A wealthy man asked an old scholar to tell his son away from his bad habits. The scholar took

the young man for a walk through a garden. Stopping suddenly, he told the boy to pull out a tiny

plant growing there.

The young man made it easily. The old man then asked him to pull out a little bigger plant. The

young man pulled hard and the plant came out with its roots. “Now pull out that one,” said the

old man, pointing to a little tree. The boy had to use all his strength to pull it out.

“Now take this one out,” said the old man, pointing at a big orange tree. The young man held

the trunk (树干) and tried to pull it out. But it would not move. “It's impossible”, said the boy,

panting (喘息) with the effort.

2．阅读理解

One night, when I was eight, my mother gently asked me a question I would never forget.

"Sweetie, my company wants to promote(升职) me but needs me to work in Brazil. This is like

your teacher telling you that you've done well and allowing you to skip(跳) a grade, but you'll

have to leave your friends. Would you say yes to your teacher?" She gave me a hug and asked me

to think about it. I was lost in thought. The question kept me wondering for the rest of the night. I

had said "Yes" but for the first time, I realized the difficult decisions adults had to make.

For almost four years, my mother would call us from Brazil every day. Every evening I'd eagerly

wait for the phone to ring and then tell her everything that happened during the day. A phone

call, however, could never take her place and it was difficult not to feel lonely at times.

During my fourth-grade Christmas break, we flew to Rio to visit her. Looking at her large empty

apartment. It was then I started to understand the difficult choices she had to make. She needed

to think about both family and work. Faced with difficult decisions, she used to tell me, you

wouldn't know whether you made the right choice, but you could always make the best out of

the situation, with a positive attitude.

Back home, I reminded myself that what my mother could do, I could, too. If she managed to live

in Rio all by herself, I, too, could learn to be independent. I learn how to take care of myself and

set high but achievable goals.

My mother is now back with us. But I will never forget what the experience has really taught

me. I've learned a lot because of this separation(分离). There are lots of difficult decisions that
