Trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they provide him food, wood and other products; they give him shade; and they help to prevent droughtand floods.
Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees, he has cut them down in large numbers.
Two thousand years ago, a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire. It gained the empire but, without its trees, its soil became bare and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the country found itself faced by floods and starvation.
Even though a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult sometimes to make the people realize this. They cut down the trees but are too careless to plant and look after new trees. So unless the government has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests will slowly disappear.
This does not only mean that there will be fewer trees. The results are even more serious. For where there are trees, their roots break the soil up, allowing the rain to sink in, and also bind the soil. This prevents the soil from being washed away. But where there are no trees, the rainfalls on hard ground and flows away on the surface, and this causes floods and the rain carries away the rich top soil in which crops grow. When all the top soil is gone, nothing remains but worthless desert.
1. Trees are useful to man mainly in three ways, the most important of which is that they can ____.
A. keep him from the hot sunshine
B. protect him from drought and floods
C. make him draw quick profit from them
D. enable him to build warships
2. The underlined word “bind” in Paragraph 5 means “______”.
A. to wash away
B. to make stay together
C. to make wet
D. to improve
3. The purpose that the writer wrote this article is to ______.
A. tell people the use of wood
B. tell people the function of tree roots
C. warn that man mustn’t destroy forests any more
D. explain how trees help to prevent drought and floods

The story of Santa Claus began hundreds of years earlier. During the fourth century, a Roman Catholic church official called Nicholas of Myra became famous for his many good actions. Nicholas was made a saint after his death and it became common in northern Europe to hold a
celebration on December 6th,the day Nicholas died. All kinds of stories were told about saint Nicholas and the Dutch brought one of these stories with them to America. They believed that each year the saint rode a white horse from home to home. He gave presents to children who had been good, and coal or straw to children who had been bad. Other Americans who lived nearby greatly enjoyed the Dutch celebrations. They decided to make saint Nicholas part of their own celebration of Christmas. But he got a new name Santa Claus. It was taken from the Dutch words for Saint Nicholas, Santa Claus. The Dutch imagined Saint Nicholas to be a serious, even frightening person, who could punish as well as give gifts. But in 1822,an American named Clement C. Moore wrote a Christmas poem for his children, the poem called A Visit from St. Nicholas, created a completely new Santa Claus. Dr. Moore described a short, happy, little man who rode in an open sleigh. The sleigh was pulled from house to house by eight white reindeer. At each house Santa delivered gifts by dropping them down the chimney into the fireplace. Dr. Moore’s poem was published in a newspaper in New York, in 1823. It soon became popular all over America and it became the source for the Santa Claus American children still believe in today.
An American artist named Thomas Nast also played a part in creating Santa Claus. Beginning in1860’s, Mr. Nast drew pictures of Santa Claus for an American publication called Harper’s Weekly. These pictures showed a fat, smiling old man with a red nose and white beard. He was dressed in a red suit with white fur and a black belt. Today more than one hundred years later, that same Santa Claus can be seen everywhere at Christmas time.

Many years earlier,my motherknew that she could not send me tocollegeand pay for it. She worked in a retail store and made just enough to pay the bills and take care of the other children athome. If I wanted to go to college, it was up to me to find out how to get there.
I found that I qualified for some grants because of the size of our family, my mom’s income and my SAT scores. There wasenoughto cover school and books, but not enough for room and board. I accepted a job as part of awork-study program. While not attractive, it was one I could do.
I washed dishes in the school cafeteria.
Just when I thought I was going to drop out of my college career, an angel appeared. Well, one of those that are on earth, without wings. “I heard that you need some help,” he said. “What do you mean?” I asked, trying to figure out which areaof my life he meant. “Financially, to sta y in school.” “Well, I make it okay. I just have trouble working all these hours and finding time to study.” “Well, I think I have a way to help you out.”
He went on to explain that his grandparents needed help on the weekends. All that was required of me was cooking meals and helping them get in and out of bed in the morning and evening. The job paid four hundred dollars a month, twice the money I was makingwashing dishes. Now I would have time to study. I went to meet his grandparents and accepted the job.
My first discovery was his grandmother’s great love of music. She spent hours playing her
old, off-keypiano. One day, she told me I didn’t have enough fun in my life and took it upon herself to teach me the art. Grandma was impressed with my ability andencouragedme to continue. Weekends in their house became more than just books and cooking. They were filled with the wonderful sounds of the out-of-tune piano and two very out-of-tune singers.

Paragraph 1:
When Christmas break came, Grandma got a chest cold, and I was afraid to leave her.I hadn’t been homesince Labor Day, andmy motherwas anxious to see me. I agreed to come home, but for two weeks instead of four, so I could return to Grandma and Grandpa. I said my goodbyes, arranged for their temporary care and returned home. As I was loading my car to go back to school, the phone rang.“Grandma died last night. I’m sorry.”I hung up the phone feeling like my world had ended. I had lost my friend, and that was far worse than knowing I would have to return towashing dishes. I went back at the end of four weeks, asking to begin the work-study program again. The financial aid adviser looked at me as if I had lost my mind. I explained my position. Then he smiled and slid me an envelope. “This is for you,” he said.
Paragraph 2:
The envelope was from Grandma.She had known how sick she was. In the envelope wasenoughmoney to pay for the rest of mycollegeyear and a request that I take piano lessons in her memory. Moved to tears, I determined to learn piano lessons by heart and my memory of G randma motivated me to practice day and night. I don’t think the piano piece was even played with more feeling than it was my second year in college. Now, years later, when I walk by apiano, I smile and think of Grandma. She is playing the piano smilingly in heaven, I am sure.。
