What do you think of a forest, what do you see? Just trees? Or do you see many other things, such as singing birds, colorful plants and wild flowers?
The forest is a whole of its own. It is full of many different living things. But even though they are all different, they have one thing in common: they all need each other in order to live on.
The trees feed the forest "people" by making food in their leaves; by using sunlight to join water and minerals from the soil and air. Their deep network of roots joins the soil together and stops it from dying out, making it possible for living things to live in it.
Human beings are like the living things in the forest. We need one another in order to live. We need the farmers to grow our food, railroad and truck drivers to bring it to our shops and clerks (售员)to sell it to us. We need people to prepare our food and cook it and others to take our waste things away. Then, of course, we need doctors, nurses, government leaders, mailmen, telephone operators, and many others.
We also need other human beings in another way. We need people for friendship, to talk over our problems, exchange ideas. Think how lonely and unhappy you would be if you lived all alone.
Life is a matter of giving and taking. We need to help other people as much as we need other people to help us. Think what a good feeling you have when you have done something for someone else. You know, being a volunteer is so great!According to the text, colorful plants and flowers live on______.

There was a man who had a little boy that he loved very much. Every day after work the man would come home and play with the little boy. He would always spend all of his free time playing with the little boy.
One night, while the man was at work, he realized that he had some work to do for the evening, and he couldn’t play with his little boy. But he wanted to give the boy something to keep him busy. Then he saw a magazine with a large map of the world on the cover.
He got an idea. He removed the map, and then tore (撕) it up into small pieces. Then he put all the pieces in his pocket. When he got home, the little boy was ready to play with his dad. The man said he had work to do and couldn't play just now, but he took out all the pieces of the map and spread (撒)them on the table. He said it was a map of the world, and by the time he could put it back together, his work would be finished, and they could then play.
About half an hour later the boy came to the man and said, "Okay, it's finished. Can we play now?"The man was surprised, saying, "That's impossible. Let's go see." And sure enough, there was the picture of the world; all put together, every piece in its place. The man said, "That's amazing! How did you do that?" The boy said, "It was simple. On the back of the page was a picture of a man. When I put the man together the whole world fell into place."How did the man always spend his free time after work?
Why wasn’t the man able to play with the boy one night?
What did the man tell his son to do before he went to work?
How much time did the boy spend putting the map of the world back together?
What do you think of the boy?（请自拟一句话回答）
A change to its population policy(人口政策）for the world's most populated country(人口最多的国家), that is where we start this new week on CNN (美国有线新闻网络，以提供即时电视新闻报导而闻名)STUDENT NEWS.
China introduced(提出） its so-called one-child policy(独生子女政策） in the late 1970s. It's been believed to help control China's population growth(控制人口增长). It's also been against for forcing(强迫) parents to make difficult personal choices(选择）, or in some cases（某些情况） face huge fines（面临巨额罚款).
The policy said that in big cities or towns, parents could only have one child, although（尽管) there were some exceptions(例外), for example, the famous director Zhang Yimou, who was ordered to pay the heavy fines for his three children.
The new rule(法规) says that if either parent(父母亲一方) is an only child, then they are able to have two children of their own.
One reason for the change is economics(经济).
In China, many people care for their elderly relatives, so a single(单个的) child could not afford (能做)to look after his parents and grandparents. This new policy could help with that.
Another reason, China says it wants to improve human rights(改善人权).Which may be the best title of the article?___________.
| A．The one-child policy | B．The population policy |
| C．The human rights | D．China's population growth |
Where can you get this news _______.
| A．on TV | B．from your books | C．from a magazine | D．in the newspaper |
Which of the following is not true?
| A．China is the world's most populated country. |
| B．The one-child policy did help control China's population growth. |
| C．All the families in big cities only have one child. |
| D．There is a change to China’s population policy. |
We can infer(推断）from the article that the next paragraph（段落) is about ___________.
| A．the population growth | B．the population policy |
| C．the economic change | D．the human rights |
