In order to rule his kingdom, he decided to learn all the wisdom of world. Therefore, he gathered all the wise men from his kingdom and abroad and ordered them to look for books for him to read and learn from.Five years passed quickly. The wise men returned with their camels, carrying 5000 books full of wisdom. Seeing so many books, the king was so shocked that he didnt know how to start. So he ordered the wise men to condense the books and bring them back to him. Another five years passed. The wise men again went to see the king, this time bringing 500 books, but the king still thought there were too many. Five more years passed. The wise men brought back 50 books. At this time, the king was troubled with many problems, but he still felt were too many books.During the next few years, the wise men worked hard to condense the 50 books into one book and present it to the king. The king took no interest in reading this book, nor did he have time to learn from it. More problems broke out in his kingdom-his enemies endlessly attacked and diseases affected his people. He did not have the wisdom to solve these problems. Finally, the king was killed by a ruler in the neighbour country and his country was destroyed.Waiting for wisdom to come to you is just a way of being lazy. If there is no action, there can be no gain. Only if we set out to find wisdom can we make a difference.（1）Why did the king gather all the wise man? A . To help him rule the kingdom.B . To teach him some knowledge.C . To look for books for his kingdom.D . To look for books of wisdom for him.（2）What does the underlined word condense mean? A . To put much information into a small space.B . To make the price of books lower.C . To make the books smaller than ever.D . To make the books easier than ever.（3）Why wouldnt the king read the ONE book made from 50 books? A . Because he didnt know how to start.B . Because he lost interest and time for it.C . Because he wasnt sure about that book.D . Because it didnt have the wisdom he wanted.（4）What can we learn from this passage? A . Time and tide wait for no man.B . Wisdom can make a country strong.C . Wisdom wont come to you by itself.D . The meaning of living is to find wisdom.19. （10分）阅读理解Many kids help parents to do chores such as washing the dishes, cleaning the floors and taking out the trash in the house. In return, some kids get money or other rewards from their parents, such as 20 minutes to play computer games.But some people do not think that kids should get rewards(奖赏) for doing chores. One of them is Susie Walton, a parenting educator. She believes that if kids get rewards, they will think that work isnt worth doing unless you get something in return. For example, kids wont sweep the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will clean the floor if their parents reward them for it. “Every house is a team effort,” Susie said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. Its important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities to keep our home clean.Other people have different opinions. They believe that money or other rewards can motivate kids to do more chores. It also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to earn money. Now, there are also apps(应用软件) that encourage kids to do chores. The apps give kids points and digital gifts that can be used either online or in the real world. With the Chore Monster app, kids earn digital points after doing chores. Kids can exchange their points for real rewards, such as time to play video games or a trip to the mall. “Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards, says Chris Bergman, founder of Chore Monster. “Kids need positive(积极的) power to make them do chores.What do you think? Should kids be rewarded for doing chores? Or should kids help out around their homes without getting anything in return?Write a 200-word response. Send it to tfkasks4youtimeforkids.com. Your response may be published in Time For Kids. Please include your grade and contact information of your parent or teacher if you want your response to be published.

The apps that encourage kids to do chores.C . How to exchange their points for real rewards.D .

When he walked by a flower shop in the evening, an idea came to his mind. “Ill send Mum some roses (玫瑰).”While John was picking his flowers, a young man went inside. “How many roses can I get for only five dollars, Madam?” he asked.
