And 15 of the 18 awards went to students from China.170 students’ task: to get a fully-designed blog up and running, complete with many postings based on a theme of choice—all written in Chinese.Themes ranged from local opinions—such as the usage of Singlish, education and whether Singapore can be a cultural centre—to food blogs. The entries were judged on Language proficiency (熟练程度) and the quality of writing, as well as the design and level of exchanging ideas with readers.Academics from the National University of Singapore and the SIM University, IT experts, and a journalist from Chinese newspaper Lianhe Zaobao in Singapore made up the judges.In the end, only three Singaporean students made it to the award list—the rest of the awards were swept up by students from China.“No surprise.” said Mr. Chow Yaw Long, 37, teachers in charge from Innova Junior College, which organized the event. “Although the topics were local subjects, the foreign students were generally better in terms of the content of the posts and their grasp of the Chinese language.”One of the three local students winning the first prize in the Best Language Award was blogger Christina Gao, 19, from the Saint Andrew’s Junior College, who spared no effort in researching for and writing her blog. Each entry took her between five and seven days to produce, complete with pictures and even podcasts (播客).Her advice for bloggers is: Be responsible.“Some bloggers out ther e only seek to blame the authorities and other bloggers.” said Miss Gao. “I think they lack responsibilities and there is no value to their posts.”21. The competition was organized by _______.A. the National University of SingaporeB. Chinese newspaper Lianhe ZaobaoC. Innova Junior CollegeD. the Saint Andrew’s Junior College22. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Chinese students won most of the awards.B. Not all the themes were about local subjectsC. The blogs could be written in Chinese or Singlish.D. The judges were from universities in Singapore and China.23. What Miss Gao said suggests that _______.A. she likes to blame the authoritiesB. she has a sense of responsibilityC. she thinks highly of the other s’ blogsD. she loves to read valuable posts24. The passage in mainly about _______.A. how Chinese students won the awards in the competitionB. why bloggers should take responsibility for their blogsC. how Miss Gao won the first prize in the competitionD. what the result of the competition wasBForeign drivers will have to pay on-the-spot fines of up to ￡900 for breaking the traffic law to be carried our next month.If they do not have enough cash or a working credit card, their vehicles will clamped (扣留) until they pay—and they will face an additional fee of ￡80 for getting back their vehicles .The law will also apply to British citizens. The fines will be described officially as “deposits” when the traffic law takes effects, because the money would be returned if the driver went to court and was found not guilty. In practice, very few foreign drivers are likely to return to Britain to deal with their cases.Foreign drivers are rarely charged because police cannot take action against them if they fail to appear in court. Instead, officers often merely give warnings.Three million foreign-registered vehicles enter Britain each year. Polish vehicles s make up 36 percent, French vehicles 10 percent and German vehicles 9 percent.Foreign vehicles are 30 percent more likely to be in a crash than British-registered vehicles. The number of crashes caused by foreign vehicles rose by 47 percent between 2003 and 2008. There were almost 400 deaths and serious injuries and 3,000 slight injuries from accidents caused by foreign vehicles in 2008.The new law is partly intended to settle the problem of foreign lorry drivers ignoring limits on weight and hours at the wheel. Foreign lorries are three times more likely to be in a crash than British Lorries. Recent spot checks found that three quarters of lorries that failed safety tests were registered overseas.The standard deposit for a careless driving offence—such as driving too close to the vehicle in front or reading a map at the wheel—will be ￡300. Deposits for speeding offences and using mobile phones will be ￡60. Foreign drivers will not get points as punishment added to their licenses, while British drivers will.25. The first paragraph serves as a(n) _______.A. explanationB. introductionC. commentD. background.26. The foreign drivers who break the traffic law and do not pay on the spot are likely to be fined up to _______.A. ￡60B. ￡300C. ￡900D. ￡98027. We can learn from the passage that _______.A. many foreign drivers have been fined by Britain policeB. 300,000 German vehicles enter Britain every yearC. 25 percent of foreign vehicles entering Britain have failed safety testsD. British drivers will be punished with points and fines for breaking the traffic law28. The new traffic law is mainly intended to _______.A. limit the number of foreign vehicles entering BritainB. increase the British government’s additional incomeC. lower the rate of traffic accidents and injuriesD. get foreign drives to appear in count CWe already know the fastest, least expensive way to slow climate change: Use less energy. With a little effort, and not much money, most of us could reduce our energy diets by 25 percent or more—doing the Earth a favor while also helping our wallets.Not long ago, my wife, PJ, and I tried a new diet—not to lose a little weight but to answer an annoying question about climate change. Scientists have reported recently that the world is heating up even faster than predicted only a few years ago, and that the consequences could be severe if we don’t keep reducing emissions（排放）of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases that are trapping heat in our atmosphere.We decided to try an experiment. For one month we recorded our personal emissions of CO2. We wanted to see how much we could cut back, so we went on a strict