I've been making shawls (披肩) for a few years and giving them away as gifts. I didn't know who would 1 it when I started a new one.
"Did you hear about Susan?" my workmate Lori asked me one day. "She'll have an operation (手术) immediately," Lori said.
"What a 2 time it is for her to get through!" "Maybe the 3 could be given to Susan," I thought to myself with 4 . But I only saw her in meetings, and we'd never had a private 5 . Wouldn't she think it 6 to receive something personal from an unfamiliar workmate?
Anyway, I asked Lori about the 7 of the hospital where Susan was having her operation. And I learned that Susan was well 8 . Friends and family were giving her best wishes. I put the shawl in a box, and sent it with a note, " I hope this brings you 9 ." I signed my name, unsure if Susan would even10 it.
I didn't mention it to anyone else at the office. Not even Lori. I was 11 to learn that Susan had told Lori about the shawl.
"She 12 it even when she went in for the operation," Lori said. "She didn't even let her husband touch it."
"I never expect she 13 my work so much," I said.
"It was not just about your handicraft (手工艺品). It was your message that cheered 14 up." Lori said smilingly. Then I realized my shawl 15 served a higher purpose.
When my daughter was in primary school, she brought home four small twigs(细枝) from school to plant. None of them looked very strong and lively. But with hope for the future, I planted them somewhere in our backyard which could give them enough sunlight. Over the years, because of the poor soil(土壤), three of them died. Only one lived at last.
It grew crooked(不直的) and very slowly. In fact, it looked more like a fat bush than a tree. Later, I noticed that it was starting to die. The branches(树枝) were becoming bare. Only the top third of the tree was still green. I did my best to save it by feeding it a lot of fertilizer, but it didn't work.
Later one morning, I went out and looked at it again. I was thinking if it would be better to just cut it down. It would make the yard look cleaner. As I walked over to take a closer look at it, however, I noticed something moving within the leaves. It was a bird patiently building a nest in the topmost branches. I smiled when I looked at it. I thought maybe this old tree was still useful. It might not be healthy or pretty, but it was still giving a bird a home.
This tree let me know that all of our lives have a purpose. It doesn't matter if we are young and strong or old and sickly. Until our last breath, we have things to do, love to give, and joy to share. We can help to make this world a better and more beautiful place.
Allan is a doctor. He is taking notes about the lifestyles of two children, Angela and Andy.
Angela: The girl looks healthy. She knows how to keep fit. She gets up early even(即使) at week-ends. And enough exercise makes her fit. She doesn't eat fast food very often.
But sometimes she eats snacks between meals. Are most girls greedy(嘴馋的)? She should eat fewer snacks. They are not good for her. She can eat more fruit between meals.
Andy: Andy likes sports. He is good at swimming and football. He does sports for over one hour every day. That makes him fit and strong.
But Andy is a picky eater. He doesn't eat enough meat for meals. So he is not tall. And he has another problem—sleeping in(睡过头,迟起床). He gets up too late on Saturdays and Sundays.
To get enough energy, Andy should get up early and eat more meat.
