Don’t Wait Until Flowers Fade

Each spring brings a new blossom of wildflowers in the ditches (路沟) along the highway I travel daily to work.

There is one 　 　 blue flower that has always 　 　 my eye. I’ve noticed that it blooms only in the morning hours, and the afternoon sun is too warm 　 　 it. Every day for approximately two weeks, I see those beautiful 　 　 .

This spring, I started a wildflower garden in our yard. I can look out of the 　 　 window while doing the dishes and see the flowers. I’ve often thought that those lovely blue flowers from the ditch would look 　 　 in that bed alongside 　 　 wildflowers.

Everyday I drove 　 　 the flowers thinking, “I’ll stop on my way home and dig them.” “Gee, I don’t want to get my good clothes　 　 　 ...” Whatever the reason, I never stopped to dig them. My husband 　 　 gave me a folding shovel(铁锹) one year to be used for that 　 　 purpose.

One day on my way home from work, I was 　 　 to see that the highway department had moved the ditches and the pretty blue flowers were gone. I thought to myself, “Way to go, you 　 　 too long. You 　 　 it when you first saw them blooming this spring.”

A week ago we were shocked and saddened to learn that my oldest sister-in-law has a terminal brain tumor(脑瘤晚期). She is 20 years older than my husband and 　 　 , because of age and distance, we haven’t been as 　 　 as we all would have liked.

I couldn’t help but see the 　 　 between the pretty blue flowers and the　 　 between my husband’s sister and us. I do believe that God has given us some time left to plant some valuable 　 　 that will bloom every year for us.

And yes, if I see the blue flowers again, you can bet I'll stop and 　 　 them to my wildflower garden

Do you often feel tired? Is it really because of the large amount of mental work you do? Here is an astonishing and significant fact: Mental work alone can’t make us tired. It sounds absurd. But a few years ago, scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue (疲劳). To the amazement of these scientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all! If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer, we would find it full of fatigue toxins(毒素) and fatigue products. But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein, it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day.

So far as the brain is concerned, it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of effort as at the beginning. The brain is totally tireless. So what makes us tired?

Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional attitudes. One of England’s most outstanding scientists, J.A. Hadfield, says, “The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin. In fact, fatigue of purely physical origin is rare.” Dr. Brill, a famous American scientist, goes even further. He declares, “One hundred percent of the fatigue of a sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems.”

What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired? Joy? Satisfaction? No! A feeling of being bored, anger, anxiety, tenseness, worry, a feeling of not being appreciated —— those are the emotions that tire sitting workers. Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue. We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.

1.What surprised the scientists a few years ago?

A. Fatigue toxins could hardly be found in a laborer’s blood.

B. The brain could work for many hours without fatigue.

C. Albert Einstein didn’t feel worn out after a day’s work.

D. A mental worker’s blood was filled with fatigue toxins.

2.According to the author, which of the following can make sitting workers tired?

A. Unpleasant emotions.

B. Challenging mental work.

C. Endless tasks.

D. Physical labor.

3.What’s the author’s attitude towards the scientists’ ideas?

A. He doubts them.

B. He argues against them.

C. He agrees with them.

D. He hesitates to accept them.

4.We can infer from the passage that in order to stay energetic, sitting workers need　　　 to ___________.

A. discover fatigue toxins

B. have some good food

C. exercise regularly

D. enjoy their work

Light for the City

Edison and his assistants came to New York to set up an electric power system. They hoped it would provide enough electricity to light up a part of the great city.

They bought several machines with them. These were called generators(发电机), which produced electricity power for lamps in Edison’s building.

Soon there were lights for the building. Edison lived in a room facing the street and he often worked over night. The light burned brightly and steadily and he often worked over night. People often came and stopped their horse-drawn carriage to look. Everyone knew that Thomas Edison was in town.

First, the inventor and his assistants produced several large generators. A great deal of power would be needed to light up even a small part of the city. Then the workers were busy digging deep trenches in the hard earth below the city streets, and Edison had fourteen miles of wire laid into the trenches. The wire connected each building to a generator.

Setting up an electric power system was not an easy job. It took a year and a half. In September, 1882, the job was finished.

A small group of men stood around Edison inside the power house. The big moment came at last. The inventor, taking a deep breath, pulled a switch. The electric lights flashed up.

“Very good! Very good!” a man nearby shouted to praise Edison for what he had done.

“Sir,” said Edison, “this is only the beginning!” And Edison was right. Soon Edison’s lamp were lighting up cities all over the world.

1.The generators they brought with them could produce as much as electricity as ______ needed.

2.Trenches were dug to ______.

3.It took a year and a half to ______.

4.Edison took a deep breath before pulling a switch, which showed that he was ______.

Bernstein had been appointed Assistant Conductor for the New York philharmonic only a few months before that night. Just 25 years old, he was relatively inexperienced. At the last minute, Bernstein was told he was to take Walter’s place, so he didn’t have any time to rehearse（排演）. The music he was going to conduct was very difficult. Plus, the concert was going to be broadcast nationally on the radio. Despite all these pressures, Bernstein rose to the occasion and received a standing ovation（长久的鼓掌）at the end of the concert. The event made national headlines, and Bernstein became famous overnight.

Some people feel they do their best under the most stressful circumstances. What was it about Leonard Bernstein that made him do so well in such a difficult situation?

Perhaps Leonard Bernstein did so well because music was his devotion. The son of a man who supplied hairdressing products, Bernstein became interested in music at the age of 10. By the time he was a teenager, he was performing in public. He became a soloist of the Boston Public School Orchestra, and for 13 weeks in 1934, he played classics on the radio.

1.The underlined word “break” in the first paragraph means “__________”.

2.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the second paragraph?

3.Leonard Bernstein was successful at the concert because of __________.
