一、阅读理解
(2018·安徽安庆桐城四模)A cobbler(鞋匠) spent his time singing from morning till night. He was poor but happy. However, his neighbor who had lots of wealth, sang little and slept less. When he fell into a doze(打盹) at daybreak, the cobbler woke him up with his songs.
Finally, he sent for his neighbor and said to him, “How much a year do you earn, my neighbor？” The cobbler laughed and said, “I haven't thought in that way, living as I do from one day to another to reach the end of the year; each day brings its meal.” “Well then! How much a day do you earn, my friend？” “Sometimes more, sometimes less. But our earnings were very acceptable.”
The banker, laughing at his poor neighbor, said, “In the future I shall give you all you want. Take this hundred crowns(克朗), keep them carefully, and make use of them in time of need.” The cobbler fancied(想象) he had all the wealth which the earth had produced in the past centuries for the use of mankind. He accepted the money happily.
Returning home, he buried his money. So did his happiness at the same time. No more singing, he lost his voice. The moment he had that money was the source of so much sadness. All day long, his eyes looked at the direction of his treasure.
At last the poor man ran to the house of his rich neighbor. He said, “Give back my sleep and my voice, and take away your hundred crowns.”

五、Dear Tom，
I'm very happy that you are interested in traditional Chinese stories. Well, let me tell you a famous one with the name Sima Guang Hit the Tank.
Once Sima Guang was playing hide and seek with several children in the backyard. There was a large water tank in the yard. It was full of water. When the kids were playing, one child accidentally fell into the tank. Other children were so frightened that they started to run, crying for help. However, Sima Guang was different. He thought it over and then had an idea. He picked up a big stone and threw it at the tank. “Bang”， the tank broke and the water ran out. The kid was saved.
Do you like the story? What do you think of Sima Guang?
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Li Mei
