21、   Long long ago, a king went to a local village. He placed a large stone(石头）in the middle of the main road and put gold coins (金币)under the stone. Then he hid behind a large tree and watched.

The first person down the street was a milkman with his cart. He ran into the stone and the milk was all over the ground. “What fool put this stone here?” he shouted. He picked himself up and angrily went away.

After a while, a group of women came along with a pot of water on her head. One woman tripped over(绊倒）the stone and her water pot fell onto the ground. She picked herself up, cried and walked away, but no one thought about moving the stone out of the road.

The king watched all day as many people complained about the stone, but he found nobody wanted to move it. The king wondered, “Is there no one in this village who feels any responsibility to keep their neighbors from danger?”

Just then, the king saw a young girl coming along. She was the daughter of a local farmer. She had been working all day and was very tired. But when she saw the stone, she said to herself. “This stone is a danger to anyone who comes down the road after dark. I’ll move it out of the way.”

After much effort, the girl finally succeeded in moving the stone to the side of the road. She was surprised when she saw the gold coins under the stone!

Just then, the king stepped out from behind the tree. “Oh sir,"  the girl said, “Is this gold yours? If not, we surely must find the owner, for he will certainly miss it.”

The king said, “My dear, the gold is mine, but now the gold is yours, because you are the only person who has learnt the lesson I want to teach my people. Nothing good can come to a nation whose people only complain and expect others to solve their problems.”

【1】The milkman felt ________when he ran into the stone.

23、Memory is very important. It helps you remember who you are, where you live, what you have learnt and what you plan to do in the future.

So, how can you improve your memory?

It is important to exercise your brain. For example, you can do new things and change your daily habits. If you walk a different way to school or take a different bus, you will keep your brain active. You can try to memorize something new. You can try a Maths puzzle. You can also try to learn new skills or study a foreign language. Your brain gets lots of regular exercise if you do any of these things.

If you live a healthy life, your memory will work better. You must have a balanced diet. You must give your brain enough time to rest. Unless you get enough sleep every night, you will not remember things well.

If you want your brain to work well, you also need to relax. If you get too worried, your brain will slow down, and your memory will become less sharp.

So, to improve your memory, you should exercise your brain, live a healthy life and stay relaxed.
