On their own, the two are “disabled”. But together, they are a powerful team that has changed part of their village in North Chinas Hebei Province into a rich, green forest. Meet 53-year-old Jia Haixia and Jia Wenqi!Their story began in 2000, when Haixia, who was already blind in his right eye, lost his left one after an illness. Wenqi lost his arms in an accident when he was just three. Neither could find a job, so the two decided to team up. They rented some poor land and began to plant trees. In return, the local officials paid them a small fee. Haixia and Wenqi never imagined that they would end up creating an environmental paradise. Their forest now has over 10,000 trees, hundreds of birds and many other wild animals. In addition, it saves the village from river flooding during the rainy season. When the friends work together, they focus on their strengths not their disabilities. Their day begins at 7 a.m. when the sightless Haixia carries Wenqi across the river to get to their worksite. Since they cannot afford to buy young trees to plant, the two use branches from existing trees. Haixia climbs to the tree-top and with Wenqis direction, selects the perfect branch. He then digs a hole and carefully plants it. Finally Wenqi waters the area.Though hard-working, the men dont make much money. But as Wenqi puts it, “We stand on our own feet, so the fruits of our work taste sweeter.”Neither Haixia nor Wenqi cares about money. Together, they already have everything they need - a perfect pair of eyes, two strong hands, and the best friendship in the world!（1）Why did Haixia and Wenqi start working together?（ ）A . Haixia needed someone to help him. B . They both needed a way to make money.C . They wanted to improve the environment.D . They were required to do so by local offcials.（2）Haixia and Wenqis forest has helped the village by_ .A . stopping floods in the rainy seasonB . increasing the number of touristsC . making the villagers richerD . providing more farmland（3）Why do Haixia and Wenqi plant tree branches?（ ）A . They are easy to getB . They do not cost money.C . They can grow very quickly.D . They are preferred by animals.（4）In paragraph 5, when Wenqi says “We stand on our own feet, so the fruits of our work taste sweeter”, he means that “_”.A . they hope to make the forest even betterB . the fruits from their trees are very sweetC . they are proud not to depend on others D . they are able to do any difficult work（5）What can we learn from this story?（ ）A . Never give up and you will succeed.B . We should help the disabled to work.C . Try your best when facing difficulties. D . We can achieve more with teamwork.19. （10分）根据短文内容，选最佳择答案,并在答题卡上按要求作答。Its not easy to be an astronauts son. Everybody expects you to be special or perfect.
