13、There was once a farmer who had a fine olive orchard(橄榄果园). He was hard-working, but his three sons hated farm work. When the farmer was dying, he called the three sons to him and said, "My sons, there is a pot (罐子) of gold hidden in the olive orchard. Dig for it, if you want it."
The sons tried to get him to tell them in what part of the orchard the gold was hidden; but he would tell them nothing more.
After the farmer was dead, the sons went to work to find the pot of gold; since they did not know where the hiding-place was, they agreed to begin in a line, at one end of the orchard, and to dig until one of them should find the money.
They dug until they had turned up the soil from one end of the orchard to the other, round the tree-roots and between them. But no pot of gold was to be found. It seemed as if someone must have stolen it. The three sons were rather disappointed to have all their work for nothing.
The next olive season, the olive trees in the orchard____more fruit than they had ever given; when it was sold, it gave the sons a whole pot of gold.
And when they saw how much money had come from the orchard, they suddenly understood what the wise father had meant when he said, "There is gold hidden in the orchard. Dig for it, if you want it."

Matt ooked at their designs and his eyes widened. “Their kites are a lot better than ours. Look! This kite looks like an airplane,and that one looks like a spaceship, but our kite is a boring diamond (菱形)!”
“What if we give it a cool-looking tail?” Allie suggested. They cheered up a little and worked together on their kite all
the weekend. To make the kite look better, they added a tail with beads (珠子) and tiny mirrors.
On the day of the composition, Allie and Matt carried their kite to the starting place between the spaceship and the airplane.The rules were simple.The kite that flew the highest for the longest time won.
Round One began. Allie held the string (线) while Matt ran down the field with the kite. He lifted it in the air. The kite shook and fell to the ground. Round One was over for them.
Matt ran back to Allie. “It’s the tail. The beads and mirrors are weighing it down.” “But they’re so pretty,”
Allie said. “Do you want pretty or do you want to win?” Matt asked. Allie nodded. Matt pulled off the beads and mirrors. He finished just in time for the start of Round Two. As he ran with the kite, he could feel the wind picking it up. He let it go and ran back to help Allie. They let out the string as far as it would go, right past the spaceship and the airplane.

Hi Sam! Sorry I have n’t emailed recently—I’ve been revising for my exams. I have finished them now and I have got some time to relax and some money to spend on going out. Last weekend, I went to see a great film called Yes Man. If you haven’t seen it, you must go! Jim Carrey plays the main character and it’s very funny--and also quite encouraging. It’s based on a book by Danny Wallace which is also called Yes Man. I read the book a few months ago and
that’s hilarious, too – I really laughed out loud!
The book is a true story about what happens to the writer, Danny. Basically, he found that he was doing nothing all the time, just worrying about things and complaining about his life. He wasn’t seeing his friends much, so he was lonely and bored. Then one day, he was on a bus in London when he sat down next to a man. The man was a stranger, but they started talking. Danny told him about his boring life and the man just gave him three words: ‘Say “yes” more.’ And for Danny this was a turning point in his life. Those three words influenced everything he did. At that moment, he made a decision: ‘I will say “yes” to everything!’ And he wrote a book about what happened to him in the next year or so. Three years later, the book was made into a hit film.
The film is based on the book altho ugh there are some differences. First, it’s set in the US instead of England. Secondly, the main character is based on Danny, but he called Carl in the film. And what’s more, he doesn’t meet a man on a bus. His turning point comes when he goes to a self-he lp class and they advise him to say “yes” more.
In the film, Carl succeeds in changing his life and doing lots of crazy things: he has flying lessons, he learns to speak Korean and he rides a motorbike with no clothes on! The storyline isn’t very strong. It’s quite weak, I suppose, but all Carl’s stories are very interesting— especially because Jim Carrey is a very funny actor.
I’m really interested in the film because there’s a serious message, too. I believe in making the most of life and I’ve decided I’m going to be more positive. I’ve decided I’m not going to stay at home so much. I’m going to do more things, see my friends more and everything. Actually, that’s why I’m emailing you! It would be great if we could meet up soon. Let me know when you are free.
All the best, Adam
1．The underlined wordhilariousin Paragraph1 most probably means _____.
A．simple B．helpful C．humorous D．meaningful
2．In Paragraph 3, there are_____ differences mentioned between the book and the film. A．two B．three C．four D．five 3．Adam wrote this email mainly _____.
A．to talk about what he was doing recently
B．to introduce the book Yes Manwritten by Danny to Sam
C．to advise Sam to watch the film Yes Man made in US
D．to talk about why and how he wants to change his life
4．From the email we can infer (推断) that _____.
A．Sam will love Yes Man as much as Adam does
B．Yes Man must be the most popular book in the US
C．Adam used to stay at home a lot before seeing Yes Man
D．Jim Carrey is now a very funny actor because of Y es Man

19、How to help Wang Tao
Wang Tao spent too much time playing computer games and he fell behind others. As a good friend of his, I must do something to help him. Firstly, I think it’s very important for him to learn lessons well. He should spend most of his time on his study instead of computer games. Secondly, I must tell him that playing computer games too much is bad for his health, especially for his eyes. So he must give it up. I can play more sports with him after school. Maybe he will become more interested in sports than computer games. And then I'll ask him to concentrate more on his study. Of course, I will try my best to help him with all his subjects. I think I can do it in many fun ways and let him find much fun in studying. At the same time, I'll ask both his parents and our teachers to help him, too. If I try these, I'm sure he will make great progress soon.。
