Nowadays, the destruction of forests is one of most serious environment problems. From that I understand, people are destroying thousands of square kilometers of trees every day. This is killing hundreds of wild animals live in the forests. But something must be done. Unfortunately, we don’t do everything to protect the forests.
People who cut down trees should go to prison. That’s what happens in some country to people who sell plastic bags. That’s what should happened to people who destroy the forests. I can’t help but to think that we must protect wildlife for future generations. Hopeful, our children will be even much responsible than we are today.

Are billionaires good with exams as well as their money? Or are they more likely to have escaped school at the first opportunity and worked their way up to make their fortunes?
A study of the educational background of some of the world’s wealthiest people shows that they are much more likely to have gone to university, and they are more likely to have a postgraduate degree(碩士或博士研究生學位) than no degree at all.
It doesn’t give much support for the image of self-taught entrepreneurs (企業(yè)家), who rely on their own wisdom rather than higher education.
The study, by insurance company GoCompare, examined the educational background of people appearing in the top 1 00 billionaire lists by Forbes magazine over the past 20 years.
It shows that 76 percent of these billionaires have a degree. Forty-seven percent of them have a bachelor’s (學士) degree, 23 percent a master’s (文/理科碩士) degree and 6 percent a doctorate(博士學位). The most popular subjects were the ones related to economics and engineering. There were many more studying sciences than arts.
The school attended by the global super rich are also much more likely to be world-class universities, rather than local ones. Harvard University is the single most likely name to be found on the resume(履歷) of a billionaire, though one of the most famous names on the rich list, Bill Gates, dropped out of Harvard before finishing.
Stanford University in California and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have become the launchpads for a rising number of tech billionaires. Google’s co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin were both postgraduates at Stanford. Borthers Charles and David Koch, who are among the world’s biggest oil tycoons, both got their bachelor’s and master’s degrees from MIT.
Among U.K. universities, the London School of Economics and Political Science and the University of Cambridge have the most multi-billionaires on the Forbes list, while Oxford has produced Rupert Murdoch.
1.The study has found all of the following EXCEPT .
A. most billionaires are not self-taught geniuses
B. billionaires are much more likely to have received higher education
C. nearly half of those on Forbes’ top 100 billionaire lists have a bachelor’s degree
D. there are more billionaires without degree at all than those with a master’s degree
2.Of the following subjects, what is the most likely to have been a college major of a billionaire?
A. Computer science. B. Art history.
C. English literature. D. Law.
3.What does the underlined word “launchpads” in Paragraph 7 mean?
A. Favorite places of famous people.
B. Effective starting points for a career.
C. Places on the Internet that help you find information.
D. Places where rockets and other spacecraft are sent into space.
4.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?
A. The study was carried out by Forbes magazine.
B. A high percentage of the world’s richest people have a doctorate.
C. Rupert Murdoch went to the London School of Economics and Political Science.
D. Harvard University has produced more billionaires on the Forbes list than any other university.

It’s easy to observe an athlete like Tiger Woods and feel like he’s from another planet. He has won 14 major tournament(錦標賽) titles and about $122 million in prize money and ads. He also has a happy family. It seems that he is too perfect to be one of us. But Woods has more in common with you than you might think.
Woods’ parents — particularly his father — set high expectations for him when he was a child. Before Earl Woods’ death in 2006, he told Golf magazine, “My purpose in raising Tiger was not to raise a golfer. I wanted to raise a good person.”
By age two, Woods was already swinging(揮舞) a golf club. But once he entered school, Woods’ father was careful to send the message that school work came first. Woods wasn’t allowed to practice until his homework was done.
When Woods finally reached the professional tour, his father continued to expect a lot of him. “Tiger will do more than any other man in history to change the course of human. The world is just getting a taste of his power,” he said in 1996. Clearly, Earl Woods had great expectations of his son.
In this way, Tiger Woods is actually like a lot of us. Many of us feel a similar pressure to make our parents proud. When this happens, it’s easy to let that pressure overwhelm(壓倒) us.
In a perfect world, we would all grow up to be Tiger Woods-like successes in our own fields. But that isn’t possible. There are many things that we can’t control in this life, despite our best efforts.
There is, however, one thing that we can do: we can try to be a “good person”, as Earl Woods asked his son to do.
1.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. The number of tournament titles Tiger Woods has won.
B. The family members of Tiger Woods.
C. The money Tiger Woods has made in prize money and ads.
D. The impression that Tiger Woods leaves on us.
2.According to the passage, which of the following statements about Tiger Woods is TRUE?
A. Tiger Woods is too perfect to be one of us.
B. Tiger Woods wasn’t allowed to play golf after class.
C. Tiger Woods did very well in golf as a child.
D. Tiger Woods didn’t like playing golf when he was a child.
3.We can learn from the passage that Tiger Woods is under pressure to ____ just like many of us.
A. get high marks in the exam B. make his parents proud
C. change the course of human D. try to be a good person
4.We can infer from the passage that ______.
A. Tiger Woods has a happy family
B. Tiger Woods’ mother didn’t set high expectations for him
C. Tiger Woods has changed the course of human
D. Tiger Woods’ father plays an important role on his road to success

