         Singing songs is fun, but is it also useful? For learning English pronunciation, Mr. Joe thinks songs are
    the most useful way to learn. At the same time, you can learn some new words and phrases while singing
    songs. Mr. Joe has used songs to help himself learn French, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese. You should do
    the same.
         Some vocabulary used in songs is not everyday English, so you have to be careful how you use song
    lyrics when you speak. Most words and sentences, though, are very useful. You don't have to sing songs
    aloud if you are shy, but after learning a song you should be able to follow the words without looking at
    the lyrics. When you can do that, you have learned something valuable that you will never forget!
         Some good songs to listen to are from the Beatles, John Denver and the Carpenters. Their songs are not
    too fast and the lyrics are close to normal spoken English. Just for fun, you can try Mr. Joe's favorite singer,
    B.B. King. His songs are not easy at all! If you can understand even 80% of"Why I Sing the Blues", you are a
    very advanced student.
         If you become good at singing English songs, you can try to go to karaoke and sing with your friends.
    When you are able to sing a song in another language, even if you don't sing so beautifully, you will really
    impress other people!
    1. Singing English songs can help us, EXCEPT______.
    A. pronounce correctly
    B. remember new words
    C. impress other people

        Trees are useful to man in three important ways: they give him wood and other useful things, they give him
    cool places, and they help to stop drought and flood.
        Unluckily, in many parts of the world, man has not found that the third of these points is the most important.
    Man wants to make money from trees,so he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without
    them he has lost the best friends he had. And also, 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 worse: for where there are
    trees, their roots break up soil-make the rain in-and also bind the soil, thus stopping 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 top-soil. When all the top-soil is gone, nothing is left but useless desert.
    1. The most important points of trees to man is _____.
    A. they help him to make money
    B. they give him cool
    C. they help him to stop drought and floods
    D. they give him wood and other things
    2. In many places forests slowly disappear because _____.
    A. many trees have been cut down by man
    B. new trees are not well looked after
    C. man has not paid enough attention to planting trees
    D. all the above
    3. Land becomes desert after all trees are cut down because _____.
    A. roots of trees break up the soil
    B. there are too many rainfalls
    C. strong winds bring a lot of sand
    D. there are no longer trees to keep the rain and protect the top-soil.
    4. Which title best fits the passage?
    A. Trees and Man
    B. The Function of Tree Wood
    C. How do People deal with Trees?
    D. The Usage of Tree Roots
