Every day, the little prince told me about his planet and travels. He shared slowly as ideas came.
On the third day, he told me about the1 problem with baobab trees (猴面包树).
He asked me worriedly, "Sheep eat bushes (灌木), right?"
"Yes, they do," I said. "Ah...Good," he replied. I didn't understand why this2 . Then he asked, "Do they eat baobabs, too?"
I explained that baobabs are3 trees instead of little bushes. Even many elephants together couldn't eat one baobab tree.
But then he said something wise, "4 they grow so big, the baobabs start out by being little."
"That's true," I5 , "But why do you want sheep to eat little baobabs?"
"Oh, please," he answered, as if it was easy. I had to think hard to6 .
On his planet, there are good plants and bad plants. Good plants come from good seeds (种子), and bad plants come from bad seeds. Seeds are hidden, sleeping in the ground until7 . Then, a little plant grows towards the sun. If it's a nice plant like a rose, you let it grow. But if it's a bad plant, you must8 it up.
The little prince's planet had many bad seeds: baobab seeds. The ground was9 of them. If you don't dig out a small baobab 10 , it becomes hard later. If the planet is small and has too many 11 , they can break it apart!
"It's about 12 ," the little prince told me later. "I made them myself and followed them 13 . After I wash myself in the morning, I must carefully ‘wash' my planet. I must pull out the little baobabs as soon as I see them."
One day he said, "Sometimes it's okay to put off work. But with baobabs, waiting means 14 . I knew a lazy man on a planet. He paid no attention to three little bushes..."
So, I drew that planet as he described. I don't like giving lessons, but the danger of baobabs is not well 15 . Not many people have heard of that as far as I know. So I will say clearly, "Children, watch out for the baobabs!"

Do you have any history book recommendations?
by Cayitam » April 30th, 2025, 8:47 a.m.
Hello, I'm writing to see if anyone happens to have any suggestions for history books. Perhaps you've read some good ones recently. I'm really interested in finding a new history book to read, so I hope someone may have a recommendation. It would be great if you could let me know what you think is worth reading.

Re: Do you have any history book recommendations?

Hi, Cayitam! I'd recommend Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari. It's a fascinating introduction to human history, telling the story of humans from ancient days to today's modern world. The book talks about big turning points in human history. Harari also asks interesting questions, such as whether things like money or nations are just "stories" we all believe in together. It's an easy-to-read book that makes you think differently about history. Happy reading!

26. 阅读下面短文,用英语回答短文后的问题。
It was a happy time for me, but there were many dangers because of my small size. There were some incidents (事件) that I remembered clearly.
Every morning Glumdalclitch carried my box to the window. One day she carried me to the window as usual, and then she left me there. Some huge wasps came in through the window, and entered the box. They were the size of birds in England, and they were very fierce (凶猛的). I was afraid of them. I took out my sword and fought against them. I killed four of them. Luckily, the others flew away.
Another dangerous moment that I remembered was this: Glumdalclitch left me in the garden one day, and the weather was very bad. First it rained, and then it hailed (下冰雹) very hard. The hailstones were the size of tennis balls, and they hurt me badly. I tried to hide under a tree, but I was still hit by some of them.
Another danger came from an idea that the Queen had. She knew that I liked boats, and she ordered one of her servants to make a little boat for me. The servant put the boat into a tank of water on the table. I spent many hours in this boat. One day, however, a frog jumped into the boat. I thought the boat would sink, and I was afraid. I was lucky, and I managed to push the frog out of the boat.
—Taken from Gulliver's Travels
(1)、Why did Gulliver have many dangers?(2)、From the text above, what was as big as the size of birds in England?(3)、How did Gulliver try to keep himself safe from the hailstones?(4)、How did Gulliver feel when the frog jumped into the boat?(5)、What do you think of Gulliver?九、书面表达(满分15 分)
