The following text is for questions 15 to 20.
Part 1
Sima Guang was nine years old. He liked to play in his backyard with his friends Wang Wei, Li Na, and Zhang Yong.
Part 2
One day, Sima's friends were playing in the yard. Wang Wei said, "I bet I can go up to the top of the water vat!" A water vat is a big clay jar used to keep rain water.
"Do not go to the top of the water vat!" said Li Na. "It's too high."
"It is not too high for me!" said Wang Wei.
"Come down here and play," said Sima Guang.
"I want to go up!" said Wang Wei. When he was at the top, he called, "Look at me - one foot!"
"That is good!" said Zhang Yong.
Then - oh, no! Wang Wei fell down into the water vat!
"I cannot swim!" he called. "The water is too deep!"
"We must run for help!" said Li Na.
"No!" said Sima Guang. "That will take too long!"
"Then we cannot do anything to help," yelled Li Na in fear. "Ahhh!" yelled Zhang Yong in fear, too. "Ahhh!" They yelled together.
Part 3
"Pick me up! Pick me up!" Sima Guang heard someone talking but he was sure that it was not one of his friends' voices. Then he saw a small red rock jump up and down.
Part 4
"The rock can talk!." Sima Guang screamed to his surprise, finding a talking rock.
Sima Guang picked up the rock. "Throw me at the bottom of the water vat," said the rock. Sima Guang threw the rock at the bottom of the water vat. The vat did not crack. He picked up the rock and threw it again. There was a very small crack this time. Then a bigger wave of water flew out of the broken water vat.
And with the wave of water, out rolled Wang Wei!

What can we learn from the story?
Do not play too much.
Use your both feet when standing at the top of a vat.
Leave a vat empty.
Be careful and don't be arrogant.
