五、读写综合
（一）阅读并回答问题。（共5小题，每小题2分，计10分）
Long ago, on a quiet Greek farm, there lived an old man and his young son. The man was called Agathon, which in Greek means “good and kind.” Agathon was a miller (磨坊主), and he worked hard at his mill every day.
The boy was called Tebelis.
Most boys liked to be active playing with their friends and even helping at home. Tebelis liked none of these things. Instead, he liked to sleep. He slept in the morning, in the afternoon, and in the evening. People said Tebelis was the laziest boy in all of Greece. In fact, his very name meant “lazy.”
Summer turned to fall, and people began bringing their grain to Agathon’s mill. Agathon placed the grain on a large, flat stone. He placed another stone, called a millstone, on top. He then tied a cow to the millstone. As the cow turned the millstone, the grain turned into soft flour (面粉).
Some said that Agathon’s flour was the finest in the land.
One morning, Agathon took a trip to visit a friend. He left Tebelis in charge of the mill.
“Take care, my son,” Agathon said before he left. “Watch the cow carefully. She can be lazy, just like you. Make sure she keeps working.”
Tebelis watched the cow. At first, she turned the millstone quickly. Then she started moving slower, slower, slower.
Finally, she stopped moving. The cow seemed tired and sick. “Well,” Tebelis smiled, “I suppose that’s enough work for one day.” He lay down on the ground and closed his eyes.
Suddenly, Alexander, the King of Greece and his men came, they asked Tebelis to mill some grain. Unluckily, Tebelis’s cow was sick.
But Alexander smiled. “I’m sure you will think of something. This afternoon, you will have grain, and you will have one week to mill it.”
He bowed deeply as the king and his men hurried away.
Then he sat on the ground, shaking, tears filling his eyes.
All day, Tebelis replayed the scene over and over in his mind.
“There must be an answer,” he said to himself, but he knew the situation was hopeless.
Finally, Tebelis had an idea and he built a watermill.
The watermill was a great success. In just a few days, they managed to mill each and every basket of Alexander’s grain.
回答下面五个问题，每题答案不超过7个词。
56．Why did people think Tebelis was the laziest boy in all of Greece before
