【解析】你听说过阿凡提吗？他是很久以前新疆那里一个很聪明的人，这篇故事中给我们讲述了关于聪明的阿凡提的一个故事。
【1】根据短文的开头Once upon a time，there lived a clever man in Xinjiang．His name was Afanti．以及这个故事的内容可知，阿凡提是一个很聪明的人。故填Clever。
【2】根据短文中The people lived an unhappy life．But they couldn’t talk more about that．Because if the king knew their complaints(抱怨)，he would kill them．可知，人们过着不开心的生活，但是他们又不能抱怨，因为如果国王知道他们抱怨的话，他就会杀死他们。
【3】根据短文中And he complained about the king all the time．Then the king knew about it and sent for Afanti可知，因为阿凡提总是抱怨，所以国王知道了他。
【4】根据短文中“How many stars are there in the sky?”the king asked．以及 “Then,how many hairs does my beard have?”可知，国王问了阿凡提两个问题。
【5】根据故事的最后“Your beard has as many hairs as my donkey’s tail．If you don’t believe(相信)it，you can count them．可知，阿凡提说国王的胡须和他的毛驴的尾巴一样多。as many as是固定短语，和…一样多。
