This is why so many advertisements feature famous people. Advertisers may try to make us want a product by suggesting that most people, or the \to be inferior to others and these advertisements suggest that you will be unless you buy the product.

A
Once there was a man who liked to eat mangoes(芒果). One day he decided to get the sweetest mango from the very top of the tree. Mangoes which are exposed to the sun the most are the sweetest.
So he climbed up to the top, where the branches were thin. He managed to pick up a few sweet reddish fruits, but, in an attempt to climb down, he slipped and started falling towards the ground. Fortunately, he caught the branch as he was falling and remained helplessly hanging on the tree. Then he started to call nearby villagers for help. They immediately came with a ladder and sticks, but could do little to help him.
Then after some time one calm and thoughtful person arrived - a well-known sage who lived in a simple hut nearby. People were very curious to see what he would do, as he was famous in solving many people’s problems in the area and sometimes very complicated ones.
He was silent for a minute and then picked up a stone and threw it at the hanging man.
That’s
what everybody wanted - that he came down. But how? Now everybody was tense(紧张), as to what would happen next! Some wanted to punish the sage, but they didn’t. The sage picked another stone and threw it again at the man, even more forcefully. Now the man on the tree was enraged and developed a great determination to come down and take revenge(报仇).
He then used all his skill and strength and somehow reached the branches which were safe to start going down. And he made it! Everybody was amazed.
However, the rescued man found the sage gone. He stood there, realizing that the man really helped him because he induced him to try his best and save himself. “I should be thankful and not angry.”
56.What happened after he had picked a few sweet reddish mangoes?
A.He remained hanging helplessly on the tree. B.He slipped and fell to the ground suddenly.
C.He was climbing down quickly but carefully. D.He shouted loudly for help but no one helped.
57.How did the man feel when the sage hit him with a stone?
A.He was nervous. B.He kept silent. C.He was angry. D.He felt surprised. 58.What do you think motivated the man to climb down?
