called the Sage of Calligraphy(书圣).Born in Shandong Province,
he spent most of his life in the present-day Shaoxing, Zhejiang.

At the beginning, Wang Xizhi learned the art of calligraphy from
Lady Wei.But later through practice, he made great progress and
excelled at calligraphy.
Nobody knows who taught him after Lady Wei. However,
there is a story that Wang achieved his success by learning from
his dream. It is said that Wang would practice calligraphy every
day. Still, he was never satisfied with himself. One day, he was
so tired that he fell asleep at his desk. In his dream, he saw an

old man who said to him with a smile, “I will teach you some-
thing and you will find it very helpful in the future. Now reach
out your hands.”Only half believing, Wang reached out his
hand. The old man wrote a character on his hand and said with
a nod, “Now you will be a calligrapher.”Then he disap-
peared in the air. Wang looked at his hand and saw a character
“永”. He thought it over for a whole night and finally real-
ized that this character contained all the basic strokes(笔画) in

As we know, Archimedes was a great scientist. He was one of
the greatest minds in history. It is said that he once used a very
large mirror or a set of mirrors to set fire to Roman ships attack-
ing his home city of Syracuse. He liked studying the world around
and trying a lot to find out truths. Here is a story about him.
初中英语
One day, when he was walking in the street, he saw a thin girl
getting a big bucket(桶)of water from a well without difficulty.
He then watched and thought it over. After studying this for a
long time, he got the famous conclusion—the principle of the
lever (杠杆原理). He then said to the king, “Give me a place
to stand on and I will move the earth.” The king didn’t believe
him and asked him to support his idea by pulling a huge
warship into the river by himself. Archimedes first set up an
初中英语
operating crank(操作曲柄)by the bank. He then put a group of
pulley blocks between it and the warship. Finally, he pulled the
warship into the river by moving the operating crank. From
then on the king trusted him and asked everyone to trust him.
In fact, Archimedes just used some leverage (杠杆作用)in this
experiment. Besides this, he also made a lot of advanced weapons,
which helped him protect his nation and its people in many wars.
What a great scientist he was!

Once upon a time, the cities of Greece had their own kings.
Corinth was one of them. Its people thought their king was the
wisest ever. They always talked about him with pride. However,
the king and his wife had done something very cleverly and nobody
knew about it.
One day, the king was working hard to (A) Corinth’s

water problem. Suddenly, he saw Jupiter flying by with
something in his arms.
“How strange,”thought the king. “We seldom see Jupiter
come down from the sky. I wonder what he’s up to.”The
king shrugged(耸肩), and went back to thinking about the wa-
ter problem in his city.
Within seconds, another god flew past. “Have you seen my
daughter?”he asked loudly.
The king said, “①” Immediately, a pure stream of clean
初中英语
water gushed forth(奔涌而出).
“I saw Jupiter going that way and carrying something in his
arms.②Maybe that was your daughter,”the king pointed.
Jupiter was very angry when he learned about this.“Who is
that mortal(凡人) to mind my matters?”he thought. He asked
his brother Pluto, the god of the underworld(冥界), to take the
king down there at once.
Pluto did as he was told. He went to meet the king at the en-
trance to the underworld. (B)但是,他看见一个乞丐朝他走来,

“How can you pay (C) the trip if you don t have
any coins?”
The king hung(低垂) his head in shame.(D)“My wife is too
poor to give me a coin,”he said.
Pluto’s mouth fell open. “What?”he couldn‘t believe it.
“Go back and get your coins from someone else then!③”
Right as he spoke, Pluto kicked the king out of the underworld.
At the same time on the earth, the king was back to life. He
