More than anything else in the world, Lion liked being King of the jungle.  He walked around, showing off his power and pride.

Each day Lion took a long lazy sleep under the shade of his favourite tree.  He always dreamed of weaker animals bowing(鞠躬) before him.

One day Mouse ran through the jungle and tripped over Lion’s huge paws.  Lion woke up with a start.  “How dare you wake me up! ”  he shouted angrily.  Lion grabbed Mouse with one paw.  “On the second thought, I’m in the mood for the snack, and you’ll make a delicious meal.”, he said.

Mouse cried out, “King Lion, please spare(饶恕) me! If you let me live, I’ll always remember your kindness.  And, some day, I might be able to help you.”

“ How could such a powerless little mouse ever help me?” That thought made Lion laugh so much that he decided to let Mouse go.  A week later, Lion was walking through the jungle on the way to his favourite tree when he stepped onto a hunter’s net.  The net scooped him up. No matter how he twisted and turned, he couldn’t escape.

When Mouse heard Lion’s frightened shouts, he raced to help. Mouse quickly chewed(咬)through the ropes to make a hole in the net.  Soon, Lion moved out and was free. Lion looked down at the little mouse. “Thank you for saving my life,” said Lion, smiling his widest smile.  “I was mistaken.  You are not a powerless little mouse.  You are a great friend!”

 阅读填空,阅读下面短文,根据所读内容,在文章后第1-10小题大空格里填入一个最恰当的单词

   注意:每个空格只填1个单词

   Mayme Clayton collected books, magazines and letters

written by African Americans.  Her son, Avery Clayton,        

thought her collection was important. Unlike most books,

these were rare and hard to find.  They were written

by writers who helped shape African American culture.

  One book in the collection was written by Phillis Wheatley.  Wheatley was a slave who wrote poetry.  She was the first African American to publish (出版) a book. Wheatley herself signed (签名) the book in the Claytons’ collection.  No one else owns a copy signed by Phillis Wheatley.

  By the time she passed away at age 83, Mrs. Clayton had more than 30,000 books by or about black people.  Her collection also includes papers about slaves, photographs, movies, sheet music, and personal letters by black leaders and artists.  It is one of the biggest personal collections of African American history and culture in the United States.

   Avery Clayton’s dream was to create a museum for his mother’s treasures.  Scholars say that Mrs. Clayton’s collection is very important.  Without her work, part of African American heritage (遗产) would have been lost. “We didn’t know these things existed,” says Sara Hadron of California’s Huntington Library.

   The collections new home is likely to be in Culver City, California.  Part of Avery Clayton’s dream is to share the cultural riches his mother collected with others. He especially wants kids to have a chance to see the collection.  “ At present African American culture is being explained by pop culture,” he says, “ It’s important to offer a more complete picture.”
