Here is a true story about a famous man who worked in the White House and a criminal. They once faced the same thing: their mother gave them apples when they were young.
The criminal said: one day, my mother brought some apples and asked my brother and me: “Which do you want?” “The reddest and biggest one,” my little brother said. My mother stared at him and said to him angrily: “You should learn to give the good things to others; you shouldn’t always think of yourself.” Seeing this, I suddenly changed my idea and then said to my mother: “Mum, please give me the smaller one and give the bigger one to my little brother.” Hearing my words, my mother was very happy.

Trees are useful to man in three important ways: They provide him with wood and other products; they provide him shade;. and they help to prevent droughts（早災(zāi)）and floods.
Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important．In his eagerness to make money from trees, he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had. And besides, 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 more serious: for where there are trees, their roots break up soil allowing the rain to sink in and also bind（固定）the soil, thus preventing 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 the top-soil is gone, nothing remains but worthless desert.
Two thousand years ago，a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire(帝國）．It set up the empire, but, without its trees, its soil became poor and grew weak. When the empire fell to pieces, the home country found itself faced by floods and starvation（饑荒）．
小題1:The most important service of trees to man is that___________．
A．they give them wood and other productsB．they give them shade
C．they help him prevent droughts and floodsD．they help him made money
小題2:In many parts of the world, forests slowly disappear because___________．
A．many trees have been cut down by manB．man has not paid enough attention to planting trees
C．new trees are not looked after properlyD．a(chǎn)ll the above
小題3:Land becomes desert after all trees are cut down because____________．
A．roots of trees break up the soilB．there are too many rainfalls
C．there are no larger trees to keep rain and protect the top-soilD．strong winds bring a lot of sand
小題4:The country mentioned in the passage suffered from floods and starvation  because________.
A．it set up an empireB．the empire fell to pieces
C．it built too many warshipsD．it lost its trees
小題5:Which title best fits the passage?
A．Trees and ManB．How Trees Prevent Droughts and Floods
C．How an Empire FellD．A Story about Trees.

It was a village in India. The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.
Then one day. Some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog’s legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.
This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future. But the dream didn’t last long.    
The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around lately.
The villagers decided that they couldn’t just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides(殺蟲劑) and medicines. Soon there was no money left.
Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn’t been useless. They had been doing an important job---eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.
Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to the sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.
小題1:From paragraph I we learn that the villagers __________.
A．worked very hard for centuries

We were standing at the top of a church tower. My father had brought me to this spot in a small town not far from our home in Rome. I wondered why.
“Look down, Elsa,” father said. I gathered all my courage and looked down. I saw the square in the center of the village. And I saw the crisscross (十字形) of twisting, turning streets leading to the square. “See, my dear,” father said gently. “There is more than one way to the square. Life is like that. If you can’t get to the place where you want to go by one road, try another.”
Now I understood why I was there. Earlier that day I had begged my mother to do something about the awful lunches that were served at school. But she refused because she could not believe the lunches were as bad as I said.
When I turned to father for help, he didn’t say anything. Instead, he brought me to this high tower to give me a lesson. By the time we reached home, I had a plan.
At school the next day, I secretly poured my luncheon（午餐）soup into a bottle and brought it home. Then I asked our cook to serve it to mother at dinner. The plan worked perfectly. She swallowed one spoonful and sputtered（噴濺出）“ The cook must have gone mad！” Quickly I told her what I had done, and Mother stated firmly that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day!
In the years that followed I often remembered the lesson father taught me. I began to work as a fashion designer two years ago. I wouldn’t stop working until I tried every possible means to my goal. Father’s wise words always remind me that there is more than one way to the square.
小題1:The author’s father took her to the top of a church tower to ____________.
A. enjoy the beautiful scenery of the whole town

小題2:What did the author want her mother to do earlier that day?.
A. Do something delicious for lunch.

D. Speak to the school about lunch.
小題3:The underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph suggests that__________________.
A. the cook agreed to serve the soup to the writer’s mother.
B. the author’s mother was angry with the cook.
C. her father persuaded her mother successfully.
D. the method the author thought of was effective.
小題4:What did the author’s mother think of her luncheon soup after she tasted it?

