阅读四：King Hui of Wei (named Wei Ying) made a treaty with King Wei of Qi (named Tian Houmou), but King Wei of Qi broke it. King of Wei was furious and was seeking revenge. Some advisors suggested that the king should send troops to attack Qi. Some said that he shouldn’t. Huazi suggested that the king should seek to discover the Dao, and he brought Dai Jinren to tell the king a story.Dai Jin-ren said, ’There is a creature called a snail; does your majesty know it?''I do.''On the left horn of the snail there is a kingdom which is called Provocation, and on the right horn another which is called Stupidity. These two kingdoms are continuously arguing about their territories and fighting. The corpses that lie on the ground are heaped up in multitudes. The army of one may be defeated and put to flight, only in fifteen days will they return.'The king said, 'Pooh! Does this funny empty talk have anything to do with me?'The other rejoined, 'I just want to show your majesty its real significance. When your majesty thinks of the six directions - east, west, north, and south, above and beneath - can you set any limit to it?' 'No limit.' said the king.'In the center of the limitless world, there is a state called Wei; in Wei there is the capital city of Liang; and in Liang there is your majesty. Can you make any distinction between yourself, and the king of the Stupidity kingdom?'The king answered, 'There is no distinction,' and his visitor went out, while the king remained dumbfounded and seemed to have lost himself. （Adapted from James Legge’s The Writings of Chuang Tzu, http://nothingistic.org/library/chuangtzu/）阅读四（1）Why does Dai Jinren compare the King of Wei to the king of the Stupidity kingdom?

阅读五：The Chinese idiom 东施效颦 (dong1 shi1 xiao4 pin2) literally means a ludicrous imitation of beauty. It is written by Zhuang Zhou in the Pre-Qin Period.Long ago there lived a famous beauty, Xi Shi. One day Xi Shi had a pain in her chest which caused her to hold her bosom and frown in pain. When an ugly woman (called Dong Shi) from the same village saw Xi Shi out walking, she took notice of Xi's behavior. Like everyone in the village, Dong Shi knew that Xi Shi was the acme (巅峰) of beauty and so, in the hope of appearing to be more beautiful, she decided to imitate Xi Shi. Dong Shi put her hands on her bosom and knitted her eyebrows so that she was also frowning.However, such an attempt was fundamentally flawed as the true reasons for Xi Shi's beauty went much deeper. In fact, rather than becoming more beautiful, Dong Shi simply made herself look even uglier. When a rich man in the village saw her, he shut his doors tightly and did not go out. When a poor man saw her, he took his wife and children and gave her a wide berth (空位). Everyone was horrified at how ugly she had become.Today, Chinese people use the expression to describe people who are making a fool of themselves by trying to imitate behaviors that they do not really understand. (Adapted from Learning Mandarin in Chinese http://tcfl.tingroom.com/2014/11/5826.html)阅读五（1）What did people think of Dong Shi when she tried to imitate Xi Shi?
