Trees are useful to man in three important ways: they give him wood and other useful things,
they give him cool places, and they help to stop drought and flood.
most important. Man wants to make money from trees, so he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had. And also, he is usually too careless to plant and look after new trees. So the forests slowly disappear.
This does not only mean that man will have fewer trees. The results are even worse: for where there are trees, their roots break up soil, make the rain in, and also bind the soil, thus stopping it from being washed away easily; but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away, causing floods and carrying away the rich top-soil. When all the top-soil is gone, nothing is left but useless desert( 荒漠 ).
46. The most important points of trees to man is ________.
A. they help him to make money
B. they give him cool places
C. they give him wood and other things

A. roots of trees break up the soil
B. there are too many rainfalls
C. strong winds bring a lot of sand
D. there are no longer trees to keep the rain and protect the top-soil.
48.Which title best fits the passage?
A. Trees and Man
B. The Function of Tree Wood
C. The Usage of Tree Roots
D. How do People do with Trees?

When you are about to do something brave, a cheerful wish of"Good luck!" from a
friend can be helpful. But if you think you need lots of luck, what else might you do?
In the UK and US there are some strange traditions for bringing yourself a little more
good luck. Some are hundreds of years old and some are much newer.
Have you heard the saying "When you wish upon a star"? If you are looking up at the sky
on a clear night and you see a sudden flash of light, it is probably a shooting star! Seeing one doesn't happen very often. The saying goes that if you see one you have been very lucky, and so if you make a wish, it will come true.
Maybe you have heard of the lucky rabbit's foot. Some people believe that rabbits are lucky animals, so they carry a part of the rabbit, its foot, for good luck. There are all kinds of strange, unclear rules about which of the rabbit's feet is the luckiest. It is said that this good luck tradition
is the oldest one of all.However, as the funny saying goes, "Depend on the rabbit's foot if you will, but remember it didn't work for the rabbit!"
People in Britain love trees. If it is autumn and leaves are falling from the trees, some people try to catch the leaves as they fall because they think each leaf they catch will bring them a lucky month in the following year-they will need to catch 12 falling leaves to have a whole of good luck!
49. ______ is mentioned in the oldest good luck tradition.

People like to tell me rubbish. Not just friends, but strangers ,too.
Once, at the airport, my husband stepped off an escalator(自动扶梯 ) before me. When he
realized I wasn ’ t with him, he looked back and saw me hugging (拥抱) a stranger.
I ’ d asked the man behind me:“ Did you haveLas Vegas?funin”
His answer broke my heart. After 50 years away, I’ d come to say goodbye to the lover of his
life, who was dying of cancer.
“ I should have married her 50 years ago,” he said. I hugged him, and then he was gone.
Moments later, my husband said:“ He told you all that on the escalator?” I nodded.
“ Maybe he just needed to tell somebody, And I happened to ask.”
When someone wants to talk, you just need to ask a question. The words don’ t matter. It tone (语调 ) in your voice and the look in your eyes and the caring in your heart that count.
Sometimes I think the whole world is crying out to be heard.
And yet, we don’ t ask the question or say the things we need to say to those who matter most
to us while there is still time, and a chance, to do so.
Recently I heard from a reader who shared with me the eulogy(悼词) she’ d written after
losing her mother. I wish her mother could have read it. I can only hope her mother knew all the
things her daughter wrote about her — that she was known so well and loved so much.
I like to think people will say a few nice things about me when I’ m gone. But given a choic I would rather hear those things before I go. Wouldn’ t we all?
That started me thinking. I need to tell my children I am proud of them. They know it, but it
can ’ t hurt to say it again.
I need to tell my sister I will forever in her debt(欠她的情). I was the one who left. She was
the one who stayed, who ’s “ been there” for our family — for our mother, our dad, our brothers
and me.
And to my husband, I need to say, well, he puts up with a lot.
In fact, I need to say a lot of things to whole lot of people. Maybe you do, too. You can tell

Make the benefits most, reduce the drawbacks least
Hosting the Olympics successfully is, perhaps, the greatest glory for a city. However, before transforming the dream into reality, the benefits and drawbacks of hosting the Olympics should be considered carefully.
Hosting the Olympics surely would bring about much gain to a city. Boom of the local economy, more jobs, and the possibility of generating income all sound extremely attractive to the municipal government. At the same time, better infrastructure (基础设备), cleaner environment, enjoying the wonderful game with hundreds of sports elites (精英) and entertainment stars, and the opportunity of contacting people from all over the world also seem exciting to the citizens. Besides, the hosting will definitely promote the patriotic emotion and pride, as well as the moral behavior in local people. In most cases, hosting the Olympics is well supported by both the public and the central government.
But this is not the entire view of the pretty picture. If we look from another angle, the Olympic hosting might bring about some side-effects to a city.
First, the environmental impacts, including the increasing exhaust smoke of cars, more pressure on water resources, huge amount of wasted leaflets and other materials used for public activities, are most probably neglected. In order to broaden the streets, some trees may have to be cut. Near the construction site, the tiny dust may float in the air for a long time. Reduction of farmland may be caused by the need of setting up new sports centre or accommodation facilities. These environmental consequences can be especially serious in a resource-limited and thickly-populated city in a third-world country. Second, if talking about the economic benefit, it should not be forgotten that a quick increase may lead to bubble ( 泡沫 ) growth, which may easily crash. If not well managed and organized, the big event may not be so profitable, and the new facilities may be forever empty after the games. Yes, there have been cases that host cities ended up with enormous debts.
No one stops eating merely because too much food might hurt his stomach and make him ill. Since we have bid for it, what we can do is to make the benefits most and reduce the drawbacks least.
Title: Make the benefits most, reduce the drawbacks least
The Olympics may become a glory if __1_____ successfully.
Two sides of the coin.
Drawbacks may be brought about as well.
The advantages of hosting the Olympics.
The disadvantages of hosting the Olympics.
conclusion They city’infrastructure gets ___2____ and its economy, education, employment may benefit a lot.
There are more chances to get in __3_____ with the people from all over the world.
People are____4___ of their country.
The games may lead to environmental impacts.
Too quick increase in economy gets crashed after the event. The facilities may get empty after the games.
We should think about the__5_____ drawbacks while preparing for the Olympics so as to make the event a really beneficial one.
