One day, Henry went to town to visit Mike. “Look, my brother,” said Mike, “Here is the best 2 tree from my garden. Take it home and 3 it so that you, and your children, and your children’s children can enjoy it.” Henry was 4 with the apple tree and went back home. The next morning, he began to 5 where he should plant it.
“If I plant it on the hill,” said he to himself, “the wind might catch it and 6 down the fruit. If I plant it close to the road, people who pass by will pick some of them. But if I plant it...”

When Mike saw where the tree was planted, he laughed and said, “You have planted the tree in such a cold corner without 10 or warmth. How, then, could you expect flowers and fruit?”

【安徽】North American black bears are shy animals. They are fearful by nature, and will usually run away if they see or hear people. Because of this, it can be difficult for scientists to learn about these animals.
In order to study black bears, researchers from New Jersey, USA, catch bears and use drugs to help them go to sleep. Researchers then work out the size and the weight of the bear, take blood to test for diseases, remove a tooth and take it to the lab to find out its age. From these studies, researchers want to find out how many bears live in New Jersey, how long they live, and how many babies they produce.
But in Minnesota, USA, researchers study bears that are completely awake. The bears know the researchers’ voices and they are not afraid of the research team. With the help of a few grapes to keep the bears busy, researchers can touch them to check their hearts, look at their teeth, and do other jobs. Researchers can also walk or sit with bears for hours and make videos to learn about their everyday lives.
In both places, the main purpose is the same—to make sure there is a healthy population of black bears. But the research methods and the kinds of information that researchers are able to collect are quite different.

A.shy and fearful animals
B. not found today
C. well known to scientists

A.can never get close to the bears
B. study the bears while they are asleep

Which Musical Instrument Shall I Learn
Many people would like to learn how to play a musical instrument, but they are put off by one big problem: What to play? Here are a few questions to help you decide.
(1)
Many instruments are of different use, but some are fitter for certain types of music. Some instruments may lead themselves better than others to the music you like, so consider this before you start.
Do you want to play with other people?
Think about your long-term future as a musician. If you want to play with other people, what sort of instrument would be most practical? Your first thought of playing the violin, for example, might disappear when too many people are competing with you!
(2)
Many people live in flats and practicing the drums, for example, will drive your neighbors crazy. Think about where and when you are going to practice, as well as the feelings of the people you live with or nearby.
(3)
This is quite a big factor. Many instruments can be bought at different prices. But this doesn’t change the fact that many, such as the piano, are always pretty expensive. If you can’t afford your chosen instrument, will you be able to borrow someone else’s or hire one?
(4)
Talk to people you know who already play instruments. They might even let you try theirs. It’s also a good idea to find an experienced music teacher, preferably one who plays a few different instruments, who can give you some advice and push you in the right direction.
A.Still not sure?
B. Where are you going to practice?
C. How much money can you spend?
D. Are you weak or strong?
E. What kind of music do you like?
5. Do you like music? Why or why not?(不少于5个单词)

【陕西】The eagle has the longest life of its group. It can reach up to 70 years. But to reach this age, the eagle must make a hard and painful decision.
When an eagle reaches near 40, its short sharp beak(喙) becomes bent(弯曲的). Its long and once flexible(灵活的) talons(爪) can no longer catch animals or birds for food. And its old and heavy wings with thick feathers on its body make it difficult to fly. Then, the eagle has only two choices: to die or to go through a painful time of change which needs five months.
When the eagle feels weak and is about to die, it goes to a place far away on the top of a mountain and sits on a nest. For a new life, the eagle knocks its beak against a rock until it pulls its beak out. After pulling it out, the eagle waits for a new beak to grow. And then it pulls out its talons and old feathers. It takes the eagle five months to complete its change and get a new life. We can call it its rebirth. So it can live for 30 more years.
Like the eagle, we human beings sometimes need to make some change to get out of our difficulty. In miserable condition, we have to change our ways of life. The changing may be very painful. But sometimes we have to throw off our old habits, memories and traditions. We can’t go on with all our past burdens(重负).

【天津】In northern Scotland there is a long, deep lake called Loch Ness. More than 200 meters deep, it is the largest lake in the UK. People say a big monster(怪兽) lives in its dark, cold waters. It weighs more than 1,000 kilos and is at least ten meters long. Some people say it has a head like a horse. Others say it looks like a snake.

1970 was World Conservation(保护) Year. The United Nations wanted everyone to know that the world was in danger. They hoped something could be done.
Here is one example of the problems. At one time there were 1,300 kinds of plants, trees and flowers in Holland(荷兰), but now only 866 are left. The others have been destroyed(毁灭) by modern people and their science. We are polluting the earth, the air, the water and everything around us. We can’t live without these things.

For example, they plant trees. In a small town in the United States a large group of girls cleaned the banks of 11 kilometers of their river.

Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu, which lies in Shandong Province. He lived during the Spring and Autumn Period. He had a hard childhood. His father died when he was only 3. His mother brought him up. As a child, he had to work to help his mother, but young Confucius didn’t give up studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry and sports.
Later, he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history. At that time only children from noble families could go to school, but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn. He had about 3,000 students in his lifetime.
Today, people still follow Confucius’ lessons. He told us that we all have something worthy to be learned. “When I am with three people, one of them must be better than me in some areas. I choose their good qualities and follow them.”
He also taught us that thinking is very important in study. “All study but no thinking makes people puzzled (困惑的). All thinking but no study makes people lazy.”
