So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away. The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall.When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen. The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. The second son said no - it was covered with green buds and full of promise. The third son disagreed, he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen. The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but one season in the trees life.He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the essence of who they are - and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life - can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up.If you give up when its winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, fulfillment of your fall. Dont let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest. （1）From the last paragraph we learn that we _.

These people are called the Heads-down Tribe. Are you a heads-down tribe member? Heads-down tribe members now can be seen everywhere.More and more traffic accidents are happening because more drivers use mobile phones when they are driving. In order to make drivers pay more attention to driving, some new traffic rules have been made. For example, heads-down tribe members who use mobile phones while driving in Taiwan are fined. Car drivers and motorcyclists（骑摩托车的人）who break the traffic rule will be fined NT$3,000 and NT$1,000 respectively.As we can see above, using mobile phones may cause accidents and even cost a lot of money. Besides, more and more interesting and strange facts happen to the Heads-down Tribe. Lets have a look at an interesting TV report. A man in America kept using his mobile phone on his way home. As a result, he bumped into（撞上）a big lost bear. When he lifted his eyes from the phone, he was so scared that he turned around and ran away as quickly as possible. Another fact is that we can often see people in the restaurant eating face to face but looking at their own mobile phones. Its strange that they dont talk to the ones who sit opposite to them during the meal. Some of them even have fun communicating with others on the phone.Mobile phones are helpful and necessary tools for modern life. Are mobile phones good or not? It depends on how people use them. Lets be healthy users and try to be the Heads-up Tribe.（1）What do we know about the Heads-down Tribe? A . They are cool kids.B . They are dangerous drivers.C . They are good at using the Internet.D .

Play by ear used to mean playing music using the sheet music, but now people often use it when theyre not talking about music.Therere many idioms in English. If you learn to use them, your English will be more vivid and colorful. English idioms are more common in spoken English. They can be difficult to remember sometimes. Next time when you hear somebody saying to you, Give me a hand, you dont necessarily stretch out your hand to him/her, but you do need to be helpful. And when the situation is out of hand, you usually can do very little to manage all tha
