五、阅读理解。〔人与社会——人际关系〕
Farmer John and Farmer Bob were neighbours. For more than 30 years，they had been good friends. One day，they were angry with each other because of little things. Then John found a stream(小溪）between the two farms. “It must be Bob，” John thought.
Then one day，a carpenter(木匠）knocked at John's door. “I'm looking for a few days' work，” the carpenter said. “I do have a job for you，” John said. “I want you to build a fence(栅栏）between the two farms. I don't want to see Bob's place or his face any more. I don't have such a neighbour!”
The carpenter said，“I think I know what to do，sir，and I'll be able to do a job that makes you happy.” After the carpenter had just finished his job，John's eyes opened wide. There was no fence there at all!
It was a bridge! And the neighbour，Bob，was coming across the bridge. He stretched out(伸出）his hands. “Hi，John! You're quite a fellow to build this bridge!”
Then they met in the middle，taking each other's hands. “I'm sorry for what I have done. We should be good to each other，” said Bob.
Then they turned to see the carpenter，who was ready to go. “No，wait! Stay for a few days. I have a lot of other jobs for you，” said John. “I'd love to stay，” the carpenter said. “But I have more bridges to build.”
