小题5:根据Each thing in my creation has its own good qualities.，可知选F，不要奢求更多。
点评：这是一篇关于贪心的寓言，段落开头介绍了虽然上帝已经赐予马美丽和很多优点，但马仍然不知足，奢求更多，结果变成了骆驼，重点介绍了这样一个道理：每个事物都有自己的优点，要知足，不要贪得无厌。在答题中，应首先略读一下短文，了解一下短文的大致意思，然后把几个选项含义理解透，尤其注意意思相近，表达有交叉的选项之间的区别。然后再细读短文，把答案填入合适位置。答题时可以把含义相近的几个选项轮流填入同一处位置，反复阅读，反复体会，找出最佳选项，对于实在没有把握的小题可以留待最后完成。完成短文后，再认真通读一遍全文，看看上下语意是否通顺，是否符合逻辑关系。
