When I was growing up,I had an old neighbor,Dr. Gibbs. He didn't look like any doctor I'd ever known. He never invited us to play in his yard,but he was a very kind 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 him why. He said that watering plants spoiled them,and that if you watered them,each baby tree would grow weaker and weaker,so you had to make things difficult for them and pick out the weaker trees early on.

He talked about how watering trees made for shallow(浅的)roots,and how trees that weren't watered had to grow deep roots in search of water under the earth by themselves.

Deep roots were very important. So he never watered his trees- He'd planted an oak,and instead of 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 after I left home. Every now and then ， I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I watched him plant about twenty-five years ago. They're very big and strong now.

I planted some trees a few years back and carried water to them for a whole summer. After two years of caring too much,whenever a cold wind blows in,they shake 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 Fve 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 blowing somewhere,so what 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 could face it strongly and won't be beaten down.
( ) 1. We know from the reading the doctor .

A. didn't know how to plant trees at all

B. wasn't good at his own medical job

C. had his own ways of planting trees

D. had nothing to do but plant trees

A. some weak trees would be easily found out at the beginning

Who Influences Teenagers?

"Teenager" means people from 13 to 19 years old. Although they're young,they have to make many important choices by themselves. They need to think about questions like these ： Should I go to college? What kind of jobs do I want? However,other people also influence their choices. Who influences teenagers? Teenagers were asked this question and here's what they said.

It depends on the kind of choices. When teenagers buy things,friends are the most important influence. This is especially true for clothes and music. TV shows,advertisements and parents also influence teenagers. In more serious things,parents are probably the most important influence. Some teenagers say it's best to regard both parents and friends as influences. James,a seventeen-year-old boy says he's just "a crazy man". He also says, "Parents are really important because they can tell you what's right and wrong.”

But teenagers also feel they need to make choices by themselves―to make their own mistakes. As one teenage girl said, "If our parents don't let us make our own choices,maybe in the future we won't know how to do it. " And they feel friends can also be a big help,and sometimes friends know more about their situation(处境)than their parents do.

Do you depend on parents or others when you decide what to do and how to do it? Whoever you depend on,the correct choice is the most important. Your future is in your hand.

( ) 1. People from 13 to 19 can be called teenagers.

( ) 2. When teenagers buy clothes and music,friends are the most important influence.

( ) 3. TV shows and advertisements can't influence teenagers.

( ) 4. In more serious things,friends are probably the most important influence.

( ) 5. Sometimes friends know more about teenagers' situation than their parents.
