19．Trees are useful to man in three important ways：they provide him with wood and other products； they give him shade； and they help to prevent droughts and floods．
Unfortunately，in many parts of the world，man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important．In order to make money from trees，he has cut them down in large numbers，only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had．And besides，he is usually too careless to plant and look after new trees．So the forests slowly disappear．
This does not only mean that man will have fewer trees．The results are even more serious：for where there are trees，their roots break up soil---allowing the rain to sink in---and also keep the soil，thus preventing it from being washed away easily； but where there are no trees，the rain falls on hard ground and flows away，causing floods and carrying away the rich topsoil．When all the topsoil is gone，nothing remains but worthless desert．
Two thousand years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships，with which to gain itself an empire．It set up the empire but，without its trees，its soil became poor and it grew weak．When the empire fell to pieces，the home country found itself faced with floods and starvation．

C．Because an empire was set up．D．Because too much had been spent on wars．
62．Why does land become desert after all trees are cut down？D
A．Because nothing remains on land except floods．
B．Because roots of the trees break up the soil．
C．Because too much rain sinks in and washes away the topsoil．

13．What is America's number one sport？Can I still say baseball？You could make that statement 30years ago，but things have changed．Baseball of course has the richest history of all sports．Bu t with the popularity of basketball and American football，there can now be an argument on which sport is American's number one sport．
Basketball really took a turn in the 1980's as Magic Johnson and Larry Bird took the NBA to another level．Of course，basketball was already popular and had seen such stars as Jerry West and Dr．J，but the real breakthrough （突破） came in the 1980's and from there it really took off with Michael Jordan into the 90's．Basketball has even become very global now as many NBA stars competed in the Olympics and faced no competition．Today，they had better be ready because there are so many talents in other countries and the competition will be stiff

20．Almost everyone label me an optimist（乐天派）．But even optimists can temporarily lose hope．This was the case for me on a particular cold and gloomy January day．I felt overwhelmed by the painful challenge I was dealing with in my personal life．Marriage，health，and financial struggles had joined forces to create a tornado of emotion that threatened to crush my spirit．I felt angry．The weather seemed to reflect my mood-the gray sky blocked even a single ray of sunlight．As I labored（劳动） through my workday，I just couldn't shake a sense of hopelessness．
About midway through the day，I left work to get some lunch．Still feeling negative，I noticed that the sun had come out for a brief moment．I began to think about my negative attitude and reminded myself that I was responsible for choosing my state of mind．While I could not ignore the pain I was going through，I could choose to dwell on（老想着） the negative or I could choose to shift my thinking to a more positive focus．Even as I consciously reminded myself of this truth，I felt incapable of making the shift．
As I stopped at a red light，I looked at the car directly in front of mine．The personalized license plate（车牌） caught my eye-it read"Sunout"．This brought an immediate smile to my face．It felt like a reminder that the sun was shining after all．But then my eyes moved to the car that was perfectly parallel（平行） to the Sunout vehicle．The license plate on the car read"Complainer"．This brought more than a smile to my face as I laugh out loud!Seeing the two very opposite license plates right next to each other at the exact moment in time，I felt my spirits and mood lift as I made the conscious decision to choose a positive attitude．
I returned to work and shared my story with several co-workers who responded with warm laughter．I learned that day that when we are feeling too discouraged to bring ourselves out of a state of negativity，relief is just near!

17．Your friends'lives may look more exciting than yours on Facebook，but new research shows that is because they are faking（伪造） them．
A recent survey has found around two-thirds of people on social media post images to their personal information to make their lives seem more adventurous．And more than three quarters of those asked said they judged their peers（同龄人） based on what they saw on their Instagram，Snapchat or Facebook pages．
The British survey，by smartphone maker HTC，found that，in order to make our own pages and lives appear more exciting，6% also said they had borrowed items t include in the images in order to pass them off as their own．More than half of those surveyed said they posted images of items and places purely to show off，causing jealousy among friends and family．
Behavioral psychologist Hemmings said the trend was unsurprising due to the rise of social media．"We're living in a world of instant communication，"she said．"Fashion and style used to live and die in magazines； now people are in search of authentic（真实的），peer-to-peer recommendations as well，making social media an equal power house to magazines and newspapers．"
"With images being shared in an instant we desire to know what our friends are wearing，or what super stars are buying，as soon as they have got them．"Such is the influence of social media sites like Instagram.76% of those asked also said seeing items on social media influences them to buy them，with men more likely to take style advice and buy what they see．
