閱讀下面的短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。

When I was growing up, I had an old neighbor named Dr. Gibbs．He didn’t look like any doctor I’d ever known. When Dr. Gibbs wasn’t saving lives, he was planting trees．

The good doctor had some interesting theories concerning planting trees．He believed in “No pains, no gains”．He never watered his new trees, which was beyond many people．Once I asked why．He answered that watering plants spoiled them, and that if you water them, each following tree generation will grow weaker and weaker．So you have to make things tough for them．He talked about how watering trees made for shallow roots, and how trees that weren’t watered had to grow deep roots in search of water．I took him to mean that deep roots were to be treasured．

So he never watered his trees. He’d plant an oak(橡樹) and, instead of watering it every morning, he’d beat it with a rolled-up newspaper. Smack! Slap! Pow! I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree’s attention.

Dr. Gibbs passed away a couple of years after I left home. Every now and again, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I’d watched him plant some twenty-five years ago. They’re extremely tall, big and strong now. Those trees wake up in the morning and beat their chests and drink their coffee black.

Answer 1

【答案】

 

The author had a neighbor called Dr. Gibbs who had his own way of planting trees. Instead of taking too much care of his trees, he let them survive and grow in the tough environment.

I can’t agree more with Dr. Gibbs’ way of planting trees for the reason that too much care would spoil the trees since they would depend on Dr. Gibbs’ care. Once they had lost the care, their survival ability was lost, too.

Due to the birth control in our country, many parents have only one child. So they do what they can to satisfy their children’s needs and arrange everything for them, making them unable to look after themselves without their parents’ care. Flowers from a greenhouse can never withstand a storm. As a famous saying goes, “spare the rod and spoil the child.”

If I were a parent, I would make my child eat bitter food, do hard work and send him or her to the places where he could get the fullest training and knowledge with which he or she would value the labor and be capable of facing hardships. I would also teach my child to help support the family. More could be done apart from food , hard work and bad condition.
