15、e useful to man in three very important ways: they provide him with wood and other products; they give him shade; and they help to prevent droughts ( 干旱 ) and floods.Unfortunately, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. Two thousand years ago a rich and powerful

16、 country cut down its trees to build warship， with which to gain itself an empire( 帝国 ). It gained the empire, but, without its trees, its soil became hard and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the home country found itself faced by flood and starvation(饥饿，饿死 ). Even though a government realizes

17、 the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult for it to persuade villagers to see this. The villagers want wood to cook their food with; and they can earnmoney by selling wood.They are usually too lazy to plant and look after the trees. So, unless the government has a good system o

18、f control, or can educate the people, the forests will slowly disappear. This does not only mean that the villagers' children and grandchildren will have fewer trees. The results are even more serious, for where there are trees their roots break the soil up allowing the rain to sink in and also

19、bind the soil, thus preventing its being washed away easily but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows awayfrom the surface, causing flood.31.What is the most important function of trees?A.

21、nd women. Career women are healthier than housewives. Evidence shows that the job-less are in poorer health than jobholders. Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy away from loneliness. Researchesshow that people feel unhappy, worried and lonely when they have nothing to d

22、o. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard.Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. By work people come into with each other. By collective activity they find friendship and warmth. This i

23、s helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man spiritually and makes him ill. Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment（满足感） and a sense of achievement （成就感） . Work makes one feel his value and status in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor
