Once there was a king. He liked to write stories. He thought his
stories were good, so he liked to show them to his people. As
his people were afraid to criticize(批评) the king’s stories, they
all said that his stories were very good. One day, the king
showed some of his best stories to a famous writer. He wanted
the writer to praise(表扬) those stories. But the writer said his
stories were so bad that he should throw them into the fire.
The king got very angry with him and sent him to prison(监
狱). After some time the king had pity on the writer and set him
free. When the writer returned from prison, the king ordered
him to come to his palace. Again he showed him some of his
new stories and asked him what he thought of them. After
them,reading
the writer at once turned to the soldier and said, “Take
me back to prison, please.”

Last May I stayed in Santo Lusa for a week. That was my
first trip there. One morning I set out to visit a famous

strange and asked, “ Excuse me, does this street lead(通向)
to the Grand Museum?”
“Yes,” he answered. “Go along this street and turn left and
turn left at the second crossing. You can’t miss it.”
So I walkedtwo blocks(街区) and turned to my left, but the
museumWasn’t there. Then I asked a second stranger. He
said, “Go along this street and turn left at the second
crossing.” But again I couldn’t find the museum. I asked a
third stranger and he said the same thing.
This time I found the Grand Museum. Just then someone
walked up and said. “Excuse me, where’s the nearest

All fruits have a bright colour when they are ripe(成熟), but
they grow on green
oor___ dark brown trees. Why? Perhaps you do not know
the reason. Here is the answer
a
: The tree wants birds and
animals to see its fruit clearly
c
. The fruit has seeds(种子)
inside
i
. There will be no yyoung trees if the seed is not carried
away and put into the ground somewhere else. Birds and
animals eat the flesh(果肉) of the fruit
where they see its bright colour and they drop the seeds
w
here and there. For example, the orange tree grows the sweet
s
flesh of its fruit and gives it a bright colour so that some
animals m
eat it and carry away the seeds.

We can find many wonderful things around us. For
example, some kinds of whale with
no
n ___ teeth is so huge in size, but they live on very
small things. Indeed it is
impossible
i _____ for this kind of whale to eat a big fish. Instead of
teeth, its mouth h
has a kind net made of whalebone(鲸须).
The water of the sea where the whale lives is full of very
small things, both animals and vegetables. They are so
moves
small that men can hardly see tthem . As the whale m
along, it fills its mouth with seawater, which passes tthrough
the net of whalebone, leaving the small living things
behind. Of course, a whale eats huge amounts of this food.
But still
s
it is very wonderful that this kind of large
whale should be able to live on ssuch small things and
should be unable to eat larger things.
