A In 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 _____.

D A nobleman (贵族) was once riding along the road and saw an old man digging in his garden. Beside the old man, on the ground, lay a young tree, ready to be planted. 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.

"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?"
