A poor farmer has a friend. One day, his friend gives him a young apple tree and tells him to take it home and plant it.

The farmer is pleased with the gift, but when he gets home, he doesn’t know where to plant it. Finally he plants the tree in the forest where no one can see it. But without sunlight or good soil, the tree will soon die.

Later the friend asks the farmer why he plants the tree in such a poor place. “What’s the difference?” the farmer says angrily. “If I plant the tree near the road, strangers will steal the fruit. If I plant the tree in one of my fields, my neighbors will come at night and steal some of the apples. If I plant it near my house, my own children will take the fruit.”

“Yes,” says his friend, “but at least someone can enjoy the fruit. Now you not only rob(剝奪) everyone of the fruit, but also you destroy(破壞) a good apple tree.”

1.Where does the farmer plant the tree?

A. In the forest. B. Near his house. C. In his field. D. Near the road.

2.The underlined word “steal” means _________ in Chinese.

A. 買 B. 摘 C. 看見 D. 偷

3.The farmer has ______ reasons to plant the tree in the forest.

A. One B. Two C. Three D. Four

4.What does the friend think of the farmer?

A. He is right. B. He is wrong. C. He is clever. D. He is kind.

In today’s world many people seem to be hungry for money. Some of them even lose their lives for it. Money does have its most useful effect(影響)on the poor，but once a person has a rich life，a lot more money doesn’t mean more happiness.

If money was everything，all millionaires(百萬富翁)would have true love, true friendship，good health and a long life. However，this is not always true.

Nothing else is more pleasant than the three words which are “I love you”. But can love be bought？I’m afraid not. Love means to give，not to take. To every person，health and long life are probably the most precious(寶貴的)things. Well，can health and a long life be bought with money？The answer is “No”.

Of all the longest living people in the world, few of them are millionaires. True friendship can’t be bought either. In a word，Where money is worshiped(崇拜)，money can cause brothers to quarrel，lovers to hate，strangers to fight and so on. No matter how much money you have，it is still not enough to make you a happy person if you have no one to laugh with，no one to cry for.

1.According to the passage，which of the following do you think is right？

A. Money is everything.

B. Money isn’t necessary.

C. Money is important，but not the most important.

D. With no money，with no success.

2.Which sentence of the following is TRUE according to the passage？

A. If you haven’t much money，you can’t get more happiness.

B. You may live a long life even if you are poor.

C. Every year many people die in the world because their family is poor.

D. If you are rich，you will have less friendship.

3.In fact, all millionaires _________.

A. have less money B. die earlier

C. hate their money D. have true love

4.What does the sentence“ Love means to give, not to take.” mean in the passage？

I’m Ella, a 14-year-old girl from America. Here are the rules my parents set for me:

●When I get out of school, I must text my mom; once on the school bus, text her again; then call her when I get home.

●Show them everything in my schoolbag (and all tests) every day.

●I shower at 8:00 till 8:30 or they will come in and turn the water off.

●I must be asleep by 10:00 (It’s 3:10 a.m. now). If I'm caught awake they will check on me every two hours to make sure I am asleep.

● I must be downstairs for “family time” for at least two hours every weekend.

●Mom chooses what I wear at all times.

● I must walk the dog with Mom. If I go alone, send a video every ten minutes.

● I must ask permission (準(zhǔn)許) before watching a movie.

● I must ask my mom if I can be friends with someone before becoming friends.

I have to do what they say, or I'll be a disappointment. But the rules make my life really boring. Today I read a poem by Kahlil Gibran, which says:

Your children are not your children.

They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.

They come through you but not from you,

And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts.

For they have their own thoughts.

...

Is it a good idea to show this poem to my parents tomorrow?

1.How many times must Ella communicate with her mom from school to home?

A. Once. B. Twice.

C. Three times. D. Four times.

2.Ella must finish a shower in ________.

A. 20 minutes B. half an hour

C. 40 minutes D. an hour

3.What must Ella ask permission to do?

A. Go to bed after 10:00.

B. Walk the dog alone.

C. Watch a TV show.

D. Make a new friend.

4.Why does Ella want to show her parents the poem?

A. She wants to tell them the rules are unfair.

B. She hopes they can explain the poem to her.

C. She needs to share a poem for “family time”.

D. She knows they are interested in Kahlil Gibran.