diet. The average US household (家庭) produces about 150 pounds of CO2 a day by doing common-place things like turning onair-conditioning or driving cars. That’s more than twice the Europea n average and almost five times the global average, mostly because Americans drive more and have bigger houses. But how much should we try to reduce?For an answer, I checked with Tim Flannery, author of The Weather Makers: How Man Is Changing the Climate and What It Means for Life on Earth. Inhis book, he had challenged readers to make deep cuts in personal emissions to keep the world from reaching extremely important tipping points, such as the melting（融化）of the ice sheets in Greenland or West Antarctica. “To stay below that point, we need to reduce CO2 emissions by 80 percent,” he said.Good advice, I thought. I’d opened our bedroom windows to let in the wind. We’d gotten so used to keeping our air-conditioning going around the clock. I’d almost forgott en the windows even opened. We should not let this happen again. It’s time for us to change our habits if necessary.29. Why did the author and his wife try a new diet?A. To take special kinds of food.B. To respond to climate change.C. To lose weight.D. To improve their health.30. The underlined words “tipping points” most probably referto .A. freezing pointsB. burning pointsC. melting pointsD. boiling points31. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A. it is necessary to keep the air-conditioning on all the timeB. it seems possible for every household to cut emissions of CO2C. the average US household produces about 3,000 pounds of CO2 a monthD. the average European household produces about 1,000 pounds of CO2 a month32. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?A. Saving Energy Starts at homeB. Changing Our Habits Begins at WorkC. Changing Climate Sounds ReasonableD. Reducing Emissions of CO2 Proves Difficult一、完形填空1—5 CBDAD 6—10 CABAC11—15 DCDAB 16—20 BCABB二、阅读理解21—25 CABDB 26—30 DDCBC31—32 BA。

After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog’s legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future. But the dream didn’t last long.The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around lately.The villagers decided that they couldn’t just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides (杀虫剂) and medicines. Soon there was no money left.Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn’t been useless. They had been doing an important job — eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.56.

定额市鞍钢阳光实验学校沭阳中学阅读理解专项训练5AAlthough he will always be remembered for portraying “Superman,” the greatest role of actor Christopher Reeve’s life was as a champion of sufferers of spinal cord （脊椎） injuries and an advocate of stem cell （干细胞） research.Unlike the man of steel, he wasn’t faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than an engine and he couldn’t leap tall buildings in a single bound. But the courage and determination Reeve displayed in trying to overcome his paralysis （瘫痪） from a 1995 horse-riding accident went beyond any of the achievements of the comic book hero.“He became a real-life Superman. His heroism, his courage was extraordinary,” Colin Blakemore, the chief executive of Britain’s Medical Research Council said. “Like many people who su ffer some terrible injuries, Christopher Reeve was totally changed by that experience and brought the kind of energy and enthusiasm that made him successful as a film star to an entirely different issue, with huge effect.”Reeve, 52, died of heart failure on October 10, 2004 after having treatment for an infected pressure wound without realizing his dream of walking again. But in the nine years since his accident, he made personal progress to regain respect and admiration, established the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation, a non-profit research organization, and used his fame to raise millions of dollars for research into spinal cord injuries.He also provided hope and inspiration to other patients and made speeches to support scientists to be allowed to conduct stem cell research in the hopes of eventually curing paralysis and other illnesses such as diabetes and Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.“He has been our champion. If you think of spinal injuries, you automatically recall a picture of Christo pher Reeve,” said Paul Smith, executive director of the Spinal Injuries Association in England. It is because of Reeve that spinal cord injuries and stem cell research are so widely discussed, according to Smith. The fact that it happened to Reeve showed it can affect anyone, even Superman.Reeve did not live long enough to see whether stem cell research could help restore movement to the paralyzed. The research is still in its early days and no one knows what advances it may bring.41. Which of the following words can best describe the characteristics of Reeve?A. strong-willed and caringB. tough and persuasiveC. caring and reliableD. sympathetic and considerate42. The purpose of paragraph 2 is to show us that ______.A. Reeve was not as capable as the image he acted in his filmB. the image of Superman created by Reeve will always be rememberedC. Reeve is no more than an ordinary person when he was faced with paralysisD. the inspiring image in Reeve’s real life was even greater than that in his film43. Reeve made the following contributions to the scientific research except______.A. setting up a non-profit research organizationB. winning public respect and admiration by overcoming obstaclesC. influencing the world by making speeches on stem cell researchD. struggling for the permission to conduct stem cell researchBSummer School for Effective Leadership 2014The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups （HKFYG） partners with 2 world-class universities, The University of Hong Kong （HKU） and The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology （HKUST） to offer you the best international summer schools in town!

