The Story of the General (将军) and the Minister (丞相)

In ancient China, there were two important men in the country of Zhao: General Lian Po and Minister Lin Xiangru. Lian was a great fighter. He won many wars (战争) for Zhao and was known for his bravery. Lin was a very smart man. He always helped his king in a clever way. Once, he saved a treasure for Zhao, so the king gave him a higher position than the general’s.

This made General Lian very angry. He complained (抱怨), “I risk my life every day! Why is his job better than mine?” He was so upset that whenever they met in the street, the general would glare at the minister.

Lin heard this, but he did not get angry. He always stayed away from the general. He even chose different roads to avoid (避免) meeting him. His friends asked him, “Are you afraid of him?” Lin answered calmly, “I am not afraid of the general. But think about this-we fight, our country falls. Our country’s safety is more important than my personal feelings.”

When General Lian heard these words, he felt deeply sorry. He realized how selfish he had been. He understood that Lin was truly thinking about their country’s future. To say sorry, he carried sticks on his back and walked to Lin’s house.

Lin saw him and quickly helped remove the sticks. “Please, do not carry these.” he said kindly. “I forgive (原谅) you.”

After that, they became good friends. They worked together to keep their country safe for many years.

6. What would happen if Lin Xiangru fought with General Lian according to the text?

①There’s nothing quite like having a good sleep after a full day of work. Like people, animals need to rest after working hard. Some animals sleep in water. Others dig holes (挖洞) under the ground. Some even sleep high in trees or under leaves. But they all find a way to rest.

②Some animals in the sea sleep in strange ways. Fish sleep with their eyes open. They seem to look far into the sea while they rest. Sea otters (水獭) sometimes sleep in beds of plants. This keeps them from moving away. Parrotfish blow something from their mouths when they are ready to sleep. The bubble (气泡) protects them from harm (伤害) while they sleep.

③Some animals sleep under the ground. Chipmunks (花栗鼠) sleep in a ball. Their beds are made of leaves
