Once there was a rich man named
Chulong
．
One day, he was walking in
his garden when he saw a strange
1
with
beautiful
features(
特征
) and
sweet voice in a
tree
．
Chulong
2
went near
the tree and caught the
bird, which he
thought he could
3
and get lots of
money
．
“Don’t think about making
money through me!” said the bird, “
4
will buy me,
because, in imprisonment
(
监禁
), I lose my beauty and
sweet voice
．” Chulong’s hope of making
money was
shattered
．
He became angry
and wanted to
5
the bird for the
meat
．
Then the
6
bird suggested, “Well, set me
free．
In return I shall teach
you
7
simple but
useful rules, which can do good to
you
．”
Chulong didn’t believe the
bird
8
, and he was afraid that the bird
would fly
away
．
However, the
bird
9
it would keep its word(
守信
)
．
Chulong wanted to
take a
risk
．
He
set the bird free and it sat on the branch of a
tree
．
It
became
10
again
．
Chulong asked, “Now teach
me the rules．” “Certainly,” said the
bird．
Then the bird taught Chulong the
11
: The first
rule is Never believe everything
others
say
．The second rule is Never be sad
about something you don’t have．
The
third rule is
Never throw away what you
have in your hand
．
“You silly
bird,” shouted Chulong, “These rules are known to
everyone
．
You
12
me
．”
But the bird said, “Today,
you had me in your hand, but you
threw me
away
．
You believed
all that I
said
．
And you are sad about
not having me
．
13
the rules are simple,
you have
never followed
them
．
Now have you got the

of the rules? Just sit down and think for a

Roald Dahl was one of the most
successful writers of children’s
books．
He sold millions of
books all over the
world
．
Many of his books have
been made into films and
videos
．
He is so
famous that there is even a Roald Dahl
Museum you can visit
．
Roald Dahl was
born in 1916 in Wales,
Britain
．
His father was rich
but he died when Roald
was very
young
．
Roald and his mother
lived a hard life
．
He had to
leave school and went to
Africa where
he worked for an oil
company
．
In 1939 Roald became a
pilot, but he had a bad
accident
．
It made him
limp(
瘸的
) for the rest
of his life
．
After
this, Roald went to America where he wrote a story
about his experience as a
pilot
．
It was so
good that it was put in a
magazine
．
Roald married an American
film star
．
They bought a
house in England and had five
children

From
1960 to 1965,
▲
:
Theo, one of his children, was hit by a taxi and
was
seriously hurt
．Olivia,
one of Roald’s daughters, died of a strange
illness．
Soon after this,
his
wife also had a serious
illness
．
It took her years to
get completely better
．
Gradually Roald
became more and more
successful
．
He always did his
writing in an old shed(
棚
)
at the back of his
house
．
He always sat in the
same old armchair with a wooden board on his
lap
．
“One of the nice things
about being a writer,” he once said, “is that all
you need is
what you’ve got in your
head and a pencil and a bit of paper．”
In 1983 Roald
won a big prize for his book The
BFG
．
During his life, Roald
wrote many famous
books, such as
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda,
Fantastic Mr
．
Fox
．
After he died in 1990, Roald left money
to help people with serious illnesses and those

C
“Am I my brother’s keeper?” The
question comes from the
Bible(圣经
)
．
In the
Bible, Cain
kills
his
brother Abel
．When God asks Cain where
Abel is, he replies, “I don’t know．
Am I
my
brother’s keeper?” by which he
means, “Am I responsible (有责任心的
) for my
brother
—
his
safety and health?
” The
answer, of course, is “Yes, you are．”
This sense of
responsibility for others is basic t o all good
societies
．
And also it is
basic to what we call “civil(文明的)
society”．
China is now working on
building a civil
society and the high
schools in Shanghai want students to take part in
that through
volunteering
．
They
are supposed to do sixty class hours of volunteer
work before
graduation
．
This
is something new in China, but it is not new in
other countries
．
In the Canadian province of
Ontario, high school students are required to do
forty hours of
volunteering
．
In
some American states, the volunteering requirement
is one hundred hours
．
These
students spend about an hour a week
during the school year and summer vacations,
helping the
poor, the sick and the
old
．
They also teach young
children to read and help to clean up the
environment
．
And
studies have shown that this volunteering
experience influences students a lot
after graduation
．
Some of you may
be thinking, “Gee, sixty class hours is a
lot．
How can I fin
d the
time?”
In fact, if you finish it in
three years, you only need to do the work about
three class hours a
month
．And the time is well
spent if it helps you realize that “being your
brother’s keeper”
makes you a better
person and makes society a better place for
everyone
．

The
Vine That Ate the South
Kudzu is a fast-growing
vine(
蔓生植物
) that covers a
large area in the southern United
States
．
It is so
common that one might think it is a native plant,
but it is not
．
Kudzu was
brought to the United States from Japan
in 1876
．
Many Americans
thought it was beautiful, and
they
began to plant it
．They didn’t know it
could grow up to a foot a day during the summer
months
．
Nor did
they know it would grow up and over anything in
its path(
路径
)
．
In
Japan, kudzu experienced cold winters and a short
growing season
．
But in the
United
States, it has a very long
growing season with warm and wet southern
weather
．
It is fine weather
for the vine to grow
fast
．
In the 1920s, people used
the vine to feed farm
animals
．
Ten years later, the
government
supported to plant kudzu
because it kept soil(
土壤
)
from washing away
．
However,
by the 1950s,
the government no longer
wanted people to plant the
vine
．
Twenty years after
that, the
government said it was a
harmful plant
．
The vine grows up trees and
buildings, making some beautiful
shapes
．
However, trees die
after kudzu covers them because they
can not get enough
light
．
Scientists are looking
for ways
to kill the
vine
．
They used
poisons(
毒药
) to kill the
vine
．
However, some of the
poisons made it
grow even
better
．
Scientists also find
it difficult to dig up
Kudzu
．
The plant is really
tough
．
Because kudzu is so hard to
kill, some people are making the best of
it
．
So they try to find
different uses for the
vine
．
They find the vine can
be used to make paper and baskets, it can be
used to feed the goats, and it can even
be eaten by
people
．
Scientists are
studying it in the
hope that the vine
can be used as a medicine
．
At
the very least, kudzu serves as an example of
the unexpected results that can come
from non-native plants
．
1
．
We can learn
from the passage that
．
A
．
kudzu mostly
grows in the northern America
B
．
kudzu was
brought to Japan from America
C
．
kudzu grows
very fast in warm and wet weather
D
．
American
government has never supported to plant kudzu
2
．The underlined word
“tough” in Paragraph 4 probably means “
”．
A
．
not easily
broken
B
．
widely used
C
．
hard to grow
D
．important to one’s
health
3
．
The last
paragraph is mostly about
．
A
．
how
quickly the vine grows
B
．
how people use
the vine
C
．
why people want
to kill the vine
D
．
why people eat
the vine
4
．The writer uses
the title “The Vine That Ate the South” most
probably to
．
A
．
let
readers know kudzu is a vine
B
．
interest
readers in a humorous way
C
．
tell readers
the vine is a kind of food
D
．
get readers to
realize the passage is serious
