The Art of War is a book written over 2,500 years ago by Sun Tzu, a Chinese strategist (战略家). Living during the Spring and Autumn period, Sun had a good knowledge of war strategies. The book’s 13 chapters (篇章) cover different parts of war. Surprisingly, its lessons can help solve everyday problems! They teach skills. Here are three of them.
“Winning comes to those who know when to act and when to walk away,” Sun Tzu wrote. This means choosing fights wisely. For example, if a classmate says something unkind, staying cool might be better than shouting. Not every small argument needs a big fight.
Leadership isn’t just about giving orders—it’s about thinking smartly and making good plans. “Work on your weak points, not your strong ones,” Sun Tzu said. Imagine studying for a hard test: spend more time on your weakest subject first. He also said, “Understand yourself and your competitor, and you can fight a hundred battles (战役) with no danger of losing.” Know your strengths and weaknesses to make better plans for schoolwork.
“Change like water,” Sun Tzu taught. If your soccer team’s plan isn’t working, try new ways! Life doesn’t always go as you expect. Being able to change helps you catch good chances. Change like water, and you’ll grow!
This ancient book is still popular to this day around the world, whether in wars, politics, business, sports or relationships. Next time when you face a challenge, ask what Sun Tzu would do. (A) ____________!
1.What is one example from the passage that shows the lesson “choose fights wisely” in daily life?
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
2. According to Sun Tzu, what should we do first when studying for a hard test?

The long history of China leaves us thousands of stories. Now, here is one book that tells some of them.
Do you think you would enjoy following the lives of people in ancient China? If so, you can try A New Account of Tales of the World (《世说新语》). It’s said that Liu Yiqing finished this book.
In this book, there are more than 600 characters, such as writers, painters, and other artists living during the Han, Wei and Jin dynasties. Some stories describe what the characters look like; some are about what the characters are good at; some tell readers why the characters think this way. Each story has its own topic but every article has something in common—showing someone’s most special traits (特征). And all the characters in the book are real in history. The book has 1,130 small stories about these characters. Many stories are one hundred words long or even shorter. And many stories may not be facts. They might come from another fiction. Or people heard something about one character and then it became a story in this book. It sounds like A New Account of Tales of the World is simply a storybook. But in fact, many scholars (学者) like Lu Xun ever talked about how important this book was.
Well, how does this special book have its place in Chinese literature? First, it’s the earliest book of this kind, so it became something special in the development of Chinese literature. Second, although the stories are short, they help make readers think seriously about their life or something else. The book has much to say about both the large and the small thoughts of life.

As Peter was flying towards the ship, he passed the crocodile (鳄鱼). It had swallowed (吞) a clock that went “tick, tick” inside it before. However, the clock wasn’t ticking then. Peter realized it must have stopped. He began ticking himself so that the other animals would think he was the crocodile and leave him alone. The crocodile, thinking that Peter had taken the clock, followed him. But when Peter reached the ship, Captain Hook believed the crocodile was coming to get him.
Peter climbed over the side of the ship and went inside a room. He barked like a dog, and all the pirates (海盗) were very afraid. Hook sent two pirates in to find out what the noise was, but they didn’t come back. Then he sent in the children. Inside, Peter set them free, and they prepared to fight.
Peter ran out to meet Hook. “It is I, Peter Pan!” he cried.
“Get him!” cried Hook.
The pirates ran at Peter, and the lost boys ran forward to fight them. The pirates were stronger, but they were so afraid of the ticking and the noise of the dog that they didn’t fight well. Finally only Captain Hook was ready to fight. Peter came to fight him. For a long time, the two enemies stood face to face.
They began to fight. At last, Peter hit Hook with his sword. Captain Hook began to bleed. Captain Hook continued to fight, but he was not strong any more. He knew he was going to die. He ran to the side of the ship and jumped into the sea. He didn’t know the crocodile was hidden there, as it no longer ticked. The crocodile swallowed him in one bite.

Long ago, a raja lived in India. His people were rice farmers. The raja said to them, “Give me most of your rice, and I will store it. When the time of famine comes, everyone will have rice to eat.” So each year, the raja took most of the people’s rice and stored it.
For many years, the rice grew well. Then one year the rice did not grow, and there was a famine.
“Give us rice!” the people begged.
“No!” cried the raja. “The famine may last a long time. I must have the rice for myself. A raja must not go hungry!”
One day, an elephant was carrying two big baskets of rice to the raja.
A village girl named Rani noticed something. A little rice was falling from one of the baskets. She walked behind the elephant and caught the falling rice in her skirt.
Rani took all the rice to the raja.
“This rice fell from one of the elephant’s baskets, and I’m returning it to you,” she said.
“I wish to give you a reward for returning my rice,” the raja said. “Ask me for anything.”
“Oh, Raja,” said Rani. “I do not need any reward. But if you wish, you may give me one grain of rice.”
“One grain of rice?” cried the raja. “That’s not enough!”
“Very well,” said Rani. “Today, you can give me a single grain of rice. Then tomorrow you can double it and give me two grains of rice. The next day, four grains of rice and so on for thirty days.”
“That’s not much of a reward,” said the raja. “But you shall have it.”
And the raja gave Rani a single grain of rice. The next day, Rani got two grains of rice.
On the 9th day, Rani got 256 grains of rice.
“This girl is not very clever,” thought the raja. “There was more rice in her skirt. Why didn’t she keep it?”
On the 16th day, Rani received 32,768 grains of rice. On the 27th day, the raja delivered 64 baskets of rice to Rani.
“One grain of rice is turning into a lot,” the raja thought. “But I shall give her the reward as a raja should.”
On the final day, 256 elephants carried the last of the rice to Rani—536,870,912 grains.
“What will you do with this rice?” asked the raja. “I have no more.”
“I will give it to all the hungry people,” said Rani. “And I will leave you a basket. From now on, you’ll only take as much rice as you need. Promise?”
“I promise,” said the raja. And from then on, the raja was truly good, as a raja should be.
