Once upon a time, there was a beautiful bird, which was very curious about Hell (地狱). When she was little, her mother always told her that if she didn't master the flying skills, she would go to Hell. She was so curious about Hell that she always asked others what Hell looked like, but no one was sure, because none of them had ever been there. Some said Hell was a place full of water, and others told her that Hell was full of burning fire. However, the bird knew they were lying. She wanted to find out what Hell was.
When other birds were learning flying skills, she always hid herself and watched them. She thought in this way she could go to Hell and see what Hell looked like. However, she spent so little time learning flying skills that one day she was caught by a little boy. The little boy gave her to his grandpa in the countryside as a gift. The old man liked her very much. He made a delicate cage and put her in it. The bird was very worried because she thought she couldn't find out what Hell was like staying in this small cage. However, she couldn't escape. Day after day, she just stayed in the cage, watching other birds flying. She lost her freedom and she became sadder and sadder. At last, she became ill. The old man finally opened the cage, but she was too weak to fly. Lying on the ground, she thought of the question that she ever asked all the time.
“What does Hell look like?”
“Hell is a small well-decorated cage." Before she closed her eyes forever, she finally answered that question herself.

Once upon a time, there was a kingdom which was ruled by a king who loved riddles (谜语). Once a year the king made a new riddle. He gave a prize to the person who could solve the riddle.
There was a baker who also lived in this kingdom. Everyone agreed that he baked the finest bread. The baker had almost everything he needed except for a horse. If the baker had a horse, he could sell his fine bread from one end of the kingdom to the other.
One year the king made a new riddle that puzzled everyone. “I will give a prize to the person who can solve my riddle," the king said, "Whoever wins will have the pick of one of my strongest horses." He then drew a line down the middle of the courtyard. “Make this line shorter without erasing(清除)any part of it,” the king challenged.
People came from far and wide. They looked at the line and even put their noses to the ground.
“ How can you make a line shorter without erasing any part of it ?” the people in the crowd asked each other. Some of them tried. The dressmaker kicked dirt (泥土) over the line to hide it. The farmer poured water over the line to make it disappear. None of these worked, and the people went home unhappily. Everyone was puzzled about how to solve this new riddle.
A week passed, and nobody had any new ideas. Then one day the baker came into the courtyard with a bag of flour (面粉). “Your Majesty,” the baker said to the king, “ I can make your line shorter with erasing any part of it.” Then the baker opened his bag of flour. He poured out a line of flour right next to the king’s line. The line the baker made was longer than the king’s line.
“Now, good king,” the baker smiled, “your line is shorter.”
The people were very surprised. The king laughed and clapped his hands." You have won the prize. I will give you a horse of your choice."
The baker was excited. Now he could sell his bread from one end of the kingdom to the other.
1.What was the baker's problem at the beginning of the story?
A.He couldn't make fine bread.

Once upon a time, there were two doors in a house. One was a beautiful living room door, and the other was just a normal bathroom door.
There were some naughty children in the house, and they always kicked(踢) the door. The living room door was always very angry about it and hated the children. The bathroom door didn’t care too much when the children kicked him. Instead, he tried to comfort the living room door. He said, “Don’t worry. It’s normal. They’re children, and they’ll grow up soon. Before long, things will be better.”
One day, the living door finally lost his temper(发脾气). A child kicked him, and he broke at once. The owner of the house got very angry and told the children to be careful next time. This made the living door happy. However, the owner didn’t repair him; he threw him into a landfill(垃圾堆) instead. At the same time, the bathroom door took the place of the living room door. And the children treated him with greater care.
The living room door realized his mistake. He shouldn’t treat young children like that. He should learn to forgive(原谅) others. The happiness from revenge(报复) will never last for long.
