John spent years walking into a supermarket in his neighborhood. There he often waved to a friendly saleswoman. Recently, John got some news. To his surprise, he found the saleswoman in the supermarket was his sister Buddline.

Altogether, John has a brother and three sisters. So far he has found all of them. The children were all given up over 50 years ago by their mother. At that time, their mother lived a very hard life and had to give them to an organization.

One of the children, Deidre found their mother later in life and took care of her until her death last year. Buddline, 56, knew their mother’s name and was found by Deidre after their mother died. One by one, they found all the rest except John. They called the organization, which called John and told him about his family this summer.

When Deidre told him about their other siblings（兄弟姐妹）and showed him Buddline’s picture, John couldn’t believe his eyes because he then knew Buddline was the saleswoman in the supermarket. Soon John and Buddline made up for the lost time they spent as just a customer and a sales woman.

All five siblings met face to face for the first time in October. “I walked in and I was just kind of speechless,” John said. “The conversation got going after a while, but we all just looked at each other and we all look alike.”

In just a matter of weeks, John, who had no kids of his own and lost his adoptive parents（养父母）last year, got four siblings and “at least” ten nieces and nephews. “I gained a huge family,” said John, the eldest sibling.

1.We can know from the text that the five brothers and sisters _______.

A. were found by their mother

B. were helped by a supermarket

C. grew up in different families

D. set up an organization together

2.Who looked after their mother at the end of her life?

A. John　　 B. Deidre　　 C. Buddline　　 D. Nobody

3.How did John feel when he recognized Buddline in the picture?

A. Sad　　 B. Worried　　 C. Angry　　 D. Shocked

4.When the five brothers and sisters finally met face to face in October, they _______.

A. held together and cried　　 B. kept in silence all the time

C. didn’t know what to say at first　　 D. didn’t think they were really a family

5.The underlined word “gained” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “_______”.

A. got　　 B. saw　　 C. needed　　 D. introduced

Help the King !

Many years ago there lived a kind-hearted king. The king spent days in his bed. He always ate and slept. He became very fat and the people started to worry about him.

One day he realized that he couldn't move his feet. He invited (遨请) doctors from all across his country and gave them thousands of money to make him fit. But none could help the king with his health and fitness. The king was very nice so many people suggested famous doctors to help him. He spent lots of money but nothing seemed to work.

One fine morning, a man named Rishi told the minister(大臣) he could easily make the king healthy again. The king was very happy and wanted to meet him. The king couldn't move his body so he asked the minister to bring Rishi to his palace(宫殿). Rishi lived in a far place and refused(拒绝)　 to go to the king's palace.

The king tried his best to meet Rishi. Rishi said he was a good king and he would soon be healthy again. He asked the king to come for treatment every day. He told the king he would treat him only if he came on foot to his place.

The king was unable to walk even a few steps on the road but he worked hard with the help of his followers. He reached Rishi's place. Unluckily Rishi was not there so the king only met him the next day for treatment. For two weeks the king went there every day but he never met Rishi. He never had any treatment but he realized he felt a lot lighter. He lost a lot of weight and felt more active than before. He understood why Rishi asked him to reach his place by walking.
