One of the costs of being a lover of old trees is the all-too-frequent loss of a beautiful
soul you've grown fond summer was harder than most for old trees and their human
spring's nonstop rains flooded soils and caused root systems of many large,old
trees to rot in ,when the summer came,trees could not tap deep sources of water that
would normally have maintained(

When I volunteered on the Mount Rainier Tree Commission,I heard from many people

Now,our public and private tree programs often ignore old trees until it is too long

trees to help protect us,but we leave them er this in the human

getting emotional after splitting up with your partner can all cause tears to roll down our faces.
We all have the power to cry, but is that a good thing?
When you think about it, shedding(
流
) tears from your eyes is a strange thing to do. But it
seems to be an automatic(
无意识的
) reaction when we get sad, upset or even when we're very
happy. What causes this reaction differs from person to person. However, the feeling is the
same
——
your cheeks puff up(
鼓起
), your eyes tighten and before you know it, tears are
streaming down your face. Some of us may sniffle a little while others might cry like a baby
——
and some people suggest that it's women who cry more than men.
A study in the UK in 2017 found that women admitted that they cry 72 times a year. This
was, on average, more than men. Writing for the BBC, Adam Rutherford says “According to
pretty much every study done, women do cry more than men, and this result has been consistent
since
we've been looking.” But does this mean men don't get as upset or emotional as women,
or are they just more embarrassed about showing their true feelings? The debate continues.
One place where we experience emotional and tearful outbursts is in the workplace. This
can be somewhere where emotions run high
——
someone might be stressed, their workload
might be too much, and, as therapist, Joanna Cross said, “crying is often a build
-up of
frustration and undealt-with situations and it's a bit of a final straw moment
.” She describes
how someone might start weeping when they're just asked to make a cup of tea because,
“actually that's often a backlog(
积压
) of situations.”

But crying in the office or elsewhere can be beneficial: it can actually make you feel better.
Maybe it dissolves or clears the negative or sad feelings you've had. Crying your eyes out
shows others how you feel, so perhaps it's a crying shame that more of us, particularly men,
don't cry more often.

What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A
．
Babies cry most without good reasons.
B
．
People cry for the same reasons.
C

Being happy can cause you to cry a lot.
D

Franz Kafka wrote that “
a book must be the ax for the frozen sea inside us
.” I once
shared this sentence with a class of seventh graders, and it didn’t seem to require any
explanation.
We’d just finished John Steinbeck’s novel Of Mice and Men. When we read the end
together out loud in class, my toughest boy, a star basketball player, wept a little, and so did I.
“Are you crying?” one girl asked, as she got out of her chair to take a closer look. “I am,” I told
her, “and the funny thing is I’ve read it many times.”

But they understood. When George shoots Lennie, the tragedy is that we realize it was
always going to happen. In my 14 years of teaching in a New York City public middle school,
I’ve taught kids with imprisoned parents, abusive parents, irresponsible parents; kids who are
parents themselves; kids who are homeless; kids who grew up in violent neighborhoods. They
understand, more than I ever will, the novel’s terrible logic—
the giving way of dreams to fate.
For the last seven years, I have worked as a reading enrichment teacher, reading classic
works of literature with small groups of students from grades six to eight. I originally proposed
this idea to my headmaster after learning that a former excellent student of mine had transferred
out of a selective high school
—
one that often attracts the literary-minded children of
Manhattan’s upper classes—
into a less competitive setting. The daughter of immigrants, with a
father in prison, she perhaps felt uncomfortable with her new classmates. I thought additional
“cultural capital” co
uld help students like her develop better in high school, where they would
unavoidably meet, perhaps for the first time, students who came from homes lined with
bookshelves, whose parents had earned Ph. D
．
’s.

