1、   There is a Chinese saying “千里送鹅毛，礼轻情意重”. The saying comes from a historic book called Lu Shi (《路史》). According to the story, a Tang Dynasty official in Yunnan wanted to show his respect (尊敬) to the emperor (皇帝). He sent a man named Mian Bogao to bring some gifts to the emperor. 1. One of the gifts was a beautiful swan, which was a very valuable gift at the time.

Mian took good care of the swan on his way to the emperor. One day, he passed by a lake and wanted to let the swan drink some water. 2. But as soon as he set the swan free, the swan flew away, leaving only some feathers on the ground. Mian was very worried, but he didn’t try to run away. 3. 他决定告诉皇帝发生了什么。He picked up a feather and kept going on his trip.

When Mian met the emperor, he told him what happened and said, 4. “This swan feather is light, but it carries my deep respect for you.” The emperor was happy with Mian’s honesty and sincerity (真诚). He forgave (原谅) Mian. 5. 人们现在用这个说法来表明好的礼物不一定要很贵。What matters is the sincerity it carries.

24、Would it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation?

UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their co-operation and support, passing around necessary nutrition "depending on who needs it".

Nitrogen (氮) and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all.

Simard talks about "mother trees", usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down "mother trees" with no awareness of these highly complex "tree societies" or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest.

"We didn't take any notice of it" Simard says sadly. "Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance." If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.

【1】The underlined sentence "the opposite is true" in Paragraph 2 probably means that trees .

A. compete for survival B. protect their own wealth

C. depend on each other D. provide support for dying trees

【2】"Mother trees" are extremely important because they .

A. look the largest in size in the forest B. pass on nutrition to young trees

C. seem more likely to be cut down by humans D. know more about the complex "tree societies"

【3】The underlined word "it" in the last paragraph refers to .

A. how "tree societies" work B. how trees grow old

C. how forestry industry develops D. how young trees survive

【4】We can learn from the passage that _______.

A. trees aren’t as complex as we think

B. Charles Darwin had the same opinion as Simard

C. if “Mother trees” are cut down, they won’t make difference to young trees.

D. trees can share resources with other ones by the underground fungi networks.

26、   I teach economics in a university three times a week. Last Monday, at the beginning of class, I asked my students how their weekend had been. One young man said that his weekend had not been so good. He had his wisdom teeth removed. Then he went on to ask me why I always seemed to be so cheerful.

His question reminded me of something I’d read somewhere before: Every morning when you get up, you have a choice about how you want to live that day. I said, “I choose to be cheerful.”

“Let me give you an example,” I continued. “Besides teaching here, I also teach at a college in Henderson, 17 miles down the freeway from where I live. One day a few weeks ago, I exited(离去) the freeway and turned onto College Drive. I only had to drive another quarter mile down the road to the college. But just then my car died. I tried to start it again, but the engine wouldn’t work. So I put my flashes on, took my books, and walked down the road to the college. As soon as I got there, I called AAA (汽车协会) and asked for a tow truck to meet me at my car after class. The secretary there asked me what had happened. “   Δ   .” I replied, smiling.

“Your car breaks down but it is not a bad day. What do you mean?”

“My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway. It didn’t,” I replied. “Instead, it broke down at the perfect place: off the freeway, within walking distance of here. I’m still able to teach my class, and I’ve been able to ask for the tow truck to meet me after class! If my car was meant to break down today, it couldn’t have been arranged in a more convenient way.”

I ended my story. In spite of the early hour, no one in my class seemed to be asleep. Somehow, my story had touched them.
