Once upon a time there was a Goose who had beautiful golden feathers. Not far away from this Goose lived a very, very poor woman who had two daughters. The Goose saw that they had a hard time getting along and said to himself:“If I give them one after another of my golden feathers, the mother can sell them, and with the money they bring she and her daughters can then live in comfort.”So away the Goose flew to the poor woman’s house. Seeing the Goose, the woman said:“Why do you come here? We have nothing to give you.”“But I have something to give you,” said the Goose. “I will give you my feathers, one by one, and you can sell them for enough money so that you and your daughters can live in comfort.”So saying this the Goose gave her one of his feathers, and then flew away. From time to time he came back, each time leaving another feather. The mother and her daughters sold the beautiful feathers for enough money to keep them in comfort. But one day the mother said to her daughters:“Let us not trust this Goose. Some day he may fly away and never come back. Then we should be poor again. Let us get all of his feathers the very next time he comes.”The daughters said: “This will hurt the Goose. We will not do such a thing.”But the mother was greedy.

Read this passage from Henry David Thoreau's Walden:When the ground was not yet quite covered, and again near the end of winter, when the snow was melted on my south hill side and about my wood-pile, the partridges came out of the woods morning and evening to feed there. Whichever side you walk in the woods the partridge bursts away on whirring wings, jarring the snow from the dry leaves and twigs on high, which comes sifting down in the sunbeams like golden dust; for this brave bird is not to be scared by winter. It is frequently covered up by drifts, and, it is said, "sometimes plunges from on wing into the soft snow, where it remains concealed for a day or two." I used to start them in the open land also, where they had come out of the woods at sunset to "bud" the wild apple trees. They will come regularly every evening to particular trees, where the cunning sportsman lies in wait for them, and the distant orchards next the woods suffer thus not a little. I am glad that the partridge gets fed, at any rate. It is Nature's own bird which lives on buds and diet drink.1Which statement best summarizes the passage?A.The local partridges like to feed near the narrator's woodpile.B.Local partridges are undeterred by the harshness of winter and manage to find food in any circumstances.C.Winters are very harsh at Walden Pond, and all the wildlife is affected by the cold weather.D.Sneaky sportsmen lie waiting in the woods to hunt partridges.
