Once there lived a farmer called Henry. He had a brother, Mike, in town who was an excellent gardener. His skill and his beautiful trees were         everywhere.
One day, Henry went to town to visit Mike. “Look, my brother,” said Mike, “Here is the best     tree from my garden. Take it home and        it so that you, and your children, and your children’s children can enjoy it.” Henry was         with the apple tree and went back home. The next morning, he began to        where he should plant it.
“If I plant it on the hill,” he  said  to himself, “the wind might catch it and         down the fruit; If I plant it close to the road, people who pass by will pick some of them; but if I plant it…”
      he planted the tree in the corner behind his house, where no one else could notice it. But the tree bore（结出）no fruit the first year, nor the second. Then Henry sent for his brother and said to him        , “You have cheated me. This is the third year and it brings me         but leaves.”
When Mike saw where the tree was planted, he laughed and said, “You have planted the tree in such a cold corner without        or warmth. How, then, could you expect flowers and fruit?”

Rich or poor, young or old, we all have problems. We can easily become unhappy        we solve our problems.        about our problems can affect how we do things at school or at home. So how do we deal with our problems?
Most of us have probably been angry         our friends, parents or teachers. Perhaps they said something you didn’t like, or you felt they were unfair. Sometines, people can stay angry for years about a small problem. Time goes by, and good friendsships may         .
When we’re angry, however, we are usually the ones affected. Have you ever seen young children playing together? But they fight very soon, and decide not to talk to each other. However, this usually doesn’t            for long. They become good friends again. This is an important       for us: we can solve a problem by learning to forget.
Many students often complain about school. They might feel they have too much work to do sometimes, or think the rules are too           . We must learn how to change these “problems” into “challenges”(挑战). As young adults, it is our duty       our best to deal with challenge with the help of our teachers.
By comparing yourself to other people, you will find your problems are not so       . Think about Stephen Hawking, for example, a very clever scientist. He can’t walk or even speak, but he regards his many physical problems as unimportant. Now he is known    a great scientist in the world.  We are probably quite healthy and smart. Let’s not worry about our problems. Let’s face the challenges instead.

It’s time for school! But on May 14^th, 170 students at Duncanville High School in Texas, US, were told to go back home.
Why? Because they were wearing the wrong clothes to school.
Schools in the US don’t always ask students to wear uniforms. But they have dress codes(着装要求). For example, Duncanville High School tells students to wear belts, shirts without logos(标识).
Schools’ most-hated clothes are different.
In 2011, the saggy(松垮的) trousers law was passed in Florida. It stops students from wearing trousers that show body parts.
Now, “the favourite new target(目标) of the school dress code” is leggings(紧身裤), reported the Associated Press. Some schools don’t allow leggings. Other schools ask students to wear a shirt or a skirt over leggings.
Some students complain(抱怨) that schools are going too far. But schools say dress codes help protect students’ safety and make sure they grow up with good taste.
“We want to teach them that they must meet the expectations(期望) not only here in school, but also outside school,” said Andre Smith.
What happened to 170 students at Duncanville High School on May 14^th?

In Duncanville High School, students are allowed to wear       .

How long has the saggy trousers law been used in Florida

Some students complain that schools are going too far probably because       .

We can infer(推断) from the text that Andre Smith may be         .

Once there was a man travelling in a faraway village. As he was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped. He found that these huge elephants were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains(锁链), no cages. It was clear that the elephants could, at any time, break away from their ropes but for some reason, they did not.
He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and didn’t try to get away. “Well,” the trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they still believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can hold them, so they never try to break free.”
How could it be? These animals could at any time break free from their ropes. But because they were always stuck(固定) right where they were, they believed they couldn’t.
Just like the elephants, how many of us go through life believing that we cannot do something, just because we failed at it once before?
We should never give up the struggle(斗争) in life.
What did the writer see in the village？

Why do the elephants never try to break free from the ropes?

How did the man feel after he heard what the trainer said?

Which of the following is the missing part(空白处) in the last paragraph?

What is the best title for this text?

I never saw my father come home from work late or ill, nor did I ever see my father take a “night out with the boys”. He had no hobbies but just took care of his family.
For 22 years, since I left home for college , my father called me every Sunday at 9:00 am. He was always interested in my life----how my family was doing. The calls even came when he and my mother were in Australia, England or Florida.
Nine years ago when I bought my first house, my father, 67 years old, spent eight hours a day for three days, painting my house. He would not allow me to pay someone to have it done. All he asked, was a glass of iced tea, and that I hold a paintbrush for him and talk to him. But I was too busy, for I had a law practice to run, and I could not take the time to hold the paintbrush, or talk to my father.
Five years ago, my 71-year-old father spent five hours putting together a swing set(秋千) for my daughter. Again, all he asked was that I get him a glass of iced tea, and talk to him. But again, I had laundry to do, and the house to clean.
The morning on Sunday, January 16, 1996, my father telephoned me as usual, this time he had seemed to have forgotten some things we had discussed the week before. I had to get to church, and I cut the conversation short.
The call came at 4:40 am. That day my father was sent to hospital in Florida. I got on a plane immediately, and I vowed(发誓) that when I arrived, I would make up for the lost time, and have a nice long talk with him and really get to know him.
I arrived in Florida at 1:00 am, but my father had died at 9:12 pm. This time it was he who did not have time to talk, time to wait for me.
In the years since his death I have learnt much about my father, and even more about myself. As a father, he never asked me for anything but my time. Now he has all my attention, every single day.
We know from the reading that the father        .

When her father painted her first house, the daughter       .

On January 16, 1996, the daughter felt that her father       .

In the reading the underlined phrase “get to know him” most probably means          .

Which is the best title of the reading?.
