I met my friend when we were in graduate school，and we enjoyed hanging out together outside of class.After receiving our degrees，we both left school to live in different states.That was 10 years ago.
We’ve kept in touch，but our phone conversations and twiceayear visits became opportunities for my friend to talk endlessly about her problems.When I tried to fill her in on my own life，she obviously ignored.
In the past few years I’ve not visited her at all and been afraid of her occasional phone calls and visits to my house.She invites herself now because I no longer invite her.When she’s at my home，she literally follows me from room to room，talking nonstop，until I make an excuse to get away from her.I tell her I need to take a nap，but I don’t sleep.I sit in my room and read or enjoy the quiet.
Here’s the worst part.She and her family，including two young children，are moving to our city.Her family has a small income，and they are buying a house in a grand neighborhood they can’t afford.She asked if she and her husband and her children could stay at my home on their trips to our town to deal with house matters.
My husband and I have no children.Even though our home is tiny and perfectly sized for us，I let them stay.She told me her husband would start his new job before they finished purchasing this house.I felt obligated to offer her our guest room.If I hadn’t offered，she would have asked anyway.
Now he’s here，and it turns out he’ll be staying on through the weekends.I am seething.
I would never under any circumstances impose on a friendship this way.I feel used，resentful，and don’t care if I ever see her again.Should I end this friendship? I’m getting absolutely nothing from it but a knot in my stomach.

●Trees produce oxygen
2．____________A leafy tree produces as much oxygen in a season as 10 people inhale in a year.What many people don’t realize is that the forest also acts as a giant filter that cleans the air we breathe.Trees help clean the air by preventing airborne particles，reducing heat，and absorbing such pollutants.

The term phytoremediation is a fancy word for the absorption of dangerous chemicals and other pollutants that have entered the soil. 3.____________ Trees filter(过滤)sewage and farm chemicals，reduce the effects of animal wastes，clean roadside spills and so on.
●Trees are carbon sinks
To produce its food，a tree absorbs and locks away carbon dioxide in the wood，roots and leaves.Carbon dioxide is a global warming suspect. 4.____________ This lockingup process“stores”carbon as wood and not as a “greenhouse”gas.
● 5.____________
Trees block urban noise almost as effectively as stone walls.Trees，planted at strategic points in a neighborhood or around your house，can reduce major noises from freeways and airports.

【语篇解读】 树对人类的生存环境起着重要的作用。无论是天然林还是人工林，都在美化着这个星球。树在哪些方面造福我们呢？
1．选F。空格的前句说的是地球上的自然林和我们种植的树木一起创造更好的世界。空格后的句子是说这里有一个关于树对改善我们的生存环境非常必要的重要原因的简单列表。故F项“当今的人类还有其他更现实的理由敬佩、珍视树木”起承上启下的作用，符合语境。
2．选A。根据下文可知，此处是说树所生产的氧气帮助我们存活，故A项符合语境。
3．选G。由空后的内容可知，树木会过滤污水和农业用药，减少动物粪便的影响及清理路边的污物等，故G项能概括此处描述的内容。
4．选C。根据空前的“locks away carbon dioxide”和空后的“This
lockingup process‘stores’carbon”可知答案。
