三、阅读与回答问题
According to some old Chinese stories, there once was an ancient emperor named Shennong. At that time, people could not tell the difference between medicinal and poisonous (有毒的) plants. When they got sick, there was no medicine to treat their illnesses. Many sick people could only wait for death.
To save his people, Shennong decided to find and test out different plants. He and his followers set out on a journey in search of medicinally effective plants. Once, they saw a large forest on a high cliff (悬崖) from a distance. There must be many different kinds of plants, but they couldn't find a way to the cliff. Suddenly, they saw some monkeys climbing along the vines and trees hanging down from the cliff. Shennong was inspired by the scene. He asked his followers to cut down the tree trunks and vines. Together they built a scaffold (脚手架). With its help, they climbed to the cliff and collected many valuable plants.
Each time the team found a new type of plant, Shennong would taste it himself. Some plants made him sleepy. Some caused him to suffer pains in his stomach. Some made him tremble (颤抖) all over. After searching and testing over a long period of time, he and his followers discovered hundreds of medicinal plants.
As they continued their search, the team found a plant with small yellow flowers on a mountain. When a young man reached for it, the plant moved like a worm. Shennong picked off one piece from the plant in order to taste it.
Suddenly, Shennong’s face turned pale and he fell on the ground. Blood flowed from his mouth and nose. Even after he was given the leaves from other medicinal plants, he was still not able to recover. The emperor soon took his last breath. People covered him with thousands of flowers. From then on, they called him the “Emperor of Medicine”.

### 三、阅读与回答问题
根据一些古老的中国故事，曾经有一位名叫神农的古代帝王。在那个时候，人们无法区分药用植物和有毒植物。当他们生病时，没有药物来治疗他们的疾病。许多病人只能等待死亡。
为了拯救他的子民，神农决定寻找并测试不同的植物。他和他的追随者踏上了寻找有药用功效植物的旅程。有一次，他们从远处看到悬崖上有一片大森林。那里一定有许多不同种类的植物，但他们找不到通往悬崖的路。突然，他们看到一些猴子沿着从悬崖垂下的藤蔓和树木攀爬。神农受到这一场景的启发。他让他的追随者砍倒树干和藤蔓。他们一起搭建了一个脚手架。在它的帮助下，他们爬上了悬崖，采集了许多珍贵的植物。
每次团队发现一种新植物，神农都会亲自品尝它。有些植物让他昏昏欲睡。有些让他胃痛。有些让他浑身颤抖。经过长时间的寻找和测试，他和他的追随者发现了数百种药用植物。
当他们继续寻找时，团队在一座山上发现了一种开着小黄花的植物。当一个年轻人伸手去拿它时，这种植物像虫子一样移动。神农从这种植物上摘下一片来品尝。
突然，神农的脸色变得苍白，他倒在了地上。血从他的嘴和鼻子里流出来。即使给他服用了其他药用植物的叶子，他仍然无法康复。这位帝王很快就断气了。人们用成千上万朵花覆盖了他。从那时起，他们称他为“医药之帝”。
