A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree．A little boy loved to come and play around it every day．He climbed to the tree top, ate the apples, took a nap under the shadow…He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him．
Time went by…The little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree．
One day, the boy came back to the tree and looked sad．“Come and play with me,”the tree asked the boy．
“I am no longer a kid, I don’t’ play around trees anymore．”The boy replied,“I want toys．I need money to buy them．”“Sorry, but I don’t have money…but you can pick all my apples and sell them．So, you will have money．”The boy was so excited．He picked all the apples on the tree and left happily．The boy didn’t come back after he picked the apples．The tree was sad．
One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited．“Come and play with me．”The tree said．“I don’t have time to play．I have to work for my family．We need a house for shelter．Can you help me?”“Sorry, but I don’t have a house．But you can cut off my branches to build your house．”So the boy cut all the branches of the tree and left happily．
The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy didn’t appear since then．The tree was again lonely and sad．One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted．“Come and play with me!”the tree said．
“I am sad and getting old．I want to go sailing to relax myself．Can you give me a boat?”“Use my trunk to build the boat．You can sail and be happy．”So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat．He went sailing and did not show up for a long time．
Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years．“Sorry, my boy．But I don’t’ have anything for you anymore．No more apples for you．”the tree said．“I don’t have teeth to bite．”The boy replied．“No more trunk for you to climb on．”“I am too old for that now．”the boy said．“I really want to give you something…the only thing left is my dying roots．”The tree said with tears．“I don’t’ need much now, just a place to rest．I am tired after all these years．”The boy replied．“Good!Old tree roots are the best place to lean on and rest．Come here, please sit down with me and have a rest．”The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears…
This is a story of everyone．The tree is our parent．When we were young, we loved to play with Mom and Dad…When we grow up, we leave them, and only come to them when we need something or when we are in trouble．No matter what, parents will always be there and give everything they could to make you happy．You may think that the boy is cruel to the tree but that's how all of us are treating our parents．

________________________________________
I have a painfully vivid memory of my first homecoming from college, in December 1983. After three whole months away, I was back home with my brand new opinions, attitudes and tastes. How could they watch such terrible television programs? I, the English Literature major with Shakespeare and Milton and James Joyce, could hardly bear to sleep under the roof of a house whose few bookshelves held thrillers and bound editions of the Reader’s Digest. I’m sure my family was glad to see the back of me when, at the end of the holiday, I packed up my books and headed back up to university in the north of England.
But the next year must have been even more painful to my parents: I didn’t show up at all. Now, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with young people spending a little time away from their families and with their friends. It’s part of growing up, something you need to do if you are to become properly independent. However, if you’re not going to be home for the festival, you should at least have the decency to telephone and say you’re not coming.
In English we have an expression, “wet behind the ears.” A person who is wet behind the ears is so immature, that they don’t know how to dry the back of their head after a bath. Just before the following year’s holiday I fell ill, quite seriously so. I’m sure my own behavior contributed to my getting sick: staying out too late, not eating properly—perhaps you know someone like the person I was then. I lay in bed with a fever, feeling very sorry for myself.
I’m sure you can guess who came to my rescue. My long-suffering parents got in their car and sped up the motorway to rescue their son from the consequences of his own irresponsibility.
I hope I’m a better son now; if not, it’s getting a little late in the day if I want to change. I’ve worked in China for nearly 10 years and so I don’t get to see them as often as I like, but my parents are online all the time so we talk many times each week. And this Spring Festival I will be flying back to England for a visit.
I’m really looking forward to it.

“Up until about five years ago, students at this school could have worn anything they wanted on Halloween,” said Rosemarie Nielson, a sixth-grade teacher at St．Theresa School, a Roman Catholic elementary school in the Pelham Bay section of the Bronx where there is a prohibition on toy weapons．
“When you consider all the horrific things that have happened in recent years, including 9/11, I can’t blame any school for wanting to stay away from anything that might promote violence,” Ms．Nielson said．
Mary Ellen Manniello, whose daughter, Courtney, 9, is a fourth grader at St．Gabriel School, a Roman Catholic elementary school in the Riverdale section of the Bronx, said she understood why officials had banned weapons with costumes．“They’re learning more about guns from issues in the street than educational issues．”
This year, the school has gone one step further and is prohibiting all costumes at its Halloween festivities．Ms．Manniello said it had become “a chaotic scene,” with parents helping their children change into their costumes at school．
Some parents said the no-weapons policy for Halloween costumes went too far and denied children a chance to express themselves．
“Halloween has always been the one day when it was acceptable for our children to be dressed like somebody they are not, like a cowboy or a pirate or a person from outer space, and now we’re taking that away from them,” said Laura Santoro, a nurse from New Milford, Conn．, whose 7-year-old son, Johnny, is a second grader at Northville Elementary School there．
Ms．Santoro said that her son would dress as Capt．Jack Sparrow, the character played by Johnny Depp in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies, at the school’s Halloween party, but that he would not be allowed to take a sword — part of a policy that caught her by surprise last Halloween．
“I sent my son to school last year dressed as a special force Power Ranger, and he was told that he couldn’t take along his red laser blaster, which really surprised me, because the laser is red and made of plastic and lights up, and it could never, ever be mistaken for a real gun,” Ms．Santoro said．“I mean, come on, the whole thing is getting really sad．”
1．What do you think is the writer’s purpose of writing the passage?
A．To introduce to the public the no-weapons policy for Halloween costumes．
B．To state parents’ attitudes towards the no-weapons policy for Halloween costumes．
C．To tell the public that children should bring any weapons for Halloween costumes．
D．To analyse the fact that the no-weapons policy for Halloween costumes goes too far．
2．According to the passage, some parents understand the no-weapon policy for Halloween costumes because ____________．
A．schools should take a cautious approach to Halloween to prevent violence．
B．children are buying real guns in the street and there is always violence now．
C．those parents like to help their children change into their costumes at school．
D．children are learning more about guns from educational issues．
3．Which of the following is probably right according to the passage?
A．Children could bring any weapons into school five or six years ago．
B．The parents surveyed are those whose children are in elementary schools．
C．Guns are necessary on Halloween for children to express themselves．
D．Jack Sparrow is an actor who at one time acted as a pirate in a movie．
4．What do the underlined words “laser blaster” in the last paragraph refer to?
A．A kind of costume． B．A real gun．
C．A toy weapon． D．A kind of plastic．
