¡¡¡¡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 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(dzµÄ)roots, 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 and, instead of watering it every morning, he'd beat it with a rolled-up newspaper£®I ask 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(Æíµ»)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£®

Venice is an attractive city in Italy. Tourists throughout the world love traveling to Venice. But sometimes you¡¯ll have such strange experiences. One moment you walk across the Rialto Bridge, and there¡¯s nothing special. Unfortunately, when you come back to the bridge an hour later, it¡¯s underwater and everyone¡¯s wearing rain boots.
That¡¯s just the way it has always been, which may be considered seriously by Italian government. Before the sea comes to Venice, the government has decided to build the MOSE gates. Actually(ʵ¼ÊÉÏ), there were many kinds of gates that were built to stop the floods, but all the gates were just built on the ground. Besides, the flooding was becoming worse. Industrial(¹¤ÒµµÄ)factories built nearby on the mainland also made the condition get worse, causing the city to sink about 0.75 feet in the 20th century.
So the Italian government asked some of Italy¡¯s biggest construction and engineering companies to build the MOST project, which was planned to be built under the sea water to stop floods. Now the government are using 3 000 people and expect to spend nearly five billion euros(Å·Ôª) on it. The MOSE gates are being built at the inlets(º£Íå).Each MOST gate is 197 feet long ,28.5 to 37 feel tall, and weight up to 22 tons. It¡¯s nearly the size of a 20-story building. Before the gates are in use, under the sea full of water. When the flood comes, the water in the gates will be poured out, and then the gates will be filled with air. So the gates can go up with the sea water. Once they¡¯re in the right place, they will stop the sea water pouring into Venice. These gates will be able to deal with floods up to 10feet,and as long as the sea level(ƽÃæ)rises no more than two feet in the next 100 years, the MOSE will work as expected.
The MOSE project is now two-thirds done. The head engineer, Giovanni Cecconi, said, ¡°This is a war. During the war, it¡¯s not important that you win. It¡¯s important that you¡¯re alive. We¡¯ve alive.¡± Anyway, this project is saving Venice from falling.

Have you ever beard of Iceland? Iceland is a country, one-tenth of which is covered with ice. However, it is said that Iceland is the land of heat. Smoking volcanoes (»ðɽ), white steam (ÕôÆû) and hot springs are more amazing than the other sights including ice there.

    It has taken millions of years for volcanoes and lava flows (ÈÛÑÒÁ÷) to build Iceland. When hiking through one of Iceland¡¯s many ancient lava fields, you may notice something strange. White steam is rising from each vent in front of you. Iceland is covered with vents which steam can pass out of. The steam comes from naturally heated rocks and hot water below the Earth¡¯s surface (±íÃæ).

    Like steam vents, hot springs can be seen here and there in the ancient lava fields. Blue Lake is the most famous hot spring in Iceland. It isn¡¯t far from the capital city of the country. The water and white earth in it can make your skin as soft as a newborn baby¡¯s skin. Enjoy that water, because it has traveled a long way. It starts nearly two kilometers under Blue Lake. There, water from the ocean continues moving up slowly into the spaces between hot rocks below the surface. And then the water is heated by hot rocks. Powerful machines and long pipes (Ë®¹Ü) help bring the heated water to the surface. People in Iceland use natural hot water for hot springs. Besides, they use it to create electricity that can be used to heat homes and even greenhouses.

    Iceland is one of the few places on the Earth where active volcanoes lie below ice. Heat from the volcanoes creates a strange and wild beauty. Therefore, some people believe that it¡¯s better to call the country ¡°Heatland¡± instead of Iceland. If you have a chance to travel there, take it.
