Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题)

My _______

“The atlas(地图册)I grew up with was a hand-me-down from my brother, dog-eared Collins World Atlas.

This became my favourite book, and I was touched that he thought I was grown-up enough to appreciate it.

After wars, my atlas was considered incorrect and out of date and I had to buy a new one for school. But I still missed the well-used pages and old-book smell. I carefully tore(撕)pages out of my old atlas, and glued them on cardboard. My father helped me to cut them into jigsaw puzzles as gifts for my friends.

Google search is an easy way to find various places, but I still prefer to search for exotic places in a real-turning atlas. One day it may be priceless!”

“When I was 13, I wanted a horse of my own. Finally my parents softened to the idea and bought me a beautiful part-Arabian horse. To settle on a name, my father suggested I open our atlas to the page on Saudi Arabia, close my eyes and place my finger randomly(随机地)on the page. Bandar Shah(Royal Port)was a wonderful horse.”

“When I retired after 20 years with the same boss Reader’s Digest, I did not expect to be given a gold watch. I certainly did not expect to be given a Reader’s Digest Atlas of the World. But that is exactly what my co-workers decided I needed. For the next 15 years that atlas was used by my family to settle geographic arguments and plan trips abroad. Sadly, wear and tear forced its retirement, too.”

Help the King !

Many years ago there lived a kind-hearted king. The king spent days in his bed. He always ate and slept. He became very fat and the people started to worry about him.

One day he realized that he couldn't move his feet. He invited (遨请) doctors from all across his country and gave them thousands of money to make him fit. But none could help the king with his health and fitness. The king was very nice so many people suggested famous doctors to help him. He spent lots of money but nothing seemed to work.

One fine morning, a man named Rishi told the minister(大臣) he could easily make the king healthy again. The king was very happy and wanted to meet him. The king couldn't move his body so he asked the minister to bring Rishi to his palace(宫殿). Rishi lived in a far place and refused(拒绝) to go to the king's palace. This made the king angry, but he knew he had to try.

The king tried his best to meet Rishi. Rishi said he was a good king and he would soon be healthy again. He asked the king to come for treatment every day. He told the king he would treat him only if he came on foot to his place.

The king was unable to walk even a few steps on the road but he worked hard with the help of his followers. He reached Rishi's place. Unluckily Rishi was not there so the king only met him the next day for treatment. For two weeks the king went there every day but he never met Rishi. He never had any treatment but he realized he felt a lot lighter. He lost a lot of weight and felt more active than before. He understood why Rishi asked him to reach his place by walking.
