LISTENING COMPREHENSION TEST

Many years ago an elephant and a monkey had a quarrel. The elephant was proud because he was strong.

“Look how big and strong I am,” he said. “I can pull a tree down. Can you?”

Now the monkey was proud because he was so quick.

“Look how quickly I can run and climb,” he said. “Can you climb a tree?”

At last they decided to go and speak to the Old Bird.

“We cannot agree,” they told the Bird, “tell us what you think about it. Which is better – to be strong or to be quick?”

The Old Bird said to them: “Do as I tell you and then I’ll learn which is better. Do you see that great tree across the river? Go and get the fruit from it and bring it to me.”

So they went to the river, but the monkey was afraid of the water.

“Get on my back,” said the elephant proudly. “I will carry you. I am big and strong and I am not afraid to swim across the river.”

There on the bank stood the tree. It was so high that the fruit was above them. The elephant tried to pull the tree down, but it was too strong.

“Wait a minute,” said the monkey proudly. “I can climb.”

He ran quickly up the tree and threw the fruit to the, ground. The elephant put it in his great mouth. Then they crossed the river again and gave the fruit to the Old Bird.

“Now,” they said, “which is better — to be strong or to be quick?”

“Can anybody tell which is better?” asked the Old Bird. The elephant could not get the fruit alone. The monkey could not get the fruit alone. But you could get it together. One of you crossed the river, the other climbed up the tree.”

The Boy who Saved the Netherlands.

Many years ago in Harlem, Holland, there lived a young boy. His name was Hans and he was eight years old. One autumn day, Hans went across the channel  to visit an old blind man. He took the man some biscuits and stayed there for a while. Then,       Hans decided to return home.

“Be careful, Hans” said the old man. “The water in the canal usually gets higher in autumn.” On his way home, Hans sang a song, watched the rabbits run around and picked some flowers for his mother. Suddenly, the sky got dark and heavy rain began to fall. Hans felt scared and started to run. Just then, he heard the sound of water flowing away .He looked around carefully, and then noticed a very small hole in the dike.

Hans felt frightened because he knew what could happen. The small hole could get bigger and bigger. Then the dike could burst and flood Holland. Hans knew what to do. He put his finger into the hole, so no more water cold come through it. “Please, someone help me!” Hans shouted. But there was no one to help him. After a while, he began to feel very cold and tired, but he could not leave the dike. All night long, Hans waited and waited…

The next morning, a priest walked by and heard Hans’ cries. “I am trying to stop the water,” the boy said. “Can you help me?” the priest called some other people and they quickly mended the hole. Finally, they took Hans home. Everyone was very proud of that brave boy.

AN ARAB AND HIS SONS

Far to the East there lived in old days an Arab who had three sons, whom he dearly loved. He had seventeen beautiful horses whom he loved.

One day the old man became very ill. Feeling that the end was near, he called his sons to give one – half of his horses, to the second son – one third, and to the youngest – one-ninth.

The sons met to divide the horses but they didn’t know how to divide them.

“How can I take one half of seventeen horses?” said the eldest son. “1 can’t divide a living horse in two. “And how can I,” asked the second, “take one third of seventeen horses? But this is what my father wanted me to do”.

“I also want to do what my father wanted us to. But what is one ninth of seventeen horses?”

At that time an old man came riding on a horse. “May be he can tell us”, they said hopefully. They told their story to him.

The man began to think. Several minutes passed before he spoke. At last he said, “Take my horse and there will be eighteen”.

They did so. The elder son took one half of the horses. Then the second son called the horses, which he loved best, and the six animals came running to him. And the youngest son took two horses. The sons said lo the man: “You divided the horses wonderfully. Say what you want us to give you for it”.

“I shall take all the horses that are left”, said the old man and he rode away with his own horse.
