There was only one thing in the garden that the king hated：an old tree in the center of the garden．It was so old and dry．This made the king so angry that he finally asked some people to cut it down and turned the place into a swimming pool．However，after the tree was cut down，the animals left the garden．Without the animals，the garden was not so beautiful as before．The king was sad，but he didn't know what had happened．
A young man went to the king，and said he could explain what had happened．"This was because you cut the old tree down，"said the young man．"There were thousands of moths （飞蛾）which lived in the tree．Birds needed the moths to eat and then they produced wastes for plants to grow．The plants then attracted many other animals to your garden．So your garden became very beautiful．But as you cut the tree down，the animals had to leave．"
"Excellent!"said the king，"I'll make you rich and you will try to make my garden beautiful again．"

12．We all know that exercise is good for your health．But some kinds of exercise may be better than others．Running，for example，may help to protect against heart disease and other health problems．Running may also help you live longer．
Recently，researchers studied more than 55，000adults．About a quarter of the adults have a good habit of running．The study found these runners were much healthier than non-runners．In fact，the runners lived，on average（平均），three years longer than the non-runners．
Running may be good exercise，but it can be difficult on the body．Here are commonly shared ideas among fitness experts（健身专家） to lower the risk of injury（受伤） for people who are new to running．
⊙Take it easy．
Do not run too much，too soon or too fast．Most people get running injuries when they push themselves too hard．The body needs time to get used to increases in distance（里程） or speed．
⊙Get good running shoes．
There is no single best shoe for every runner．You should find the shoe that offers the best fit and support for your feet．More importantly，you should have a new pair of shoes every 500to 800kilometers．
⊙Take good notes．
Take time after each run to write down notes about what you did and how you felt．Look for things that happen again and again．For example，you may find that your knees hurt when you run sometimes．But perhaps you feel great when you have a rest between running days．These notes will help you make the best plan for running．

6．A few years ago，Masaru Ibuka，the head of Sony，was at a company planning meeting．Suddenly he had an idea．He stopped the meeting and asked everyone what would happen if Sony took away the recording function（功能） and speakers and sold headphones with a tape player instead．Almost everyone thought he was silly．Still，Ibuka kept his idea and worked at it．The result，of course，turned out to be the successful Sony Walkman．
Good ideas often start with a really silly question．Bill Bowerman was making breakfast one day．As he stood there making cakes for his son，he asked himself what would happen if he put rubber into his mold（模具）．Later，he tried it and the result was something like the bottom of most sports shoes we see today．Still，when he took this idea to several shoe companies，he was laughed at．In fact，every single company turned him down．Though rather disappointed，Bowerman went on to set up his own company，making NIKE sports shoes．
We know today that each of these ideas caused a successful thing that has changed the way many of us live．The best questions are usually open-ended and are often"silly"．Children aren't afraid to ask such questions，but adults usually are．Think how different the world might be if people never asked"silly"questions!
