He soon fell asleep. Mouse came along and climbed on top of Lion. She ran up and down Lion’s back. “This is fun!” said Mouse. Lion woke up. “Who is running along my back when I am trying to sleep?” he said angrily. He put his huge paw on Mouse. “I am going to eat you, so you will not wake me up again,” said Lion. He opened his mouth wide. Mouse looked at Lion’s big, sharp teeth. “Please do not eat me!” said Mouse. “If you let me go, someday I might be able to help you.” Lion laughed and laughed. “How could a tiny mouse ever help a big lion?” he said. “I will let you go because you made me laugh.” He lifted his huge paw and let Mouse go. The very next day, some hunters caught Lion. They wanted to put Lion in a zoo. The hunters used thick rope (绳子) to tie Lion to a tree. Then they went to get a car to carry Lion to the zoo. Mouse came along and saw Lion tied to a tree. “What am I going to do?” said Lion. “Some hunters are going to put me in a zoo.” Mouse started to bite the thick rope with its sharp teeth and set Lion free. “I was wrong,” Lion said to Mouse. “I’m so sorry for looking down on you before. Now I know that even the smallest can be a big help to me.” After that, Lion and Mouse were best friends. 1．Did the lion believe the mouse could help him at first? 2．Why did the lion let the mouse go? 3．How did the mouse save the lion? 4．What can we learn from the story? 阅读短文，根据短文内容，完成下列各题。 Once upon a time, there lived a tiger in the forest. He was the king of the animals. He asked the animals to build a palace for him. When the palace was almost finished, the tiger wanted to know how it looked. He asked a cat to check his palace. A few hours later, the cat returned and said, “My dear king, your palace is large, tall and beautiful.” The tiger was very happy. Several days later, the tiger asked a pig to take a look at his palace. When the pig came back, he said to the tiger, “My king, your palace is beautiful, but it is only big enough for you.” The tiger then asked an elephant to have a look. Soon, the elephant came back and said, “Oh, my king, your palace is too small for you to live in comfortably.” Hearing this, the tiger was very surprised. “Why are their answers not the same?” he thought. The king became angry and said, “Someone among you must be lying (撒谎). I’ll kill you.” Just then, a fox stopped the tiger and advised him to go and see the palace by himself. After seeing the palace, the tiger realized that nobody told a lie. Because of their different sizes, the three animals had different ideas about the same palace. The tiger finally understood that seeing with one’s eyes is more important than just hearing from others. 1．What did the cat think of the palace? 2．How did the tiger feel after hearing the elephant’s answer? 3．What does the story tell us? 4．What do you think of the story? Why? Alice nibbled a little mushroom in her right hand. Instantly, she shrank. So she took a bite from the left-hand piece. This time, her head was as high as the tallest tree in the wood and her neck was in an immense length. A sea of green leaves was below her. Suddenly, a large pigeon flew into her face and beat her face with its wings, screaming, “Serpent!” “I’m not a serpent!” said Alice. “Serpent, I say again!” repeated the pigeon angrily. “Three weeks, I’ve tried every way to guard my nest from serpents like you!” “I’m sorry you’ve been annoyed,” said Alice rather doubtfully, “But I—I’m just a little girl.” “But you’re looking for eggs. I know that well enough.” said the pigeon. “But I’m not looking for eggs.” said Alice hastily, “I don’t even like raw eggs.” “Well, be off.” said the pigeon, returning into its nest. After a while, she remembered she still held the mushroom in her hands. She nibbled at one and then the other—growing taller sometimes and shorter sometimes. She didn’t stop trying until she succeeded in being her right height, about two feet tall. “Much better,” she said to herself, “Now I must find that garden.” She walked through the wood, with a little house in it about four feet high. 1．How could Alice become shorter? 2．What did the pigeon think Alice was? 3．How tall did Alice finally become? 4．What did Alice want to find? 5．What might happen next in the story? “You!” said the Caterpillar coldly, “Who are you?” Alice replied, rather shyly, “I—I hardly know, sir, just at present—at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I have been changed several times since then.” She felt cross and decided to leave. “Come back!” the Caterpillar called. “I’ve something important to say!” This sounded promising, so Alice turned back. “Keep your temper,” said the Caterpillar. “Is that all?” asked Alice, trying not to be angry. “No,” said the Caterpillar. It puffed away without speaking. At last it took the hookah out of its mouth and said, “So you think you’re changed, do you? How tall do you want to be?” “A little taller, please.” said Alice. “Three inches is such a wretched height.” In silence, the Caterpillar smoked its hookah. Then it got down off the mushroom, saying, “One side will make you grow taller, and the other will make you grow shorter.” “One side of what?” thought Alice to herself. “Of the mushroom.” said the Caterpillar, as if she had asked it aloud. Alice looked at the round mushroom carefully. “No sides at all!” she said to herself. At last she broke off a piece from each side. She ate a little bit of the piece in her left hand nervously. 