Long long ago, a king had a big rock placed in the middle of a very busy road. Then he hid nearby to see if anyone would move the rock out of the way to make it convenient for others. Some of the king’s wealthiest supporters came past and simply walked around it. Many others complained about the rock and some blamed the king for the problem. To the king’s surprise, no one did anything about moving it out of the way.
Finally, a poor farmer came along, carrying a load of old vegetables. When he saw the rock, he put down his load, and tried to move the heavy rock to the side of the road. No one stopped to help him. Many laughed at him and made jokes as they walked past. Finally, after much pushing and straining, and with no help , the farmer managed(設(shè)法) to get the rock to the side of the road. As he bent down to pick up his vegetables, he noticed a small bag lying in the road, exactly where the rock had been. There was a lot of money and a note in the bag. The note was from the king saying that the money was for the person who moved the rock out of the way.
Taking responsibility(責(zé)任) is about solving hard problems. The farmer takes responsibility when no one else is prepared to. It does not always mean that you will get an instant reward, but it is a value that builds up a community, and makes life better for all of us.

Do you live in a city? Do you know how cities began? Long long ago, the world had only a few thousand people. These people moved from one place to another. They moved over the land, hunting animals for food.

No one knows how or when these people learned about growing food. But when they did， their lives changed. They did not have to look for food any longer. They could stay in one place and grow it. People began to live near one another, so the first village was established. Many people came to work in the villages, and these villages became even larger.

When machines appeared, life in the villages changed again. People built factories. More and more people lived near the factories. The cities began.

Today, it’s strange that some people are moving back to small villages. Can you tell me why?

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，判斷正(T)誤(F)。

1.People moved from place to place to hunt animals.

2.The story says,“No one knows how or when these people learned about growing food. But when they did, their lives changed.” In this sentence, the word “they” means people.

3. When machines appeared, life in the cities changed again.

4. All people like to live only in very big cities.

5. People built factories after the cities grew big.

     On a cold winter day, a fox told Mother Bear that he would teach her how to fish. For she wanted to
learn, he took her to a hole in the ice, and told her to put her tail(尾巴) down into the water.
     He told her to keep the tail there for a long time. Then when she pulled the tail out of the water, she
would find fish around the tail.
     The bear was foolish enough to believe what the fox said. She sat for a long time with her tail in the
water. She was waiting for the fish. But when she tried to pull her tail out of the water she found that it
