It is said that Meng Tian, a general of the Kingdom (王国) Qin, improved the pen. When Meng was leading an army to fight against the Kingdom of Chu, he had to report the situation to his king in time. But his pen was too hard and caused him much trouble, so he was thinking of ways to improve it.
One day after hunting (狩猎), Meng made his way home with some wild rabbits on the horse back. Fat and heavy, one rabbit’s tail left a long trail (痕迹) on the ground when they moved on. Suddenly a good idea came to his mind when he saw it, “If I tie the rabbit’s hair to a stick, would it be easy to write with?”

（2022年江苏省连云港市新海实验中学中考一模英语试题）Shang Yang was a statesman of the Qin state (秦国). He was very talented and forward-thinking. He worked out a series of reform plans for the state, including focusing on farming and giving rewards to soldiers who were successful during war.
But at the beginning, these reforms were not easily carried out. Only a few people in the state understood Shang’s talent and advantages of his plans. Most people had little trust and confidence in him.
To solve this problem, Shang came up with an idea. He ordered some soldiers to put a thin wooden pole at the south gate of the Qin state capital. This attracted many people. Then, in front of the crowd, he said loudly, “People of Qin, here is my offer. Whoever take
s this pole to the north gate will get a reward of 10 gold pieces.”
It was a simple task and the reward was big. Some time passed and no one stepped forward. They all thought that Shang was joking.
Hearing no answer, Shang stepped forward and said, “I will increase the reward to 50 gold pieces.”
This offer was even more unbelievable. Finally, a man from the crowd came forward to take the pole. He put the pole on his shoulders and walked to the north gate. True to his word, Shang paid the man 50 gold pieces.
Word spread about what had happened in the capital. Soon, the people were saying that Shang was a man of his word. When he began promoting his reforms, the people followed and did not question him.
Under the reforms, Qin grew strong and unified all the states, becoming the first empire of China.
6．Which of the following is TRUE about Shang Yang’s reforms?
A．Shang Yang’s reforms were the best ones at that time.
