We say his bark is worse than his bite.

Trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they provide him wood and other products; they give him shade; and they help to prevent drought (干旱) and 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 where 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 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 droughts and floods

C. make him draw quick profit from them　　 D. enable him to build warships

2.It’s a great pity that ________.

A. man hasn’t realized the importance of trees to him

B. man is eager to profit from trees

C. man is only interested in building empires

D. man hasn’t found out that he has lost all trees

3.Sooner or later the forests will disappear ________.

A. unless a country has a plenty supply of trees

B. unless people stop cutting down their trees

C. unless the government punishes those who cut trees instead of planting them

D. unless all people are taught the importance of planting trees

4.The word “bind” in Paragraph 5 means “________”.

A. to wash away　　 B. to make stay together

C. to make wet　　 D. to improve

Trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they provide him with wood and other products；they give him shade；and they help to prevent drought and 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, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had.

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 hard 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 for it to persuade the villager to see this. The villager wants wood to cook his food with, and he can earn money by making charcoal(木炭) or selling wood to the townsman（城市居民）. He is usually too lazy or too careless to plant and look after 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 the villager’s sons and grandsons have 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 hold the soil, thus preventing it being washed away easily, but where there are no trees, the soil becomes hard and poor. The rain falls on hard ground and flows away on the surface, causing floods and carrying away with it the rich topsoil, in which crops grow so well. When all the topsoil is gone, nothing remains but a worthless desert.

2. In the writer’s opinion, _________, or the forests will slowly disappear.

A. measures must be taken

B. people shouldn’t draw benefit from the tree

C. government must realize the serious results

D. unless no trees are cut down.

3.According to the article we know it is ________ to prevent the forests from slowly disappearing.

A. necessary but impossible                                 B. necessary but difficult

C. impossible and unimportant                                   D. difficult and impossible

4.In the last two paragraphs the writer wanted to make it clear that _________.

Are the lives of city kids the same as those in villages? In lots of ways, they are very different. But what are those differences?

Hu Peng from Wuhan and four of his friends decided to find out. Earlier this month, they went to live for a week in Caidian, a village near Wuhan. Hu and his Junior l classmates went door to door in Caidian and asked kids lots of questions. They want to learn more about village kids' everyday lives, so they asked questions like this: Do your parents teach you how to do the housework? How much money do you usually spend on dinner? What would you do if a thief came into your house? They also asked 150 city kids the same questions.

On April 12, the team gave a report to their class. They told about many differences between children's lives in cities and those of children in villages. The biggest difference is about independence. Hu's team found that 60 percent of city kids can't do much housework, but 90 percent of village kids can care for themselves.

City kids told Hu they care about schoolwork a lot, and they have no time for washing clothes or making their beds. Village kids said they help their parents a lot : cooking, cleaning the houses and feeding pigs. Hu's team  also found that village kids have less pocket money. Many have never used computers. They like playing in rivers or on mountains. Some don't even like to make new friends.

Hu and his friends said their trip gave them more self- confidence (自信) because they have done something by themselves. But it also worried them a bit because they found they still have a lot to learn. "When we grow up, our parents can't take care of us," Hu said. "We have to learn to take care of ourselves. "  Shen Guanquan, one of Hu's friends said, "When people learn to care for themselves, they learn to do lots of difficult things. "

1.How many city kids went to learn about village kids' everyday lives?

A. Three.         B. Four.      C. Five.       D. Six.

2.Their report showed that most city kids ＿＿.

A. help their parents a lot         B. have less pocket money

C. can take care of themselves     D. still have a lot to learn

3.The underlined word "it" in the last paragraph means ＿＿.

A. their trip      B. their report    C. a  village kid    D. a city kid

4. Hu Peng and his friends finished their report by ＿＿.

A. visiting schools in the village
