Some time ago, a man punished his 3-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper. Money was short and he became angry when the child tried to make a box. However, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, “This is for you, Daddy.”
The man was happy, but he became angry again when he found out the box was empty. He shouted at her, “Don’t you know, when you give someone a present, there should be something inside ” The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and cried, “Oh, Daddy, it’s not empty. I blew kisses into the box. They're all for you, Daddy.” The father was moved. He put his arms around his little girl, and he begged (恳求) for her forgiveness.

Yesterday, I read a report on fruit-picking robots. As I heard about the pricey robotic arms of these machines, I was filled with something like sadness. Our children and grandchildren, I’m afraid, will not be able to understand how our food is grown. Nor will they be able to experience the fun of fruit-picking.
I once spent a few weeks on a farm in New Zealand. There, I met about 50 apple-pickers from Vanuatu. At night, we listened to pop music and washed our clothes as they told me about their experiences of picking pineapples and peaches. Life on the farm was hard. The rooms were small and dark. There was nothing in them but a kettle(水壶) and a shower. However, the trip left me with many enjoyable memories.
When my son was little, I used to cycle him half an hour out of town to a farm every few weeks. There, we could pick strawberries. He loved it. He was excited about the smell of the plants, the feel of the soil and the art of guessing which piece of fruit had the potential to be the most delicious. And he saw where our fruit came from. I wanted him to understand the effort and energy during the process of producing food.
Doorstep deliveries and washed and sliced (切好的) salad vegetables have already started to destroy our understanding of how our food is grown and what it looks like. Robotic fruit-pickers, I fear, will be just another step in this direction. I’m afraid that we are making the whole act of eating a hands-off experience. Where is, then, the fun of it
( )9.What is the report in Paragraph 1 about
A.Robots used to pick fruit. B.The fun of growing food.
C.The cost of making robots. D.Children working on a farm.
( )10.How did the writer feel about the trip in New Zealand
A.Terrible. B.Unforgettable. C.Regretful. D.Painful.
( )11.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to
A.Cutting fruit. B.Smelling the soil.
C.Cycling in the town. D.Picking strawberries.
( )12.What is the structure of the passage
B. C. D.
D

In 1998, Wang Chengbang retired(退休)from the army. Instead of enjoying a relaxing life, he volunteered to save the soil from desertification(沙漠化)by planting trees in Korla(库尔勒), Xinjiang.
It is not an easy job. The high temperature in Korla makes it difficult for anyone to work day after day in the sunshine. Besides, lacking of water is a big problem. Actually, Wang Chengbang’s work in the first few years failed as very few trees survived(存活).
But Wang Chengbang would not give up. “After trying many different ways, I have learned how to grow young trees in a better way,” said Wang Chengbang. He also worked out new ways to save water. With his hard work, more and more trees have survived. So far, he has planted more than 1.5 million trees. Those green trees prevent desertification, make the air cleaner and protect people from the hot sun. Now, Korla is a model city in environmental protection.
Wang Chengbang is also successful in fighting cancer(癌症). In 2005, he had cancer and was told that he had only six months to live. However, he continued taking care of his trees instead of lying on the hospital bed. “Working is the best medicine. Planting trees helps to fight cancer,” he often jokes.
Now at the age of 85, Wang Chengbang is still working.
41. What makes it difficult to plant trees in Korla
42. How many trees has Wang Chengbang planted so far
43. Did Wang Chengbang continued taking care of his trees or lay on the hospital bed after he had cancer
44. Do you want to be a volunteer in your spare time Why or why not (write at least 30 words)
