（一）阅读故事节选，选择最合适的选项。
Long long ago, there was a piece of common(普通的,常见的) firewood. One day, it came to the shop of an old carpenter(木匠), Mastro Cherry.
Mastro Cherry was very happy. He wanted to make a table leg with it. But as he lifted his arm to hit the wood, he heard a little voice, “Please be careful! Do not hit me so hard!” Surprising, isn't it? He looked around the room but found no one. Thinking something might be wrong with his ears, he tried to work again.
He struck(敲打) another blow on the wood. “Oh, oh! You hurt me!” cried the same little voice. Mastro Cherry felt afraid and wondered if someone was hidden in the wood. To test this, he knocked on it against the walls and waited. Minutes passed, but nothing happened. Trying bravely to laugh, he sang a merry song to get power(力量), and worked on.
Suddenly(突然地), the voice cried again, “Stop it! Oh, stop it! You tickle my stomach.” Poor Mastro Cherry fell down in fear. When he opened his eyes, he found himself sitting on the floor.
