Many artists tried. The king looked at all the pictures. But there were only two he really liked, and he had to choose between them. One picture was of a calm lake. The lake was like a perfect mirror. There were many peaceful high mountains around it. A blue sky with soft white clouds was above the mountains. All who saw this picture thought that it was a perfect picture of peace.The other picture had mountains, too. But these were rugged (崎岖的) and bare (光秃的). There was an angry sky above the mountains. It was raining heavily and it was lightning (闪电) . A waterfall fell down the side of the mountain. This did not look peaceful at all.But when the king looked closely, he saw behind the waterfall a small bush growing in a crack (裂缝) in the rock. In the bush a mother bird had built her nest (鸟窝). There, in the middle of the bush of angry water, sat the mother bird on her nest in perfect peace.Which picture do you think won the prize? The king chose the second picture.

During his stay in China, he saw many wonderful things. One of the things he discovered was that Chinese used paper money. In western countries, people did not use paper money until the 15th century. However, people in China began to use paper money in the 7th century.A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2,000 years ago. He made it from wood. He took the wood from trees and made it into paper. He then put these pieces of paper together and made them a book.Now paper still comes from trees. We use a lot of paper every day. If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth. If there are no trees, there will be no paper. Every day, people throw away about 2,800 tons of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. We must start using less paper now. If we dont, we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper. So how can we save paper? We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially when we are making notes. We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets. We can also use cotton handkerchiefs（手帕）and not paper ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer bags. If the shop assistant does give us a paper bag, we can save it and reuse (再用) it later.59. What did Marco Polo do when he was in China? A. He discovered Cai Lun invented paper. B. He learned to make paper. C. He saw many wonderful things. D. He read a lot of books.60. When did people in western countries first use paper money？A. In the 17th century.B. In the 15th century.C. In the 13th century.D. In the 7th century.61. Which of the following is NOT the way of saving paper? A. To use both sides of every piece of paper. B. To use the paper bags from shops more than once. C. To use cotton handkerchiefs instead of paper ones. D. To plant more trees.（3）A life coach (人生导师) is somebody who helps you reach all kinds of personal and professional goals (目标). Each of us has the ability to be our own life coach. Here are some tips for you: Pay attention to your relationships with others.Ask yourself the following questions: What do you do with disagreements? When was the last time you showed your family members that you care for them? Your relationships with friends, family members and teachers show a lot about the kind of person you are. Face the fears about the future.Now, imagine that one of your good friends told you that he or she was not strong enough to go back to school. We often give better advice than we are willing to take ourselves. Remember that even the most successful people were probably told that what they wanted to do was impossible, but they followed their dreams and succeeded.
