Long long ago， there lived two brothers in a village. Their parents died and left them a farm. The elder son took everything except for a very small piece of land， a cat and a dog. The younger son had to use the cat and the dog to pull his plough（犁）because he did not have an ox（牛）. They did not like this at all and cried out.

Near the farm， there was a mountain called Stone Mountain. A demon（魔鬼）lived on this mountain and people who looked at it carefully could see his face.

Dr. Gibbs trees

When I was young， I had an old neighbor named Dr. Gibbs. He was the nicest doctor that I had ever known. When Dr. Gibbs wasnt saving lives， he was planting trees. His house covered ten acres and his goal was to make it a forest.

The good doctor had some interesting and strange ways about planting. He never watered his trees and he always beat them with a rolledup newspaper — to wake them up and push them to grow faster.

I didnt understand why he did this to his trees and one day， I asked him for the reason. “Watering plants spoils them，” Dr. Gibbs explained. “If you water them， the trees will grow weaker and weaker. So you have to make things hard for them.” Dr. Gibbs also talked about how watering trees made for shallow roots. Those trees that werent watered enough had to grow deeper into the ground in search of moisture， which brought them stronger lives.

To be honest， I didnt quite understand his theories. So I tried to plant some trees by myself. Every day， I watered them and took good care of them. I wanted to prove that my trees would grow much better than his.

Twenty five years later， I came back to my hometown to check those trees. Things were beyond my expectations. Dr. Gibbs trees were strong and robust. My trees， however， were almost dying. Those trees that hadnt been watered enough and had been beaten hard were much more lively.

Dr. Gibbs theory suddenly came back to me. Adversity and hardship seemed to have benefited Dr. Gibbs trees in a way that comfort and ease could never offer.

Since then， I changed my wishes for my son. I used to hope that his life would be smooth and easy. But hell have to encounter hardships anyway， and hardships shape him into a better person. So Ive been praying that he has the strength and courage to face everything.

56. Why did Dr. Gibbs use newspaper to beat his trees？

A. To make water for his tree.

B. To give a warning to his tree.

C. To make his trees grow faster.

D. To build up his own body.

57. Whats the reason that Mr. Gibbs didnt water his trees？

A. Watering the trees may cost him too much money.

B. Watering the trees usually makes them grow shallow roots.

C. Mr. Gibbs is a lazy doctor.

D. Water is very hard to find in that area.

58. What does the underlined word “robust” mean in paragraph 5？

A. healthyB. weak

C. uglyD. short

59. What lesson can we draw from the story？

A. Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well.

B. The beginning is the most important part of the work.

C. Your future depends on your dreams.

D. No cross， no crown.

60. Which of the following is NOT true？

阅读下面材料，根据要求完成66～70题。

The weather is getting hotter and youll be getting thirstier playing basketball or riding home from school. A cold drink may be just the thing. But be careful what you pour down your throat. ①Something that looks cool may not be good for your health.

There are plenty of socalled energy drinks on the market. Most of them have an attractive colour and cool name. Their nutrition list also contains various things from vitamins to ginseng. Sounds great！

But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks contain high levels of caffeine. These drinks are typically aimed at young people， students， busy people and sports players.

②Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. ③但小心不要喝得太多。

Caffeine raises your heartbeat. Because of this， the International Olympic Committee has limited their use. The amount of caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as high as in a strong cup of coffee or strong tea.

Research by Australian scientists has found that many teenagers are affected by caffeine. The results of their survey show that 27 percent of boys aged 812 take in more caffeine than their parents.

There are potential health risks linked to energy drinks. Just one can of energy drink can make you nervous， have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart attacks.
