四、(2024·赤峰改编)阅读与回答问题。〔人与社会——历史、社会与文化(传统文化)〕
In 223 BC Meng Tian(蒙恬) led the army in a war against the Chu Kingdom. In those days, people wrote on silk with a kind of stick pen. The stick pen was very hard and made writing very slow. Meng Tian had to often write a great number of reports about the battlefield situation to the ruler. He was frustrated(沮丧的) with the difficulty of writing, so he decided to make improvements.
Between battles, Meng enjoyed hunting. One day, Meng hunted a wild rabbit. It was fat and heavy and its tail left a trail(痕迹) on the ground. Meng suddenly had an idea. He immediately tied the rabbit's tail to a stick and tried writing with it. But the rabbit's hair was too oily(含油的) to hold the ink. Meng felt very sad and threw his "rabbit hair brush pen" away.
However, Meng Tian couldn't accept the failure and continued to spend time wondering how to improve the brush pen. A few days later, he was having a walk outside for some fresh air. By chance, he found the rabbit hair brush pen that he had thrown away again. He picked it up and found that it had changed and was soft and wet—holding water. Meng Tian got inspiration at once. He put the rabbit hair brush pen back in the ink and found it worked beautifully on silk.
1. What did people write with in 223 BC?
2. What was Meng Tian's hobby between battles?
3. How did Meng Tian feel when he failed to write with the rabbit's hair?
4. What happened after Meng Tian picked the rabbit hair brush pen up?
5. What do you think of Meng Tian? (请自拟一句话作答)
