2. Reading 2.1 Read the article below and then answer the questions,
King Louis the Eleventh was the king of France about 500 years ago. One day a young
man said to the king, "I can see the future." This was not true, but the king believed him.
The young man was pleased and he hoped to get an important job. But King Louis thought,
"This man knows the future, so he knows more than I know. He is dangerous, and I must
kill him."
The king said to his servants, "I'm going to invite that man to eat with me. When he
comes, watch my hand. When I lift up my hand, throw him out of the window."
That evening the man came to the king's room in the palace. The king had a smile on his
face, but it was not a friendly smile. He said to the man, "You know the future, so tell me
your future. When are you going to die?"
Then the young man understood his mistake. He thought quickly before he answered the
king's question. "I'm going to die three days before you," he said.
The king stopped smiling. The servants watched the king's hand, but it didn't move. The
young man was safe, but he never told another lie after that.
