Once upon a time the frogs decided to ask Jupiter, the king in Roman mythology(罗马神话), for a king of their own. Jupiter felt it funny. “Here you are,” he said, throwing a log(原木) of wood with a splash into the lake where they lived. “Here is a king for you.”
The frogs dived under the water in fright, going as deep into the mud as they could. After a time one of the braver ones swam carefully to the surface to take a look at the new king.
“He looks very quiet, “said the frog. “Perhaps he is asleep.” The log stayed quite still on the smooth lake and one by one more frogs came up to take a look. They swam closer and closer until at last they leaped(跳跃) right on top of it,quite forgetting that they had ever been frightened. Young frogs began to use it as a diving board; old frogs sat sunning themselves on it; mother frogs taught their tadpoles(蝌蚪) their first jumps on its bark(树皮).
One day an old frog said, “This is a dull kind of a king , you know. I thought we wanted someone to keep us in order. This one just lies around and lets us do what we please.” So the frogs went once more to Jupiter. “Can’t you give us a better king? ”they asked. “Someone who will be a bit more active than the one you sent before?”
Jupiter was not in a good mood. “Silly little animals,” he thought. “I shall give them just what they deserve this time.” He sent a long-legged stork(鹳) to the lake.
The frogs were very impressed and crowded admiringly round. But before they would even begin the speeches of welcome they had prepared, the stork stuck his long beak(尖嘴) into the water and began to eat up as many frogs as he could see.
“That’s not what we meant at all,” gasped the frogs as they dived once more into the mud. But this time Jupiter would not listen. “I only gave you what you asked for,” he said, “Perhaps it will teach you not to complain about things so much.”
1.How can we tell that the first king wasn’t frightening?
A.They swam carefully and looked at the king. B.No matter what the frogs did, the king kept still.
C.The tadpoles were scared to jump on the king. D.The king was sleeping and didn’t move at all.
2.Why did the frogs ask for another king?
A.Because the frogs needed a frightening king. B.Because it controlled the frogs too much.
C.Because it was not active and did nothing at all. D.Because it was too bad to become a diving board.
3.The sentence “I shall give them just what they deserved this time.” in Paragraph 5 means that .
A.Jupiter wanted to help the poor animals B.animals would get what they really wanted

4.The underlined word “That” in the last paragraph refers to .
