【题目】Trees should be pruned(修剪)when it is necessary. A good gardener will cut away the overgrown and unwanted branches(树枝). They can make the trees more beautiful and healthier. But sometimes we’d better leave the trees to grow in their own way. Because the inexperienced gardeners will damage(毁坏) the trees.

First pruning may be done to make sure that trees in good shape or size. Maybe people want to get a tree of the right height and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches. Then people can make the tree’s appearance thick or give it a special shape.

Secondly pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cut out diseased or dead branches. The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing branches that are blocking up (封闭)the center and so stopping the free movement of air.

One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy chance for disease but the wound will heal(愈合). Often there is a race between the healing and the disease as to whether the tree will live or die so that there is a period when the tree is in danger. Every gardener should try to reduce that danger of death as soon as possible. It is important to make the area which has been pruned smooth and clean because healing will be slowed down by roughness(粗糙). You should allow the cut surface to dry for a few hours and then pain it with one of the special materials. Pruning is usually done in winter because you can see the shape of the tree clearly and also it is very unlikely(未必的) that the cuts you make will bleed. If this happens it is impossible to paint them properly.

【题目】I remembered Julie coming to the front of the classroom after class one autumn day in September 1976. While most of the other students hurriedly left to enjoy the pleasant weather or to relax at the student union Julie remained to ask me questions about the next week’s exam. She had clearly already done some serious studying.

Julie never made it to the exam. The day after our conversation she was hit by a large truck as she rode a bike through a crossroads. I was sad to hear that Julie lay unconscious (昏迷的) in a hospital across town from our university.

Nurses silently came and went from Julie’s room. Her parents stood nearby quietly. Then the doctor entered the room and said to Julie’s parents and two brothers “Your Julie has only a few hours to live.” He continued to ask “Would you think about donating some of Julie’s organs (器官)?”

At the same time in a neighboring city a woman called Mary was trying to see better in her small living room. Her eyes followed every movement of her lively two-year-old baby. This mother was storing up memories when she could no longer see her child. Several cities away a young father called John was reading to his two sons in the hospital. However he was told to have only weeks to live. His only hope was a kidney transplant (肾脏移植).

The two parents looked at each other the doctor could see tears in their eyes. “Yes. Julie had once said she wanted to donate her organs in the event of her death. Julie always gave to others while she was alive. She would like to give in death.”

Within twenty-four hours Mary was told that she would receive one of Julie’s eyes and John was told to start preparing for a kidney transplant. Julie’s other organs would give life to other waiting patients.

“Julie died right after her twentieth birthday. Nothing could possibly be as heartbreaking as the death of your child says Julie’s mother. She continues “But Julie’s life was a gift to us. Knowing that in her death she gave the gift of life and sight to others is comforting to us.
