One of sweetest memories as a child is of going down to the river and sitting comfortably on the bank. There I would enjoy the peace and quiet, watch the water rush downstream and listen to songs of birds. I would also watch the bamboo trees bend under the pressure from the wind and watch them return gracefully to their original state after the wind had died down.
When I think about the bamboo tree’s ability to bend and move back, the word “resilience” comes to my mind. When it is used for a person, this word means the ability to readily recover(恢复) from shock, sadness or any other suffering. Have you ever felt like you were going to snap? Have you ever felt like you were at your breaking point? Thankfully, you have survived to talk about it.
Life is a mixture(混合) of good times and bad times, happy moments and unhappy moments. The next time you are experiencing one of those bad times or unhappy moments that take you close to your breaking point, bend, but don’t break. Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you.
An amount of hope will take you through the unpleasant suffering. With hope for a better tomorrow or a better situation, things may not be as bad as they seem. The unpleasant suffering may be easier to deal with if the end result is worth having.
If things get tough and you are at your breaking point, show resilience. Like the bamboo trees, bend, but don’t break!What does the word “snap” in the second paragraph most probably mean?
| A．break | B．change |
| C．win | D．Complain |
What can help people get through sufferings according to the writer?
| A．Holding peace and quiet in mind. | B．Waiting until sufferings disappear. |
| C．Experiencing more bad times. | D．Hoping for a better tomorrow. |
What would be the best title of this passage?
| A．Memories of Bamboo | B．Be Like Bamboo |
| C．Enjoying Bamboo | D．Characteristics of Bamboo |
