Soon it blessed her with cooling shade in the summer and glo

12、rious, golden leaves in the fall.When the two-day snowstorm struck our town, heavy snow fell on the trees branches that were still full of leaves. The weight split that lovely tree down the middle. It was so sad seeing half of it laying on the ground after the storm. When I talked to my neighbor lat

13、er, she said that the damage had been too much and that the entire tree would have to be cut down. Thankfully she had saved a few saplings(树苗) from it that she hoped to replant in the future.Still, it was a shock to drive by her house the other day and see nothing but a stump in her front yard. I mi

14、ssed that tree. I missed its beauty, its leaves shinning in the afternoon sun. I missed seeing its limbs reach towards the heavens. I thought that the stump would be a sad reminder of its loss for a long time to come. My wonderful neighbor, though, had another plan. When I drove by her home today I

15、saw a tiny bird feeder sitting on that stump and a colorful songbird having its dinner. It was such an affirmation of life. It was such a joy to see. I could feel my heart smile.Life by its very nature is a mixed bag. It hands us beauty and tragedy, love and loss, pleasure and pain. What we do with

19、oint in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. Fortunately, such moments are usually not obvious to the listeners. Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say. They hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your pl

20、ace for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will be any the wiser. When such moments occur, dont worry about them. Just continue as if nothing happened.Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that doesnt really ma

21、tter. If you have ever listened to Martin Luther Kings famous speechI Have a Dream, you may notice that he stumbles (结巴)over his words twice during the speech. Most likely, however, you dont remember. Why? Because you were fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-making.

22、People care a lot about making a mistake in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication.

27、passing of time? The answer is that the brains cells, the neurons, decline and die with age.

28、in ways in which mental function changesThe first concerns speed, such as how quickly you can react to fast-moving incidents on the road.
