Six chi away, but closer together
1Narrow lanes are very common in China. They are usually about two metres wide, or six chi in traditional Chinese units. Most of them are nothing special. But Liu Chi Xiang(Six-chi Lane) in Tongcheng, Anhui, is perhaps the most famous one.
2 Its story started back in the Qing Dynasty. Two local families, Zhangs and the Wus, argued over the dividing line between their houses. They couldn't reach an agreement. The Zhang family was angry. Their relative, Zhang Ying, had a position high up in the government. They wrote him a letter, asking for advice. When his reply came, they opened it to find a poem inside.
A letter from far away just for a wall
Is not right or good at all.
Three chi to your neighbour as a gift
Is nothing as time continues to drift.
3 After reading it, the Zhang family felt ashamed. They stepped back three chi for their neighbour. This act deeply moved the Wu family. In return, they decided to do the same thing. They gave up another three chi. And so came the six-chi-wide lane between the two houses.
4 Hundreds of years have passed since then, and the lane is still there. The people of Tongcheng still keep the poem in mind. Whenever they walk down the lane, they remember how kindness encourages more kindness.
1窄巷在中国很常见。它们通常宽约两米,在中国传统单位中为六尺。他们中的大多数都没什么特别的。但安徽桐城的六尺巷可能是最著名的。
2它的故事始于清朝。当地的两个家庭,张家和吴家,就房屋的分界线发生了争执。他们无法达成协议。张家很生气。他们的亲戚张英在政府中有很高的职位。他们给他写了一封信,征求他的意见。当他的回复到来时,他们打开它,发现里面有一首诗。
一纸书来只为墙
让他三尺又何妨
长城万里今犹在
部件当年秦始皇
3张一家看完后感到很惭愧。他们为邻居后退了三尺。这一举动深深打动了吴一家。作为回报,他们决定做同样的事情。他们又放弃了三尺。于是,两栋房子之间出现了六尺宽的小巷。
4从那以后,几百年过去了,小巷还在。桐城人民仍然铭记着这首诗。每当他们走在小巷里,他们都会想起善良是如何鼓励更多的善良的。
❸Answer the questions about the story.

Six chi away, but closer together
1Narrow lanes are very common in China. They are usually about two metres wide, or six chi in traditional Chinese units. Most of them are nothing special. But Liu Chi Xiang(Six-chi Lane) in Tongcheng, Anhui, is perhaps the most famous one.
2 Its story started back in the Qing Dynasty. Two local families, Zhangs and the Wus, argued over the dividing line between their houses. They couldn't reach an agreement. The Zhang family was angry. Their relative, Zhang Ying, had a position high up in the government. They wrote him a letter, asking for advice. When his reply came, they opened it to find a poem inside.
A letter from far away just for a wall
Is not right or good at all.
Three chi to your neighbour as a gift
Is nothing as time continues to drift.
3 After reading it, the Zhang family felt ashamed. They stepped back three chi for their neighbour. This act deeply moved the Wu family. In return, they decided to do the same thing. They gave up another three chi. And so came the six-chi-wide lane between the two houses.
4 Hundreds of years have passed since then, and the lane is still there. The people of Tongcheng still keep the poem in mind. Whenever they walk down the lane, they remember how kindness encourages more kindness.
1窄巷在中国很常见。它们通常宽约两米,在中国传统单位中为六尺。他们中的大多数都没什么特别的。但安徽桐城的六尺巷可能是最著名的。
2它的故事始于清朝。当地的两个家庭,张家和吴家,就房屋的分界线发生了争执。他们无法达成协议。张家很生气。他们的亲戚张英在政府中有很高的职位。他们给他写了一封信,征求他的意见。当他的回复到来时,他们打开它,发现里面有一首诗。
一纸书来只为墙
让他三尺又何妨
长城万里今犹在
部件当年秦始皇
3张一家看完后感到很惭愧。他们为邻居后退了三尺。这一举动深深打动了吴一家。作为回报,他们决定做同样的事情。他们又放弃了三尺。于是,两栋房子之间出现了六尺宽的小巷。
4从那以后,几百年过去了,小巷还在。桐城人民仍然铭记着这首诗。每当他们走在小巷里,他们都会想起善良是如何鼓励更多的善良的。

Learning to build good relationships with parents
It’s important for children to learn how to build good relationships with their parents. In my family, I used to argue with my parents and find it hard to get along with them.
We had problems because they only paid attention to my scores. Besides, I was not allowed to hang out with friends. I felt they didn’t care about my feelings. I argued with them and even refused to talk to them for a few days. To solve this problem, I asked my teacher for help. She advised me to make some changes. So I tried to communicate with my parents about my feelings. To my surprise, they agreed with me.
Now, our relationship is much better. We spend more time talking and I feel happier.
