五、阅读表达。
The young Emperor is lying on lion skins. There is a slave(奴隶) standing behind him. On a table there is a big scimitar(短弯刀). Then the Emperor points to the scimitar. The slave takes it and attacks me. The scimitar goes through my body,but it does not hurt me.
The slave falls to the floor. He is very afraid. The Emperor then kills the slave. "Now the slave cannot tell anyone about this." The Emperor looks at me and cries,"Are you a magician? Why can't I kill you? Leave my city. I cannot be the ruler of the city with you here."
"Give me half your treasure," I answer. "Then I can leave."
The Emperor takes me by the hand. We enter the palace and go to a large room. We walk down a corridor that is lit by many torches(火炬). When we arrive at the centre of the corridor,the Emperor says a magic word and a big stone door opens. Inside,the room is full of treasure：pearls,rubies,gold ...
"This is my house of treasure," he says. "I can give you half my treasure. I can also give you camels and camel drivers. Then you must leave."
"I don't want your treasure," I say. "I want the little ring on your finger."
"It is only a poor ring," he cries. "It has no value. Take half my treasure and leave the city."

I'm glad to say something about my best friend. Her name is Alice. She is helpful and always has a sweet smile on her face. She is really good at dancing.
Last term，there was a dancing festival in our school. We both prepared for it，but I was a little shy at first and afraid of dancing in front of a large crowd of people. She encouraged me a lot and helped me practise the moves. Together，we gave a very successful performance. I will never forget this experience.
I am lucky to have such a good friend. I believe that our friendship will last forever.
