三、阅读理解。
A long time ago,there was a king who liked music so much that he ordered his men to get him the best instrument in the world.
One day,a young man offered the king a harp (竖琴).The king took it to the palace,but when he started playing it,the harp was out of tune (曲调).Many other musicians played it,and they agreed that the harp was useless and that the king had been cheated.The harp was thrown away as rubbish.
A poor little girl later found the harp.Even though she did not know how to play the harp,she decided to have a try.She played and played,for months and years,always with the harp out of tune,but she played better and better.
Then one day,the harp began to play the most beautiful music.It was a magic harp,and it could only be played well by someone who was willing to spend much time practicing.
One day,the king heard the music from his window,and the girl was invited to the palace.When the king heard the girl playing the harp,he was full of joy.At that moment he made the girl his own private musician,giving her and her family lots of money.
