To Pull up the Seedlings to Help Them Grow
Once upon a time, an old farmer planted a plot of rice. Everyday he
went to the field to watch the seedlings grow. He saw the young shoots
break through the soil and grow taller each day. But still, he thought
they were growing too slowly. He got impatient with the young plants.
"How could the plants grow faster?" He tossed in bed during the night and
could not sleep. Suddenly he hit upon an idea. He had an idea not wait
for daybreak. He jumped out of the bed and dashed to the field. By the
moonlight, he began working on the rice seedlings. One by one, he pulled
up the young plants by half an inch. When he finished pulling, it was
already morning. Straightening his back, he said to himself, "What a
wonderful idea! Look, how much taller the plants have grown one nigt!"
With great satisfaction, he went back home. He told his son what he had
done in a triumphant tone. His son was shocked. Now the sun had risen.
The young man was heart-broken to see all the pulled-up young plants
dying.
People now use " Ba Miao Zhu Zhang" to describe the behavior of those
who are too eager to get something done only to make it worse. The idiom
is a bit like the English proverb "Haste makes waste" ------to spoil
things by excessive enthusiasm.


拨苗助长


从前，有个农夫，种了稻苗后，便希望能早早收成。每天他到稻田时，发觉那些稻

苗长得非常慢。

他等得不耐烦，心想：“怎么样才能使稻苗长得高，长很快呢?

想了又想，他终了想到一个“最佳方法”，就是将稻苗拨高几分。

经过一番辛劳后，他满意地扛锄头回家休息。心想：明天稻苗长得一定更高了。

隔天早晨．一早起身，他迫不及待地起去稻田看他的“成果”。

哪知，他跑到稻田时，却看到所有的稻苗都枯萎了。
Although more of an investment guru than a management guru, Warren Buffett (born 1930) made his billions (and became the

second richest man in the world after Bill Gates) from the success of the companies held by his investment vehicle, Berkshire

Hathaway, a publicly quoted company. He has described the extent of his involvement in these companies as being limited to

the allocation of capital and people. “Charles T. Munger, Berkshire Hathaway’s vice-chairman, and I really have only two

jobs,” he once said (Charles T. Munger being his long-time closest associate). “One is to attract and keep outstanding

managers to run our various operations. The other is capital allocation.” That includes setting the compensation of the

chief executive.

Buffett is known as “the Sage of Omaha”, after the town where he was born and where he has spent most of his life, and much

is made of his small-town homespun values. He likes to play the ukulele and he plays bridge (with Bill Gates, among others)

in his modest home in Omaha. His one conceit is a corporate jet, but that is second-hand and named “The Indefensible”.

Buffett, however, is not really the small-town boy made good. His father, Howard Buffett, was a stockbroker who won a seat in

Congress when Warren was a boy, and the family moved to Washington, DC, for a while. Then Buffett went to the Wharton School

in Philadelphia, the top business school in the United States for finance and for those heading for the higher reaches of

Wall Street. He left before he completed his course, but finished his studies at New York’s almost equally prestigious

Columbia Business School. From there, in 1951, he started to make his living from investing on the stockmarket, and was

greatly influenced by Ben Graham, who wrote a classic book on investment, “Security Analysis” (1934), and had been his

tutor at Columbia.

Buffett famously avoided the high-tech sector during the turn-of-the-century dotcom boom and bust, but in recent years he has

suffered from a high involvement with the less-than-stellar insurance industry. Berkshire Hathaway’s annual report contains

a closely observed “letter to shareholders”, written by Buffett, which is a mixture of homespun wisdom and market savvy.

The company’s annual meeting is held in the Q-West centre in downtown Omaha and is attended by as many as 20,000 investors

from all over the world. “We have embraced the 21st century,” wrote Buffett in one of his letters, “by entering such

cutting-edge industries as bricks, carpets, insulation and paint—try to control your excitement.”

In June 2006 he gave Berkshire Hathaway shares worth over $30 billion to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the biggest

single charitable donation in history.