Volunteering Is Fun
One afternoon I was sitting at home feeling so bored. Instead of feeling sorry for myself, I wanted to meet people and have new experiences so I decided to start volunteering. I searched on my computer and found a website where I could volunteer on a farm in France.
My time working on a farm was a new experience for me. It was basically a free holiday as food and accommodation were provided. However, it was not your typical holiday as I had to look after fifteen horses and sleep at the top of a tower in a castle! I was an awful farmer but it did not matter because I made some great friends.
However, you do not need to go abroad to volunteer. I have had plenty of adventures at home as volunteering can become a hobby. For example, I love singing so I had a good laugh waving my arms in an attempt to conduct my local choir. I did slowly improve and it felt great to conduct the choir in a concert. At university, I organised a concert for charity with my friends. It was really fun finding hands and raising money for a cause we believe in.
It is true that you feel good volunteering but there are also other advantages. I once vol-unteered as a server at a charity sports event where the organizers gave me cupcakes to thank me for my services. I also volunteered in a charity shop so I found loads of nice cheap clothes to update my wardrobe (衣柜).
While this is all fun, my favourite aspect of volunteering is creating and sharing stories. My terrible attempts at farming have given me hilarious stories to tell! Talking to volunteers from different countries and backgrounds has also helped me learn more about the world. I feel thankful to have had so much fun with many nice people thanks to volunteering.
1.Why did the author want to be a volunteer?

2.The underlined word “hilarious” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “ ” .

“Regardless of social class, race and age, men say they hate to shop,” says Zukin, City University of New York sociology professor. “Yet when you ask them deeper questions, it turns out that they like to shop. Men generally like to shop for books, music and hardware. But if you ask them about the shopping they do for books or music, they'll say, ‘Well, that's not shopping. That's research.’”
In other words, what men and women call “buying things” and how they approach that task are different.
Women will wander through several 1,000?square?metre stores in search of the perfect party dress. Men will wander through 100 Internet sites in search of the perfect digital camcorder. Women see shopping as a social event. Men see it as a special task or a game to be won.
“Men are frequently shopping to win,” says Ann, a marketing professor at Loyola University of Chicago. “They want to get the best deal. They want to get the best and latest one and if they do that, it makes them happy. When women shop, they're doing it in a way that they want everybody to be very happy,” says Ann. “They're kind of shopping for love.”
“Teenage girls learn to shop from their mums and elder sisters, and they also learn to shop by examining articles in magazines like Seventeen,” Zukin says. “And although men's magazines such as GQ and Esquire have long had shopping articles, it's TV that has the eye of young male shoppers,” say Ann and Zukin.
“Television shows are used by young men in the same way Seventeen or Lucky is used by girls,” says Zukin, “to help make clothing and toiletry choices.”
“Of course, there are men who love to shop and are proud of it,” Ann says. And that is important no matter whether you buy a car or a frying pan. All men love to buy but don't want to get cheated. Ann adds, “There actually are men who are interested, for example, in cooking or shopping or chinaware or things around the home—they become kind of girl magnets. Women like it.”
1.From the first paragraph we can find that .
A. men are all dishonest B. men like to shop in fact
C. men hate to shop actually D. men are all book?lovers
2.Compared to women, men usually treat shopping .
A. honestly B. frequently
C. seriously D. foolishly
3.As is shown in this passage, teenage girls go shopping .
A. only with their sisters B. often following magazines
C. only with their mums D. often following TV shows
4.The underlined word “magnets” in the last paragraph means “ ”.
A. vegetables that make women beautiful
B. magazines that attract young women
C. persons that have a powerful attraction
D. tools that can help housewives much
