The hard-working little red hen
勤劳的小红母鸡
One day, a little red hen wanted some yummy bread. First,
she had to plant lots of wheat seeds. "Will you help me plant
wheat seeds?" she asked her animal friends. "No way," said the
sleepy cat, busy dog, and lazy pig. "Then I'll do it myself," said
the little red hen. And she did.
Next, she had to harvest all the tall wheat. "Will you help me

harvest the wheat?" she asked her animal friends. "No way," said
the sleepy cat, busy dog, and lazy pig. "Then I'll do it myself,"
said the little red hen. And she did.
Then, she had to grind the wheat into flour. "Will you help me
grind the wheat into flour?" she asked her animal friends. "No
way," said the sleepy cat, busy dog, and lazy pig. "Then I'll do it
myself," said the little red hen. And she did.
Finally, she baked the yummy bread. The yummy smell went
all over the farm. "We'd like a piece!" said the sleepy cat, busy

dog, and lazy pig. "No way. You didn't help. I'll eat it myself,"
said the little red hen. And she did.

【分析】
要解决这道排序题，首先需要梳理文章的事件发展逻辑。第一步要找到事件的起始句，文章开篇就点明了故事的开端：小红母鸡想要美味的面包。接着，文章通过First（首先）、Next（接下来）、Then（然后）、Finally（最后）这些表示顺序的标志词，依次介绍了小红母鸡种小麦种子、收割小麦、把小麦磨成面粉、烤面包的过程。我们只需要将题目中的句子与这些步骤一一对应，就能完成排序。
【解析】
1. 确定起始句：文章以“One day, a little red hen wanted some yummy bread.”开篇，这是故事的起点，所以该句排第1位。
2. 匹配First对应的步骤：文中First之后提到“she had to plant lots of wheat seeds”，对应题目中的“She had to plant the wheat seeds.”，排第2位。
3. 匹配Next对应的步骤：文中Next之后提到“she had to harvest all the tall wheat”，对应题目中的“She had to harvest the wheat.”，排第3位。
4. 匹配Then对应的步骤：文中Then之后提到“she had to grind the wheat into flour”，对应题目中的“She had to grind the wheat into flour.”，排第4位。
5. 匹配Finally对应的步骤：文中Finally之后提到“she baked the yummy bread”，对应题目中的“She baked the yummy bread.”，排第5位。
因此，最终的排序为：(3)She had to harvest the wheat.；(5)She baked the yummy bread.；(1)One day, a little red hen wanted some yummy bread.；(4)She had to grind the wheat into flour.；(2)She had to plant the wheat seeds.