An apple tree

A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it every day. He climbed to the tree top, ate the apples, took a nap under the shadow ... 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 layed 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 am no longer a kid, I don't play around trees anymore." The boy replied, "I want toys. I need money to buy them." "Sorry, but I don't have money ... but you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money." The boy was so excited. He grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy never came back after he picked the apples. The tree was sad.
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 me?"
"Sorry, but I don't have a house. But you can chop off my branches to build your house." So the boy cut all the branches of 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 delighted. "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 anymore. No more apples for you ..."The tree said. "I don't have teeth to bite," the boy replied. "No more trunk for you to climb on." "I am too old for that now," the boy said. "I really can t give you anything ... the only thing left is my dying roots," the tree said with tears. "I don't need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years," the boy replied. "Good! Old tree roots is the best place to lean on and rest. Come sit down with me and rest." The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears ...
This is a story of everyone. The tree is our parent. When we were young, we loved to play with Mom and Dad ...When we grew up, we leave them ... only come to them when we need something or when we are in trouble. No matter what, parents will always be there and give erything they can to make you happy. You may think the boy is cruel to the tree but that s how all of us are treating our parents. Please be nlightened by this story and love your parents!

Dear Aunt Aggie,

It may take time for her to be able to forgive you, but that's up to her. Then you might want to do something nice for her. Perhaps send her some flowers to show that you're truly sorry. Also, you should remember that old saying:" If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." And good luck! Aggie

Food is life; it gives us the nourishment (营养) we need to stay alive and be healthy. Usually, we eat because we are hungry or need energy. Brian Wansink, a professor (教授) at the University of Illinois, says we also eat certain (某种) foods because they make us feel good, and remind us of happy memories. Wansink calls this kind of food comfort food. For some people, ice cream is a comfort food. For others, a bowl of noodles makes them feel good.

How does a food became comfort food? Professor Wansink believes that we connect food with important times, feelings, and people in our lives, 'When I was a child, my mother made a delicious soup; I loved it. Now, I often eat this soup when I am tired or worried, and it helps me feel better,' says one of Wansink's friends.

Do men and women choose different comfort foods? Wansink's research (研究) at the University of Illinois says 'yes'. In his study, the favourite comfort for both men and women was ice cream. After this, men usually preferred hot, delicious foods like soup or noodles. Women liked sweet things such as chocolate and candies. Men and women like to eat comfort foods when they are happy, but women eat these foods more when they are sad or worried.
44. According to the passage, a kind of food that makes us feel good is called ________.
A. fast food B. healthy food C. Chinese food D. comfort food
45. In Wansink's study, both men and women like to eat ________.
A. soup B. ice cream C. noodles D. chocolates
46. The passage implies (暗示) that ________.
A. men probably eat more comfort foods than women
B. women usually eat comfort foods only when they are happy
C. men usually eat comfort foods when they are sad
D. women probably eat comfort foods more often than men

Is your family interested in buying a dog? A dog can be a good friend to your family, but if you choose the wrong kind of dog, it can cause you a lot of trouble.
Family should sit down and discuss the problems before buying a dog. Even if the children in your family are the ones who want the dog, the parent are the ones who are really responsible (有责任的) for seeing that the animal is properly cared for. If you don't know much about dogs, it's a good idea to go to the library for books about different kinds of dogs, as well as books about how to train a young dog. Dogs of different kinds change in popularity as the years go by. One of the most popular dogs these days is the German shepherd (牧羊犬). This is because it provides protection. The family should be warned that these dogs grow up to be very big, and may be too powerful for children. If your house is not big, a toy dog may be a good choice (选择). These dogs are very small and easy to train. They don't need to be walked daily.

51. The writer suggests one can get information about the different kinds of dogs _______.

We have arrived in the hot, wet city of Bangkok. This is our first trip to Thailand(泰国). All the different smells make us want to try the food. We are going to eat something special for dinner tonight. The hotel we are staying in is cheap, and very clean. We plan to stay here for a few days, visit some places in the city, and then travel to Chiang Mai in the North.
Tuesday, March 27th
Bangkok is wonderful and surprising! The places are interesting. We visited the famous market which was on water, and saw a lot of fruits and vegetables. Everything is so colorful, and we have taken hundreds of photos already! Later today we will leave for Chiang Mai. We will take the train north, stay in Chiang Mai for two days, and then catch a bus to Chiang Rai.
Friday，March 30th
Our trip to Chiang Rai was long and boring. We visited a small village in the mountains. The village people here love the quiet life -- no computers or phones. They are the kindest people I have ever met. They always smile and say “hello”. Kathy and I can only speak a few words of Thai, so smiling is the best way to show our kindness. I feel good here and hope to be able to come back next year.
