In those days, people wrote on silk with a kind of stick pen. The stick pen was very hard and made writing very slow. Meng Tian had to often write a great number of reports about the battlefield situation to the Qin ruler. He was frustrated(沮 丧 的) with the difficulty of writing, so he decided to make improvements. Between battles, Meng enjoyed hunting. One day, Meng hunted a wild rabbit. It was fat and heavy and its tail left a trail(痕 迹) on the ground. Meng suddenly had an idea. He immediately tied the rabbit􀆳s tail to a stick and tried writing with it. But the rabbit􀆳s hair was too oily(多油的) to hold the ink. Meng felt very sad and threw his “rabbit hair brush pen” away into a hole in the rocks. However, Meng Tian couldn􀆳t accept the failure and continued to spend time wondering how to improve the brush pen. A few days later, he was having a walk outside for some fresh air. By chance, he found the rabbit hair brush pen that he had thrown away. He picked it up and found that it had changed and was now soft and wet—holding water. Meng Tian got inspiration at once. He put the rabbit hair brush pen back in the ink and found it worked beautifuly on silk. 根据短文内容,回答问题。(每题答案不超 过5个词) 1. What did people write with in 223 BC? 2. What was Meng Tian􀆳s hobby between batles? 3. How did Meng Tian feel when he failed to write with the rabbit􀆳s hair? 4. How was the rabbit hair brush pen that he had thrown away? 5.