Along with Of Mice and Men, my groups read: Sounder, The Red Pony, Lord of the Flies,
Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth. The students didn’t always read from the expected point of
view. About The Red Pony, one student said, “it’s about being a man, it’s about manliness.” I
had never before seen the parallels between Scarface and Macbeth, nor had I heard Lady
Macbeth’s soliloquies (
独白
) read as raps, but both made sense; the interpretations were playful,

but serious. Once introduced to Steinbeck’s writing, one boy went on to read The Grapes of
Wrath and told m
e repeatedly how amazing it was that “all these people hate each other, and
they’re all white.” His historical view was broadening, his sense of his own country deepening.
Year after year, former students visited and told me how prepared they had felt in their first year
in college as a result of the classes.
Year after year, however, we are increasing the number of practice tests. We are trying to
teach students to read increasingly complex texts, not for emotional punch (
碰撞
) but for text
complexity. Yet, we cannot enrich the minds of our students by testing them on texts that ignore
their hearts. We are teaching them that words do not amaze but confuse. We may succeed in
raising test scores, but we will fail to teach them that reading can be transformative and that it
belongs to them.

Improving as a runner is about more than just running all of the time.16

In that case,
you can make large improvements as a runner in a relatively short time, no matter what your
sport, race, or running habits.

It is common for runners to push themselves about the same amount each time,
running similarly challenging runs and gradually increasing difficulty. Outstanding runners,
however, alternate(
交替
)an easy, resting run with a very challenging one. It is during these
difficult runs
，
when you really push yourself, that your body snakes the most significant
gains.18
．
Rather, it is helping rebuild and relax the muscles needed for your big runs.
Keep a relaxed but strong upper body to conserve energy efficiently. You want to keep
your chin(
下巴
)up and your shoulders back, with loose, relaxed arm and hand muscles. Your
elbows are bent at 90 degrees but swing freely. If anything, the only muscles you want to focus
on keeping strong and tight are the ones in your core(
核心
).19
．

Use your light run to work up a light sweat. A higher body temperature ensures your
muscles are loose and flexible, and your body is pumping blood effectively throughout. For
everything other than easy runs, use the first five to ten minutes to build a light sweat and get
your body ready for exercise.20
．
Slowly pick up speed for short 10 second runs, then return to
normal warm-up pace. This helps prepare your muscles for speed.
A
．
Don't feel like an easy day is
B
．
Alternate easy and hard runs to build strength rapidly.
C
．
Even five minutes of walking is a good way to get started.
D

's because this will naturally help you efficiently channel energy.

“nanodegrees” in, say, self

devices, this nascent market will mainly serve those who already have

No Time
With a broad smile on her lips, 15-year old Sirin rushed to her mom to show off her new
painting. But mom raised her eyebrows with eyes wide open, and spoke in an impatient tone,
“No time, baby. Right now I am busy with an important talk. Just wait for some time,OK?”

Holding her oil painting, she frowned (
皱眉
), and then searched for her dad.
“Dad, see what I have done,” Sirin announced aloud in a thrilling voice. Her dad turned
around while adjusting his tie, grinned at her, and showed his thumbs up!
Immediately, blowing her two cheeks, Sirin replied angril
y, “Dad, you haven’t seen it yet.”

He smiled at her saying, “No time, baby. I will see it later.” He just patted her back lovingly,
kissed her forehead, and rushed for his office.
She was not a kid to be pleased with simple gesture or smile. She stood there for a few
seconds,and then stormed off to her own bedroom. Hot air was blowing from her nostrils (
鼻
孔
); her face turned into apple red. She threw the painting on the table, slammed (
把……砰地
关上
) the door and threw herself on her bed.
“Why is everybody so busy?” She recalled thousands of incidents that hurt her in
pre-school, middle school and even in high school too! She assumed at least her own family
members would give some values to her thoughts, but they were no exception. Unconsciously,
her eyes were filled with tears.
The knocking sound on the door put a sudden brake to her thought. Her mom was calling
her for dinner. Sirin deliberately came late to join them. She kept silent and didn’t look at

anyone, scratching the table mat with her nail. Her mom was puzzled at the unusual behavior.
Suddenly, the morning incident clicked in her mind. Softly, she asked, “Honey, did I do
anything wrong?”
