Ⅲ.阅读表达(10分)
Once upon a time, there was a king who only had one leg and one eye.
One day, the king was walking through the palace hallway and was happy to
enjoy the pictures of his ancestors. He put them there to let his children
remember all the ancestors. He found there wasn’t his own picture. So he invited
many painters to paint a beautiful picture of him. Any painter who could paint a
perfect picture would get a big prize.
All the painters thought it impossible to make the picture perfect, as the
king was disabled. And if the picture didn’t look beautiful, he would get angry
and punish them. So most of the painters politely refused to paint a picture of

his bow (弓) and aiming the arrow (箭) with one eye closed.The king was
very happy to see the picture and gave the painter a great prize. He did paint a

So remember to pay attention to the good things instead of the weaknesses
in life.

two high mountains near his home.They were so high that it took him a
long time to walk to the other side.So he decided to move the
mountains.Yu Gong and his family kept moving them day after day, year
after year.Finally, a god was so moved that he took the mountains away.
The story reminds us that nothing is impossible as long as we work
hard.We should not give up.
