To find out who had written on the step, Father gave us each a piece of paper and a pencil. “I want each of you to write exactly what you see on the step.”I tried my best to write the wo rds differently. I didn’t want D ad to be able to tell it was me.He gathered up our pieces of paper and looked at them. “Since none of you will admit（承认）to have done it, then I will punish（惩罚）you all.” I stood there and said nothing. The last thing I wanted was for Dad to punish me!“I did it.” My sister walked forward and said she had done something she hadn’t. She was punished for a month.We didn’t talk about that day for many years. Not until we were all older and I knew it was safe to finally tell my dad it was really me.

They kill many plants and animals in an eco-system, which is a group of living things and their environment. But have you ever heard of a forest fire that can be ___1___ for a forest?People start some of the fires with a special reason to actually do good to the eco-system.In fact, fires are a natural part of any eco-system. Without fires, the oldest and largest trees would stop sunlight from reaching the forest floor. Fires can ___2___ some of these old trees. When the trees die, they provide something good for the earth. New trees can grow strong and healthy in their place.Some trees even need fires to grow. These trees hold their seeds (种子) inside. Heat from a fire allows the coat of the seeds to open up. Then the seeds fall to the ground and have the chance to grow.Scientist, who know about nature’s ne eds, start some of these fires, called controlled burns（控制性火烧）. A fire is started and kept under control. This way, the fire does not spread out of the area or ___3___ a large space of the forest.“Fires can be dangerous for animals. Even when animals continue to live after forest fires, they can go hungry ___4___ their food has been damaged in the fire. Small, controlled fires mean that animals will not have to move far to find food. After some time, small plants begin to grow. Animals return soon after the plants return. This ___5___ makes an eco-system.So the next time you hear about a forest fire, think about the good as well as the bad. It may take a new eco-system a while to return, but it will likely come back stronger and healthier than ever.1. A. helpful B. powerful C. harmful D. awful2.

The answer will most probably be the TV! Young people would certainly choose the TV, but you will be surprised to find out that the older o___1___ will at least hesitate（犹豫）about choosing it. Why is this? Are the books not as interesting as they used to be? Is it that the world has changed so much in recent years that our habits are not the same anymore?Nowadays many people have no interest in literature（文学）. This may be a possible explanation（解释）. Another reason might be the c___2___ of lifestyle. We are more likely to visit a club or a bar to relax ourselves after a l ong day’s work, rather than read a book in the comfort of our own homes. People are more outgoing than they used to be. All the stress（压力）of work makes us w ___3___ a quick relaxing way. Perhaps, most of us do not have the patience to read anymore. It is much simpler to turn on the TV and watch the latest n___4___ around the world than 19th century literature!With all the TV programs, every one of us can find an interesting show or movie to watch. What’s better than getting into b___5___ with the remote control（遥控器）and falling asleep whenever you wish? You are the master of all the TV programs. The only disadvantage is that TV will never provide you with all the facts that a book can do. TV is much more superficial（肤浅的）than books, even if it does get you relaxed in just a moment!D. Read the passage and answer the following questions.One of my patients, a successful businessman, tells me that before he fell ill he wasn’t happy. Happiness was “having the cookie”. Only if you had the cookie could thing s be good. Unluckily, the cookie kept changing. Some of the time it was money, sometimes power, sometimes fancy things.A year and a half after his diagnosis(诊断)of cancer(癌症), he sits in my office shaking his head. “It’s like I stopped learning how to live after I was a kid. When I give my son a cookie, he is happy. If I take the cookie away or it breaks, he is unhappy. But he is 2 years old and I am 43. It’s taken me this long to understand that the cookie will never make me happy for long,” he says.“The minute you have the cookie, it starts to crumble（碎裂）or you start to worry about someone trying to take it away from you.”My patient laughs and says cancer has changed him. For the first time he is happy. No matter if his business is doing well o r not, no matter if he wins or loses at golf. “Two years ago, cancer asked me: ‘What is really important?’ Well, life is important -- life with the cookie, life without the cookie. Happiness doesn’t have anything to do with the cookie; it has to do with being alive. Before, who made the time?”he pauses(暂停) thoughtfully. “I guess life is the cookie.”1. How did the patient feel before he was ill?2. Cookies can never make people happy for long, can they?3. What changed the patient’s ideas about life for the first time?4. What does“cookies”stand for in the passage?5. What does the patient finally think is his cookie? Why?。
