（共5小题，每小题2分，计10分)A rich man was once riding along the road and saw an old man digging in his garden. On the ground lay a young tree, ready to be planted. The rich man called out to the old man, “What kind of tree are you planting there, my good man?”“This is a fig(无花果) tree, sir. ” He said.“A fig tree?” the rich man was very surprised, “Why, how old are you,may I ask?”“I am ninety years old.”“What!” cried the rich man, “You’re ninety years old. You are planting a very young tree now and it’ll take years to give fruit. You certainly don’t hope to live long enough to get any fruit from this tree. ” The old man looked around the garden. Then he said with a smile, “Tell me, sir. Did you eat figs when you were a boy? ”“Sure,” the man did not know why he asked this question.“ Then tell me this,” he said, “Who planted the fig trees?” “Why? I don’t know.” “You see, sir.” went on the old man,“ Our forefathers(祖先) planted trees for us to enjoy and I am doing the same for the people a fter me.”The rich man was quiet and said, “You are right，my good man. We should do some things for the people after us. Thank you very much.”Then he rode away.回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过5个单词。
