Growing trees in the concrete jungle of Los Angels brings neighbors benefits beyond beauty.

    As the  36  of TreePeople, a nonprofit organization he founded in 1973, Andy, now 54, has inspired hundreds of thousands of volunteers to  37  plant more than two million trees throughout Southern California.

       Tree People 38 tools, blueprints, planting demonstrations, and tree-care supervisors free to all the participants,  39  me. “You will need their support,” Andy said, referring to my neighbors. “ 40 

the community behind you, the trees you plant will die in five years.” So I started knocking on doors, hoping to share  41  I’d learnt in Tree People’s seminar(培訓(xùn)班) about the critical role of trees in removing smog from the  42  , cooling our homes and preventing water runoff.

       Strange  43  it may seem, some people are afraid of trees. “The roots destroy sidewalks,” one neighbor said, “  44  will ruin my pipes. And I don’t want leaves.”  45   told me.

       When I called Andy about the  46  I was getting from my neighbors, he encouraged me to keep trying. So my son and my wife delivered cookies while I went door to door. It  47  us half a year to sign permission forms from 16 neighbors for 21 trees.

       When the big day arrived, I was excited and  48  . What if I threw a planting tree and  49  else came? But as I set out shovels(鐵鏟), my son and wife made cakes and doughnuts,  50  started to gather. Friends brought friends. Neighbors came with cousins and grandchildren. A local middle school even  51  with half the seventh grade. More than 300 people joined us.

       Then Andy led us in a  52  : welcoming each tree into the world and  53  it name. After the ceremony, as I shook hands with volunteers and my neighbors, I  54 help but feel we’d accomplished  55  great. After all, trees need people, and people need trees.

Everyone needs friends. There is an old saying, “Friends are God’s way of taking care of us.” But how do you find real friendship and keep it?

The American writer Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends. Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed(種子) and take care of it to make it grow.

First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient(耐心). For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complaints and do his best to help. To make a good friend, you cannot be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives.

But things cannot always be happy. Even the best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, have an honest talk. If he or she doesn’t want to talk, you could write a letter.

There are three steps to being friends again:

Tell him or her how you are feeling; say what your friend has done wrong, and explain why you did this or that. Remember that friendship is the most important thing in your life.

49  Sally wants to tell students the ways to_____.

A  find friends       B  plant trees         C  get happy          D  keep fit

50  What makes good friends? A good friend should_____.

A  be lovely and cool                         B  be kind and patient

C  have lots of money                         D  have good looks

51  According to the text, you can________your friend after a fight.

A  buy a present for                                  B  never say a word to

C  have dinner with                                   D  write a letter to

52  What is the best title of the text?

A  Teenagers and friendship.                        B  The good friends around you.

C  The trouble of growing up.                          D  The care and keeping of friends.
