A
A farmer had a brother in town who was a gardener, and had a garden full of the finest fruit trees. So his skill and his beautiful trees were famous everywhere. One day the farmer went into town to visit his brother, and was surprised at the trees that grew quite well.
“Look, my brother,” said the gardener. “I will give you an apple tree, the best from my garden, and you, and your children, and your children’s children will enjoy it.”
Then the gardener called his workmen and ordered them to take up the tree and carry it to his brother’s farm. They did so, and the next morning the farmer began to wonder where he should plant it.
“If I plant it on the hill,” he said to himself, “the wind might catch it and shake down the delicious fruit before it is ripe. If I plant it close to the road, passers-by will see it and take away the apples—but if I plant it too near the door of my house, my children may pick the fruit.” So, after he had thought the matter over, he planted the tree behind his barn (谷仓).
Time passed, but the tree had no fruit the first year, nor the second—then the farmer sent for his brother. When the gardener came, the farmer said angrily, “You have cheated me, and given me a useless tree instead of a fruitful one. This is the third year and still brings out nothing but leaves!”
The gardener laughed and said, “See where the tree was planted, it has no sun or warmth. How, then, could you expect flowers and fruit?”

A. behind his barn B. on the hill C. close to the road D. near the door of his house

B. Why the farmer got angry with his brother.
C. What kind of man the farmer was.
D. Why the farmer sent for his brother.
59. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. The farmer’s brother had a garden full of the finest fruit trees.
B. The gardener gave his brother the best apple tree from his garden.
C. No flowers, fruit or leaves were on the apple tree.
D. The farmer thought his brother gave him a useless tree.
60. What do you know from the end of the story?

B. The gardener took the tree back to his garden.
C. The tree will have no fruit any more.
D. The gardener taught the farmer a lesson.
B
There are many expressions with heart. One of them is to "lose your heart" to someone. When that happens, you have fallen in love. But if the person who "won your heart" does not love you, then you are sure to have a "broken heart." In your sadness, you think that the person you loved is "hard-hearted," and in fact, has a "heart of stone."
You may decide to "pour out your heart" to a friend. Telling someone about your personal problems can often make you feel better.
If your friend does not seem to understand how painful your broken heart is, you may ask her to "have a heart." You are asking your friend to show some sympathy (同情) for your situation. Your friend "has her heart in the right place" if she says she is sorry for how you feel.
If your friend says, “My heart bleeds (流血) for you”, she means the opposite. She is a cold-hearted person who does not really care about your situation.
When you are feeling afraid, "your heart is in your mouth." You might say, for example, that your heart was in your mouth when you asked a bank to lend you some money to pay for a new house.
If that bank says no to you, do not "lose heart." Be "strong-hearted." Sit down with the banker and have a "heart to heart" talk. Be open and honest about your situation. The bank may have a "change of heart" and agree to lend you the money. Then you could stop worrying and "put your heart at rest."
61. If the person who won your heart does not love you, what do you think of her?
A. She has a strong heart. B. She has a heart of stone.
C. She has a broken heart. D. She loses her heart.
62. If your friend has her heart in the right place, she may _______.
A. be kind to you B. tell us about her personal information
C. live a happy life D. have a right heart
63. If your friend says, “My heart bleeds for you”, she may _______.
A. not know about her health problem B. have a heart trouble
C. not care much about you D. want to know what happened
64. Which expression can best describe the feeling when a student has to see his headmaster?
A. A broken heart. B. Lose one’s heart.
C. Heart in one’s mouth. D. Have a heart.
65. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Don’t lose heart if your request is refused.
B. A “heart to heart” talk means being open to the banker.
C. A strong-hearted person always puts his heart at rest.
D. The bank lends money to those who need it most.

Some children have problems in reading. One of the reasons is poor speech and language development. But 69. _________because of a learning habit. Whatever the reason or nature of the child’s reading problem is, the earlier the difficulty is discovered, 70. _________. The good news is that no matter how long it takes, children’s schoolwork is to cheer them up. Help them have the confidence to keep trying.

Some Ways To Create More Time In Your Day
Get up earlier
Get up fifteen minutes earlier. Getting up just a bit earlier can give you some breathing (呼吸) space. Perhaps it’ll give you time to sit down and enjoy your breakfast. Maybe you can use that fifteen minutes a day to read through a book or part of magazines.
Create a plan
At the start of your workday, make a plan. Write down three important tasks you want to achieve that day quickly. Put a big star next to the most important. Now, before you get into the busy work, start on the important task and see it through to the end.
Surprisingly few people take the time to plan their workday, and end up turning around their wh
