I am making life harder for you.” The farmer only smiled. “Dear bucket,” he said, “Look at this way we are on. Don’t you see many beautiful flowers growing next to it?

He crashed into the stone, and the milk was all over the ground. “Which stupid man put this stone here?” he shouted. He picked himself up and angrily went away.

She picked herself up and walked away in tears (泪水). Neither she nor her friends thought about moving the stone out of the road. The king watched all day as many people complained (抱怨) about the stone, but he found nobody would like to move it.

She was the daughter of a farmer. She worked all day and was very tired. But when she saw the stone, she said to herself, “This stone is a danger to anyone who comes down the road after dark. I’ll move it out of the way.” After a long and hard time, the girl finally moved the stone to the side of the road. Imagine her surprise when she saw the gold under the stone. Just then, the king went out from behind the tree. “Oh, sir,” the girl said. “Is the gold yours? If not, we must find the owner, for he will certainly want it.” The king said, “My dear, the gold is mine, but now it’s yours, because you are the only person who learned the lesson I want to teach my people.

In the past, the area near the river was simply an empty field where children played football. The main street was quiet, with only a few small, family-run shops. Public transportation was very limited, with just one or two bus routes serving the town. Most families got around by bicycle or on foot. The town center felt spacious but a bit lonely. Today, the change is incredible. The empty field by the river is now a beautiful public park with walking paths and a playground. The quiet main street has become a busy commercial area, crowded with modern stores and excellent cafes. The development of a new electric bus network has made travel convenient for every citizen. Tall apartment buildings now stand where old houses once were. It is an honor to see my hometown develop into such a lively and modern place, though I sometimes miss the quieter times of the past. 回答下面五个问题,每题答案不超过6个词。 56. What was the river area like before? 57. What is the main street like now? 58. How did most people travel in the past? 59. What modern transport is there now? 60. What feeling does the writer have when mentioning about the past?
