I've never thought that a money raiser could have had such a huge influence on my life. Back in 5th grade, our school announced a money raiser and each class would get a box to fill it up with small _______. To make my class to come to the first place in the money raiser, I took two fifty-dollar bills _______ to school and put them into the box.

Two weeks later, my parents asked me about the money. They said they had discovered the truth and weren’t _______, but I must do something to make up for it.

My dad had the perfect idea in mind. The day _______ Christmas, he took me to St. John's Hospice in north Philadelphia, and explained to me that we were going to be working in the kitchen for several hours, making meals with potatoes and chicken for the 300-400 _______ men that came in each day.

As the lunch began. I thought I could wait for this by playing with my new toys. But as the mealtime went on. I found these men were overjoyed at the _______ food they were receiving, which I couldn't believe. I considered it a fairly common winter meal. The men's faces lit up with the food they were given. I realized how poor some people in this world actually are.

I had always heard about giving to the poor; but I never fully _______ it until that day. It was enlightening to see how thankful they were for something I thought was _______. I learned that I didn't really need all the good and expensive things I hoped for. On the drive home, my dad _______ McDonald's for lunch and I answered no at once. I knew that I didn't need it.

That day I came to know how good the feeling is to help people who are really in need. I now return to St John’s Hospice every year, trying to make a ________. This is why I am becoming a doctor, thinking that in the future I will change people's lives in a way just like my father did on that December 26th.

Would it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees can communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation—their young trees?

Suzanne Simard, forest ecologist (生态学家) at the University of British Columbia, explains how trees are much more complex (复杂的) than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin (达尔文) thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard and her team have made a new discovery and showed just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their group work and support, passing around necessary nutrition (营养) such as nitrogen (氮) and carbon "depending on who needs it".

Nitrogen (氮) and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi (真菌) networks. This makes sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons (神经元) in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it influences all.

Simard talks about "Mother trees". These are usually the largest, oldest plants on which all other trees depend. These "Mother trees" are connected to all the other trees in the forest by this network of fungi, and may manage the resources of the whole trees and plants in the forest. She explains how these trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important resources to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down "Mother trees" without paying attention to these highly complex "tree societies" of the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances to save the whole forest.

"We didn't take any notice of it," Simard says sadly. "Mother trees" move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance. If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.

1.The underlined sentence "the opposite is true" in Paragraph 2 probably means that trees ________.

A.compete for survival B.protect their own wealth

C.depend on each other D.provide support for dying trees

2."Mother trees" are very important because they ________.

A.look the largest in size in the forest B.pass on nutrition to young trees

C.bring more wealth to humans D.know more about the "tree societies"

3.We can learn from the passage that ________.

A.trees aren't as complex as we think

B.Charles Darwin had the same opinion as Simard

C.if "Mother trees" are cut down, they won't make difference to young trees

D.trees can share resources with other ones by the underground fungi networks

A couple of years ago, I went to Australia for a meeting with my friend, Chris. We decided to drive across country to Brisbane after the meeting ended. The drive was going to take four days and most of it was across the desert, 1.. The first day was a lot of fun as we were excited and laughing at each other’s stupid jokes. By the third day of driving in the seemingly endless desert, we began to get bored. We had been quiet for a few hours when in the distance Chris found some kangaroos. We were both excited and decided to get a closer look. 2.We got closer and closer, and Chris was doing 110 kilometers per hour. We were very close to the kangaroos—too close—when we heard a loud BANG!

Chris stopped the car and we got out. Behind the car was a larger kangaroo lying completely still on the ground. 3. He took off his sunglasses and put them on the kangaroo and did the same with his jacket. Then, he put his arm around the kangaroo and told me to take a photo of them together. 4. While I was focusing the camera, I saw the kangaroo move. It suddenly woke up, looked at Chris, and jumped away into the distance before we could do anything.

I started laughing but Chris looked very serious. 5. I started laughing even harder. I stopped laughing, however, when he said that our car keys were also in the jacket!

A.I was still surprised, but I took out my camera.

B.He said his wallet and passport were in the jacket.

C.In order to get there in three days, we drove very fast.

D.so we had to take food, water, and extra gas with us.

E.Chris went over to the kangaroo and put his baseball cap on its head.
