阅读下面短文,根据短文内容, 完成下列各题。

In 1988, Wang Chengbang retired (退休) from the army. Instead of enjoying a relaxing life, he volunteered to save the soil from desertification (沙漠化) by planting trees in Korla, Xinjiang.

It is no easy job. The high temperature in Korla makes it difficult for anyone to work day after day in the sunshine. Besides, water is a big problem. In fact Wang Chengbang's work in the fist few years failed as very few trees survived (存活).

But Wang Chengbang would not give up. "After trying many different ways, I have learned how to grow young trees in a better way, "said Wang Chengbang. He also worked out new ways to save water. With his hard work, more and more trees have survived. So far, he has planted more than 1.5 million trees. Those green res prevent desertification, make the air cleaner and protect people from the hot sun. Now, Korla is a model city in environmental protection.

Wang Chengbang is also successful in fighting cancer (癌症). In 2005, he had cancer and was told that he had only six months to live. However, he continued taking care of his tree rather than lying on the hospital bed. "Working is the best medicine. Planting trees helps to fight cancer, "he often jokes.

Now at the age of 85, Wang Chengbang is still working.

(1)、Is it an easy job for Wang Chenbang to plant trees?
(2)、How many trees has Wang Chengbang planted so far?
(3)、What is Wang Chengbang successful in?
(4)、In the summer holiday, do you want to be a volunteer to work with Wang Chengbang? Why or why not?
举一反三

    Once upon a time, there lived a generous and kind-hearted king. But, the people weren't happy with their king because he was too lazy and wouldn't do anything other than eating and sleeping. He spent days, weeks and months in his bed. The king became a couch potato and the people started to worry about him.

    One day, the king realized that he couldn't even move his body. He invited famous doctors from various parts of his country and offered them generous rewards to make him fit. Unfortunately, none could help the king gain his health or fitness.

    One morning, a man called Rishi visited the land of the king. He heard about the illness of the king and told one minister that he could easily cure the king. Hearing these promising words, the minister became very happy.

    Since he couldn't move his body, the fat king asked the minister to bring Rishi to the palace, but Rishi refused and ordered the king to come to meet him. After a lot of effort, the king met the man. Rishi encouraged him and said he was good and very soon the king would gain his health. He asked the king to come for treatment every day from the next day on. Also, Rishi told the king that he would treat him only if he came on foot to his place.

    The king was unable to walk even a few steps on the road, but accompanied by his followers, he reached Rishi's place. Unfortunately, Rishi wasn't available there and his friend said the king could come and meet him the next day for treatment. This was repeated for two weeks and the king never met Rishi and never had any treatment. Suddenly, the king realized that he was a lot lighter, lost a lot of weight and felt more active than before. He realized the reason why Rishi asked him to reach his place by walking.

    Very soon, the king regained his health, and the people were very happy in his kingdom. The king had a lot of wealth, but no amount of wealth could make him healthy.

 C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words。

A friend of mine was fond of drawing horse. He drew the horses very well, but he always began the tail. Now it is the Western rule to begin at the head of the horse, that is why I was surprised. It struck me that it could not really make any difference w{#blank#}1{#/blank#} the artist begins at the head or the tail or the belly(肚子)or the foot of the horse, if he really knows his business. And most great artists who really know their business do not follow other people's rule. They make their own r{#blank#}2{#/blank#}. Every one of them does his work in a way peculiar(奇特的) to himself; and the peculiarity means only that he f{#blank#}3{#/blank#} it more easy to work in that way. 

Now the very same thing is true to literature(文学). And the q{#blank#}4{#/blank#}, "How shall I begin?" only means that you want to begin at the head i{#blank#}5{#/blank#} of beginning at the tail or somewhere else. That is, you are not yet experienced(有经验的) e{#blank#}6{#/blank#} to trust to your own powers. When you become more experienced you will never ask the question, and I think that you will often begin at the tail --that is to say, you will write the e{#blank#}7{#/blank#} of the story before you have even thought of the beginning.
