     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.

D. all the above
3. Land becomes desert after all trees are cut down because ________.

B. there are too many rainfalls to make it
C. strong winds bring a lot of sand      
D. no tree keeps the rain and protects the top-soil.

A. Trees and Man                        
B. The Function of Tree Wood

D. The Usage of Tree Roots

     When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I was not a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so
on. I tried to bear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in
my eyes.                                                                
     He listened to me quietly, and then he asked. "Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn't you
ever wonder what you're really like? Well, you now have that girl's opinion. Go and make a list of
everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she
said."                                                                          
     I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn't change (like being very thin), but a good number I could-and suddenly I wanted to change.
For the first time I went to a fairly clear picture of myself.            
     I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. "That's just for you," he said. "You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger
and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you'll find it will be of help to you. Our world is
full of people who think they know your duty. Don't shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth
and do what you know is the right thing to do."                    
     Daddy's advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I've never had a better piece of advice.                                                          
1. What did the father do after he had heard his daughter's complaint?                    
A. He told her not to pay any attention to what her "enemy" had said and just do what she want to
     do.                    
B. He criticized (批评) her and told her to overcome her shortcomings.                  
C. He told her to write down all her "enemy" had said and pay attention only to the things that were
     true.                                                      
D. He refused to take the list and want to have a look at it.                                  
2. What does "Week by week her list grew" mean?                                   
A. She made a list of my shortcomings and kept on adding new ones so it was growing longer and longer.  
B. Week by week she discovered more shortcomings of mine and pointed them out to
     me.                                                
C. I was having more and more shortcomings as time went on.                        
D. Week by week, my shortcomings grew more serious.                          
3. Why did her father listen to her quietly?                                          
A. Because he believed that what her daughter's "enemy" said was mostly true.          
B. Because he had been so angry with her daughter and wanted to keep
     silent.                                                 
C. Because he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment.            
D. Because he was not quite sure which girl was telling the truths.                        
4. Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?                          
A. Not an Enemy, but the Best Friend              
B. The Best Advice I've Ever Had                                              
C. My Father                                  
D. My Childhood
