A
Pan Gu Creates the World
In the beginning, the universe was like an egg and there was only chaos in the egg.
Pan Gu had slept in the egg for over 18,000 years. Then one day, he woke up and cracked the egg into pieces. By separating the heavy and light parts of the egg, he created the heaven and the earth. Pan Gu stood on the earth and held up the heaven using his hands, and then he had grown with the heaven until the form of the world for another 18,000 years.
After earth and heaven where formed, they began to grow (about 15 spans a day, or 10 feet a day), and after another 18,000 years earth and heaven were formed. Pan Gu had grown with them and acted as a pillar standing 9 million li (3 million miles) between them so they could never join again.
When Pan Gu died, his breath became the wind and clouds, his voice the rolling thunder. One eye became the sun and one the moon. His body and limbs turned to five big mountains and his blood formed the roaring water. His veins became far-stretching roads and his muscles fertile land. The stars in the sky came from his hair and beard, and flowers and trees from his skin and the fine hairs on his body. His marrow turned to jade and pearls. His sweat flowed like the good rain and sweet dew that nurtured all things on earth. According to some versions of the Pan Gu legend, his tears flowed to make rivers and radiance of his eyes turned into thunder and lighting. When he was happy the sun shone, but when he was angry black clouds gathered in the sky. One version of the legend has it that the fleas and lice on his body became the ancestors of mankind.
Please write T for true and F for false.

Pandora's Box
After the stealing of fire, Zeus became increasingly unkind to men. One day he ordered his son Hephaestus to build an image of a beautiful woman out of clay. He then asked the gods and goddesses to award her with different kinds of gifts. Among others, Athena clothed her in an attractive coat and Hermes gave her the power of telling her. A charming young lady, she was the first woman that ever lived. Zeus called her Pandora because she had received from each of the gods and goddesses a gift. The gift was harmful to men.
Zeus decided to send her down to men as a present. So Hermes the messenger brought her to Epimethius, brother of Prometheus. The greatness of her beauty touched the hearts of all who looked upon her and Epimethius happily received her into his house. He had quite forgotten Prometheus warning never to accept anything from Zeus he couple lived a happy life for some time. Then trouble came on to the human world.
When he was busy with teaching men the art of living, Prometheus had left a big box in the care of Epimethius. He had warned his brother not to open the lid. Pandora was a curious woman. She had been feeling very disappointed that her husband did not allow her to take a look at the contents of the box. One day when Epimethius was outside lifted the lid and out it came, unrest and war, plague and sickness, theft and violence, grief, sorrow, and all the other evils. The human world was hence to experience these evils. In terror Pandora clapped the lid down, but too late. One good thing, however, was there--HOPE. It was the only good the box had held among the many evils, so men always have hope within their hearts.
