From line drawing to coloring, he gradually felt a stronger and deeper connection with the character. “Sometimes, I failed to get myself out of the character and just cannot stop crying. Such immersive experiences make me even more deeply respect the character,” said Zhang Han.

（2022秋·广东广州·九年级校考期中）In Ancient Arab, there were many fables (传说), and people could learn a lot by reading the stories. Here is a story about wisdom. Long ago, a young prince had just recently become a king. In order to rule his kingdom, he decided to learn all the wisdom of the world. Therefore, he gathered all the wise men from his kingdom and abroad and ordered them to look for books for him to read and learn from.
Five years passed quickly. The wise men returned with their camels, carrying 5,000 books full of wisdom. Seeing so many books, the king was so shocked that he didn’t know how to start. Then one day he had an idea—he ordered the wise men to condense all the 5,000 books and bring them back to him.
Another five years passed. The wise men again went to see the king, this time bringing 500 books, but the king still thought there were too many books for him to read.
Five more years passed. The wise men brought back 50 books. At this time, the king was troubled with many problems, but he still felt there were too many books.
During the next five years, the wise man worked hard to condense the 50 books into one book and presented it to the king. The king took no interest in reading this book, nor did he have time to learn from it. More problems broke out in his kingdom—his enemies endlessly attacked and diseases spread all over his country and many of his people became ill. He did not have the wisdom to solve these problems. He did not know what to do!
Waiting for wisdom to come to you is just a way of being lazy. If there is no action, there can be no gain. Only if we set out to seek (寻找) wisdom can we make a difference.

（2022秋·广东广州·九年级校考期中）In Ancient Arab, there were many fables (传说), and people could learn a lot by reading the stories. Here is a story about wisdom. Long ago, a young prince had just recently become a king. In order to rule his kingdom, he decided to learn all the wisdom of the world. Therefore, he gathered all the wise men from his kingdom and abroad and ordered them to look for books for him to read and learn from.
Five years passed quickly. The wise men returned with their camels, carrying 5,000 books full of wisdom. Seeing so many books, the king was so shocked that he didn’t know how to start. Then one day he had an idea—he ordered the wise men to condense all the 5,000 books and bring them back to him.
Another five years passed. The wise men again went to see the king, this time bringing 500 books, but the king still thought there were too many books for him to read.
Five more years passed. The wise men brought back 50 books. At this time, the king was troubled with many problems, but he still felt there were too many books.
During the next five years, the wise man worked hard to condense the 50 books into one book and presented it to the king. The king took no interest in reading this book, nor did he have time to learn from it. More problems broke out in his kingdom—his enemies endlessly attacked and diseases spread all over his country and many of his people became ill. He did not have the wisdom to solve these problems. He did not know what to do!
Waiting for wisdom to come to you is just a way of being lazy. If there is no action, there can be no gain. Only if we set out to seek (寻找) wisdom can we make a difference.
35．Why did the king gather all the wise men
A．To help him rule the kingdom.

A．To make the books smaller than ever.
B．To make the price of books lower.
C．To put much information into a small space.
D．To make the books easier than ever.
37．How many years did it take to condense 500 books into one book
A．5 years. B．10 years. C．15 years. D．20 years.
38．What can we learn from this passage
A．Time and tide wait for no man.
B．Wisdom can make a country strong.
C．Wisdom won’t come to you by itself.
D．The meaning of living is to find wisdom.
