Every day I pass by a homeless old man on the street. He usually sat near where I go to school. Whenever I pass by, he says “hello” in a cheerful manner, and I always say it back. I give him any extra (多余的) change I have.
The old man always wears an old watch. It is not an expensive watch by any means, but it serves its purpose. One day I noticed he wasn’t wearing it any more. I asked him why and he looked down and told me that the battery (电池) had died so he threw it away. I knew he couldn’t buy a new battery and he had no enough money to buy a new watch.
He stayed on my mind all day, and I knew what I had to do. I went out to a shop and bought him a watch. It was not an expensive one, but one that was very similar to the one he had.
When I saw him the next day, he was smiling and cheerful as ever. When I bent down to put some change in his cup, I also dropped the watch in. I didn’t say anything about it. I just smiled at him and kept on walking. He didn’t even notice it until I left. I looked back and watched as he pulled the watch from the cup. He looked to me and I just smiled and nodded. He put the watch on with a big smile on his face and I walked happily on my way.

Studying abroad can be a difficult experience, so you had better remember the following things.
You can not completely (完全) enter another country if not leaving your home behind. When you are abroad, do not always speak on your mobile phone to people at home or spend too much time on the Internet.
If you want to learn the language, you have to practise it. Because practice makes perfect.
If you have made a choice to study in a foreign country, forget your pride (骄傲) and don’t be afraid to make mistakes. It is natural for anyone to make mistakes when learning a new language. This is how we learn.
Be 10 times more polite than usual. People are more likely to be helpful and patient if you are nice and polite. If you are staying with a family, make sure to clean the room and make your bed, and always be polite when talking to them.
Try to get into the local society. School is important, but the cultural experience is also very important. We all like to get good grades and do well in school, but we can not fully understand the culture only in the classroom.
Do not waste your time. Everyone has bad days when they miss home. These days will pass. Remember that you are one of the few lucky people. Go and learn about the world and, most importantly, have fun.

七、任务型阅读 (10%)
Trees are one of the oldest plants of our earth．Just like us，trees change a lot when they grow. At one to three years old，young trees learn how to protect themselves. For example，many trees grow thorns (刺) to tell animals not to go near. Most young trees have large, deep green leaves so that they can catch enough sunlight and change it into their food and energy. When trees are 4 years old，they begin to grow very fast and become strong enough to face challenges (挑战) in life. At the age of l5，trees become young adults. They grow more slowly and begin to grow flowers and fruit. It is not until the trees are 20 to 25 years old that they become real adults．The trees reach their largest sizes. Adult trees give us many things such as oxygen (氧气) and natural beauty. If we give them good care，they will go on to live healthily for many years．
As time goes on，trees begin to grow older and older and even die．At this time，they still
have their important place in nature．In many ways，the life of trees is like our own life experience.
Enjoy every minute of the life of the trees and take care of them!
