The first tears
One day, First Man went to the seashore to hunt seals. He saw many seals there. After he picked one, he started to move behind it.
Man was careful not to make too much noise. He was also careful not to let the seal see him. Because of that, he could get close to it.
When Man was about to reach the seal, it slid into the sea. So, he just picked another seal and repeated his actions. However, the same thing happened—the seal got away.
Man did that again and again, but the seals always got away. In the end, there was only one seal on the seashore. Man didn’t want it to get away, so he was really quiet.
However, when he started to move, the seal slid into the sea. Man stood up after that. Then, he got a strange feeling in his chest.
Suddenly, water started to come from his eyes. Also, loud cries came from his mouth. Those actions surprised Man because they never happened before.
Man hurried home, but the water and loud cries didn’t stop. Man’s son saw him on the road near home. So, he called to his mother and his wife.
He told them about Man’s strange noise. When Man got home, his family was surprised. They never saw him like that before.
Man told them about the seals. Then, they had a strange feeling in their chests and water in their eyes. They also joined Man’s loud cries. That day, people learned to cry for the first time.

Bunny the rabbit lived in the forest. He had many friends. He was proud of his friends.
One day Bunny the rabbit heard the loud barking(吠叫) of wild dogs. He was very scared and decided to ask for help. He quickly went to his friend the deer. He said, "Dear friend, some wild dogs are chasing(追赶) me. Can you chase them away with your sharp antlers(鹿角)?"
The deer said, "That is right, I can. But now I am busy. Why don't you ask the bear for help?"
Bunny ran to the bear. "My dear friend, you are very strong. Please help me. Some wild dogs are after me. Please chase them away," he begged(乞求) the bear.
The bear said, "I am sorry. I am hungry and tired. I need to find some food. Please ask the monkey for help."
Poor Bunny went to the monkey, the elephant and the goat. Bunny felt sad that nobody was ready to help him.
He understood that he had to think of a way out by himself. He hid under a bush and lay(平躺) very still. The wild dogs did not find Bunny. They went chasing other animals.
Bunny the rabbit finally made it, not depending on his unhelpful friends.

解析
【分析】
这是两篇英语故事类阅读理解题，解题思路为：先通读原文理解故事内容，针对每个问题回到原文定位对应信息，细节题直接查找原文细节作答，主旨题结合故事核心内容或结尾归纳道理。第一篇围绕人类第一次哭泣的缘由展开，第二篇讲述兔子Bunny求助朋友被拒后靠自己脱险的经历，需按问题类型对应处理。
【解析】
第一篇：
1. 问题问First Man的情况，定位原文“Those actions surprised Man because they never happened before.”，可知他之前从未经历过哭泣，不懂悲伤情绪；
2. 问题问Man哭的原因，定位原文“Man did that again and again, but the seals always got away... the seal slid into the sea.”，可知他反复抓海豹均失败，最后只剩的海豹也逃脱，感到失望难过，因此哭泣。
第二篇：
1. 问题问拒绝帮忙的动物数量及名称，定位原文Bunny求助的朋友：deer、bear、monkey、elephant、goat，共5个，均拒绝帮忙；
2. 问题问故事道理，定位原文最后一句“not depending on his unhelpful friends”，归纳得出要依靠自己，不要依赖不帮忙的朋友。
