There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn to not judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away. The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in the summer, and the youngest son in the fall.
When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen. The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. The second son said no - it was covered with green buds and full of promise. The third son disagreed, he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, and it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen. The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.
The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but one season in the tree's life. He told them that they cannot determine a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the nature of who they are - and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life - can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are over.
If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, fulfillment of your fall. Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest.
Don't judge a life by one difficult season.
46．Why did the man send his four sons to look at the pear tree in four seasons?
A．Because the sons didn’t get well on with each other.
B．Because the sons wanted to enjoy the different sights.
C．Because the man wanted his sons to learn to not judge things too quickly.
D．Because the man knew the pear tree completely.
47．What does the underline word “determine” mean according to the passage?
A. decide B. believe C. think D. judge
48．If you give up when it’s winter, what you will get?
A．the promise of your spring B．the beauty of your summer
C．fulfillment of your fall D．nothing
49．Which season is “the pain of the season” in Paragraph 4?
A．winter B．spring C．summer D．fall
50．According to the passage, the main idea is that ________.
A．the pear tree had four seasons
B．the man loved his sons very much
C．don't judge a life by one difficult season
D．the youngest son is the cleverest man

In the United States, crime worries a lot of people. Every year, the number of crimes goes up. And many criminals are young. Most of them --- 85 percent are boys. They often come from sad homes, with only one parent or no parents at all. There are problems with alcohol(烈酒) and drugs(毒品). There are many young criminals in prison. But prison doesn’t change them --- 60 to 70 percent will go back to crime when they come out of prison.
One man, Bob Burton, thought of a new idea that travel could help to solve one of the country’s worst problems--- crime. In the old days, young men had to live a difficult life on the road. They learned to be strong and brave, and to help their friends in time of danger. This helped them to grow into men. So Bob Burton started “Vision Quest”(寻梦).

The day starts before the sun comes up. The boys and girls learn to care for themselves. They also have to feed their horses. Some of them have never loved anyone before. But they can love their horses. That love can help them to a new life.
Not all young people on “Vision Quest” will leave crime behind them. 30 or 40 percent will one day be in prison again. But that’s a lot better than 60 or 70 percent. Bob Burton is right. Travel can be good for one. Even today, Americans still say, “Go west, young men.”
