AIn the sea there are many islands. In its warm water there are some little ones. We call them "Coral islands".A coral island is very nice to look at. It looks like a ring of land with trees, grass and flowers on it. One part of the ring is open to the water. There is a little round lake inside the island.If you look into this lake, you will see beautiful coral. You may think they are flowers. If you look at a piece of coral, you will see many little holes in it. In each of these holes a very small sea animal has lived. These sea animals make the coral.They began to build under the water. Year after year, the coral grew higher and higher. At last it grew out of the water.Then the sea brought it into small trees and something else. After some years, these things changed into earth. Sometimes the wind brought seeds to this earth. Sometimes birds flew over it and brought seeds to the island.The little seeds grew. In a few years there were plants all over the island. In a few more years there were trees growing there.So you see, these islands were built little by little. The workers were very small. Do they not teach us a lesson? Can you think what the lesson is?56. A coral island looks like _____.A. a round cakeB. trees, grass and flowersC. a ring of landD. a round lake57.

There were green forests and they could find enough to eat.Gradually（渐渐地）, parts of the earth became cold and dry and the forests there died. Then dinosaurs could not find enough to eat. This must be one reason why dinosaurs diedout (灭绝).There may be other reasons that we do not yet know about. Scientists are trying to make more discoveries（发现）about dinosaurs.We now know that dinosaurs were of many sizes and shapes. Some were as small as chickens, while some were about 90 feet long.There were also terrible fights（战争）between dinosaurs! They might have happened more than 100 millions years ago.

The nobleman called out to the old man, "What kind of tree are you planting there, my good man?" "This is a fig (无花果) tree, sir," he said."A fig tree?" cried the nobleman in surprise. "Why, how old are you, may I ask?""I am ninety years old," said the other."What!" cried the nobleman. "You are ninety years old, you are planting a young tree now and it will take years to give fruit. You certainly don’t hope to live long enough to get any benefit(好处) from this tree?"The old man looked around his garden. Then he smiled and said, "Tell me, sir, did you eat figs when you were a boy?""Sure." The nobleman did not know why he asked this question. The old man smiled again. "Then tell me this," he said, "who planted the trees from which those figs were picked?""Why…why, I don’t know.""You see, sir," went on the old man, "our forefathers planted trees for us to enjoy, and I am doing the same for the people after me. How can I pay back anything to our forefathers?"The nobleman was quiet for a moment and said. "You are right, my good man." Then he rode away.67.

Rats come second. Men kill many beasts, they’ve even killed millions of men since very long ago, but rats kill more men. Rats carry many diseases（疾病）and these diseases have killed and are still killing thousands and thousands of men today in many countries. Rats are dangerous not only in one way. They not only carry diseases into men’s homes, they also eat up men’s food. They eat 33 million tons of grain every year. Men starve（饥饿）because rats eat their food. Rats are clever, too. They have good leaders to tell them the food is terrible when men put poison in it. There are a lot of rats in our cities and villages today. We can go to the moon, but we can not kill all these terrible animals. Is this dangerous enemy too clever and grows too fast, or are we not clever enough and not clean enough?71.
