四、阅读理解。

Andersen was born in 1805 in Denmark(丹麦). Because his family was very poor, Andersen had to leave school when he was 11. But he loved reading books by great writers like William Shakespeare. When he was 17, Andersen began to write. His first storybook came out in 1835.
From then on, he wrote almost one book a year for 37 years. During his life, Andersen wrote hundreds of fairy tales(童话故事).
Andersen showed his ideas through his stories. For example, he showed his anger in The Emperor's New Clothes. In that story, two tailors(裁缝) play a trick on an emperor. They make the emperor walk in the street without clothes. In The Ugly Duckling, everyone laughs at the "ugly duckling", but it grows up to be a beautiful swan.

“Prepare to die!” shouted the genie. “A long time ago, I made a promise. If someone set me free, I would make them rich and powerful. But no one ever came. After years and years of waiting, I became very angry. If anyone set me free, I would
kill them instead of giving them anything. So, you must die!”
“Since I must die, I must do something. But before I die, answer me one question.”
“All right, but be quick.”
“Were you really in the bottle? You are so big, but the bottle is so small that it could hardly hold one of your feet.”
“Of course I was in the bottle. Don't you believe me?”
“No, and I won't believe you until I see you in the bottle with my own eyes.”
When he heard this, the genie changed into a cloud. Slowly the cloud went back into the bottle. When all of it was in the bottle, the fisherman quickly put the lid on and threw it back into the sea.
