The brush pen, one of the "Four Treasures of the Study", was invented thousands of years ago. However, the oldest pen was just a stick or a piece of bamboo. It was difficult for people to write well on thin silk.
It is said that Meng Tian, a general (将军) of the State of Qin, improved the pen. When Meng was leading an army to fight against the State of Chu, he had to report the situation to his king in time. But his pen was too hard and caused him much trouble, so he was thinking of ways to improve it.
One day after hunting, Meng made his way home with some wild rabbits on the horse back. Fat and heavy, one rabbit's tail left a long trail (痕迹) on the ground when they moved on. Suddenly a good idea came to his mind, "If I tie the rabbit's hair to a stick, would it be easy to write with?"
On arriving home, he tied the rabbit's hair to a stick and tried writing with it. But the rabbit's hair was too smooth to write well and wasted a lot of silk. Meng was so disappointed (失望的) that he threw away his "invention" into a stone hole in the yard.
However, Meng never gave up and kept trying all the time. A few rainy days later, he happened to find his "invention" fatter in a stone hole. He picked it up with hope. The brush worked beautifully on silk. It turned out that the special water had cleaned the oil from the hair. Meng succeeded at last.
Thanks to Meng, the brush pen is playing a key role in Chinese culture. Today, students are taught to use the brush pens in school. It makes their life more colourful and helps them better understand Chinese culture.

### 五、阅读理解
毛笔作为“文房四宝”之一，发明于数千年前。然而，最古老的笔仅仅是一根木棍或一段竹子。人们很难在薄丝绸上书写得工整。
据说，秦国将军蒙恬改进了毛笔。当蒙恬率领军队与楚国作战时，他必须及时向国王汇报战况。但他的笔太硬，给他带来了很多麻烦，所以他一直在想办法改进它。
一天打猎之后，蒙恬骑着马，带着几只野兔回家。其中一只兔子又肥又重，在他们前行时，它的尾巴在地上留下了一条长长的痕迹。突然，他想到了一个好主意：“如果我把兔毛绑在一根木棍上，用它书写会不会容易些？”
回到家后，他把兔毛绑在一根木棍上，试着用它书写。但兔毛太光滑了，书写不顺畅，还浪费了很多丝绸。蒙恬非常失望，就把他的“发明”扔进了院子里的一个石洞里。
然而，蒙恬从未放弃，一直不断尝试。几天后的一个雨天，他偶然发现他的“发明”在石洞里变得更粗了。他满怀希望地把它捡了起来。毛笔在丝绸上书写得非常流畅。原来，这种特殊的水清洗掉了兔毛上的油脂。蒙恬最终成功了。
多亏了蒙恬，毛笔在中国文化中发挥着关键作用。如今，学生们在学校里被教导使用毛笔。这使他们的生活更加丰富多彩，并帮助他们更好地了解中国文化。
1. 蒙恬为什么想要改进毛笔？
A. 因为国王要求他这么做。
B. 因为他想成为一名发明家。
C. 因为他没有丝绸可以书写。

2. 在第三段中，蒙恬什么时候想到了这个好主意？
A. 打猎之前。
B. 当他看到痕迹的时候。
C. 清洗兔毛的时候。
D. 他写完报告之后。
3. 改进毛笔的正确顺序是什么？
a. 毛笔可以书写得很顺畅。
b. 蒙恬把兔毛绑在木棍上。
c. 特殊的水把油脂冲洗掉了。
d. 蒙恬把木棍扔进了石洞里。
4. 根据文章，学生们怎样才能更好地了解中国文化？
A. 通过学习使用毛笔。
B. 通过发挥作用。
C. 通过种植更多竹子。
D. 通过发明东西。
5. 我们从这篇文章中能学到什么？
A. 和动物交朋友。