1．How did Alice feel when the Caterpillar told her to keep her temper? 2．How tall did Alice want to be? 3．What could the mushroom do to people? 4．Did the mushroom have two sides? 5．Why did Alice feel nervous when eating the mushroom? Once, a father and his son went to a kite-flying festival. The son was very excited to see all the colorful kites in the sky and asked his father to buy him one. To make him happy, the father went to a shop at the park and bought one. The son started flying his kite excitedly. Soon it reached high up in the sky. After some time, the son thought to himself, “It seems like the string (绳子) is stopping the kite from flying higher. If I break it, the kite will be free to fly even higher.” So he asked his father for a small knife and cut the string. Without the string, the kite did go a little bit higher. However, it soon started to come down and fell on a tall tree. The son was sad. He expected that the kite would fly higher after he cut the string, not fall down. He turned to his father for an explanation. “Well, the string wasn’t holding the kite down. It was actually helping it stay up when the wind was quiet and guiding it in the right direction (方向) when the wind picked up,” the father explained. “When we cut the string, the kite lost that support (支持) and fell down. Similarly, in life, limits (限制) such as school rules may seem strict, but they protect us and create a better environment for learning. 1．Why did the son cut the string of the kite? 2．What happened after the son cut the string? 3．What does the kite’s string stand for (代表) according to the story? 4．Can you think of another example that seems strict but helpful, besides (除了) school rules? A long time ago, a man named Pang Gong from the State of Wei was going to the State of Zhao. Before leaving, Pang felt there was still something he needed to tell the king of Wei. He came to the king and said, “My king, if someone says a tiger appears in the market, will you believe it?” The king said, “You must be joking. How could I believe such a thing? We haven’t seen a tiger there for many years.” Pang said, “If two people say there’s a tiger, will you believe it?” The king said no and he couldn’t believe others easily. Pang kept on, “What if three people all come and say there’s a tiger?” The king said, “Then I might believe it.” Pang said, “My king, you know that there can’t be a tiger in the market. Just because three people say so, you choose to believe it. Now I will be away for three years. If some people tell bad stories about me, can you find the truth then?” As soon as Pang left the State of Wei, many people who didn’t like Pang told the king that Pang Gong was a bad person. Three years later, when Pang came back, the king didn’t want to see him because he believed other people’s bad words. “My king should find the truth after thinking it over,” said Pang with sadness. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 1．Where was Pang Gong going at the beginning of the story? 2．Who did Pang Gong have something to tell before leaving? 3．Why would the king believe there was a tiger in the market? 4．How long was Pang Gong away from the State of Wei? 5．What should the king do when Pang Gong wanted to see him finally? 根据短文内容，按要求回答问题。 A lion ruled (统治) over a forest. One day, the lion went out to look for food. On his way, he saw a big cave (洞穴), and thought to himself, “It is for sure that some animal must be living in this big cave. I will hide inside the cave and wait for my dinner to arrive.” The cave was home to a jackal (豺). The jackal came back later and he noticed the footprints (足迹) of the lion leading into the cave, but could not find any footprints coming out. He thought, “If there is a lion in the cave, I will be dead as soon as I come in.” The jackal thought of a plan and began to shout, “Hello, Cave! Can I come inside?” He waited for a while and shouted again, “Hello, Cave! Did you forget our rule? Every day, you answer me before I come in. Why are you quiet today? I will then go to another cave if you do not reply.” On hearing this, the lion thought, “The cave must reply to the jackal when he returns. It is because I am inside that the cave is not replying today. I must invite him to come in on behalf of (代表) the cave, or the jackal will go away.” So, the lion replied from inside the cave, “Hello, Jackal, you may come in. It is safe inside.” The jackal at once ran away as fast as he could and saved himself. 1．Why did the lion hide in the cave? 2．What did the jackal find before going into his cave? 3．What did the jackal think would happen to him if a lion was in the cave? 4．Why did the lion reply on behalf of the cave? 5．