　　A Different Roast Every Day

中考英语阅读理解训练题：A Different Roast

　　Alan worked in an office in the city. He worked very hard and really wanted to take a holiday. He usually went to the seaside, but one day he saw an ad(广告) in a newspaper. " Enjoy country life. Spend a few weeks at Willow Farm. Good food, fresh air, horse riding, walking, fishing. Good prices (价格)."

　　"This sounds like a good idea," he thought. "I'll spend a month at Willow Farm. I'll enjoy horse riding, walking and fishing. They'll make a change from sitting by the seaside." Four days later he returned home.

　　"What's wrong with Willow Farm?" his friend Jack asked him. " Didn't you enjoy country life?" "Country life was fine," Alan said, "but there was another problem."

　　"Oh, what?"

　　"Well, the first day I was there a sheep died, and we had roast mutton (烤羊肉) for dinner." "Fresh meat is the best."

　　"I know, but on the second day a cow died, and we had roast beef for dinner." "Lucky you!"

　　"You don't understand," Alan said. "On the third day a pig died and we had roast pork for dinner."

　　"A different roast every day," Jack said.

　　" Let me finish," Alan said, " on the fourth day the farmer died and I didn't dare to stay for dinner!"