Phys ed (physical education) is making a comeback as a part of the school core curriculum(核心課程)，but with a difference. While group sports are still part of the curriculum, the new way is to teach skills that are useful beyond gym class. Instead of learning how to climb a rope, children are taught to lift weights, balance their diets and build physical endurance(忍耐力). In this way，kids are given the tools and skills and experiences so they can lead a physically active life for the rest of their life.
Considering that 15 percent of American children aged 6 to 18 are overweight, supporters say more money and thought must be put into phys ed curriculum. In many cases, that may mean not just replacing the old gym-class model with fitness programs but also starting up phys ed programs because school boards often "put P.E. on the chopping block (砧板), cutting it entirely or decreasing its teachers or the days it is offered," says Alicia Moag-Stahlberg, the executive director of Action for Health Kids. The difference in phys ed programs is partly due to the lack of a national standard. "Physical education needs to be part of the core curriculum," she added.
The wisdom of the new approach has some scientific support. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin have showed how effective the fit-for-life model of gym class can be. They observed how 50 overweight children lost more weight when they cycled and skied cross-country (越野)than when they played sports. The researchers also found that teaching sports like football resulted in less overall movement, partly because some reluctant（不情愿的）students were able to sit on the bench.
Another problem with simply teaching group sports in gym class is that only a small percentage of students continue playing them after graduating from high school. The new method teaches skills that translate to adulthood.
小題1:According to the passage, what is usually taught in the old gym class?
A．Lift weights B．Climb a rope C．CycleD．Have a balanced diet
小題2:What does Alicia Moag-Stahlberg mean by saying “some school boards put P. E. on the chopping block”?
A．Schools do not pay enough attention to P. E..
B．Schools welcome P. E. but do not have time for it.
C．Schools put P.E. in the first place.
D．Schools cut down other subjects’ time for P. E..
小題3:Which is NOT the reason to carry out phys ed programs according to the passage?
A．More teenagers are overweight.
B．Traditional group sports teaching is not effective.
C．Students need to learn some skills to help them lead a physically active life.
D．Phys ed programs need less money to support.
小題4:How many problems are mentioned in the passage with simply teaching group sports?
A．TwoB．Three C．FourD．One
小題5:What’s the difference between the come-back phys ed and the ordinary gym-class model?
A．The Phys ed teaches group sports.
B．The Phys ed provides more fitness programs.
C．The Phys ed teaches tools and skills which could be used in the future life.
D．The Phys ed has more support from the government.

At Dallas/Fort Worth Airport, the lights are controlled by sensors that measure sunlight. They dim immediately when it’s sunny and brighten when a passing cloud blocks the sun.
A wall of windows at a University of Pennsylvania engineering building has built-in blinds (百葉窗) controlled by a computer program that follows the sun’s path. Buildings are getting smarter and the next generation of building materials is expected to do even more.
Windows could catch the sun’s energy to heat water. Sensors that measure the carbon dioxide breathed out by people in a room could determine whether the air conditioning needs to be turned up.
Many new materials and technology have been designed in the last 15 years. They are now being used in a wave of buildings designed to save as much energy as possible. They include old ideas, like “green roofs”, where a belt of plants on a roof helps the building keep heat in winter and stay cool in summer, and new ideas, like special coating for windows that lets light in, but keeps heat out.
As technologies such as sensors become cheaper, their uses spread.
The elevators (電梯) at Seven World Trade Center, which is under construction in New York, use a system that groups people traveling to nearby floors into the same elevator, thus saving elevator stops. People who work in the building will enter it by swiping (刷) ID cards that will tell the elevators their floor, readouts will then tell them which elevator to use. The building also has windows with a coating that blocks heat while letting in light.
More new building materials and technology are in development. A Philadelphia building firm is now working on “smart wrap” that uses tiny solar collectors to catch the sun’s energy and transmitters (傳輸器) as wide as a human hair to move it. They are expected to change the face of the construction industry in the next ten years or so.
小題1:________ will be developed and used in the construction industry.
A．“Green roofs” that cool or heat buildings
B．“Smart wrap” that catches the sun’s energy
C．Sunlight-measuring sensors that control lights
D．Window coating that lets light in, but keeps heat out
小題2: The elevators at Seven World Trade Center are special because they can ________.
A．send people to floors with fewer stops B．teach people how to use their ID cards
C．make people stay very cool in summer D．help people go traveling in the building
小題3: The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to ________.
A．a(chǎn) human hairB．smart wrap C．the sun’s energyD．a(chǎn) transmitter
小題4:What might be the most suitable title for the text?
A．Buildings Are Becoming Smarter B．Buildings Are Getting More Sunlight
C．Buildings Are Lacking in Much Energy D．Buildings Are Using Cheaper Materials
