     There was an old pear tree in a man's garden. In the past,  the  tree  fruited  every  year, so the man
would  get  many  pears. But  now, the tree got old. There  were  no more  pears  for  the man. So the
ungrateful man decided to cut the tree down. When he walked toward the tree with an axe in his hand,
the tree said to him, "Please don't cut me down. I have borne so many pears for you in the past years.
Now I will die soon. I only have a short time to live. Please don't kill a dying tree that has done so much
for you."
     "I'm sorry. I have to do so," the man said, "because I need wood to make a chair." Then he began to
wave his axe. At that moment, a bird in the old tree shouted at him, "Don't cut it down! Every time you
go out and your wife feels lonely, she will come out to the garden and sit under the tree to enjoy its cool
shade, and I sing songs to make her happy. We give much pleasure to  your  wife  when  you  are away
from home."
     The man didn't listen to the bird and drove it away. Just when he was about to cut the tree, some
bees flew out of it and said, "Listen! If you agree not to kill this tree, we will give you delicious honey
every day. Would you please leave the tree with us?"
     The man got moved. He said, "You are so kind to the tree, although it has become old. Now I see
that I shouldn't cut it down. It has done so much for me and my wife. Let the tree stay here, and let the
bird continue its songs here." With these words, the man left. And the old tree lived there to its last day.

1. Which can be the best title of the story?
A. The Singing Bird          
B. The Man's Wife
C. The Old Tree            
D. The King Bees
2. The most important reason for the man to cut down the tree isn't that the man couldn't get any pears
from it, is it?
A. No, it isn't.                          
B. Yes, it isn't.
C. No, it is.                            
D. Yes, it is.
3. What made his wife happy when the man was not at home?
A. The tree and its shade.            
B. The tree and the bird.
C. The bird and its songs.            
D. The bees and their honey.
4. In the story, the underlined word "continue" means ______.
A. start                            
B. go on
C. take                            
D. speak again
5. What can we learn from the story?

    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(影响) 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(百万富翁) 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(宝贵的) 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 not one to laugh with, no one to cry for.

    A.Money is everything.
    B.Money isn’t necessary.
    C.Money is important, but not the most important.

    【小题2】 What’s the most important thing for every person according to the writer’s ideas?
    A.Only money.B.Health and a long life
    C.Only friendship.D.A, B and C
    【小题3】 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.
    【小题4】In fact, all millionaires ____________.
    A.have much moneyB.die earlier
    C.love their money D.have true love
    【小题5】 What does the sentence “Love means to give, not to take.” mean in the passage?
    A.爱意味着给你,而不能带走。B.爱是可以得到的,不要走开。
    C.爱意味着奉献,而不是索取。D.爱是可以索取的,而不必付出。
