A
Trees are useful to man in three important ways: they supply him with wood and other products; they gave him shade, and they help to prevent drought and floods.
Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. Eager to make money from trees, he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he had lost the best friends of his. And besides, he is usually too careless to plant and look after new trees, so the forests slowly disappear.
This does not only mean that man will have fewer trees. The results are even more serious: for where there are trees, their roots break up soil, allowing the rain to sink in; and also bind(固定)the soil, thus preventing from being washed away; but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away, causing floods and carrying away the rich top-soil. With the top-soil gone, nothing remains but worthless desert.

A. many trees have been cut down
B. man has not paid enough attention to planting trees

58. The word “he” in the passage refers to ______.
A. the reader B. the writer C. the man who cuts trees D. man
59. The writer tries to let us know _________.
A. the importance of trees to man B. the usage of tree wood
C. the function of tree roots D. the close relation between trees and top-soil
B
Some countries have a large number of earthquakes. Japan is one of them. Others don’t have many; for example, there are few earthquakes in Britain. There is often a GREat noise during an earthquake. The ground shakes and houses fall down. Railway lines are broken. Trains run off the lines. Sometimes thousands of people are killed in different ways. About 60,000 were killed in 1783 in South Italy. A terrible earthquake in 1883 killed 35,000 people in Indonesia.
Fires often follow earthquakes. The Tokyo earthquake of1923 happened just before the middle of the day. People were cooking meals on their fires at that time. When the ground shook, the fires shook too . Hot materials were thrown onto different parts of the houses which were made of wood. soon 134 fires were burning in the city.

People have sailed the world in quite small boats. It is not an easy thing to do. Sometimes the weather gets bad. That can be end of everyone in it. Accidents can happen easily and quickly.
One family once had an accident with some big fish. The fish swam under their boat and bit holes in it. Sea water came in, of course, and the boat soon sank.

The most frightening words in the English language are, “Our computer is down.” You hear it more and more when you are on business. The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office said, “I’m sorry, I can’t sell you a ticket. Our computer is down.”
“If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket.”
“I can’t write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so.”
I looked down on the computer and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen. Then I asked her, “What do all you people do ?”
“We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not.”
“So when it goes down, you go down with it.”
“That’s good, sir.”
“How long will the computer be down?” I wanted to know.
“I have no idea. Sometimes it’s down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. There’s no way we can find out without asking the computer, and since it’s down it won’t answer us.”
After the girl told me they had no backup(备用)computer, I said. “let’s forget the computer. What about your planes? They’re still flying, aren’t they?”
“I couldn’t tell without asking the computer.”
“Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he’s flying to Washington, ” I suggested.
“I wouldn’t know what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldn’t take you if you didn’t have a ticket.”
“Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours?”
“I wouldn’t know,” she said, pointing at the dark screen. “only ‘IT’ knows . ‘It’ can’t tell me.”
By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines. The word soon spread to other travellers that the computer was down. Some people went white, some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage(行李).
72. The best title for the article is _______.
A. when the Computer Is Down B. The Most Frightening Words
