Question

【题目】阅读短文，根据短文内容回答下列问题。

Once upon a time, there was a very special little witch (女巫). She was special because she was kind, but she had no idea how to put that kindness into practice. And she couldn’t find anyone to teach her how to do good. So the little witch was sad most of the time.

One day she heard that the old witches were planning to cast a spell (咒语) on a big mountain and turn it into a volcano (火山), which would destroy (破坏) a small town. The good little witch then went to tell the people about this, but they didn’t believe her and threw stones at her.

The little witch ran off, and sat crying at the side of the road. Soon a few children came by. She told them everything. The children told her that doing good was very easy. All you had to do was to help others, do good deeds (做好事) for them.

“And what can I do for you?”, asked the witch.

“You could give us some candies!” They told her, happily. The witch was very worried, because she had no candies, and she didn’t know the spell for making them. But the children didn’t mind, and they went off to play.

The little witch was encouraged (受到鼓励) by this, and decided to help everyone. On her way, she met the old witches casting their spell on the mountain. Some magic words came into her head. Suddenly the fire on the mountain turned into lots of candies and fell onto the town below.

And that’s how the little witch learned how to do good: by sincerely (真诚地) wanting to help others. From that day on, everyone made friends with her, and they called her The Candy Witch.
