Time is something that we all are taking for granted these days. We spend hours watching TV or playing mobile games, thinking that this is just normal. I find this a waste of time. Every second is valuable and we should rethink of ways of spending our time.
Firstly, spend time in doing things that really matter. Spend time with your family and friends. Enjoy a nice hot meal and eat it slowly. Give yourself time to play and spend enough time in sleeping. But the truth is the little things matter most in life.
Secondly, you have to know what is done cannot be undone. Do not allow your mind to stay in the past. Every day is a new adventure. It may not be an opportunity like an immediate get-rich chance, but it may be an opportunity for new experiences.
If you have only one chance to do something for someone, why not do it to the best of your ability? It should not matter whether you are being rewarded or not. You will take pride in your work because you've done your best. Trust me, quality efforts will be rewarded in time.
Lastly, every moment you spend in doing things is the time taken from your life. Don't waste your time away working day and night just for money. The value of your time is measured by how you spend it and whom you choose to spend it with.
A. You will get whatever you want from working.
B. Spend more time on the important tasks instead of time-wasters.
C. Do your best in every task as if the world will end tomorrow
D. That is not your life's worth.
E. It is hours of our lives that we can never get back.
F. Little things like this may seem meaningless.
G. You have to keep your eyes and ears open to the new opportunity.
The art of growing dwarf trees, or "bonsai"（盆景） as their Japanese planters call them, is increasing in popularity in the United States. Growing bonsai can make a fascinating hobby for anyone who enjoys plants and creating beautiful effects with them.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}．
In growing bonsai, in fact, one must be careful in choosing the type of tree, as the growing conditions are unusual.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}．Varieties of pines with small needles and hardwood trunks are especially suitable.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#}This is necessary because the major growth of bonsai is kept confined(被限制) to the tree's trunk and leaves, not its root system-a process quite unlike what is done with other plants.
Another thing the bonsai-grower must do is to trim （修整） the roots and branches of the tree periodically （定期地）. Unless this is done, the plants will not have the proper proportions(比例) and will look unnatural.{#blank#}4{#/blank#}
The last thing one must do is to be careful to keep the tree well-watered. Because bonsai are grown in smaller-than-usual containers, they often need more water than ordinary houseplants do.
As can be seen from the above, the art of bonsai-growing is one which requires a certain amount of time and effort.{#blank#}5{#/blank#}Imagine having such a tree in your living room and passing it down through several generations of your family. That is exactly what bonsai-growing is all about: establishing a tradition of beauty which lasts for years and years and is a symbol of the beauties of the natural world.
A. Then one must be careful in choosing the size of the container. B. How can we meet the goal of making such a kind of art? C. Why do so many people take a fancy to the art of bonsai-growing. D. But one must get well prepared before starting bonsai-growing. E. The satisfactions that growing bonsai brings can be great, however. F. The ideal for bonsai plants are trees just like normal trees in everything but size. G. Not all species of trees can be made into bonsai. |
