情境导语：A story about the kindness between neighbours.
七、阅读理解。
(新考法·跨学科)During the Eastern Han Dynasty(东汉)，there was a famous scholar(学者)named Sima Hui. One day，Sima Hui’s neighbour lost a pig. When the neighbour saw a pig in Sima Hui’s pig pen(猪圈)that looked similar to the one he had lost，he said it was his own. Sima Hui did not argue. Instead，he just said，“If you think it is yours，then take it.” The neighbour drove the pig home without any hesitation(犹豫).
However，a few days later，the neighbour found his own pig in another place. Feeling very ashamed，he returned the pig he had mistakenly taken from Sima Hui. Sima Hui did not scold(责备)him. He said，“It is not surprising that misunderstandings(误会)happen among neighbours. I appreciate(欣赏)that you have realised your mistake and returned the pig.” Sima Hui’s kindness deeply moved the neighbour.
This story shows that Sima Hui’s noble(崇高的)character and his wisdom in solving problems. It also shows the importance of being kind and forgiving(宽宏大量的)in the relationship with neighbours.
