Once upon a time, there were two high mountains, Taihang Mountain and Wangwu Mountain.Because the two mountains blocked (阻碍) the way, the villagers had to walk a long way around the mountain s whenever they had something to do on the other s{#blank#}1{#/blank#} of the mountains.

Just to the n{#blank#}2{#/blank#} part of the mountains lived an old man called Yu Gong. He has lived theres{#blank#}3{#/blank#} he was a little child. One day, he called all his family together and said:"The two mountains are too much in the way. Let's move them away."Everyone agreed to have a try, e{#blank#}4{#/blank#} his wife. She said:"Are you crazy? An old man like you cannot even move a small hill, not to mention the two high mountains. You should give up."

However, Yu Gong wouldn't accept his wife's a{#blank#}5{#/blank#} and started to lead his children to dig the mountains. A man named Zhi Sou laughed at them and said:"You are so silly!You're so old and weak. How can you move the high mountains?"

"How do you know it is i{#blank#}6{#/blank#}?"Yu Gong said."My sons can c{#blank#}7{#/blank#}my work after my death. When my sons die, my grandchildren will keep doing it. So generations after generations, there's no end. But the mountains can't grow higher. Do you still think I am u{#blank#}8{#/blank#} to move them away?"

Several days later, the Heaven God h{#blank#}9{#/blank#} of Yu Gong's story. It greatly t{#blank#}10{#/blank#} the Heaven God, so he asked another god to take the two high mountains away.

The story tells us that as long as one is determined (有决心的) and sticks (坚持) to it long enough, anything can be done, no matter how difficult it is.

 阅读下面的短文,完成任务。

In Anhui Province, an about two- metre-wide alley(小巷), or "Liu Chi Xiang" in Chinese, now attracts a lot of visitors. It has a story behind it.

During the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Ying, a minister(大臣), received a letter from his family in Anhui Province one day. From the letter, Zhang learnt that his family quarrelled with their neighbour Wu because of the two sides' house boundary(边界).

Then, Zhang wrote a poem to advise the family to be generous(大度的). What he said enlightened(启发) the family members as the wall was only a little thing. It was the close relationship with their neighbours that mattered. They decided to move their wall about one metre back for their neighbour. In return, the Wu family also moved back another metre. Thus, it made an about two-metre-wide alley between the houses.

Now, the alley has become very famous because people see it as enlightenment, telling people to obey public morals(道德) and keep harmony(和谐).