What do you think of the jackal? Long ago, there lived a king. He was quite lazy. He never carried out his duties (职责). His people complained about this. One day, the king went into the forest to hunt. After some time, he became thirsty. To his surprise, he came to a lake. As he drank from the lake, he saw a swan (天鹅) land on a rock nearby. “I should catch the swan!” he thought. But as soon as he held up his bow (弓), the swan was gone. Then the king heard a voice, “I am the swan. If you want to catch me, you must come to heaven.” Surprised, the king said, “Please show me the way to heaven.” “Do good deeds, serve your people and a messenger from heaven (天堂) will come to you,” the voice replied. With this in mind, the king dressed up himself and went out into the streets. He tried to give some money to a poor old man. But the old man was angry and said, “Do you know why I’m like this? It’s because of our king! He has done nothing for us.” Suddenly, the king heard the swan’s voice. “It seems that you’re doing good only because you want to go to heaven. That’s selfish. You must do good out of the goodness of your heart,” the swan said. The king realized that this was true. After that, he became a responsible king and realized that making his kingdom a happy place to live was like making a heaven of his own. 根据短文内容回答下列问题。 1．What did the king want to do when he first saw the swan? 2．How could the king go to heaven? 3．In the old man’s mind, who made him so poor? 4．Did the king accept the swan’s advice? 5．What kind of person did the king become in the end? 重难语篇练习 根据短文内容回答下列问题。 Once upon a time there lived a farmer. He earned money by selling the products from his farm. He gave all his money to the poor people. So, the whole village respected him. But he had a big problem in his farm. Whenever he spread seeds (种子) in his farm, the crows (乌鸦) would come and eat them up. He was worried about this trouble as he got less money from his farm. “I must do something about these crows. I will be in deep trouble if I do not stop these crows,” he thought. He complained about this problem to his friends. They gave him an idea to get rid of the crows. “Go to the town and buy a large net. Trap (设陷捕获) the crows in the net with some grains (谷粒).” So the next day, the farmer bought a net and some grains. He placed the net on the farm and spread the grain over it. Then he went away and hid himself. Soon the crows came to the fields to pick the grains. They shouted, “More grains! That farmer is indeed a fool, he does not seem to learn,” the farmer was standing over the crows. “Aha! Finally, I have got you all. For the loss you have caused me, I will put you all to death.” Suddenly the farmer heard a weak voice among the noises of the crows. There was a pigeon (鸽子) among the crows. Both the pigeon and the bad crows were in the net. The pigeon said, “Mr. Farmer, please let me go. You are angry with the crows, not with me.” The farmer said, “But you too have been caught stealing from my farm. I will not let you go,” said the farmer.

The man was called Agathon, which in Greek means “good and kind.” Agathon was a miller (磨坊主), and he worked hard at his mill every day. The boy was called Tebelis. Most boys liked to be active playing with their friends and even helping at home. Tebelis liked none of these things. Instead, he liked to sleep. He slept in the morning, in the afternoon, and in the evening. People said Tebelis was the laziest boy in all of Greece. In fact, his very name meant “lazy.” Summer turned to fall, and people began bringing their grain to Agathon’s mill. Agathon placed the grain on a large, flat stone. He placed another stone, called a millstone, on top. He then tied a cow to the millstone. As the cow turned the millstone, the grain turned into soft flour (面粉). Some said that Agathon’s flour was the finest in the land. One morning, Agathon took a trip to visit a friend. He left Tebelis in charge of the mill. “Take care, my son,” Agathon said before he left. “Watch the cow carefully. She can be lazy, just like you. Make sure she keeps working.” Tebelis watched the cow. At first, she turned the millstone quickly. Then she started moving slower, slower, slower. Finally, she stopped moving. The cow seemed tired and sick. “Well,” Tebelis smiled, “I suppose that’s enough work for one day.” He lay down on the ground and closed his eyes. Suddenly, Alexander, the King of Greece and his men came, they asked Tebelis to mill some grain. Unluckily, Tebelis’s cow was sick. But Alexander smiled. “I’m sure you will think of something. This afternoon, you will have grain, and you will have one week to mill it.” He bowed deeply as the king and his men hurried away. Then he sat on the ground, shaking, tears filling his eyes. All day, Tebelis replayed the scene over and over in his mind. “There must be an answer,” he said to himself, but he knew the situation was hopeless. Finally, Tebelis had an idea and he built a watermill. The watermill was a great success. In just a few days, they managed to mill each and every basket of Alexander’s grain. 1．Why did people think Tebelis was the laziest boy in all of Greece before? 2．How did Agathon make flour at first? 3．How did Tebelis feel when the king ordered him to mill all the grain in a week? Why? 4．What did Tebelis do to solve the problem? 5．What do you think of Tebelis?
