A
A
long
time
ago,
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )there
was
an
emperor.
He
had
a
beautiful
garden.
In
the
garden,
there
was
a
little
nightingale
(夜莺)
singing
very
beautifully.
One
day,
the
emperor
h
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eard
about
this
little
bird’s
beautiful
voice.
He
asked
his
guards
to
bring
her
to
him.
As
soon
as
the
emperor
heard
the
nightingale’s
voice,
he
said,
“Put
her
in
a
golden
cage,
so
she
can
stay
and
sing
for
me
whenever
I
want
to
hear
her.”
The
little
bi
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rd
was
so
unhappy
about
being
kept
in
the
cage
that
she
stopped
singing
one
day.
The
emperor
was
very
angry.
He
ordered
the
scientists
in
his
palace
to
make
a
robot
bird
for
him.
The
bird
could
sing
very
beautifully，too.
The
emperor
was
pleased.
Soon
the
rob
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ot
bird
became
old.
It
no
longer
sang
beautiful
songs.
Just
at
that
time，the
emperor
became
very
weak.
One
morning,
while
lying
in
bed,
the
emperor
wanted
it
to
sing
once
again.
But
the
robot
bird
couldn’t
sing
any
more.
Suddenly,
the
nightingale
landed
on
the
window.
She
began
to
sing
her
most
beautiful
song.
The
emperor
was
very
happy!
He
became
better
and
better
each
day.
After
the
emperor
w
( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )as
well,
he
changed
a
lot
and
became
kind
to
his
people.
From
then
on,
all
his
people
cherished(爱戴)
him
for
his
love
and
kindness.

what

call

7．C。文章中的he
built
it

want

the
bridge
to
be
strong
and
