utah, he happened to live near a copper smelter (炼铜厂), and the chemicals that poured out had made a wasteland out of what used to be a beautiful forest. one day a young visitor looked at this wasteland and called it an awful area. paul knocked him down. from then on, something happened inside him.years later paul was back in the area, and he went to the smelter office. he asked if they had any plans or if they would let him try to bring the trees back. the answer from that big industry was “no”.paul then went to college to study the science of plants. unfortunately, his teachers said there werent any birds or squirrels to spread the seeds. it would be a waste of his life to try to do it. everyone knew that, he was told. even if he was knowledgeable as he had expected, he wouldnt get his idea accepted. paul later got married but his dream would not die. and then one night he did what he could with what he had. as samuel johnson wrote, “it is common to overlook what is near by keeping the eye fixed on something remote. attainable good is often ignored by minds busied in wide ranges.” under the cover of darkness, he went secretly into the wasteland and started planting.and every week, he made his secret journey into the wasteland and planted trees and grass. for fifteen years he did this againstthe plain common sense. slowly rabbits appeared. later, as there was legal pressure to clean up the environment, the company actually hired paul to do what he was already doing.now the place is fourteen thousand acres of trees and grass and bushes, and paul has received almost every environmental award utah has. it took him until his hair turned white, but he managed to keep that impossible vow (誓言) he made to himself as a child. 1. when paul was a boy, _.a. he had

mean? a. it was impossible for trees to grow on the wasteland.b. his normal work and life would be greatly affected.c. no one would like to join him in the efforts.d. he had to keep everything he did secret.bplanning a visit to the uk? here we help with ways to cut your costs.avoid big eventsbig sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. a standard double room at the thistle brighton on the final friday of the brighton comedy festival (19 oct.) cost 169.15 at b. a week later, the same room cost 118.15.if you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoidor youre looking for a big event to pass your timecheck out sites such as w, which allow you to search for events in the uk by city, date and category.stay away from the stationif traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.dont be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at travelodges central euston hotel in london for saturday 22 september was 95.95. a room just a tube journey away at its covent garden hotel was 75.75. and at farringdon, a double room cost just 62.95. look after yourselfreally central hotels in cities such as london, edinburgh and cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. as an alternative consider checking into a selfcatering flat with its own kitchen. often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. a great example is the historic oneill flat on edinburghs royal mile, available for 420 for five days in late september, with room for four adults.get on a bikelondons “boris bikes” have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programs that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car

september7cardiffs program allows a free bike for a maximum period of _ a. half an hourb. one hour c. one hour and a halfd. two hourscmany of us mistakenly believe that its wrong to think we have any good qualities. we may spend a lot of time blaming ourselves for our negative qualities, thinking that self criticism is the key to improving our performance. however, a constant focus on our supposed shortcomings can stop our efforts to make friends with other people. how can we believe that others could like us if we believe our inner being is flawed? if someone seems to dislike you, the reason for that dislike might have little or nothing to do with you. the person who doesnt like you might be fearful, or shallow or busy or shy. perhaps you and that person are simply a mismatch for each other at this particular time.dont take yourself out of the game by deciding that your flaws are bigger than your good qualities. in fact, some of the very qualities you consider to be flaws may be irresistible to someone else. although some factors might cause one person to reject you, there are at least many factors that will work in your favor.you might be thirty pounds over your ideal weight, but you may have a wonderful laugh and a real enthusiasm for life. there are many people who dont mind your extra pounds. you may drive a shabby car, but you might be a great dancer and a loyal friend. there are people out there looking for loyalty, or fun, or sweetness, or wisdom, and the package it comes in is not important. if you are worried that you are not beautiful enough to attract friends, keep in mind that not everyone is looking for physical beauty in their friends. you can decide to feel inferior because you dont have much money and you dont drive a nice car. you can believe that this is the reason that you dont have many friends in your life. on the other hand, if you are very wealthy you may be suspicious that everyone is after your money and that nobody really likes you as a person.the point is that you can focus on just about anything and believe its the reason you do not have friends and cannot make any.8. according to the passage, _ plays an important role in making friends.a. admitting your shortcomings b. self criticism c. modestyd. confidence9. if you are not liked by a person, _ .a. you should find the reason in yourself b. youd better talk with the person face to facec. you may not be the one to be blamed d. you and that person misunderstand each other10. we can learn from the third paragraph that_ .a. your goodqualities may make you earn more moneyb. your weakness may also be your strengths in some wayc. your negative qualities may cause you to lose friendsd. youll have few friends if you dont share the same interest11. which of the following is true according to the author?_a. it is important to lose weight. b. it is easier for a wealthy person to make friends.c. inner qualities are more important than physical appearance.d. if you are not beautiful enough, try to improve your physical beauty.dthe connection shared by grandparents and grandchildren is something very special and despite the changing family situation, it still remains strong across generations. for most of us, our grandparents were our first best friends, the ones with whom we shared our secrets and our pain.in majority of the cases, grandparents would have babysat(照看) their grandchildren while parents were busy working and didnt have much time for their children. even as a kid grows up, the love and affection for grandparents never dies, and for many teens,visiting grandparents or living with them in the same house is a pleasure. kedar patwary, a mass communication student, says, i often end up having long conversations with my grandfather about the evolution of indian society and i really admire him for the patience with which he answers all my questions. many teenagers feel that their parents treat them as grown-ups, while their grandparents give them much freedom.leela narayanan, a grandmother, says that she loves to pamper her grandchildren and cook favorite dishes for them. she further adds that her eldest granddaughter, who is now 19, was brought up by her till she was four and the closeness they shared remains the same even now.at times, the gap generation plays a negative role, when grandparents find it difficult adjusting to the modern lifestyle. technology is what works against this relationship. youngsters being crazy about with gadgets leaves them with no time for their loved ones.maria kutty, is a grandmother to 12 kids. her face lights up every time her grandchildren are mentioned. but she has one complaint. all my children stay close to me but when they come to visit and i want to spend time with them, i cant find them anywhere. they only have time for clickety-clackety things in their hands. sometimes they listen to loud music and talk about things i dont understand. i feel very sad when i think of all those times, she says.12. the author uses kedar patwary as an example _.a. to show indian society is full of perfect harmonyb. to stress all the children admire their
