【題目】Two traveling angels(天使) stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the guest room. Instead the angels were given a space in the cold basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied: “Things aren’t always what they seem.”
The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor but very hospitable(好客的)farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had, the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night’s rest. When the sun came up the next morning, the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their only income, lay dead in the field.
The younger angel was very angry and asked the older angel, “How could this happen? Why didn’t you watch out for the cow? The first man had everything, yet you watched over his house,” she accused. “The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you did not help.”
“Things aren’t always what they seem,” the older angel replied. “When we stayed in the basement, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so greedy and unwilling to share his good fortune, I asked God if I could seal(封口)the wall so he couldn’t find it. Then last night as we slept in the farmer’s bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I asked God if the angel could take the cow instead. Things aren’t always what they seem.”
【1】Why did the older angel repair the hole for the rich family?
A. Because the basement was too cold to stay in.
B. Because she wanted to save the gold for the poor.
C. Because she wanted to punish the greedy owner.
D. Because she believed that one should always be ready to offer help.
【2】In paragraph two, the pair refers to __________.
A. the poor couple B. the rich couple
C. the guests D. the angels
【3】The younger angel was very angry because __________.
A. the older angel killed the farmer’s cow

C. the wealthy man gave them a bad place to live

【4】The story tries to tell the reader that ___________.

【題目】A great-grandfather has put up his Christmas tree for the 85th time after his father first bought it from a toy shop.
Douglas Hewitt, 85, has celebrated every Christmas with the artificial tree since he was born. His father bought the tree from a toy shop in Sheffield just months after Douglas was born. The four-foot tree remains the centre point of the Hewitt family household during every festive season.
Mr. Hewitt, of South Anston, South Yorkshire, said, “It reminds us of my childhood, our children’s childhood and our grandchildren and great-grandchildren’s after that. They all come and look at it and smile; it’s become part of the furniture. If we didn’t put that Christmas tree up, it wouldn’t feel like Christmas.”
The tree was passed down to Mr. Hewitt when he married Mavis. Mrs. Hewitt said, “Year after year we have just carried on using that one. You have to be a bit more careful with it now, as it’s fragile.”
Their daughter, June Murphy, also has fond memories of the Christmas tree. She said, “It was in my grandparents’ home and then it was given to us. It looks a little thin now, as each time you get it out something else falls off. It’s become a bit of a family joke. Each year someone has to comment ‘not again!’ But it’s a Christmas tradition of getting the tree out that we all love. We’d all be sad to see it go, as I think it would be hard to find such a loved replacement.”
Mr. Hewitt said, “There were a lot more branches on it, and it’s lost its feathers that were all along the edge. There were little candle holders（蠟燭架）on the ends and little legs on it, but unfortunately they’ve been lost over the years.”
【1】Where did Douglas Hewitt get the Christmas tree?
A. He got it from his father.
B. He bought it from a toy shop.
C. He made it by himself.
D. He cut it down in a forest.
【2】What does Mr. Hewitt want to tell readers in the third paragraph?
A. It may be the last year that the tree appears in this house.
B. His family decorate their house with this Christmas tree.
C. This Christmas tree reminds him that Christmas is on the way.
D. His family has a special feeling towards this Christmas tree.
【3】The underlined word “fragile” in the fourth paragraph probably means_______.
A. a little strange B. easily broken
C. quite small D. not beautiful
【4】Why does her family put up the Christmas tree every year according to June Murphy?
A. To honor her grandparents.
B. To save the family money.
C. To keep up the family tradition.
D. To create a friendly atmosphere.

It’s been a long time since I do something good for the environment. Feel responsible to protect the environment, I decided to take action again. I told my idea with my friends and we planned to plant the trees on the hill in the rural area of the city.
We came to the foot of the hill and selected a place where looked suitable and settled down. We spend a few hours digging holes and placing the young seedlings (幼苗). Then we wrote our wishes on cards one to one and buried it deep down the roots of the trees. We also took numerous pictures. We were such busy that we didn’t realize it was time to go back. I felt really glad that we made difference to the environment.
