题目内容
13.One of my neighbors used to have a beautiful tree in her front yard.Her dad had planted it for her when it was nothing more than a twig and several years later it started to shoot towards the sky with amazing speed.Soon it blessed her with cooling shade in the summer and glorious,golden leaves in the fall.When the two-day snowstorm struck our town,heavy snow fell on the tree's branches that were still full of leaves.The weight split (劈叉) that lovely tree down the middle.It was so sad seeing half of it laying on the ground after the storm.When I talked to my neighbor later,she said that the damage had been too much and that the entire tree would have to be cut down.Thankfully she had saved a few saplings(树苗) from it that she hoped to replant in the future.
Still,it was a shock to drive by her house the other day and see nothing but a stump(树桩) in her front yard.I missed that tree.I missed its beauty,its leaves shinning in the afternoon sun.I missed seeing its limbs reach towards the heavens.I thought that the stump would be a sad reminder of its loss for a long time to come.My wonderful neighbor,though,had another plan.When I drove by her home today I saw a tiny bird feeder sitting on that stump and a colorful songbird having its dinner.It was such an affirmation of life.It was such a joy to see.I could feel my heart smile.
Life by its very nature is a mixed bag.It hands us both beauty and tragedy,love and loss,pleasure and pain.What we do with it,however,is up to us.We can let it split us in two,or we can use even its hardest times to make our souls stronger and our hearts more loving.We can spend it complaining or we can use it to help others.
