The giant Sequoia trees in California grip tightly into the floor,but with shallow root,with little depth.Constantly challenging the natural elements and fighting off destruction,the giant Sequoia is "king of the forest".These trees are so tall and strong that eventually they become their own worst enemy.For you see,the Sequoia can resist lightning, storm,and wind,but eventually their roots cannot support their own weight and strength.After hundreds or thousands of years,they tumble to the ground like giant skyscrapers that have fallen from their bases after powerful explosives are detonated(引爆).

In many ways,many of us are like those giant Sequoias,so proud,so bit,so strong,withstanding wind and fire,yet not allowing our roots to seek deep into life's meaning.Many people have only shallow roots in soft ground,leaving them constantly on the edge of falling over to their destruction.

The first step we should take is to anchor ourselves with the firm intention of establishing strong roots of life and belief.We must trust the ground we stand on,and allow ourselves to plant the rich seeds of passion into our life's soil,nurturing it with the rain of love and joy,then allowing the fertilizer to soak into the very "veins" of the roots, leading to the trunk's healthy development.We've all seen many men with a strong trunk but no roots.They place the material dimension of wealth and finance above their own roots and foundational beliefs.They become so heavy with possessions,money,and the burden of wealth that they finally fall over as the giant Sequoia uproots itself and self-destructs.

Some creative people see colors when they hear different sounds. Others hear voices when they see words and numbers. What they experience is called synaesthesia(通感)。

A study at the University of Sussex in the UK is finding out how to use synacsthesia to improve your IQ and memory. The study leaders Danil Bor has been working on exploring memory for a number of year. Bor says that carrying out these tests has given them the opportunity to find out more about how we use different kinds of memory.

Bor based his latest research on something scientists already know a lot about “chunks”. He explains that this is a way of parceling out large pieces of information into smaller units (chunks), with certain features or meanings, to make it easier to remember.” When I gave you my phone number, 01274737271, you probably remember it as 012-74-73-72-71, or something similar. If you can remember 012 and then 74, you can remember the rest by its features. You can get some amazing benefits from chunks.”

In this way, synacesthesia adds extra meaningful information to things that are different to remember, such as letters, numbers, or colors. This helps us remember things betters.” All these signs are pointing towards synaesthesia being connected to greater abilities to do certain things, certain jobs.” says Bor. “So, the study began as a way to test that.”

They wanted to see if they could create a way to learn about synaesthesia, and use its benefits to help everyone. In the study, they trained volunteers for 10 minutes a day for a week. The results were not huge, but impressive.

They discovered that after training, the volunteers were able to pass the normal synaesthesia tests and their IQ jumped up about 12 points. Although Bor believes they still need to test the increase in IQ with different groups of people, the result is very impressive. “It’s very useful to increases people’s IQs. Even when the group are already quite clever, like the students who take part in this study.” he said.

Does every important present come in a big package? As the holiday season approaches, most of us are looking for the perfect gift, ready to give whatever we can afford, hoping to please the ones we love.

This morning, my son responded to my e?mail, in which I had mentioned his Christmas list. To my surprise, he didn't tell me what was on his list—rather he opted to tell what was not, such as more sweaters or button?downs.

“I have 3x more of shirts than I could ever possibly wear,” he wrote.

I laughed, not only at my silly assumption but also at the frank and sensitive way he'd told me I'd been missing the boat. In my attempts to be generous, I'd merely been repetitive.

It hurts to admit this naturally, but the truth is that if I'd been visiting him more frequently, I'd know he has too many shirts in his drawers with the tags still on them. But because he is living so far away, I just don't know what exactly he wears on a daily basis.

Perhaps if I paid him and his wife a visit, we could share takeout in their apartment. Laugh together. Talk about something. It would be a big gift in a small package, requiring only a plane flight and some time.

Of course, this present could come at any time of the year. I am thinking about the idea now because it's December, when thinking about perfect presents for those we love occupies our thoughts quite a bit. We are troubling ourselves with the idea of perfection, sometimes losing sight of the point of it all, which is simply to make one another happy.

So maybe under our Christmas tree this year there will be a package wrapped in red and green with my son's name on it. Inside will be a plane ticket to JFK in my name. Wouldn't that be perfect?

1.What did the author realize after reading her son's e?mail?

A. Her son didn't think she was generous.

B. She ignored her son's inner feelings.

C. She missed out her son's development.

D. She didn't buy her son proper presents.

2.Which of following can best replace the underlined word “opted” in Paragraph 2?

A. Chose. B. Promised.

C. Refused. D. Pretended.

3.What might be the best title for the passage?

A. Small presents also count B. Presents—symbol of love

C. Big presents in little packages D. Presents—a bond between people
