same ones. You're planning to go to the library，but don't know what kind of books to get. With the right knowledge(知识)，it's easy to choose a good book! Answer these questions first. What are your interests? Type your hobbies into your library catalog search. By doing this, you will find books that you might like. Search your house next. Often good books are quietly collecting dust(灰层)in your own house. Maybe you forget about one，or someone who is living with you has some good books. Also by searching your house, you can find some books that you can read, and they won't even cost you any money.
Then join a book club，please. Being a book club member is often a way to experience(体验)new books with other members. Joining a book club or setting up a book club helps you know who else likes the same books as you，you can also read and discuss the books with others.
Finally，read the first part of each book. Of course，if you have many books, this can be time-consuming. Reading the first part of a book can help you know what books and types of books that you like，and you won't have a hard time looking for books again. 52. This article is mainly written to help you .
