Trees are one of the oldest plants of our earth.Just like us,trees change a lot when they grow. At one to three years old,young trees learn how to protect themselves. For example,many trees grow thorns (刺) to tell animals not to go near. Most young trees have large, deep green leaves so that they can catch enough sunlight and change it into their food and energy.

When trees are 4 years old,they begin to grow very fast and become strong enough to face challenges (挑战) in life.

At the age of l5,trees become young adults. They grow more slowly and begin to grow flowers and fruit.

It is not until the trees are 20 to 25 years old that they become real adults.The trees reach their largest sizes. Adult trees give us many things such as oxygen (氧气) and natural beauty. If we give them good care,they will go on to live healthily for many years.

As time goes on,trees begin to grow older and older and even die.At this time,they still have their important place in nature.In many ways,the life of trees is like our own life experience.

Enjoy every minute of the life of the trees and take care of them!

【题目】

Two men, Alan and Henry, both seriously ill, shared a hospital room. Alan was allowed to sit up in his bed and his bed was next to the room’s only window. Henry had to spend all his time flat on his back.

The men talked for hours, of their wives, families, their homes and their jobs. And every afternoon when Alan, in the bed next to the window, could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Lovers walked arm in arm among flowers. Trees and skyline could be seen in the distance. As he described all this, Henry, on the other side of the room, would close his eyes and imagine the scene.

One warm afternoon Alan described a parade passing by. Although Henry could not hear the band, he could see it in his mind. Unexpectedly, a strange thought entered his head: Why should he have all the pleasure of seeing everything while I never got to see anything? It doesn’t seem fair. Henry felt ashamed at first. But as the days passed and he missed seeing more sight, his envy grew and soon let him down. He began to find himself unable to sleep. He should be by that window ---and that thought now controlled his life.

Late one night, as he lay looking at the top of the room. Alan began to cough. He was choking(窒息的). Henry watched in the dark room as the struggling man tried hard to reach for the button to call for help. Listening from across the room, he never moved, never pushed his own button which would have brought the nurse running. In less than five minutes, the coughing and choking stopped, along with the sound of breathing. Now, there was only silence---deathly silence.

As soon as it seemed suitable, Henry asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch(交换)and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.

Slowly, painfully, he struggled to take his first look. Finally, he would have the joy of seeing it all himself. He looked out, but faced a black wall.

【1】What finally happened to Alan?

A. He was moved to another room. B. He died.

C. He switched his bed with Henry. D. He was very sick.

2Henry, who had his bed switched, had expected _______.

A. to see the blank wall

B. to feel the joy of seeing the outside world

C. to feel the joy of breathing fresh air

D. to see more than Alan

3Which of following words could be used to describe Alan?

A. Kind-hearted and imaginative.

B. Inactive and humorous.

C. Impatient and funny.

D. Cold-hearted and selfish.

【题目】A situation in which a student is troubled by his parents asking him to go into a job area that makes good money but he doesn’t want to go into, is a bad situation. The question is whether he should go into this job or not.

To start with, you need to go for what is best for YOU, even if there would be some negative(消极的)results. You can’t be happy if you dont make decisions that are right for you. If you do not make your own decisions and make decisions that will be good for you, your life would be a big lie to yourself, which is not a sign that you have done something you wanted to do.

Living a lie would not be a very good life. The truth is much better than living a lie. If your whole life is a lie, then it is not a very beautiful life at all. In the song Lyin’ Eyes, the woman is living a lie by pretending(假装)she loves the old man, while in reality she was just in it for money. As a result, her life is miserable(悲惨的) and a big lie.

And finally, money cannot buy happiness. A good example of this is also from the song Lyin’ Eyes. The only reason why the woman married the old man was for the money and gifts she would receive. This results in her life are not happy at all. This just goes to show that no matter how much money you have, your life still might not be happy. It takes a lot more than a bunch of green paper to make your life a good one.

In conclusion, doing what you want is best. If you don’t do what you want to, you won’t be happy with your life.

【1】What is the passage mainly about?

A. Parents should not ask their children to live a lie.

B. You need to make your own decisions.

C. Money doesn’t mean happiness.

D. Living a lie would not be good.
