【题目】阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

Last night, I read a story in a magazine. It really impressed me. I’d like to share it with you everyone.

A long time ago, there was a big apple tree. a little boy loved to come and play with it every day. But as 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. “Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy.

“I am no longer a kid. I can’t play with you now,” the boy replied, “I need toys.”

“Sorry, I don’t have any. But you can pick all my apples and sell them.”

The boy picked all the apples on the tree and left happily, and he didn’t come back. The tree was sad.

The other day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited.

“Come and play with me,” the tree said.

“I need a house for my family. Can you help me?”

“You can cut off my branches to build your house.”

So the boy cut all the branches off the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see him happy, but the boy didn’t come since then. The tree was lonely again.

One hot summer day, the boy came back again after he left for so many years.

“Sorry, my boy. But I don’t have anything for you anymore.”

“I don’t need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years,” the boy replied.

“Good! Please sit down with me and have a rest.”

The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears.

文章讲述的是作者在一本杂志上看到的一篇感人的故事的分享。故事主要讲述的是一个孩子小时候总是在一棵苹果树下玩耍，后来男孩慢慢长大了，他不再去苹果树下玩耍了，苹果树得知他想要的东西之后，分别把自己的果实和枝干都给了这个孩子，多年后男孩回来了和大树坐在一起休息，大树很开心。

【1】根据文中But as time went by, the little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree. 但随着时间的推移，小男孩长大了，不再在树周围玩耍。可知，是因为男孩长大了，故答案为Because he had grown up.

【2】根据文中One day, the boy came back to the tree. “Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy. “I am no longer a kid. I can’t play with you now,” the boy replied, “I need toys.” 一天，男孩回到树这里。“来和我玩吧，”树问男孩。“我不再是个孩子了。”“我现在不能和你玩了，”男孩回答说，“我需要玩具。”可知，第一次男孩是要玩具，故答案为Toys。

【3】根据文中“I need a house for my family. Can you help me?” “You can cut off my branches to build your house.” So the boy cut all the branches off the tree and left happily. “我需要一所房子给我的家人。你能帮助我吗？”“你可以砍掉我的树枝来盖你的房子。”于是男孩把树上所有的树枝都砍掉，高兴地离开了。可知，大树把它所有的树枝都给了男孩，故答案为It gave him all the branches.

【4】根据文中The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears. 男孩坐下来，树很高兴，含泪微笑。可知，大树很高兴，故答案为Yes, it did.

【5】根据这个文章的理解可知，文章主要讲述的是一棵苹果树和一个男孩之间的故事，男孩向苹果树要玩具，要房子，苹果树都毫无保留的帮助这个男孩的故事，所以这里可以概括为一个男孩和一棵爱心树的故事，故答案为A story of a boy and the giving tree。
