In 273 B.C. ,the Qin army launched a more serious attack upon the State of Wei than ever. The king of the State of Wei gathered his officials, and asked with a worried look if anyone could propose a way to defeat the Qin army. After years of chaos caused by the wars, the officials trembled when fighting was mentioned, and no one dared to speak of resistance.‎ At the critical moment when a large enemy force was bearing down upon the border, most of the officials persuaded the king to use for peace, at the cost of giving away to the State of Qin the large area of land north of the Huanghe River and south of the Taihang‎ ‎Mountain. However Su Dai, a counselor, did not agree. He hurried up to the king and said:"Your Majesty, they don't think about the interests of the country at all. It is just because they are afraid of death that they ask you to sue for peace by betraying the country. Of course you can temporarily satisfy the ambition of Qin, but it will never stop attacking us until our land is totally given away."‎ He added." Once there was a man whose house was on fire. People told him to put out the fire with water, but he would not listen. Instead, he carried a faggot to put out the fire, only to ‎ make the fire fiercer. Isn't it similar to carrying faggots to put out a fire if you agree to sue for peace at the cost of the land of the State of Wei?"‎ Though Sue Dai's argument was very convincing, the king accepted the suggestion of those officials and gave away to the State of Qin a large area of the land of the State of Wei. As might be expected, the Qin army attacked the State of Wei in 225 B.C. Again, surrounding the capital city Daliang and flooding it by digging open the dykes(堤防) of the Huanghe River. The State of Wei was finally destroyed.‎ ‎53．When asked how to defeat the Qin army, most officials .‎ ‎ A．were scared and at a loss what to do ‎ B．were worried and asked Su Dai fir advice ‎ C．decided to ask a force to bear down upon the border ‎ D．trembled and decided to give up fighting back ‎54．The underlined phrase "sue for" in Paragraph 2 probably means .‎ ‎ A．hope for B．beg for C．search for D．send for ‎55．Su Dai used the example of "carrying faggots to put out a fire" to show .‎ ‎ A．the ambition of the State of Qin B．the risk of fighting back ‎ C．the serious results of giving in D．the terrible results of defense ‎56．The story is mainly developed by .‎ ‎ A．time B．logic C．space D．cause and effect ‎49-52 CDBC 53-56 DBCA ‎
