There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them to go and look at a pear tree far away in turns.

The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall.

When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen.

The first son said that the tree was ugly. The second son said no; it was covered with green leaves, and full of hope. The third son disagreed. He said there were many flowers that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most wonderful thing he had ever seen. The last son disagreed with all of them, he said there was lots of fruit in the tree, full of life and harvest(收获).

The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, but they had each seen only one season in the tree’s life. He told them “You cannot judge a tree, or a person by only one season and its true nature —the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life can only be judged at the end, when all the seasons are up.”

If you give up when it’s winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, harvest of your fall. Don’t let the pain of one season kill the joy of all the rest.

1Why did the man ask his sons to go and look at a pear tree in turns?

2Did the four sons have the same answer?

3What did the man think about his sons’ answers?

【题目】D. Answer the questions(根据以下内容回答问题.)

Last month some thieves stole a valuable teapot from a museum in Hong Kong. They took the teapot to America, but the American police found it. The museum sent Mr. Chan, a member of the museum staff, to collect the teapot. On the plane back to Hong Kong, he noticed two men. They were watching him closely. "Perhaps they're going to steal the teapot again. I must think of a plan,” he thought。

Mr. Chan’s daughter, Amy, met him at Hong Kong afterwards. Mr. Chan was carrying two boxes. He gave his daughter the pink box and said to her in a low voice, "Take this gift box home with great care." He walked away with the brown one. The two men followed him.

Amy opened the box at home. She was expecting a pair of sports shoes, but she just found an old teapot. "This is not a very interesting gift, " said Amy, a bit disappointed. "That’s all right. Let’s make some tea in it, "said her mother. Then they found a note in the teapot. It said, " Dear Amy ,___93____Love Dad.”

The two men kidnapped(绑架). Mr. Chan on his way to the museum. They opened his box and found a pair of sports shoes inside. "Where’s the teapot?" the two thieves shouted at the top of their voice with red faces. "How dare you cheat us? We saw you give your daughter a box at the airport. Come with us! We’re going to search your home, one of them said.

When the thieves entered Mr. Chan’s flat, it was dark and quiet. All of a sudden, the door closed and the lights went on. The police were waiting inside.

Amy and her mother came out of the bedroom with the teapot. "That teapot is very valuable, said Mr. Chan. "A long time ago it belonged to an emperor. He drank tea from it.”

“We were going to drink tea from it, too, "said Amy, laughing.

Teaching material discussion group (15)

Hi! I 'm doing a survey on teaching materials in school. What kind of textbooks do you use? Do you think the use of photocopied(复印的) textbooks and newspaper articles in the classroom can be accepted? Please give your_______.

The use of such materials is certainly not _______ for writers. Textbooks are like other creative works. Many people have to put their efforts in the writing of a book. The efforts of the writers and publishers will be totally wasted if everyone photocopies their textbooks. I can’t imagine that!

I don’t think it right to use photocopied materials even in the classroom because it's against the law. Teachers should set a good example for their students by _________ the law.

Copied books are as good as copyrighted(正版的) ones, but they don't _______much, usually less than half the price. In addition, it is so _______ to use copied materials. When we want to share something good we just have it photocopied. I think photocopying is OK because publishers are still making a lot of money anyway.

Most of the time, teachers make sure their students do not use photocopied materials. But I know some teachers do use photocopied newspaper articles sometimes, as their students are eager to learn more to widen their views. As you know, teachers always put the _________ of students above anything else. After all, you can't expect all the students to buy newspapers

Wow! Thank you for sharing so many ideas!

1A. thanks B. lessons C. excuses D. opinions

2A. easy B. fair C. common D. traditional

3A. changing B. explaining C. respecting D. making

4A. save B. affect C. offer D. cost

5A. convenient B. strange C. exciting D. difficult

6A. actions B. needs C. records D. attitudes
