C(2024.盐城盐城景山中学期中改编)
　　I was careful to behave as well as possible,topersuade the King to give me my freedom.Lilliputians
soon began to lose their fear of me.They called me the精题详解
Man−Mountain.Sometimes I lay down and let them dance on my
hand,and from time to time children came to play games in my
hair.By now I was able to speak their language well.
　　　ne day the King invited me to watch the regular entertainments,which are greatly enjoyed by him,his family,and his lords and ladies.I was most interested in the rope−dancing.A very thin rope is fixed thirty centimetres above the ground.People who want to become the King's most important officials jump and dance on this rope,and whoever jumps highest without falling gets the best job..Sometimes the King orders his lords to dance on the rope,to show that they can still do it.This sport is,of course,rather dangerous,and there are occasional(偶尔的)deaths as a result.It seems a strange way of choosing officials.
　　There was another interesting entertainment.The King holds a stick in front of him,and sometimes moves it up and down.　　ne by one,peoplle come up to him and jump overr the stick or crawl under it.They go on jumping and crawling as the King moves the stick.The winner is the one who jumps and crawls for the longest time,and he receives a blue ribbon(缎带)
to wear round his waist.The second best receives a red ribbon,and the third best gets a green one.Many of the Lilliput lords wear their ribbons proudly at all times.I had certainly never seen entertainment like this in any of the countries I had visited before.
