Three friends wanted to sail around the world in a small yacht. They took food and water with them and set off. They traveled to many beautiful places, and were having a wonderful time. Until one day, when they had been at sea for about a month, a fierce storm blew up. Great waves sank their little yacht.

　　The three friends were able to struggle to the island, taking with them as much food as they could carry. Not a tree, not a bush, not a flower, grew on the island. There was not an animal of any kind, not even a bird or an insect. For a few weeks the three men were able to live on the food they had saved, but finally it was gone. There was only one piece of bread left. They decided that whoever had the best dream the next night could have the bread.

　　The next morning they took turns talking about their dreams. The first man said that he had dreamed he was in the world's most wonderful restaurant. He had eaten the finest meal of his life and drunk some of the finest wines. The second man said he had seen a magic carpet in his dream. Sitting on the carpet, he had traveled to all the wonderful places in the world and visited great kings and queens.

　　Then they turned to the third man. “Tell us your dream,”they said.

　　“My dream was very simple,”he said. “I dreamed that the bread was going bad and would soon be moldy. I didn't want to waste the bread, so as soon as I woke up I ate it.”

　　Trees are very useful to men in three important ways: they supply them with wood and other products; they give them shade; and they help to prevent drought and floods.

　　Unluckily, in many parts of the world, people have not realized the third of these services is the most important. In their eagerness to make money from trees, some people have cut trees down in large numbers, only to find that they have lost the best friends they had. And besides, they are usually too careless to plant and look after new trees, so the forests solely disappear.

　　This does not only mean that men will have fewer trees. The results are even more serious: where there are trees, their roots break up soil--allowing the rain to sink in--and also bind the soil, preventing it from being washed away easily; but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away, causing floods and carrying away the rich top--soil. When all the top--soil is gone, nothing stays but worthless desert.

Choose the best answer:

(1) The most important service of trees to men is that they ________.

[　　]

A．help them to make money

B．give them shade and cool

C．help them to prevent drought and floods

D．give them wood and other products

(2) In many places forests slowly disappear because ________.

[　　]

A．many trees have been cut down

B．new trees are not well looked after

C．men haven't planted enough trees

D．all of the above

(3) Land becomes desert after all trees are cut down because ________.

[　　]

A．tree roots break up the soil

B．the rich top--soil will be carried away by floods

C．of strong winds

D．there is too much rain

(4) Some people cut down a large number of trees because ________.

[　　]

A．they were eager to get wood from them

B．they were eager to make money from them

C．they didn't realize the importance of them

D．both B and C

(5) Which of the following is not true?

[　　]

A．Tree roots can make the top--soil rich and the ground hard.

B．Trees can prevent drought and floods.

C．Tree roots can break up soil.

D．Trees can make the rain sink into the ground.

　　If you ask some people.“How did you learn English so well?”You may get a surprising answer“In my sleep”.

　　These people have taken part in one of recent experiments to test“Learn-While-Sleep”ways. People are now trying these ways in several countries and with several subjects. English is one of them.

　　Specialists（專家）say that“sleep-study”way speeds language learning greatly. They say that the average person can learn two or three times as much during sleep as in the same period during the day and this does not effect his rest in any way. A word of warning: sleeping teaching will only strengthen（加強）in your mind what you have already studied while you are awake.

　　In an experiment, people gave lessons over the radio. Each lesson lasted twelve hours from 8 p. m to 8 a. m. People gave the students awake the first three hours of English grammar and vocabulary. At 11 p. m. people let the students listen to a lullaby（催眠曲）to sleep and for the next three hours the radio whispered the lesson again into the students' ears, At 2 a. m. people sent a sharp noise over the radio to wake the sleeping students up for a few minutes to review the lesson. The soft song sent the students back to rest again while the radio went on. At 5 a. m. their sleep was over and they had to go through the lesson again for three hours before breakfast.
