二、 新语篇 二十四孝故事 阅读二十四孝故事，完成下列各题。
Huang Xiang was a boy famous for his filial piety(孝道). After his mother died, he devoted(奉献) himself to his father. In summer, he fanned his father's pillow to cool it. In winter, he lay on the icy mat to warm it before his father slept. People praised(表扬) him everywhere. He taught us that true filial piety brings comfort(舒适) to parents.
Long ago, a boy named Kong Rong was
given a basket of pears. His father offered him the largest one, but Kong Rong refused(拒绝). He chose the smallest pear instead(替代). His father was surprised. Kong Rong explained, “I am the youngest, so I should take the smallest.” His brothers should have the bigger ones. Everyone praised him for being modest and polite. The story teaches us to care for others and think of them first.
In ancient China, Wang Xiang had a strict(严厉的) stepmother. One winter, she fell ill and wanted fresh fish. The river was frozen(冰冻的) solid(固体的), so Wang Xiang lay on the ice to melt it with his body heat. Suddenly, the ice cracked(裂开) and two carps jumped out. He took them home. His stepmother was shocked by his devotion and ate the fish. From then on, she treated him kindly. This story teaches us to be filial even in hard times.