Which is the common aim between an Overture to Global Leadership and the Art of Public Speaking?A. Strengthening critical thinkingB. Promoting intercultural awarenessC. Improving public speakingD. Developing problem solving abilityCElderly women who eat foods higher in potassium （钾） are less likely to have strokes and die than women who eat less potassium-rich foods, according to new research in the American Heart Association. “Previous studies have shown that potassium consumption may lower blood pressure. But whether potassium intake could prevent stroke （中风） or death wasn’t clear,” said Smoller,professor of the department of population health at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, NY.Researchers studied 90,137 women, aged from 50 to 79 for an average 11 years. They looked at how much potassium the women consumed, as well as if they had strokes, including ischemic strokes （缺血性中风）, or died during the study period. Women in the study were stroke-free at the start and their average dietary potassium intake was 2,611 mg/day. Results of this study are based on potassium from food, not supplements.The researchers found: Women who ate the most potassium were 12 percent less likely to suffer stroke in general and 16 percent less likely to suffer an ischemic stroke than women who ate the least. Women who ate the most potassium were 10 percent less likely to die than those who ate the least. Among women who did not have high blood pressure, those who ate the most potassium had a 27 percent lower ischemic stroke risk and 21 percent reduced risk for all stroke types, compared to women who ate the least potassium in their daily diets. Among women with high blood pressure, those who ate the most potassium had a lower risk of death, but potassium intake did not lower their stroke risk.“Our findings suggest that women need to eat more potassium-rich foods. You won’t find high potassium in junk food. Some foods rich in potassium include white and sweet potatoes, bananas and white beans.”The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends that women eat at least 4,700 mg of potassium daily. “Only 2.8 percent of women in our study met or went beyond this level. The World Health Organization’s daily potassium recommendation for women is lower, at 3,510 mg or more. Still, only 16.6 percent of women we studied met or went beyond that,” said Smoller.While increasing potassium intake is probably a good idea for most elderly women, there are some people who have too much potassium in their blood, which can be dangerous to the heart. “People should check with their doctor about how much potassium they should eat,” she said.The study was observational and included only elderly women. Researchers also did not take sodium （钠） intake into consideration, so the potential importance of a balance between sodium and potassium is not among the findings. Researchers said more studies are needed to determine whether potassium has the same effects on men and younger people.50. The benefits of potassium intake to elderly women do not include ______.A. preventing strokesB. reducing heart attacksC. cutting down death risksD. lowering blood pressure51. Which of the following figure meets the daily potassium intakerecommendation of the World Health Organization?A. 4,000 mgB. 3,500 mgC. 3,000 mgD. 2,500 mg52. What conclusion can be drawn from the research findings?A. Increasing potassium is definitely a good idea for all elderly women.B. Elderly women with high blood pressure benefit more from potassium.C. Potassium intake is more beneficial to those without high blood pressure.D. There was not any association between potassium intake and ischemicstrokes.53. It can be learned from the passage that ______.A. Results of the research were based on potassium from medicineB. Researchers gave different amounts of potassium to the elderly womenC. Elderly women need to keep a balance between sodium and potassium intakeD. The effects of potassium intake on men and younger people are not yet known54. The author’s purpose for writing this passage is to ______.A. present a report on a new researchB. show the importance of a good life styleC. give information about a chemical elementD. encourage elderly women to take potassiumD“I never did hate the Yankees（北方佬）. All that I hated was the war...”That’s how my great-aunt Bettie began her story. I heard it many times as a child, whenever my family visited Aunt Bettie in the old house in Berryville, Virginia.Bettie Van Metre had good reason to hate the Civil War. Her brother was killed at Gettysburg, and her