When I was growing up, I had an old neighbor,a doctor named Gibbs. When Dr. Gibbs wasn’t saving lives, he was   1  trees. His house sat on ten acres(英亩), and his life’s goal was to make it a   2 .
The good doctor had some interesting   3  concerning planting trees. He never  4  his new trees. Once I asked why. “Watering plants will   5  them.” He said, “If you water them, each younger generation will grow   6 . So you have to make things  7  for them.”
He talked about how watering trees 8  shallow roots, and how trees that weren’t watered had to grow  9  roots in search of water. He’d planted an oak and,   10  watering it every morning, he’d   11  it with a rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree’s   12 .
Dr. Gibbs died a couple of years after I left home. Every now and again, I returned and walked by his  13  and looked at the trees that I’d watched him plant some twenty-five years ago. They’re incredibly   14  now.
Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two   15 . I stand over them and pray for them.   16  I pray that their lives will be easy. But lately I’ve been thinking that it’s time to change my   17.
I know my children are going to encounter hardship. Life is tough, whether we want it to be or not. Too many times we pray for   18 , but that’s a prayer seldom met. What we need to do is pray for   19  that reach deep into the earth  20  they won’t be swept apart when the rains fall and the winds blow.

Just recently I had been wondering if there was much point in doing little acts of kindness. So often they get   36 , and occasionally they come back to bite you!
Then, just last week, after a long travel, I found myself   37   at a bus station. The bus was four hours late! So, I guess I wasn’t in a good   38 .
That’s when a woman asked me if I had any spare   39   to help her get a bus ticket.
“Oh, sure,” I said sarcastically (挖苦地). “How much would you like?”
As I spoke, I mentally kicked myself for my  40   and reached into my bag for some money. As I handed her five dollars, I heard low sounds from her stomach because of real    41 .
I reached back into my bag and brought out a   42   I had bought earlier. I handed it to her with a(n)   43   that I hoped would make up for my earlier tone of voice. Getting a   44   look at her now, I realized she was extremely tired, like she had had several months of   45   days!
As she took the food, a look of   46   washed over her. In return, she tried to give me a Milwaukee bus ticket! I don’t live in Milwaukee and the ticket will probably   47   be used, but I took it.
A few minutes later she came back over, apologized, and told me she was still  48   of five dollars. I took some singles out of my bag and slipped a twenty in there as well.   49 , the voice in my head told me I was being a fool.
Five minutes later she came back again and tried to   50   my twenty. When I said it was for her so she could get something else to   51 , and that I was completely serious and I wasn’t taking it   52  , she started crying and hugged me.
From now on, when I wonder if it is   53   trying to help someone, I will remember that woman. Maybe I am really making a   54   for someone. So, sure, sometimes my efforts might not be noticed, and sometimes they might come back to bite me, but they might actually   55   another human being!

You wake up in the morning,the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time. Then the telephone rings,you say hello, and the drama starts.The person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to.You are still in a wonderful mood? Impossible!
Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness.It may not change what you think,but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time.
Life brings ups and downs,but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer.They only feel glad when they make others feel bad.No wonder they can hardly win others’ pity or respect.
When you communicate with positive people,your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted.When the dagger(匕首) of a negative person is put in you,you feel the heavy feeling that all in all,brings you down.
Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people.This could be a co-worker,or a relative.In this case,say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person,but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that.
Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized.The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to(附着) you throughout the rest of your day,which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness.Life is too short to feel negative.Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible.
小题1: The purpose of the first paragraph is to ______.
A.make a comparisonB.offer an evidence
C.introduce a topic D.describe a daily scene
小题2: How can negative people have effect on us?
A.By influencing our emotion.B.By telling us the nature of life.
C.By changing our ways of thinking.D.By comparing their attitudes to life with ours.
小题3: Some negative people base their happiness on _______.
A.other people’s pity for them B.making other people unhappy
C.building up a positive attitudeD.other people’s respect for them
小题4: According to the passage, to reduce negative people’s influence on us,we are advised to ____.
A.change negative people’s attitudes to life
B.show our dissatisfaction to negative people
C.make negative people feel ashamed of themselves
D.communicate with negative people as little as possible
