D
When I was growing up, I had an old neighbor, Dr. Gibbs. He didn’t look like any doctor I’d ever known. He never invited us to play in his yard, but he was a very kind person.
When Dr. Gibbs wasn’t saving lives, he was planting trees. He owned a large field and wanted to make it a forest.
The good doctor had some interesting ideas about planting trees. He never watered his new trees. Once I asked why. He said that watering plants spoiled (宠坏)them, and that if you watered them, each baby tree would grow weaker and weaker, so you had to make things difficult for them and pick out the weaker trees early on.
He talked about how watering trees made for shallow(浅的) roots, and the trees that weren’t watered had to grow deep roots in search of water under the earth by themselves. Deep roots were very important.
So he never watered his trees. He’d planted an oak and, instead of watering it every morning, he’d beat it with a rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree’s attention.
Dr. Gibbs died several years after I left home. Every now and then, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I watched him plant about twenty-five years ago. They’re very big and strong now.
I planted some trees a few years back and carried water to them for a whole summer. After two years of caring too much, whenever a cold wind blows in, they shake a lot.
Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. Mostly I pray(祈祷) that their lives will be easy. But lately I’ve been thinking that it’s time to change my prayer. I know my children are going to face difficulties. There’s always a cold wind blowing somewhere, so what we need to do is to pray for roots that reach deep into the brave heart, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, we could face it strongly and won’t be beaten down.

Like many people ,I have no clear idea about heroes . A t some point , we all wonder if we need a hero and what a hero really is.
Although there are a lot of differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics (特点) which give us courage and make us want to learn from them.
A hero does something worth (值) talking about, A hero has a special story to tell and people think highly of it. But a hero is not just person with great fame (声誉).
A hero has power(力量) larger than himself . Some people want to live like a hero. And they have to experience life with new and further meaning .A sure test for would- be heroes is what or whom they serve. What do they want to live and die for? If their answer suggests they serve only own fames, they may be famous persons but not heroes.
A hero has a vision from the mountain top .He has the power to move people . He creates new possibility. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of Britain, Without Martin Luther King .Jr, Americans might take different parks , and shop in different stores of the different colors of their skins.
There might be changes in society without a hero, but the speed of the change would be rather slow . Thanks to heroes in history ,they make the society develop so rapidly.

People do not usually like floods but some farmers need floods when their fields are too dry.When there is a flood, the water carries mud and sand from the river bed to the field near the river. When the water goes away, the mud and sand become good soil.
People in many countries tell stories about a very big flood. The flood covered the world. Here is just one of those stories.
A long , long time ago there was a man called Noah(诺亚). He lived with his wife, his three sons and his sons’ wives. One day, Noah heard a voice. It said: “Noah, soon there will be a big flood. You must build a boat. You must put two of every animal and bird in the boat. Many, many people will die in the flood but you and your family will be all right.”
Noah and his family built a boat. They put two of every animal and bird in their boat. They put food in the boat, too. Then it started to rain. It rained for 40 days and 40 nights. The water covered the world. The hills and mountains looked like islands. Noah’s boat stopped on the top of the mountain. At last the rain stopped and the flood went away. There was a beautiful rainbow in the sky. And the animals and birds left Noah’s boat. They ran, jumped, walked and flew away to live on the mountains.
According to the story, answer the following questions:
Can floods be good for farmers?
______________________________________________