husband, James, a Confederate （南方联盟） officer, was taken prisoner and sent to an unknown prison camp somewhere.One day in late September, Dick came to Bettie reporting that he had found a wounded Union soldier in a farmhouse half a mile away from the Van Metre home. When talking about her first sight of the man in the blood-spotted blue uniform, she always used the same words. “It was like walking into a nightmare: those awful bandages, that terrible smell.”She went out into the cool air, trying not to be sick at the thought of that smashed right hand, that missing left leg.The man’s papers Bettie found in the farmhouse showed his identity: Henry Bedell, 30 years old. She knew that she should report the presence of this Union officer to the Confederate army, but she wouldn’t. This is how she explained it: “I kept wondering if he had a wife somewhere, hoping, and not knowing—just as I was. It seemed to me that the only thing that mattered was to get her husband back to her.”Slowly, patiently, skillfully, Aunt Bettie fanned the spark of life in Henry Bedell. Of drugs or medicines she had almost none. And she was not willing to take any from the few supplies at the Confederate hospital. But she did the best she could with what she had.The October nights in the valley grew cold. With the help of Dick and his wife, she moved the Union officer at night, to a hidden room above the warm kitchen of her own home. But the next day, Bedell had a high fever. Knowing that she must get help, she went to her family doctor, Graham Osborne. Dr. Osborne examined Bedell and said, “there was littlehope unless proper medicines could be found.”“I’ll get them from the Yankees at Harpers Ferry.” Bettie said. The doctor told her that Harpers Ferry was almost 20 miles away. Even if she reached them, the Yankees would never believe her. “I’ll take proof,” Bettie said. She found a blood-spotted paper bearing the official War Department seal （印章）. “When I show it, they’ll believe me.”Early the next morning she set off with a list of medical items. For five hours she drove, stopping only to rest her horse. The sun was almost down when she finally stood before the general at Harpers Ferry. The general listened, but did not believe her. “Madam,” he said, “Bedell’s death was reported to us.”“He’s alive,” Bettie insisted. “But he won’t be much longer unless he has the medicines on that list.”“Well,” the general turned to a junior officer, “see that Mrs. Van Metre gets the supplies.”With the medicines, Bedell gradually recovered. Ten days later he was walking with sticks. “I’d better go back as soon as possible.”Bedell told Bettie. So it was arranged that Dick should help Bettie deliver Bedell to Harpers Ferry in his wagon. Bedell lay down in a box filled with hay, his rifle and sticks beside him.At Harpers Ferry, the soldiers were amazed when the Union officer with the missing leg rose from his hay-filled box. Bedell told the story to Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton, who wrote a letter of thanks to Bettie and signed an order to free James Van Metre. It was arranged for Bedell to go with Bettie as she searched for her husband. Records showed that a James Van Metre had been sent to a prison camp in Ohio. Then at Fort Delaware, near the end of the line of prisoner, a tall man stepped out and walked clumsily into Bettie’s arms. Bettie held him, tears streaming down her face. And Henry Bedell, standing by on his sticks, wept, too.55. What might be Bettie’s tone when she used the underlined sentence to describe the first sight of Henry Bedell?A. Pessimistic.B. Desperate.C. Shocked.D. Sympathetic.56. Why wouldn’t Bettie report the presence of Bedell to the Confederate army?A. Because she felt it her responsibility to save soldiers of the Union.B. Because she wanted to save Bedell so that her husband could be freed.C. Because Bedell was more a suffering human being than an enemy to Bettie.D. Because Bedell begged Bettie not to give him away to the Confederate army.57. Dr. Osborn thought it was ______ of Bettie Van Metre to drive to Harpers Ferry for the medicines.A. crazyB. kindC. braveD.smart58. Still recovering, Henry Bedell decided to leave as soon as possible mainly because ______.A. he was eager to return to the Union to fightB. he didn’t want to go on putting Bettie in dangerC. he was concerned about his safety at the Van Metre homeD. he could be treated with better medicines back at Harpers Ferry59. Rearrange the following statements in terms of time order.a. Bettie’s husband was found and freed.b. Bettie helped deliver Bedell back to Harpers Ferry.c.

