三、阅读单选
Americans will long remember President Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the UnitedStates.
At the age of 19, Abraham Lincoln took a boat down the Ohio River to New Orleans. There Lincoln saw for the first time slaves being sold in the marketplace. At that time, Lincoln made up his mind to work to end slavery for the rest of his life.
In 1836, Lincoln became a lawyer and was famous for being hard—working and honest. He believed that the US stood for freedom for all. He wanted to become a senator(参议员). In 1858, Lincoln debated(争论) against Stephen Douglas who was also a candidate for the Senate from Illinois.
Because of the Lincoln—Douglas debates, Lincoln became known across the country. Then he decided to run for the presidency in 1860. At last he ran against Stephen Douglas and two other candidates.
Lincoln took the oath(誓言) of office to become president of the United States on March 4, 1861. It was a difficult time to be president. Many southern states did not agree with Lincoln about canceling slavery, and declared(宣布) that they were no longer part of the US. The famous Civil War began in April, 1861.
Lincoln’s Union Army fought the Southern Confederate Armies. Many soldiers were killed in the battles. One of the battles took place in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. In 1863, a ceremony was held to memorize the dead on the Gettysburg battlefield. Lincoln made a famous speech known as the Gettysburg Address.
Unfortunately, Lincoln was shot while watching a play at Ford’s Theatre and passed away on the morning of April 15, 1865.

The Shirt of a Happy Man
A long time ago, in a rich and peaceful country, there lived an unhappy king. He slept badly and didn’t feel like eating. His face was always pale as chalk. He often cried for no reason. This made the queen and his people worried.
One day, a doctor was called in to examine the king. But he found nothing wrong with his body. “It’s all in his mind. Neither medicine nor rest can help him. What he needs is the shirt of a happy person to wear. That’ll make him happy.”
The prime minister was called to the palace. But when they explained the king’s situation to him, he said, “Although I have a lot of power, it doesn’t make me happy. I’m always worried about losing my power. Many people are trying to take my position.”
Then, the king’s banker came to the palace. “Oh, I’m afraid I’m not happy either,” he said. I have a lot of wealth, but I’m always worried about losing my money. Someone tries to steal my money every day.”
Next, the palace singer came to the king’s room. But this is what he said: “It’s true that I’m famous and everyone loves my songs. But I’m not happy because I’m always worried about being followed by others. I cannot be free!”
Finally, the king’s top general was told to go out and find a happy man in three days’ time. He searched and searched but couldn’t find anyone. Everyone seemed to have their own problems, and no one was truly happy. Just as he wanted to give up, he saw a poor man on the street. He was eating with his hands and singing happily to himself. The general went to him and said, “What makes you so happy You have no power, money, or fame. ” The man said, “I have everything I want, and I don’t want what I can’t have. So I’m happy, and my song comes from the happiness in my heart.” “Can you give your shirt to me, I need it,” said the general. “What shirt I don’t have any shirts,” answered the man.
1. What was wrong with the king
2. What could make him happy according to (根据) the doctor
3. Who was called into the palace then Were they happy Why or why not
4. Did the general find the shirt of the happy man Why or why not
