His mother called him Solomon. “Because, ” she said, “he is a wise child. Slow and sure is sure to do well. ” “Yes, ” said his father, “but he is too slow and unless he becomes a little more quick and a little less lazy, I shall never make a man of him. ” When he was about ten years old, his father and some friends planned a picnic in the Forest and hired a large van to take them there. They were to set out at seven in the morning. Solomon knew this as he had heard his father say so the night before. It was a really fine day when he woke up at six the next morning, but he was as lazy as ever. “If l get up about ten minutes before seven, " said he, "I shall be down in plenty of time. ” So he lay still in bed and heard all the party pass his door as they went downstairs. They even called to him; but he gave no answer, and only lazily rolled himself up in the clothes. At last, up he jumped, dressed, and ran down the stairs but he found the breakfast-room empty, and the van gone! Snatching (抓)up his hat he ran as fast as he could down the road; but there was a high wind and the dust was in clouds everywhere. He screamed and shouted for the van to stop; but it's useless. No one could hear him and at last, tired with running and half fed with dust he walked sadly home. But even this did not cure him. He was a lazy boy and grew up to be a lazy man; and when in business, though the bus passed his door every day he was seldom ready. 56. Why did the mother call the boy Solomon Slow? 57. What was the weather like when he woke up？ 58. When did Solomon Slow plan to get up? 59. Did he catch the van in the end? 60. What suggestion can you give to Solomon? 2022年江苏省扬州市邗江区中考二模英语试卷 五、阅读表达题 (共5小题；每题2分，计10分) Did you notice that on the back of the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter
