When I was growing up,I had an old neighbour named Dr Gibbs.He didn't look like any doctor I'd ever known.He never yelled at us for playing in his yard.I remember him as someone who was a lot nicer than most of the adults in our community.
   When Dr Gibbs wasn't saving lives,he was planting trees.His house sat on ten acres,and his life's goal was to make it a forest.
   The good doctor had some interesting theories concerning plant care and growth.He never watered his new trees,which flew in the face of conventional wisdom.Once I asked why.He said that watering plants spoiled them so that each successive tree generation would grow weaker and weaker.So you have to make things rough for them and weed out (淘汰) the weaker trees early on.
   He talked about how watering trees made for shallow roots,and how trees that weren't watered had to grow deep roots in search of moisture.I took him to mean that deep roots were to be treasured.
   So he never watered his trees.He planted an oak and,instead of watering it every morning,he'd beat it with a rolled-up newspaper.Smack!Slap!Pow!I asked him why he did that,and he said it was to get the tree's attention.
   Dr Gibbs passed away a couple of years after I left home.Every now and again,I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I'd watched him plant some twenty-five years ago.They're extremely tall,big and robust since they have deep roots now.However,the trees in my garden trembled in a cold wind although I had watered them for several years.
   It seems that adversity (逆境) and suffering benefit these trees in ways comfort and ease never could.I stood there deep in thought.
   Every night before I go to bed,I check on my two sons.I stand over them and watch their little bodies,the rising and falling of life within.I often pray for them.Mostly I pray that their lives will be easy.But I think it's time to change my prayer (禱詞) because now I know my children are going to encounter hardship.

  • 1.Ten years ago I used to be very fit (健康的).I rode a bike to work and I got a lot of exercise at weekends.I used to play tennis a lot and go for long walks.In those days I didn't earn very much.I had a job in an office.It wasn't a very good job but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed doing.
    Then,about eight years ago,I got a much better job.The pay was better,but the hours were a lot longer.I bought a car and drove to work every day.I began to take people out to lunch.And I began to put on weight,too.I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at weekends because I just didn't have any time for things like that any more.
    There's a lot of stress (壓力) in my job.Perhaps that's why I started drinking more than I used to.For example,I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home,but then I started filling my glass to the top,and instead of having one glass,I would have several.I started smoking a lot,too.I never used to smoke at all.
    Two months ago I had a heart attack.At first I just couldn't believe it.Luckily it wasn't very serious.The doctor advised me to stop smoking and to eat less.He also advised me to work less and get more exercise.But I just haven't any time!My job takes everything out of me!
    Sometimes I wonder if I should get another job.Perhaps I could do something like I used to do.But if I do that,I won't earn as much.I have a family to support.I have to think of them,too.I just don't know what I should do.What do you think?

  • 3.Iceland has the highest birth rate in Europe,the highest divorce rate,and the highest percentage of women working outside the home.Such statistics are often evidence of a miserable,chaotic(混亂的)society,with loads of children,broken homes and absent mothers.But Iceland is the exception - its citizens are the happiest in the world.
       Perhaps the country's geographic location contributes to Icelanders' happiness.Located in the middle of the North Atlantic,with Greenland as its nearest neighbor,Iceland is free from the taboos(禁忌)that cause so much trouble elsewhere.For instance,people who divorce are not looked down upon by society.
       Icelanders are offsprings(后代)of the Vikings,a north European people who invaded European coasts from the 8th through the 10th century.This tradition of getting out into the world lives on in modern-day Iceland.Practically all Icelanders have studied or worked abroad,and most speak English.
       Perhaps as a result,Iceland's economic policies blend the best of those from Europe with the US to create its own welfare system.
       "Many of us have lived in the US,and studied there," said the Icelandic Prime Minister Geir Haarde. "We have both taken from them and found that naturally we share the can-do attitude-- that if you work hard,anything can be done."
       Indeed,the country is rich in writers,painters,film makers and musicians.There's Sigur Ros,a post-rock band,and also a national symphony orchestra that plays to the highest standards all over the world.Half the population appears to have written a book.
       "Iceland has harsh(惡劣的) nature,with its bitter ever-changing weather," said Haraldur Jonsson,a painter,sculptor and video and performance artist. "We cannot escape it.So we find ways________.We have to have a rich internal(內(nèi)在的)life to fill the empty spaces."

    (1)It is commonly believed that high birth rate and divorce rate will bring about

    A.social problems
    B.happiness
    C.a(chǎn) unique welfare system
    D.modern way of life
    (2)Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the reason for Icelanders' happiness?

    A.Geographic location.
    B.A rich internal life.
    C.National pride.
    D.Freedom from taboos.
    (3)The most suitable phrase to fill in the blank in the last paragraph is

    A.to get rid of it
    B.to have it changed
    C.to get away from it
    D.to live with it
