One day, he comes back and sees the children in his garden. "What are you doing here?" he shouts in a very angry voice. The children run away.

They are usually about two metres wide, or six chi in traditional Chinese units. Most of them are nothing special. But Liuchixiang （Six-chi Lane） in Tongcheng, Anhui, is perhaps the most famous one. Its story started back in the Qing Dynasty. Two local families, the 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. 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. 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. 31. How wide is Liuchixiang according to the passage? A. Two metres B. Three chi C. Six chi D. Both A and C 32. Why did the Zhang family write a letter to Zhang Ying? A. Because Zhang Ying was a high official B. Because they wanted to get some advice C. Because they wanted to show their anger D. Because they wanted to make the Wus afraid 33. How did the Zhang family feel after reading Zhang Ying's poem? A. Angry B. Ashamed C. Excited D. Relaxed 34. What did the Wu family do after seeing the Zhang family's act? A. They stepped back three chi as well B. They built a wall between the two houses C. They wrote a letter to Zhang Ying too D. They argued with the Zhang family again 35. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The story of a famous narrow lane in China B. The history of narrow lanes in the Qing Dynasty C. The way to solve problems between neighbours D. The importance of poems in ancient China C The Giant's garden and Liuchixiang both have meaningful stories. The Giant was once selfish and kept children out of his garden, so spring never came. When he realized his mistake and knocked down the wall, happiness returned to his garden. Liuchixiang's story tells us about kindness and tolerance. Two families argued over a wall, but with a poem's advice, they both stepped back and created a narrow lane. The lane has become a symbol of good neighbourly relations. Both stories teach us important lessons. The Giant's story shows that sharing brings happiness, while Liuchixiang's story tells us that kindness can spread. In our daily life, we should learn to share with others and be kind to our neighbours. Only in this way can we make the world a better place to live in. 36.
