When I was growing up，I had an old neighbor，Dr. Gibbs．He didn’t look like any 1 I __2 ．He never invited us to play in his yard，but he was a very 3 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 4 them，each baby tree would grow weaker and weaker，so you had to make things difficult for them and __5 the weaker trees early．

He talked about how watered trees grew shallow（浅的）roots，and how trees that weren’t watered had to grow deep roots in search of water 6 the earth by themselves． 7 roots were very important．

So he never watered his trees．He'd planted an oak and， 8 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 9 I left home．Every now and then，I walked by his house and looked at the trees 10 I watched him 11 about twenty-five years ago．They’re very big and strong now．I planted some trees a few years later and carried water to them for a whole summer．After two years of 12 too much，whenever a cold wind blows in，they 13 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 14 somewhere，so 15 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 can face it strongly and won't be beaten down．

I used to be very close to my father when I was a child. He gave me almost everything I wanted. Whenever I quarreled with my mother, I would turn to my father for comfort. He was everything to me.
Time flies like a bird. As I got older, I became silent and found it hard to start a conversation with my father. The gap(代沟) between us began to grow. He had done so much for me but I always took it for granted（理所当然）.
Last time our school gave us two days off, and daddy gave me a ride home on his motorbike. I was tired and fell asleep on his back. Later my mother said he was very happy because it had been a long time since we got close last. Suddenly I felt a little shamed. I realized that I had paid no attention to him a lot during the last few years.
The next day I stayed in bed and when daddy tried to wake me up to have breakfast, I pretended(假装) that I couldn’t hear him. At last he brought a bowl of noodles to my bed, and said, “Come on, dear, have your breakfast and then continue your dream.” I got so angry with him for troubling my sleep that I shouted, “__________.”
As I said this, I sat up quickly, and the bowl of noodles broke on the floor. Hearing the noise, mum came in and shouted at me, “What do you think your father is? Who else treats you as well as he does?”
I was shocked and didn’t know what to say. Finally I rushed with tears all over my face. I went to the pool where I used to go fishing with daddy. A few minutes later, I heard the sound of daddy’s motorbike. He was looking for me worriedly, but he didn’t notice me as I was sitting behind a tall brush.
I didn’t return home until 10 a.m.. The moment my parents saw me, they rushed to me. Mum hugged me tightly and daddy looked at me with worry in his eyes. “Are you hungry, dear?” he said at last. Before I could say anything, he had gone off on his motorbike to buy food for me.
