【題目】 Paul was a rich young man. When his father died, he left Paul a beautiful forest manor (莊園). Unfortunately, before Paul could sell it for a lot of money, a lightening strike (雷擊) caused a fire that destroyed it. Watching the beautiful green trees turned into ash (灰燼) overnight, Paul felt his heart break.

In order to bring back the forest manor’s beauty, Paul tried to borrow money from a bank. But the bank refused him, for the bank didn’t believe he’d pay it back. Then he felt too frustrated to eat or drink. So he hid in his room for days. His wife was worried about him and suggested he should take a break outside.

Paul went for a walk. When he turned the first corner, he saw a store with a huge crowd. It turned out that the housewives were lining up to buy charcoal (木炭) used for winter heating.

Then Paul’s eyes lit up. He ran home and hired some charcoal workers to process the forest’s burnt trees into charcoal.

Soon, he sold more than 1,000 boxes of charcoal. As soon as his charcoal went on the market, it sold out quickly.

The following year in the spring, he used the money to buy a large number of seedlings. After a few years, the forest manor that everyone thought had disappeared came to life again.

【題目】 Once, there was a little tree. One day, he looked around and saw the bigger trees. “They all look taller than me,” thought the little tree to himself. He thought it was the soil’s(土壤的)fault. So he lifted up his roots and moved over to the part of the garden which he thought had better soil.

A few weeks later the little tree looked up again. The other trees were growing and he was still no bigger. He blamed(責(zé)備) the lack of sunlight and moved to a sunnier place.

【題目】Answer the questions（根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答下列問(wèn)題）

Instead of studying abroad during college, more and more Chinese teenagers have chosen to do so as early as in high school. Students from China make up about 42 percent of the international students at high schools in the US, according to the latest study by the Institute of International Education. So, what is the main attraction for Chinese high school students to study abroad? What is overseas life like? We interviewed several students. Have a look!

Pan. 15. Moreau Catholic High School in San Francisco, California, US

In the future, I want to go to college in the US. Studying in high school here will help me get used to college life in the future. Also, I want to improve my English. Studying here is not easy. Instead of exams like in China, we have more projects in class. For example, we have to make a PPT about a historical figure and then design a creative item for that person, such as a painting.

Zhao. 15. Unionville High School in Toronto, Canada

For me, experience matters. It’s good to have the experience of living in another country. Unlike other international students, my parents accompanied me, which makes my life here much easier.

In Canada, I have more time to develop my interests. I can choose classes I like. However, taking the entrance examinations to high school and college at home would be great. It’s a shame that I have no chance to do that.

Zheng. 14. Walsh Jesuit High School in Cleveland, Ohio, US

I want to try different cultures and education styles. Two years ago, visited some famous universities in Boston, such as Harvard and MIT. The academic atmosphere(學(xué)術(shù)氛圍) deeply impressed me. Every student seems to spare no effort on academics. I saw students doing morning exercise everywhere and I watched a football game. I found that school life in the US was colourful. So I decided to study in the US.

【1】How many international students in American high schools are from China?

________________________________________________________________________

【2】Why does Pan choose to study in the high school in the US?

___________________________________________________________________

【3】According to Zhao, what is a shame for her?

________________________________________________________________________

【4】How did Zheng get to know about the studies of the US?

____________________________________________________________________________

【5】Among the three students, who gets the greatest help and support from her parents?

____________________________________________________________________________

【6】If you have a chance to study in a high school abroad, will you accept it? Explain with at least Two reasons.
