You must heard of me. I’m Li Bai. I’m famous for my poems, but looking back on my fall and exciting life, I’d say friendship has been just as important as poetry.

One of my friends is He Zhizhang who is forty-two years older than me. Once we were having such an interesting conversation that we decided to continue it over dinner. After finishing the meal, we realized that neither of us had brought any money. He immediately took off the golden tortoise (龟) decorated on his waist and used it to pay for our dinner. I knew the golden tortoise was given to him by the Emperor. His generosity touched me. This showed how much he valued our friendship.

A letter started another of my friendships. The letter was from Wang Lun. He wrote to invite me to enjoy the ten-li peach blossom (桃花) scenery and the ten thousand restaurants in his area. I was expecting to see the special scenery and taste all kinds of food and wine so that I accepted this invitation at once.

But when I arrived to my surprise, I found that this clever man had used word-play to trick me into visiting him! The ten-li peach blossom referred to a lake named Peach Blossom Lake, which was about ten li away. The ten thousand restaurants were just a restaurant named Wan Jia, meaning “owned by Mr. Wan”! I was impressed by his cleverness, and we enjoyed a good laugh together.

Although my friends and I don’t have many opportunities to get together, we keep one another in mind.

1.What is as important as poetry in Li Bai’s heart?

2.What does the underlined word “generosity” probably mean in Paragraph 2?

A 慷慨

B 自私

C 无奈

解析：选A。词义猜测题。根据第二段“He immediately took off the golden tortoise (龟) decorated on his waist and used it to pay for our dinner. I knew the golden tortoise was given to him by the Emperor.”可知，贺知章用皇帝赏赐的金龟付账，可推知他是慷慨的。划线部分generosity意为“慷慨”。故选A。

He wrote to invite me to enjoy the ten-li peach blossom (桃花) scenery and the ten thousand restaurants in his area.”及第四段“But when I arrived, to my surprise, I found that this clever man had used word-play to trick me into visiting him!…”可知，汪伦写信邀请李白赏十里桃花，逛万家饭馆，于是李白欣然赴约。然则这是汪伦玩的文字游戏，十里桃花指的是一个叫桃花湖的湖，大约十里远。万家酒楼只是一家名叫“万家”的酒楼。故汪伦通过文字游戏邀请李白。故选B。
