(5.1) Read the passage and answer the questions.
Search For Treasure
 There comes a time in every
boy's life when he suddenly has a strong desire to go somewhere and dig a hidden
treasure. This desire came upon Tom Sawyer one day. He went to look for Joe but
Joe failed to share this desire. Next, Tom looked for Ben but Ben went out
fishing. As Tom was walking back home, he stumbled upon
Huck who was all ears to Tom's idea. They went to a quiet place and discussed
the matter secretly. Huck was always willing to be part of anything exciting
because he was such a carefree boy. "Where will we dig?"
asked Huck. "Oh, almost everywhere." replied Tom.
"Why, are treasures hidden all around?" "No. Treasures are hidden in special places. Sometimes on
islands, sometimes in rotten chests under a dead old tree where the shadow falls
at midnight. But most of them are hidden in haunted houses." The last location gave Huck goose pimples but it made him even
more curious to learn about finding treasures. "Who
hides them?" "Robbers, of course. Who do you think?
Sunday school teachers?" As they talked, they became
more and more excited about treasure hunting. Both boys started to daydream what
they would do with the many treasures they might find.
