     A rich man was once riding along the road and saw an old man digging in his garden. On the ground lay
a young tree, ready to be planted. The rich man called out to the old man, "What kind of tree are you planting
there, my good man?" 　　
     "This is a fig (无花果) tree, sir." he said. 　　
     "A fig tree?" the rich man was very surprised. "Why, how old are you, may I ask?" 　　
     "I am ninety years old." 　　
     "What!" cried the rich man. "You're ninety years old. You are planting a very young tree now and it'll take
years to give fruit. You certainly don't hope to live long enough to get any fruit from this tree." The old man
looked around the garden. Then he said with a smile, "Tell me, sir. Did you eat figs when you were a boy?"
"Sure." the rich man did not know why he asked this question. "Then tell me this," he said, "Who planted the
fig trees?" "Why? I don't know." "You see, sir," went on the old man, "Our ancestors planted trees for us to
enjoy and I am doing the same for the people after me." 　　
     The rich man was quiet and said, "You are right, my good man. We should do some good things for the

　 So even as I worked after graduation in a few 41 jobs here in New York, even as I went from motley (鱼龙混杂的)apartment to motley apartment, I 42 .

　 … And I wish I could say that this perseverance came from some innate (天生的)toughness in me. But the truth is, it was 43 . I got it from 44 the people who raised me. I grew up as the son of a single mom who struggled to put herself through 45 and make ends meet. She had a marriage that fell apart; 46 went on food stamps at one point to help us 47 . But she didn’t quit. And she earned her degree, and made sure that 48 scholarships and hard work, my sister and I earned 49 .

And 50 , I met a woman who was assigned to advise me on my first summer job at a law firm. And she gave me such good advice that I married her. And Michelle and I gave everything we had to balance our careers and a 51 family. We made that marriage work.

　　Construction workers in Southern California have made a wild discovery．They were digging at a building site in San Timoteo Canyon(峡谷)when they unearthed hundreds of ancient animal fossils．Researchers say the bones hold important clues about the history of the region．

　　Nearly 1, 500 fossils were recovered from the dusty canyon．The remains are about 1．4 million years old．They include the bones of a new species of deer, several small rodents(啮齿目动物)and more．A giant cat fossil was also found．Scientists believe the animal was an ancestor of the saber- toothed tiger．Signs of plant life were uncovered as well．

　　“This is a huge find,” says Rick Greenwood, a scientist studying the site．“I don’t think most people had any idea that those types of animals were wandering around here more than a million years ago．”

　　San Timoteo Canyon is located about 85 miles from Los Angeles．The area of the canyon where the fossils were found was once part of a green river valley．Today, the region is dry and plant life is rare．

　　Most of the fossils are well preserved．Experts say a muddy lake bed may have trapped thirty animals that wandered over for a drink．The mud helped to protect the animal fossils．

　　The remains are a million years older than those discovered at the famous La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles．Scientists studying the bones will be able to learn more about how the animals adapted to changes in the environment．

　　“We have a confused view of what this time period was like, ” says another scientist．“A discovery like this could really be an important contribution．”

　　About 35 different animal species are represented in the fossil collection．Scientists began removing bones from the site last fall．The project was completed this summer．Starting next year, the fossils will be on display at the Western Science Center in the nearby city of Hemet, California．