The lizard （蜥蝎）likes to sleep at the far end of small branches hanging out over a pond or lake in the rain forest. If a snake tries to slither up the branch to eat it ,it will shake the branch and knock the lizard off ,and the lizardwill fall safely into the water. Chameleons can change color to match their surroundings in order to hide even while sleeping.Corillas（大猩猩）like to sleep high in the trees. They build a new bed every night, sometimes taking up to half an hour to pile branches ,twigs ,and leaves into a comfortable bed .Birds also find it safe to sleep in the trees, but unless they have eggs or young chicks ,they don’t use a nest .They just lock their feet around a branch and hang on .A special tendon（腱）in their legs in automatically tight when they are at rest ,so they won’t let go and fall.Dolphins live underwater ,but must come to the surface to breather .Scientists now believe that dolphins may sleep with only half their brain, while the other half stays awake to keep them safe and breathing. Seals also do this ,lying on their sides on the surface of the water with one flipper underwater paddling to keep their noses above the surface. Some ducks may also have this ability, and actually sleep with one eye closed and one eye open.56．How many animals are mentioned in this passage?A．6. B．7. C．8. D．9.57．How does a chameleon protect itself while sleeping?A．By changing its body colors. B．By hinging out over a pond.C．By sleeping with half their brain. D．By making beds with branches.58．Why will not birds fall when they are at rest?A．They build nests and sleep in them. B．They fall asleep automatically.C．They have a loose tendon in their legs. D．They lock their feet around a branch. 59．What does the writer intend to tell us?A．The cleverest animal is the gorilla because it can make beds.B．Differences in habitat could lead to different living habits.C．The ways animals catch their ZZZ’s are pretty much he same .D．In order to protect themselves most animals choose not to sleep.BBut I wonder about my Momma sometimes, and all the other Negro(blacks )mothers who got up at 6 a.m. to go to the white man’s house with sacks over their shoes because it was so wet and cold. I wonder how they made it .They worked very hard for the man, they made his breakfast and they scrubbed his floors and they took care of his babies. They didn’t have too much time for us.I wonder about my Momma ,who walked out of a white woman’s clean house at midnight and came back to her own where the lights had been out for three months ,and the pipes were frozen and the wind came in through the holes in the wall. She’d have to make deals with the rats: leave some food out for them so the wouldn’t bite the doors or the babies. The roaches（蟑螂）Oh ,they were just like part of the family!I wonder how she felt telling those white kids she took care of to brush their teeth after they ate, to wash their hands after they finish bathroom. She could never tell her own kids because there wasn’t soap or water back home.I wonder how my Momma felt when we came home from school with a list of vitamins and pills the school nurse said we had to have .Momma would cry all night , and then go out and spend most of the rentmoney for pills. A week later ,the white man would come for his eighteen dollars’ rent and Momma would beg him to wait until tomorrow . She had to lie to him that she had lost her wallet or the relief check was coming soon or the white people had some money for her. Tomorrow I’d be hiding in the closet because there was only supposed to be two kids in the flat ,and I could hear the rent man shout at my Momma and call her a cheat. And when he finally went away, Momma put the sacks on her shoes and went off to the rich white man’s house to dress the rich white kids so their mother could take them to a special baby doctor. 60．Mother got up at 6 a.m. every day ,because .A．she had to cook breakfast for her children B．she had to catch the first bus to the factoryC．she had to work in the white man’s house D．she had to go to see a special baby doctor 61．Mother never told us to brush our teeth or to wash our hands because .A．she though we didn’t need to B．we didn’t like washing handsC．we had done everything very well D．there was no soap or water in our home62．Why did the writer hide in a closet when the landowner came for rent?A．The closet could only hold two kids.B．Only two kids were allowed to live in the house.C．They should pay more rent for two kids.D．There was only one bedroom for the two kids.63．What does the writer mainly tell us?A．Black people lead a miserable life.B．Black people don’t have enough rent money.C．