A poor farmer had a friend who was famous for the wonderful apples he grew.

One day, his friend gave the farmer a young apple tree and told him to take it home and plant it. The farmer was pleased with the gift, but when he got home, he did not know where lo plant it.

He was afraid that if he planted the tree near the road, strangers would steal the fruit. If he planted the tree in one of his fields, his neighbors would come al night and steal some of the apples. If he planted the tree near his house, his children would take the fruit.

Finally he planted the tree in his woods (樹林) 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 the tree near the road, strangers would have stolen the fruit. If I had planted the tree 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 robbed (搶奪) everyone of the fruit, but also you have destroyed (摧毀) a good apple tree!"

Australia, also known as "the Land Down Under" is a country, an island and a continent（大陸）.It's the world's smallest continent and the sixth largest country.

But only about 24 million people live there. The first people there were the Aborigines. In the late 18th century. the British arrived. Today the British influence on Australia is still very strong. For example, the national language is English and drivers drive on the left side of the road.

Australia was cut off from the other continents a long time ago, so a lot of Australia's animals, like the koala and the kangaroo aren't found anywhere else in the world. Australia also has some of the most dangerous animals in the world. There are poisonous（有毒的）snakes and spiders. In the north, there are huge saltwater crocodiles, and in the sea, around the coast, there are sharks and poisonous jellyfish.

The largest city in Australia is Sydney with its famous Opera House and Harbour Bridge. The 2000 Summer Olympics were held in Sydney. But Sydney isn't the capital of Australia. The capital is Canberra.

Australia is a huge country, but most Australians live in the south-east corner between Sydney and Melbourne. This is because most of the land is very dry. Australians call this dry area the outback(內陸地區(qū)). There are some huge farms there with millions of sheep，The children who live on these farms can’t go to school, because the nearest town is too far away. They study at home with the School of the Air. They used to talk to their teachers by the radio and, nowadays, on the Internet. There is also a "lying doctor" service. The doctor comes to the outback by plane.

1.The population of Australia is______.

Today, people want to keep healthy through sports and exercise. But some of them have some wrong ideas about it.

“A plate of chicken is a good meal before games because it has much energy.”

In fact, the best meal before games should have carbohydrates(碳水化合物). Food like potatoes, bread, bananas are rich (富有……的) in it, but chicken and meat are not.

“The best time to exercise is early in the morning.”

No. Morning is a good time to exercise, but it may not be suitable for you. If an afternoon or evening period is suitable for you, and you enjoy the feeling of getting healthier, you can choose any time to exercise. So there is no fixed time for you to exercise.

“If you drink water when you exercise, you’ll feel tired.”

The fact is that you must have some water during breaks (休息時間) when you exercise. And after exercising, you must have enough water. If you don’t drink enough water, then you may feel tired.

“Exercising every day is quite important.”

Wrong. Too much exercise is bad for our health. You need to give your body a day of rest.

1.Before games it is good for you to eat ___________.

A. bananas B. chicken C. meat D. beef

2.The underlined word “fixed” probably means (意思是) ___________.

A. 重要的 B. 困難的 C. 固定的 D. 簡單的
