Once upon a time, there was a young man called Ma Liang. He was poor and kind and helped a rich man to
tend cattle. He liked drawing and drew pictures everywhere. One night, he dreamed that an old man gave him a
magic paintbrush and asked him to use it to help poor people. When he woke up, he found the magic paintbrush
in his desk.
From that day on, he used the paintbrush whenever people needed help. When he saw that people had no
water to use in the fields, he drew a river and the river came to life. People could bring water from the river to the
field and save a lot of time and energy.
But a few days later, the rich man heard that the magic paint brush could turn everything to life. He was a
bad man, so he had an idea to steal the paint brush from the young man. He knew that he could make a lot of
money by turning things to life and keeping them, so he sent some people to the Ma Liang's home and took him
to the prison. He got the magic paintbrush and felt very happy.

Then he invited a lot of his friends to come to his home and showed them the magic paintbrush. He drew a
lot of pictures, but they could not become real. He was very angry and asked some people to get Ma Liang.
When Ma Liang came, he said to him, "If you draw some pictures for me and turn them to life, I will set you
free." The young man knew that he was a bad man in the village. Of course he did not want to help him. He had
an idea. He said to the bad man, "I can help you, but you should obey your words."
The bad man felt very happy and said, "I want a golden mountain. I will go there to gather gold." The young
man drew a sea first. The bad man was angry and said," Why did you draw a sea? I do not want this. I want a
golden mountain. Draw it quickly."
Then the young man drew a golden mountain which was far away from the sea. The bad man saw that and
felt very happy. He said, "Draw a big ship quickly. I want to go there to gather gold." The young man smiled
quietly and drew a big ship. The bad man jumped into the ship first and a lot of his family and friends jumped in
too. When the ship sailed to the middle of the sea, the young man drew a large wave, and it destroyed the ship.
After that, the young man lived with his family happily and kept on helping the poor people. So, the magic

The following text is for questions 17 to 19.
There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. He could get angry easily. His father gave him a bag of nails
and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence. The first day, the
boy had hammered 37 nails into the fence. For the next few weeks, as he could control his anger, the number of
nails hammered was getting smaller. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to hammer those nails into
the fence.
Finally, the day came when the boy didn't get angry at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested
that the boy now pull out one nail each day he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the boy was finally
able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.
The father took his son and led him to the fence. He said, "You have done well, my son! but look at the holes in
the fence. They still remain until now. It will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar
just like this one. It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound is still there.

Henry Ford was a famous American engineer and car manufacturer. He was born on a farm in Dearborn in
Michigan in 1863.
He was firstly man to mass produce cars at a price which people can afford. Although at first he made
automobiles that only rich people could afford, he wanted to build a car that was cheap enough for most families to
own and in 1903 he succeeded.
Ford was very interested in horseless carriages. He decided to build one himself. He began to experiment with
engines until his first car was made in 1893. Night after night he would work on it like a mad man. At last, in 1896
the vehicle was ready for a trial run. He then ran it round the block. It went well. Finally, in 1903, the Ford Motor
company was founded.
The thing that made his company famous was his mass production line. Instead of having each person build the
entire motor car, he had one person doing their own small job. Because this saved a lot of time and money, Ford
could offer more cars to the American public at a lower price than anyone before him.
