14．Trees are useful to man in three important ways：they give him wood and other useful things，they give him cool places，and they help to stop drought and flood．
  Unluckily，in many parts of the world，man has not found that the third of these points is the most important．Man wants to make money from trees，so he has cut them down in large numbers，only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had．And also，he is usually too careless to plant and look after new trees．So the forests slowly disappear．
  This does not only mean that man will have fewer trees．The results are even worse：for where there are trees，their roots break up soil---make the rain in---and also bind the soil，thus stopping it from being washed away easily； but where there are no trees，the rain falls on hard ground and flows away，causing floods and carrying away the rich top-soil．When all the top-soil is gone，nothing is left but useless desert．

13．There is no such thing as"the perfect parent"and everyone has to learn how to educate their children．Parents may be annoyed by their kids and yell （大喊） at then，but they should be careful not to yell at the children．
Children need to be loved and cared for．They need positive encouragement，which will help them believe that they can succeed in their lives．This will also give them opportunities to explore and try out new things．If parents yell at their children，the emotional （感情的） development of them can be badly affected．
Though parents think they are protecting their children at all times，the children will not feel safe when they are yelled at．It can be a very bad experience for children．This can make it difficult for children to enjoy parents'presence （在场） if they are being yelled at．
A person needs to be a good listener and also should learn to give others a chance to talk．When a child grows up with parents who often yell，this will not happen．When parents often yell，their children will also learn the same thing and they will find it natural not to listen to anyone．
The confidence （自信） of a child is built up by his or her parents．There is no doubt that yelling will only decrease their confidence level．The words used while yelling can affect them greatly．They will not want to do anything without asking for their parents'permission．

32．According to Paragraph 2，if a child is often yelled at，he/she willC．
A．have many bad experiences   
B．learn to yell at others pretty soon
C．suffer poor emotional development   
D．want to escape from his or her home
33．Paragraph 3shows that the children who are often yelled at are hard to feelB．
A．protected             B．safe   
C．parents'presence     D．self-confidence
34．What can be inferred from the last paragraph about the children who are often yelled at？C
A．They try their best to be confident．
B．They doubt everything around them，
C．They are not able to make their own decisions．
D．They will become dangerous to others．
35．Which is the best title of the passage？B
A．Be a perfect parent
B．Don't yell at your children
C．Parents should learn how to educate the children
D．Parents should protect their children．

12．Do you like going to a theater to watch live performances？If you do，I'm not alone．
Live performances at theaters interest different groups of people from rich people to office workers．If you go to any theater and look at its audience，you will find it is made up of teenagers，the elderly and anyone in between．One part of it is due to the marketing and the show itself．For example，Hair isn't going to interest the same audience as My Fair Lady．Another part of it is due to the area in which you live．The Palace Theater in Manchester，for example，interests a more urban （城市的）crowd than the Leddy Center in Epping．All of these people have an interest in the magic of live performances and they go to the theater for different reasons．
There is nothing better than live theatre performances to increase your cultural awareness （意识） When you go to see a live theater performance，no matter whether it is a musical or a play，you are improving your knowledge of the world around you．Some people go to the theater to have fun and escape their troubles； others，particularly rich people，go to the theater to develop their knowledge of the world around them．Both of them are very good reasons for going to see live theater performances．However，personally，I often go to the theater more to have fun than anything else．
Everyone has the right to enjoy any performance，whether it's a world-famous performance by the New Hampshire Ballet or a second-rate performance by your local community theater．The main thing to remember is whether you are there to heighten your awareness of the culture or to get away from your problems．You should appreciate the performance for what it is，because too many people these days don't know enough about the arts．

B．some shows are better than others
C．not all shows are attractive to the audience  
D．different shows interest different people
31．According to the author，going to the theater is helpful because of the following reasons EXCEPTA．

B．being a way of learning something  
C．being a way of entertainment
D．improving people's understanding of their own or other cultures．

7．One should be moderate in all things．Moderation is always the safest way to do things，and a virtue we should have．Let's take the student life for example．There are some students who study too hard and play too little，while there are others who play too much and study too little．On the one hand，it is harmful to his health if he has too few physical exercises，and on the other hand，it is harmful to his mind if he plays too much．
    In the matter of eating，one also should be moderate．Do not eat too much or too little．Eating too much will make you sick，while eating too little will make you week．
The man of progress is he who neither has too high opinion of himself nor thinks too poorly of himself．If he thinks too highly of himself，he is surely to become very proud，but if he has too poor an opinion of himself，he will have no courage to make an advance．Both conditions above will make you lose your aim in life．A broadminded man is he who always moves within the orbit of reasonableness．In any activities in one's life，moderation is one of the best ways to enjoy real happiness
