教与学 学导练 英语 八年级 上册 配上海教育版
One day, the potter forgot to take the rope (绳子). Then he decided to lie down holding the donkey's ears so that the donkey would not run away. But in this way neither the donkey nor the potter was able to take a rest.
An old man, who happened to walk by, saw the potter holding on to the donkey's ears. Then the old man wanted to know why he did so. When the potter told him the reason, the old man said,“Take the donkey to the place where you tie him every day. Pretend (假装) to tie him using an imaginary rope. I am sure he won't run away.”The potter did as the old man said.

He left the donkey and went to take a rest. When he woke up, to his surprise, he found the donkey standing in the same place as usual. Soon the potter planned to go home, but the donkey did not move. “What is wrong with this donkey?”asked the potter in surprise.
Luckily, the potter saw the old man again. He told him about the strange thing. The old man said, “You tied the donkey, but did you untie him? Go and pretend to untie the rope with which you had tied the donkey.”

You must have heard of me. I'm Li Bai. I'm famous for my poems, but looking back on my fall and exciting life, I'd say friendship has been just as important as poetry.
One of my friends is He Zhizhang who is forty-two years older than me. Once we were having such an interesting conversation that we decided to continue it over dinner. After finishing the meal, we realized that neither of us had brought any money. He immediately

took off the golden tortoise (龟)decorated on his waist and used it to pay for our dinner. I knew the golden tortoise was given to him by the Emperor. His generosity(慷慨) touched me. This showed how much he valued our friendship. A letter started another of my friendships.
The letter was from Wang Lun. He wrote to invite me to enjoy the ten-li peach blossom (桃花)scenery and the ten thousand restaurants in his area. I was expecting to see the special scenery and taste all kinds of food and wine so that I accepted this invitation at once.
教与学 学导练 英语 八年级 上册 配上海教育版
But when I arrived, to my surprise, I found that this clever man had used word-play to trick me into visiting him! The ten-li peach blossom referred to a lake named Peach Blossom Lake, which was about ten li away. The ten thousand restaurants were just a restaurant named Wan Jia, meaning “owned by Mr Wan”! I was impressed by his cleverness, and we enjoyed a good laugh together. Although my friends and I don't have many opportunities to get together, we keep one another in mind.

The first emperor of China, Qin Shihuang, completed a huge number of projects during his rule. Between 221 and 210 B. C. , he started the building of the Great Wall. The emperor also ordered the building of a huge army of life-sized Terracotta Warriors (兵马俑). These, he hoped, would protect his tomb after his death.

Lost in time
The soldiers in Xi'an's terracotta museum are today light brown, but they weren't always. They began as an army of red, blue, yellow, green, white and purple. Sadly, most of the colours did not last to the present day. After being exposed(暴露)to air during digging, the coating under the paint began to fall off.
教与学 学导练 英语 八年级 上册 配上海教育版
New technology
Now new technology is starting to show the army's true colours. Archaeologists (考古学家) have recently discovered an area with more than a hundred soldiers. Many of these still have their painted features, including black hair, pink faces, and black or brown eyes. Chinese and German researchers have developed a chemical liquid(液体)to help keep the soldiers' colours. After finding a soldier or another art piece, archaeologists put the liquid on it. They then cover it in plastic.

Back to life
Archaeologists are also finding colours in the dirt (泥土) around the soldiers. It's important not to do anything with the dirt, so the colours won't be lost. “We are treating the dirt as an art piece,” said Rong Bo, the museum's leading archaeologist. “The next challenge,” said Rong Bo, “is to find a way to use the colours onto the army again.” Once that happens, artists can bring Qin Shihuang's army back to its full, bright colours.

The next morning, the man found that another sheep was missing. He was very sad but thought it wasn't too late to repair the sheepfold. So he quickly went to repair it.
