Once upon a time there lived a poor farmer called Smith. He didn't like to share things with others. Smith had a friend who was famous for the wonderful apples he grew.
One day, his friend gave Smith a young apple tree and told him to take it home and planted. The farmer was pleased with the gift, but when he got home, he did not know where to plant
He thought and thought. Finally at night he planted the tree in his wood where no one could see it. But without sunlight and good soil, the tree soon died.
Later the friend asked the farmer why he had planted the tree in such a poor place.
"What's the difference?" the farmer said angrily. "If I had planted it near the road, strangers would have stolen the fruit. If I had planted it in one of my fields, my neighbors would have come at night and stolen some of the apples. If I had planted it near my house, my own children would have taken the fruit,"
"Yes," said the friend, "but at least someone could have enjoyed the fruit. Now you not only have got nothing, but also you have destroyed a good apple tree."
小題1:Was Smith happy about the gift?
小題2:When did he plant the apple tree?
小題3:Where did Smith plant the apple tree in the end?
小題4: Why did the apple tree soon die?
小題5: What would probably happen if the farmer had planted the tree near his house?

小題1:Yes, he is.
小題1:At night.
小題1:In his wood.
小題1:Because there was no sunlight or good soil.
小題1:His own children would have taken the fruit
【主旨大意】自私的史密斯不喜歡跟別人分享東西。有一天，他的朋友給了他一棵蘋果樹讓他回家種上。史密斯擔心別人會偷走，想啊想啊，最后決定在晚上的時候把樹種在他的小樹林里，這樣別人就看不到了。由于沒有陽光，土質(zhì)也不好，小樹很快就死了。后來朋友問起緣由時，他反而非常生氣，振振有詞說出自己堂而皇之的理由。

You may have known several kinds of police, traffic police and street police. But have you ever heard of energysaving (節(jié)能) policemen?
A group of 22 of these new policemen went to work last week in Beijing. They go around the city to see the use of energy in hotels, office buildings, shopping centers and other public places. One of their aims is to make sure that these places have set their air conditioning (空調(diào)) no cooler than 26℃.
“If everyone sets their air conditioning at 26℃, Beijing will save 400 million kilowatt-hours of electricity in one summer,” said a TV advertisement.
At the beginning of this month, China made its first action plan to fight pollution. It aims to reduce energy usage by 20% and increase renewable (可再生的) energy up to 10% from 7% by 2011.
To introduce the public to a green life, last week Beijing held a show on energy-saving technology and products.
“We want to tell people that there are certain ways to protect the environment. Each of us can find effective ways to do it in our daily life,” said Liu Qianguang, an environmental engineer in Beijing.

Note-taking is a skill that can help you do well in all your schoolwork. It can make you confident when you are studying. But unluckily, most students don’t know how to take notes.
If your teacher writes notes on the blackboard, that’s great. You can copy them or write down the most important facts of all in class. Different teachers do things differently. For example, some teachers may focus on(關(guān)注) lots of dates and facts in class, but they only write the important ones on the blackboard. Other teachers may not write anything down, but they may repeat them.
Don’t try to write down every word in class, or you might miss some important points. Some students really learn better with the help of these notes.
Don’t be afraid to ask your teacher to repeat what you’re missed. If your teacher speaks too fast and you can’t follow what he is saying, you can ask him after class.
Comparing(對比) your notes with your classmates’ can be good for your learning. It can also help you and your classmates correct some mistakes.
Note-taking also needs organization. Keep notes for each subject in one place, so that you can find everything easily when a test comes.
Good note-taking takes time. If you decide to recopy your notes every evening, you’ll surely have less time to watch TV. But you’ll save time in the coming test.
根據(jù)上面短文內(nèi)容填空。
小題1:Note-taking can help you ________ all your schoolwork and _______ when you are studying.
小題2:Different teachers do things differently. Some of them like to tell their students many dates and facts but they only ______ on the blackboard; others may repeat them instead of _________.
