    A small boy at summer camp received a bag of cookies in the mail from his mother. He ate a few, and then put the rest under his bed. The next day, after lunch, he went to his tent to get a cookie. The box was gone.
    That afternoon a camp leader saw another boy sitting behind a tree. He was eating the stolen cookies! “That young man,” he said to himself, “must be taught not to steal.”

    “No, that would only make him hate you.” the leader explained. “I want you to call your mother. Ask her to send you another box of cookies.”
    The boy did so and soon received another box of cookies. “Now,” said the leader, “the boy who stole your cookies is down by the lake. Go and share your cookies with him.”

    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(毁坏) 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(根), and how 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(橡树)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.
    小题1: We know from the passage, the doctor______.
    A．didn't know how to plant trees at all
    B．wasn't good at his own medical job
    C．had his own ways of planting trees
    D．had nothing to do but plant trees
    小题2: When Dr. Gibbs said "... pick out the weaker trees early on.", he meant that______.
    A．some weak trees would be easily found out at the beginning
    B．he would choose the weak trees to water earlier
    C．the weak trees would be sent to his patients later
    D．he would not plant weak trees so early anymore
    小题3: The passage tells us that the writer______.
    A．should beat his trees with a rolled-up newspaper
    B．didn't often water his trees
    C．didn't have a large field
    D．took too much care of his trees
    小题4:The writer wants to change his prayer, hoping that______.
    A．his trees will be stronger than Dr. Gibbs'
    B．his trees will not be beaten down
    C．his sons will be better at planting trees
    D．his sons will be able to face difficulties
    小题5:Which can be the best title of the reading?
    A．Watering TreesB．Growing Roots
    C．Doctor and his NeighborD．Father and his Children

    London, May 5, 2003  Emma Richards of Britain has become the first woman and the youngest person to finish the Around Alone, which is a round-the-world sailing race. The journey started in New York last September and went east around South Africa to New Zealand. It crossed the Pacific Ocean and went around South America, ending up yesterday in Rhode Island, the smallest state in America. In the end, the trip covered over 46,000 kilometres.

    Emma, a 1996 graduate (毕业生) of the University of Glasgow, finished the race at the age of twenty-eight. The race requires competitors to sail alone. Emma said that actually it was very difficult to be all by herself for such a long time even though she’s really into sailing. Her worst moment was when she had to climb the high mast (船桅) in a bad storm to fix some broken parts. She sailed hundreds of kilometres away from land and the wind was blowing very hard. Only her strong willpower kept her going to make it all the way. These days, Emma is happy to be home with her parents and sleep in a bed that stays still.
