When I was growing up,I had an old neighbor named Dr Gibbs.He didn’t look like any other doctor I’d ever known.He was a very kind person..After he retired,he began to plant trees in his large garden. He wished to make it a forest.
The good doctor had some interesting ideas about planting trees.He never watered his new trees.Once I asked why,he said,“If you water them,each baby tree will grow weaker and weaker. Otherwise,they will have to grow deep roots to look for water under the earth by themselves.”
He planted some oaks, and instead of watering them every morning,he beat them with a rolled-up newspaper.I asked him why he did that,and he said it was to get the trees’ attention.
Dr Gibbs died two years after I left home.I always walked by his house and looked at the trees that I’d watched him plant about twenty –five years ago.They’re very big and strong now.
I also planted two trees several years ago.I carried water to them for a whole summer.I sprayed(喷洒)them.However,after two years of caring too much,whenever a cold wind blows in, they shake a lot.
Life is hard,whether we want it to be or not. What we need to do is try our best to make our roots reach deep into the brave heart,so when the rain falls and the wind blows,we could face them strongly and won’t be beaten down.

A. He was strict with his neighbors.

2.How did Dr Gibbs treat his trees?
A. He sprayed them.
B. He shook them a lot.
C. He watered them every morning.
D. He sometimes beat trees with a rolled-up newspaper.
3.Why did Dr Gibbs treat his trees in that way?
A. Because he wanted to make them grow better.
B. Because he wanted to work off his anger.
C. Because he didn’t care about them at all.
D. Because he wanted to make experiments on them.
4.What’s the main idea of this passage?

When someone says, “I guess I′ll have to face the music”, it doesn′t mean he is going to a concert. It is something unhappy. For example, a student is called in by his teacher to explain why he didn′t finish his homework.
Every American, young or old, knows the phrase “to face the music” well. It′s at least 100 years old. Where did the expression come from?
One explanation (解释) is about the American writer James Fennimore Cooper. He said the expression was first used by actors. When they were asked to perform, they would say, “It′s time to face the music.” And that is exactly what they did-face the band which is just below the stage (舞台).
An actor might be nervous when he moved onto the stage in front of the audience (观众). But he had to go out. So, “to face the music” came to mean having to go through something no matter how unhappy it might be, because you had no choice.
The other explanation comes from the army. The soldiers had to face their leader′s check. They were worried about how well they looked. Were their guns clean enough to pass the check? Still, the men had to go out to face the check. What else could they do?
1.What does the expression “to face the music” exactly mean?
A. To go to a concert.
B. To become interested in music.
C. To join the army.
D. To go through something unhappy.
2.In which of the following places won′t the expression “to face the music” be
used?
A. The stage. B. The school. C. The city library. D. The army.
3.What′s the main idea of the fourth paragraph?
A. Worries of an actor on the stage.
B. Different kinds of audience.
C. Why an actor is nervous on the stage.
D. The true meaning of “to face the music”.
4.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Here are two explanations about the expression “to face the music”.
B. The music in “to face the music” is a kind of terrible music.
C. When you face the music, it means that you must go through it.
D. When someone says he has to face the music, he will have no choice.

As a kid, I read a story of a bird. It described a male bird which takes a lot of pain to build a house and the female bird takes care of the baby in it. When the baby bird learns to fly, the whole family flies off to a different place leaving behind the beautiful nest for other birds to grow their family in it. It made me confused(困惑的): How could they so easily give up their house built with so much effort?
One night, I got this dream. I was walking on the endless road with beautiful trees on the either side. Attracted by the greenery, I went on, then I saw a wonderful house. I explored the house. There was a sloping(斜的) roof which matched with the greenery around; the large central open yard reminded me of the activities that might have taken place there which felt lively even now. The small water body that kept the house cool added to the beauty of the house — of course, it was all dried up now. Such liveliness turns the house into a home. People say “THE HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS”, and now I felt it and was attracted deeply.
When I woke up from the dream, I was clear about everything. I realized what message my dream wanted to convey(传递) me. And years later, when I chose my career, I thought of the story of the bird and my dream, then I was sure what to do. I decided to choose architecture as my career. I wanted to do the same thing that the male bird in the story did, to take pain in building a beautiful house and let others stay in it. My dream comes true and the happiness that I gain now from this career is great.
1.When the writer read the story of the bird, he felt___________.
A. bored B. confused C. amazed D. worried
2.In the writer's dream, what part of the house attracted him most?
A. The sloping roof of the house.
B. The body of water that keeps the house cool.
C. The large central open yard.
D. The liveliness that he felt around the house.
3.The underlined word “architecture” in Paragraph 3 means ___________ in Chinese.
A. 考古 B. 天文 C.建筑 D.艺术
4. The passage is mainly about___________.
A. how the bird could give up their house easily
B. how the writer finally becomes an honest citizen
C. what we need to do when we choose our career
D. why the writer chooses architecture as his career
