阅读下面的短文,然后根据短文内容回答问题。   Once upon a time there lived a poor farmer called Smith. He didn"t like to share things with others. Smith had
a friend who was famous for the wonderful apples he grew.
    One day, his friend gave Smith a young apple tree and told him to take it home and planted. The farmer was
pleased with the gift, but when he got home, he did not know where to plant.
   He thought and thought. Finally at night he planted the tree in his wood where no one could see it. But without
sunlight and good soil, the tree soon died.
   Later the friend asked the farmer why he had planted the tree in such a poor place.
   "What"s the difference?" the farmer said angrily."If I had planted it near the road, strangers would have stolen
the fruit. If I had planted it in one of my fields, my neighbors would have come at night and stolen some of the
apples. If I had planted it near my house, my own children would have taken the fruit,"
   "Yes," said the friend,"but at least someone could have enjoyed the fruit. Now you not only have got nothing,
but also you have destroyed a good apple tree." 1. Was Smith happy about the gift?

    It was the yearbook day and we were given an hour to sign each other"s year-books in the cafeteria. I was 
president of the class and I played sports. When I sat down at a table, people started to come over to get their 
yearbooks signed and to sign    1    .      
    Among them,a weak boy with ugly teeth and thick glasses kept shaking. I had  seen him around, and I 
knew he was always laughed at. He seemed    2   of himself, and was so pale that it    3   us to look at 
him.        .        
    He came up and asked me nervously," Can you sign this?" I took his yearbook  but I didn"t know   4    to 
write.  I saw that there was the name " Ricky Sanders" written on the front of it.  So I wrote:

    I put down the yearbook and tumed around to get some signatures from some of my friends when I    5  
my yearbook was gone.  I saw that Ricky had sat down with my yearbook. "What are you doing?" I asked 
him.  He looked up calmly (平静地) and     6    said "Sign!"        
    My friends broke into a loud laugh, and I saw that he was carefully trying to put  a signature in my 
yearbook.  He hadn"t even finished the "R" yet.  I thought for awhile and     7    to let him sign.       
     It took him nearly five minutes to sign and when I got my yearbook back, there  was a very shaky 
"RICKY". He hugged (紧抱) his yearbook and        8   .  I couldn"thelp but smile back at him.     
     In that moment, my       9    changed completely.       
     I gave him a high five and suddenly everyone at my table wanted his signature. He was asked politely to 
write in their yearbooks and the signature    10      of his yearbook were filled up.  He was smiling so big that 
it lit up the whole room.       
     I changed schools the next year,and I never saw Ricky again. However, I will never forget the day that he 
became the most     11    guy in school.  Whenever I"m       12   , I still look back at that yearbook.

     A funny thing happened to my sister Tina last month. She lives in Japan and teaches English. In Japan,

     One night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, a distance of eighty miles. I was late so I drove
very   1   . Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road, and I was shouting and
  2   the steering wheel(方向盘)with impatience.
    At one point along an open highway , I came to a crossroads with a traffic light. I was alone on the road,
but as I got   3   the light, it turned red and I stopped. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car,
no   4   of headlights, but there I sat, waiting for the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile
in any    5  .
     I started wondering why I refused to run the red light. There was obviously no policeman around, and it
certainly would not have been    6   in going through it.
     Later that night, after I had climbed into bed, the question of why I stopped for that light   7   back to me.
I did so because it"s part of a contract (协议) we all have with each other. It"s not only the law, but an
agreement we have, and we trust each other to  8   it.
     It"s   9   that we ever trust each other to do the right things. It"s a good thing because the whole structure
of our society depends on trust. This whole thing we have going for us would fall apart if we didn"t trust each
other most of the time. We do   10   we say we"ll do; and we pay when we say we"ll pay. We trust each other
in these matters, and when we don"t do what we"ve   11 , others will be angry or disappointed with us because
we violate(亵渎) the  12  they have in us. I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night!