White people lead an expensive life.D．White people have special baby doctors.CBritain is facing a sharp rise in its rat population as growing numbers of people leave fast food scraps in the street ,an environment group warned .Keep Britain Tidy said the rodents（啮齿动物）were stopping their traditional hunts underground and were roaming the streets ,tempted by discarded burgers ,pizzas and crisps. “The rat population is on the rise and soon it’ll be as common to see a rodent on our street as it is to see a dog or a cat,” said group Director ,Sue Nelson. The practice of dumping fast food litter and scraps on the street rather than in the trash—with young men the worst offenders—was behind the rise. According to the National Rodent Survey in 2005, Britain’s rat population has grown by nearly one quarter since 2000 and is now estimated at 60 million ,two million more than the human population. On average a rat can give birth every 24—28 days and just a single pair of rats can produce a colony of 2,000 a year. Around 200 people a year get Weil’s Disease –an infection which can lead to liver or kidney（肝肾）failure and eventually death and which is arrived in rat’s waste. To highlight the issue ,Keep Britain Tidy launched a cinema ad entitled “How close do you want them to get?” The ad gave a shocking image of a young woman sleeping in a bed of rots –echoing the nightmare scene from James Herbert’s classic horror tale The Rats, in which mutant rodents begin to prey on（捕食）humans.64．Where did the rodents use to search for food?A．In the Street . B．Under the ground. C．From the trash cans. D．In burger shops.65．What is the human population now according to the writer?A．60 million. B．58 million. C．35 million. D．2 million.66．We may infer from the passage that .A．Weil’s Disease will finally end the world B．pizzas and crisps will become poisonousC．rats will endanger human beings’ life D．young people are blame for the rat population 67．By writing the passage, the author tries to .A．close some of the burger and pizza restaurantsB．draw the public attention to the problem of ratsC．prevent the rats from growing upD．making advertisement for the classic horror film The Rats一、36.D 37.B 38.A 39.C 40.B 41.D 42.C 43.A 44.B 45.B 46.D 47.D 48.B 49.A 50.C 51C 52.A 53.C 54.B 55.A :二、56~60CADBC 61~65DBABB 66~70CBBCD。

The New Year was a week old and my tree still stood in the corner of our room with its collection of memories proudly displayed in a shower of colorful lights. I’d procrastinated long enough.I got up, went to the garage and dragged all the boxes into the room. The garland was the first to come down. The tree looked naked already. I took the large ornaments off next. They made a large pile on our bed. An hour later, our bed was covered with Christmas memories. Each pile contained an ornament along with its matching brothers and sisters from sets purchased many years ago.I prepared the boxes and carefully placed ornaments in their protective packaging, pausing every few minutes to admire a favorite. “Hey, little Santa!” I held the Santa from my childhood. “Thanks for being my friend for almost fifty years.” He was a little ragged but still gives me a flood of wonderful memories. “Until next year, my dear friend.”There was a collection of handmade ones. My children made in their first years of school, more than twenty years ago. Made by tiny hands, they are far from perfect in design, but every year they go on my memory tree –memories of young giggles (咯咯地笑) on Christmas morning and a smiling face when they handed them to me when I came home from work. “Look what we made, Daddy!”“Oh! It is beautiful. Let’s find a special spot on the tree for it.” Every year since, they are displayed.A few hours after I started, the filled boxes were back in the garage, the room was vacuumed (用吸尘器清扫) and I sat staring at a barren (空荡荡的) corner. The room seemed so empty. It took me two days of work to assemble and decorate my tree, but only a few hours to take it apart.My tree is a good marriage or a great friendship. Like the tree, they take a long time to assemble and decorate with memories, but can be torn down quickly.Every year I have to put my tree away, but not my marriage or friendships. I take great care of those. They get to glow in the corner of my life for as long as I live. I get to analyze my tree and find memories for a few weeks every year. I can do the same with the loves in my life every day. Take great care of your friendships and your marriage. Once they come down, they aren’t as easy to put back together as a Christmas tree. Stand them in that special spot in the corner of your heart and admire their glow.21.
