A
When I was a little boy, I lived next to David. He liked to plant trees in his large yard on weekends. But the way he planted trees was quite different. He never watered his new trees. I asked him why he did so, and he said that watering trees would spoil them. “If you water the new trees at once, each baby tree will grow weaker and weaker.” said David. He told me that watering these new trees would make roots (树根) shallow (浅), but deep roots were very important for trees. I didn’t understand his words at that time.
Several years after I left home, I came back to visit my parents. When I walked by David’s house, I saw the trees that he planted. They are strong now. I suddenly realize that planting a tree is like raising a child. As a father of two children, I shouldn’t care for them too much. Instead, they should depend on themselves. In that case, whatever happens, they can make their own decisions.

3. Why didn’t David water his new trees?
A. Because he didn’t have enough water. B. Because he was too old to water trees.

4. How are the trees that David planted now?
A. Dead. B. Weak. C. Small. D. Strong.

Living in family groups, these social creatures work together and communicate often to survive in the hard environment.
Marmots may look cute, but they can be very dangerous. They carry the disease (疾病) that caused the Black Death. This terrible disease killed over 100 million people in history. It can spread through small cuts or even through the air and cause high fever and bleeding. If sick people wait too long to see a doctor, this disease will turn into a killer quickly.
The National Health Commission (委员会) advises:
·Keep a safe distance when meeting wild marmots.
·Never keep them as pets, and never touch or feed them.
·See a doctor right away if you have a fever after touching them.
The recent online sales of marmots have raised alarms. While their round faces might make us want to get close to them, health organizations have reminded us that we should not risk our lives just for their cuteness.

A. To show diseases are not so terrible.
B. To say old medical care was not good enough.

A. Never touch marmots. B. Buy marmots online.
C. Keep marmots as pets. D. Feed marmots fresh grass.

When I was a little boy, I lived next to David. He liked to plant trees in his large yard on weekends. But the way he planted trees was quite different. He never watered his new trees. I asked him why he did so, and he said that watering trees would spoil them. “If you water the new trees at once, each baby tree will grow weaker and weaker.” said David. He told me that watering these new trees would make roots (树根) shallow (浅), but deep roots were very important for trees. I didn’t understand his words at that time.
Several years after I left home, I came back to visit my parents. When I walked by David’s house, I saw the trees that he planted. They are strong now. I suddenly realize that planting a tree is like raising a child. As a father of two children, I shouldn’t care for them too much. Instead, they should depend on themselves.

Recently, many people have fallen in love with the cute marmots (土拨鼠) in the movie Ne Zha 2. This made people start buying real marmots online as pets. However, some health organizations have quickly warned (警告) the public that these lovely wild animals can easily spread (传播) the plague (鼠疫).
Marmots are widely found in Northwest China. Listed as protected animals in China, they always choose cool mountain grasslands, open deserts, and rocky hills as their homes. They are good at digging holes. They feed on fresh grass, juicy plants, and fruits like apples and bananas. Living in family groups, these social creatures work together and communicate often to survive in the hard environment.
Marmots may look cute, but they can be very dangerous. They carry the disease (疾病) that caused the Black Death. This terrible disease killed over 100 million people in history. It can spread through small cuts or even through the air and cause high fever and bleeding. If sick people wait too long to see a doctor, this disease will turn into a killer quickly.
The National Health Commission (委员会) advises:
·Keep a safe distance when meeting wild marmots.
·Never keep them as pets, and never touch or feed them.
·See a doctor right away if you have a fever after touching them.
The recent online sales of marmots have raised alarms. While their round faces might make us want to get close to them, health organizations have reminded us that we should not risk our lives just for their cuteness.
16. What has recently caused people’s interest in marmots?
A. Protection rules. B. A song about marmots.
C. A new study on marmots. D. The cute look of marmots in a movie.
17. Where do marmots mainly live in China?
A. In Northeast China. B. In Northwest China.
C. In Southern China. D. In Southwest China.
18. Why does the writer mention the Black Death in paragraph 3?
A. To show diseases are not so terrible.
B. To say old medical care was not good enough.
C. To describe how marmots move to new places.
D. To show the disease was very dangerous in history.
19. What does the National Health Commission advise people to do?
A. Never touch marmots. B. Buy marmots online.
C. Keep marmots as pets. D. Feed marmots fresh grass.
20. What would be the best title for the article?
