John was a very strong man. Once he got a job cutting wood in a forest(森林). His boss gave him an axe（斧頭） and showed him the area where he should work.

The first day, John cut down 18 trees.

“ Good,” the boss said,“Keep that up”!

Happily, John tried harder the next day, but could only cut down 15 trees.

The third day he tried even harder, but could only cut down 10 trees. Day after day he was cutting down fewer and fewer trees.

“ I must be losing my strength（力氣）,” John thought. He went to the boss and apologized（道歉）, saying that he could not understand what was going on.

“ When was the last time you sharpened（磨） your axe?” the boss asked.

“ Sharpened? I have no time to sharpen my axe. I have been very busy trying to cut down trees!” said John.

While John was working hard, he didn’t work “ smart”. He didn’t think about the best way to do his job. Many of us never learn new skills. We think that whatever we have learned is enough.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，判斷下列句子的正誤。正確的填T，錯(cuò)誤的填F. 并將所選答案填到答題卡的相應(yīng)位置上.

1.The boss was pleased with John’s work the first day.

2.John cut down three trees fewer than the first day on the third day.

3.John never sharpened his axe.

4.It’s a waste of time for John to sharpen the axe.

5.The story tells us we should work “ smart ”.

Mobile phone technology is developing rapidly. What will the future mobile be able to do and what will it look like? Take a look at the following mobile phones, and you’ll find that some amazing phones are now coming our way.

Packet

Paper Phone

How many times have you wanted to smash(摔碎) your phone when talking to annoying people? With the Paper Phone, you’ll soon be able to do it. As the world’s first flexible(易彎曲的) mobile phone, it can be bent freely while you’re making calls, reading e-books and playing music.
