I used to work in an office, which had a Iocust tree growing outside the window. It had grown into a tall tree and must have been there for a long time.

When the first spring came, everything was green except the locust tree.I felt very happy because I had thought it had died!
One morning, when I opened the window for some fresh air, I unexpectedly smelt a familiar sweet scent floating into my office which I could not name. Suddenly,I realized it was the locust tree!The tree that I thought dead was in full bloom!
From then on, I usually came to the office very early to see dew forming on the locust tree blossoms, and was eager to see spring again every year.

Its beauty touched my soul. Many times, I thought to take photos but never did. Then, I had to leave in a hurry. Later in life, it became a great regret that I had not done so.

l like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We don't always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.
No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don't get along well, which doesn't mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away, then we feel very sad. We miss them much, but we can call them and write to them. Maybe we would never see them again, and we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in a town. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.
There's more good news for people, if they have friends. These people live longer than those people if those don't have friends. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares, if someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.

Advertisers tend to think big and perhaps this is why they’re always coming in for criticism. Their critics seem to offend them because they have a talent for self-promotion and because they have so much money to throw around. ‘It’s unfair,’ they say, ‘that this entirely unproductive industry (if we can call it that) should absorb millions of pounds each year. It only goes to show how much profit the big companies are making. Why don’t they stop advertising and reduce the price of their goods? After all, it’s the consumer who pays…’
The poor old consumer! He’d have to pay a great deal more if advertising didn’t create mass markets for products. It is precisely because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap. But we get the wrong idea if we think the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods. Another equally important function is to inform. A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods comes largely from the advertisements we read. Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already know about. Supposing you wanted to buy a washing machine, it is more than likely you would obtain details regarding performance, price, etc., from an advertisement.
Lots of people pretend that they never read advertisements, but this claim may be seriously doubted. It is hardly possible not to read advertisements these days. And what fun they often are, too! Just think what a railway station or a newspaper would be like without advertisements. Would you enjoy gazing at a blank wall or reading railway rules while waiting for a train? Would you like to read only closely printed columns of news in your daily paper? A cheerful, witty advertisement makes such a difference to a dull wall or a newspaper full of disasters.
We must not forget, either, that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets. Newspapers, commercial radio and television companies could not survive without this source of revenue(收益). The fact that we pay so little for our daily paper, or can enjoy so many broadcast programmes is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers. Just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price!
Another thing we mustn’t forget is the ‘small ads.’ which are in virtually every newspaper and magazine. What a greatly useful service they perform for the community! Just about anything can be accomplished through these columns. For instance, you can find a job, buy or sell a house, announce a birth, marriage or death in what used to be called the ‘hatch, match and dispatch’ column but by far the most fascinating section is the personal or ‘a(chǎn)gony’ column(讀者來信專欄). No other item in a newspaper provides such entertaining reading or offers such a deep insight into human nature. It’s the best advertisement for advertising there is!

WASHINGTON(Reuters)-People who drink two or more sweetened soft drinks a week have a much higher risk of pancreatic cancer(胰腺癌),an unusual but deadly cancer,researchers reported on Monday.
People who drank mostly fruit juice instead of sodas did not have the same risk,the study
of 60,000 people in Singapore found.
Sugar may be to blame but people who drink sweetened sodas regularly often have other
poor health habits,said Mark Pereira of the University of Minnesota,who led the study.
“The high levels of sugar in soft drinks may be increasing the level of insulin(胰島素)in The body,which we think contributes to pancreatic cancer cell growth,”Pereira said in a statement.
Writing in the joumal Cancer Epidemiology,Biomarkers & Prevention,Pereira and colleagues
said they followed 60,524 men and women in the Singapore Chinese Health Study for l4 years.
Over that time,140 of the volunteers developed pancreatic cancer.Those who drank two or
more sweetened soft drinks a week had an 87 percent higher risk of being among those who got
pancreatic cancer.
Pereira said he believed the fndings would apply elsewhere。
“Singapore is a wcahhy country with excellent heahhcare.Favorite pastimes(消遣)are
eating and shopping,so the findings should apply to other western countries,”he said.
But Susan Mayne of the Yale Cancer Center at Yale University in Connecticut was cautious.
“Although this study found a risk,the finding was based on a relatively small number of
cases and it remains unclear whether it is a causal(因果的)connection or not!眘aid Mayne.
who serves on the board of the journal,which is published by the American Association for
Cancer Research.
Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest forms of cancer,with 230,000 cases globally.In
the United States,37,680 people are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in a year and 34,290 die
of it.
4 1.According to the text,who is in control of the health study?
A.Mark Pereira. B.Scientists from Singapore.
C.Researchers in Yale. D.Susan Mayne.
42.We can infer from Pereira,s words that__.
A.the heahhcare in Singapore should be greatly improved
B.2 soft drinks a day are considered harmful to health
C.87 out of l40 volunteers developed pancreatic cancer
D.sugar might not be the only cause of pancreatic cancer
43.How does Susan seem to feel about the findings of the study?
A.Satisfied. B.Doubtful. C.Worried. D.Hopeful.
44.The best title of the text might be________.
A.The Deadliest Forms of Cancer B.Drink Fruit Juice Instead of Sodas
C.A Study in University of Minnesota D.Sugary Soft Drinks Lead to Cancer
