国王在河边建造了一座宫殿,大臣觉得宫殿旁边的一间小屋与宫殿极不协调,于是试图说服住在里面的老妇人把小 屋卖给国王,但善良的国王却允许老妇人留下这个小屋。

4. D belong to意为“属于”,为常用搭配。由下文可知这间小屋属于一位老妇人。
5. B由上文可知老妇人住在那间小屋里,故大臣应该是走到小屋那里,跟老妇人说话。
6. A 倒数第二段提到了“But the old lady refused to sell her hut to the King. ”,由此可知老妇人不接受大臣的提议。accept意为“接受”,符合此处语境。

When you sleep at a summer camp,you know you’re there for a fun time. But fun as this is,for some kids being away from home can be scary and sad. They start to miss their old beds and their parents. It's called being homesick. You can help yourself feel less homesick. Here's how:
If you’re going away from home,bring your pillow or your favorite pajamas. Or maybe you have a favorite bedtime snack. If you’re going to camp,maybe your mom or dad could pack it in your suitcase. You can also bring pictures of the people you’ll be apart from and look at them any time you want.
Spend more time in doing fun things. The more fun things you do,the less time you’ll have to feel homesick. So try to take part in activities and soon you might start to have a good time.
You can make a plan to call your mum or dad. For a night visit,maybe you can call once that night,and again in the morning. In the camp,you might set a regular day and time for a phone call home. You can also send e-mails or short messages to keep in touch with family and friends. If you’re going to be away for a while,you might even write a letter!When you get in touch with someone,make sure to tell them about the fun things you’re doing!
Sometimes,just tell someone that you’re feeling homesick. This will help you feel better. Maybe you can tell a friend that you feel homesick. And the two of you can do something fun,such as telling jokes. If you’re at camp,a camp counselor (顾问) would be a good person to talk to. He or she might have some ideas to help you feel better.
