There was an old pear tree in a man's garden. In the past, the tree fruited every year, so the man
would get many pears. But now, the tree got old. There were no more pears for the man. So the
ungrateful man decided to cut the tree down. When he walked toward the tree with an axe in his hand,
the tree said to him, "Please don't cut me down. I have borne so many pears for you in the past years.
Now I will die soon. I only have a short time to live. Please don't kill a dying tree that has done so much
for you."
"I'm sorry. I have to do so," the man said, "because I need wood to make a chair." Then he began to
wave his axe. At that moment, a bird in the old tree shouted at him, "Don't cut it down! Every time you
go out and your wife feels lonely, she will come out to the garden and sit under the tree to enjoy its cool
shade, and I sing songs to make her happy. We give much pleasure to your wife when you are away
from home."
The man didn't listen to the bird and drove it away. Just when he was about to cut the tree, some
bees flew out of it and said, "Listen! If you agree not to kill this tree, we will give you delicious honey
every day. Would you please leave the tree with us?"
The man got moved. He said, "You are so kind to the tree, although it has become old. Now I see
that I shouldn't cut it down. It has done so much for me and my wife. Let the tree stay here, and let the
bird continue its songs here." With these words, the man left. And the old tree lived there to its last day.
B. The Man's Wife

In today’s world many people seem to be hungry for money. Some of them even lose their lives for it. Money does have its most useful effect(影响) on the poor, but once a person has a rich life, a lot more money doesn’t mean more happiness.
If money was everything, all millionaires(百万富翁) would have true love, true friendship, good health and a long life. However, this is not always true.
Nothing else is more pleasant than the three words which are “I love you”. But can love be bought? I’m afraid not. Love means to give, not to take. To every person, health and long life are probably the most precious(宝贵的) things. Well, can health and a long life be bought with money? The answer is “No”.
Of all the longest living people in the world, few of them are millionaires. True friendship can’t be bought either. In a word, where money is worshiped(崇拜), money can cause brothers to quarrel, lovers to hate, strangers to fight and so on. No matter how much money you have, it is still not enough to make you a happy person if you have not one to laugh with, no one to cry for.

Today almost everyone knows computers and the Internet. If I ask you “What is the most important in your life?” maybe you will say “Computers and the Internet.”
The first computer was made in 1946. it was very big but it worked slowly. Today computers are getting smaller and smaller. But they work faster and faster. What can computers do? A writer has said, “People can’t live without computers today.”
The Internet came a little later than computers. It is about twenty-five years later than computers. But now it can be found almost everywhere. We can use it to read books, writer letters, do shopping, play computer games or make friends.
Many students like the Internet very much. They often go into the Internet as soon as they are free. They make friends on the Internet and maybe they have never seen these friends. They don’t know their real names, ages, and even sex. They are so interested in making the “unreal friends” that they can’t put their hearts into study. Many of them can’t catch up with others on many subjects because of that.
