Reading anything is 31 but reading good books is a terrific way to improve your English. Good writers write English very well and 32 you with good examples to follow. And good books will tell you more about English 33 : what people think, how they talk, how they interact with each other. But don’t let me 34 it by telling you that reading is good for you. Just think of it as a good way to 35 on a cold winter evening.

Part Four: Writing
Section A (10 points)
Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information for the passage.
The art of growing dwarf （short） trees， or “bonsai” as their Japanese planters call them， is increasing in popularity in the United States. Growing bonsai can make a fascinating hobby for anyone who enjoys plants and creating beautiful effects with them. However， how can we meet the goal of making such a kind of art？ This maybe is the problem for many of us.
There are， in fact， four important guidelines to follow in growing bonsai. First， one must be careful in choosing the type of tree. Not all species of trees can be made into bonsai， since the growing conditions are unusual.
Second， one must be careful in choosing the size of the container the bonsai will be in. This is necessary because the major growth of bonsai is kept confined to the tree’s trunk and leaves， not its root system.
Another thing the bonsai-grower must do is to trim （修整） the roots and branches of the tree periodically （定期地）。 Unless this is done， the plants will look unnatural. The Japanese ideal for bonsai is not to have the proper proportions and will have trees which are just like normal trees in everything， but in small size.
The last thing one must do is to be careful to keep the miniature （small） tree well-watered， or it will die.
As one can see from above， the art of bonsai-growing is one which requires a certain amount of time and effort. The satisfactions that growing bonsai brings can be great， however. Imagine having such a tree in your living room and passing it down through several generations of your family. That is exactly what bonsai-growing is all about： establishing a tradition of beauty which lasts for years and years and is a symbol of the beauties of the natural world.

A while ago my family and I went sledding(滑雪橇) and as I watched my children climbing up the slope I started thinking.
Many people are convinced that most of today’s 26 problems are because of the “me” generation. Youngsters are just out for themselves and pay no 27 to others or their needs. Indeed, a common belief is that today’s youngsters won’t do anything 28 there is something in it for them.
Yet, while sledding, I saw a 29 side. I watched my two oldest children (then five and four) take my youngest(then two years old)by the hand to help her up the slippery slope 30 they went up. They would have been 31 without her, but not once did they try to sneak （溜掉）by her without helping. And when the sled 32 my two daughters was aimed toward the edge, it was my five year old son who ran to them to 33 them from falling and hurting themselves.
These children sometimes 34 among themselves and, on occasion, behave horribly. But I can 35 them shopping and know that they won’t ask for anything, I can talk to them about tsunami or hurricane victims and know that they will offer to 36 some of their own money to the cause, and I can ask them to play with those children 37 on the sideline(作为旁观者) and know that they will befriend（照顾）them.
Perhaps, therefore, the “me” generation is to blame 38 much of society’s problems—not the youngsters who want everything, 39 the adults who have taught them to selfishly 40 only of themselves.
Most adults have been 41 at some time or another, sadly, many 42 that disappointment down to their children. Then the children learn to put themselves first!
Most young children want to help. We can 43 that feeling by teaching the lesson my children learned while sledding: Life is a slippery slope with 44 of bumps(撞伤) and bruises(擦伤), but we can all make it to the 45 if we remember to help those who need it.

That little example of true strength 43 my whole personal perception(理解) of life that day．Suddenly I wasn’t so 44 having to work a few extra hours on Saturdays．I had my 45 ，and I was still 46 young．
That picture of those two elderly people walking with dignity(尊严) and strength 47 me the entire week．My 48 wasn’t so bad after all．I had my health and a good job．I had a wonderful， 49 wife．I started to think—not only was I 50 to have these all, but so was that wonderful old couple，who，_51 the trials and sufferings of a long life，still had the love and support of each other to 52 them through this world．
There are so many people out there just like that couple．My wife and I sometimes 53 ourselves in our old age, walking arm in arm into the sunset. That image always gives us a 54 feeling．Just remember, none of us would be here if it wasn’t for our elders．We all should spend a little extra time and patience, 55 helping our elder friends．
