【题目】 A farmer had a friend and his friend was famous for growing wonderful apple trees.

One day, the farmer’s friend gave him a young apple tree and told him to take it home and plant it.

The farmer loved the gift. But when he got home, he did not know where to plant it. He was afraid that if he planted the tree near the road, strangers would steal the apples. If he planted the tree in one of his fields, his neighbors would come at night and steal the apples. If he planted the tree near his house, his children would take the apples. Finally he planted the tree in his wood. Nobody could see it, but there was no sunlight in his wood. The tree soon died.

Later, the friend asked the farmer why he planted the tree in such a poor place. “What’s the difference?” the farmer said angrily, “If I plant the tree near the road, strangers may steal the apples. If I plant the tree in one of my field, my neighbors may come at night and steal the apples. If I plant the tree near my house, my children may take the apples.” “Yes, ” said the friend. “but at least someone could enjoy the apples. Now no one could eat the apples, and the apple tree died !”

1The farmer's friend was famous for growing wonderful pear trees.

2The farmer didn’t plant the tree near the road.

3The farmer planted the tree in one of his fields.

4There was no sunlight in the farmer’s wood.

5All of the farmer’s friends enjoyed the apples at last.

【题目】 You may think that English dictionaries have been used for many, many centuries. The spelling of English has always been a problem, but it was more of a problem in the days before a dictionary. In those days people spelt words in different ways which you might find interesting. But it made reading English much more difficult. So dictionaries were invented to encourage everybody to spell the same. In fact, an English dictionary like the kind you use today wasn't made until the time of the Qing Dynasty.

The largest dictionary in the world is the Oxford English Dictionary, or OED for short. The idea for this dictionary came from an important meeting in Britain in 1857. Twenty-two years later, Oxford University asked James Murray to be the editor of its new dictionary.

Murray had not been to college. At the age of fourteen, he left his village school in Scotland and taught himself while working in a bank. Later he became a great teacher. After Oxford gave him the job, Murray had a place built in the garden behind his house to do his work. Part of it was one metre underground. In winter he had to wear a heavy coat and put his feet in a box to keep warm. Every morning, Murray got out of bed at five o'clock and worked several hours before breakfast. Often he would work by candle light into the evening.

Murray hoped to finish the new dictionary in ten years. But after five years, he was still adding words for the letter A! Then others went to work with Murray, and his two daughters were among them. He worked on the dictionary until he was very old. Forty-four years later, in 1928, other editors finished it. It had more than 15,000 words in twelve books. And you thought your English dictionary was big!

【题目】 Some recent surveys show that the health problems of many office workers are rather serious. Death cases among them are increasing year by year because of overwork and spending little time taking rest or doing exercise.

If their offices are within the distance of half an hour's walk, some office workers now choose to go to work on foot. Ms. Wang, who became to work in a foreign company in Beijing 8 months ago, has been walking to her office for more than 6 months now. "I usually have a busy work schedule and can't find time to do exercise. So I choose to walk to work." As she said, if the office is not far from home, most women would like to go to work on foot. Walking is good for their health and can help them to keep in good shape as well.

Apart from walking to office, one can also find time to do exercise when one is at work. The simple way is to give up the lift and climb stairs. Mr. Yang who works in the Passenger Service Department at Beijing Airlines, is one of such men who often climb stairs to his office. "I only use the lift whenever I am with my colleagues or my boss. Otherwise, I would climb stairs instead of taking the lift."

I go to the gym every weekend. During the weekdays, I will also go there whenever I have the time." Ms Sunny and her husband both have a gym membership card for a whole year.
