In the early 1970s，Wheeler met a young woman named Maureen. They soon married. Before getting jobs， Tony and Maureen wanted to travel. They took a year-long trip from London，through Asia，to Australia. On the trip，they visited places like India， Iran， and Afghanistan.
When Tony and Maureen arrived in Australia，people asked many questions about their trip. To answer these questions，Wheeler wrote a guidebook called Across Asia on the Cheap .

举一反三
Once there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it every day. He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.
Time went by --- the little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree every day. One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad. “Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy. “I’m no longer a kid. I wouldn’t play around the tree any more.” the boy replied. “I want toys. I need money to buy them.” “Sorry, I don’t have money. But you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money.” The boy picked all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy never came back after he picked the apples.
One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited, “Come and play with me,” the tree said. “I don’t have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help?” “Sorry, I don’t have a house. But you can cut off my branches to build your house.” So the boy cut all the branches off the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy never came back since then. The tree was again lonely and sad.
One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was pleased. “Come and play with me!” the tree said. “I am sad and getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?” “Use my trunk to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy.” So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time.
Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. “Sorry, my boy. But I don’t have anything for you any more. The only thing left is my dying root,” the tree said with tears ①
“Good! Old tree root is the best place to lean on and rest. Come and sit down with me and rest.” The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears ② ----
小题1:---Why did the boy pick all the apples on the tree?
----Because __________.
| A．he wanted to eat them | B．he needed money to buy toys |
| C．he liked the tree without apples | D．he wanted to share them with friends. |

| C．the root of the apple tree | D．anything that the apple tree had |
----We should _________.
| A．plant more apple trees | B．learn from the boy |
| C．always stay at home | D．be thankful to our parents |
| A．The phrase “with tears ①” means that the apple tree was sad because the boy asked for too much. |
| B．The phrase “with tears ②” means that the apple tree was still happy because she could help the boy for the last time. |
| C．Each time the boy asked the apple tree for help, the tree tried her best to satisfy him. |
| D．After reading the passage, we can easily think of the old Chinese saying “Parents’ love is universal!” |
The famous scientist and thinker, Charles Darwin, was born on February 12, 1809. His family lived not far from the River Severn, England.
Charles’ father was a well-known doctor and the son of a still greater doctor and scientist. Charles’ father hoped that his son would also become a doctor.
As a boy Charles liked to go for walks in the fields and forests. He watched nature and compared what he saw with everything he had read in science books. He also liked collecting very much. He collected many things: eggs, stones, and leaves. His father did not like this, as Charles was not studying very well at school.
①为了成为一名医生，十六岁时达尔文就被送到爱丁堡大学(Edinburgh University) 学习。But he was interested in the history of nature.
Then he studied at Cambridge University until 1831.
Some time later, he heard that the ship Beagle was going on a trip to South America and wanted a scientist. His professor advised him to go. He said the trip would be just for Darwin. So when the ship left England in December 1831, Darwin was on it. The research lasted almost five years. The Beagle studied the waters in the sea near South America. It also visited New Zealand, Australia and islands in the Pacific. Darwin saw many new plants and animals. He collected all kinds of plants, which he sent home from the places he visited.
When he returned home, Darwin was warmly greeted by his families and many friends.
In 1842, Darwin went to live in Kent, where he continued his studies of the changes in nature. ②Darwin understood that plants and animals are not always the same, and that they really change.
By 1859, Darwin had finished his famous book The Origin of Species. It made a great hit in the world of science. ③He was opposed (反对) by the church and even by some scientists. But later, more and more scientists agreed with him.
Darwin continued his studies in science until he died in 1882.

“Good morning, Mrs. Crow.”says the fox,“How are you?”But the crow doesn’t say a word. “You have very nice babies, Mrs. Crow.”says the fox,“How are they? May I see them ?”Still the crow doesn’t say a word.
“You are very beautiful, Mrs. Crow, and you have a beautiful voice（嗓子）,too.”says the fox,“Would you please sing a song for me? ”Mrs. Crow thinks“How nice Mr. Fox is! I must sing him a song.”So she opens her mouth and begins to sing. At that time, the meat drops down（掉下）from her mouth.

Work hours are different from one country to another. In France, people spend about 1,646 hours a year at work. In Japan, however, people work about 2,159 hours a year. That means a Japanese worker works 513 more hours a year than a French worker.
Why do people work so many hours? Some people work extra hours because they want to make more money. However, many companies don"t pay overtime. Their workers don"t get more pay for more work. Some people think it"s their duty to work more hours. Some are afraid of losing their jobs if they don"t work more hours.
Many people say that their vacations are too short. In France, people get five weeks of paid vacation a year. In Germany, they get four to six weeks, and in the United States, two weeks. One study shows fewer than half of workers used all their vacation days. In Great Britain, there is a saying, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull (迟钝的) boy." If that is true, there must be a lot of dull people in the world.
