I wondered why.“Look down, Elsa,” father said. I gathered all my courage and looked down. I saw the square in the center of the village. And I saw the crisscross (十字形) of twisting, turning streets leading to the square. “ See, my dear,” father said gently. “ There is more than one way to the square. Life is like that. If you cant get to the place where you want to go by one road, try another.”Now I understood why I was there. Earlier that day I had begged my mother to do something about the awful lunches that were served at school. But she refused because she could not believe the lunches were as bad as I said.When I turned to father for help, he didnt say anything. Instead, he brought me to this high tower to give me a lesson. By the time we reached home, I had a plan.At school the next day, I secretly poured my luncheon（午餐）soup into a bottle and brought it home. Then I asked our cook to serve it to mother at dinner. The plan worked perfectly.

His house sat on ten acres, and his lifes goal was to make it a forestThe good doctor had some interesting theories about plant care and growthHe never watered his new trees as others didOnce I asked whyHe said that watering plants spoiled(寵壞) them so that each successive tree generation would grow weaker and weakerSo you have to make things rough for them and weed out（淘汰） the weaker trees early onHe talked about how watering trees made for shallow roots, and how trees that werent watered had to grow deep roots in search of moistureI thought he meant that deep roots were to be treasuredSo he never watered his treesHe planted an oak(橡樹) and, instead of watering it every morning, he beat it with a rolled-up newspaperSmack! Slap! Pow! I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the trees attentionDrGibbs passed away a couple of years after I left homeEvery now and again, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that Id watched him plant some twenty-five years agoTheyre extremely tall, big and robust since they have deep roots nowHowever, the trees in my garden trembled in a cold wind although I had watered them for several years.It seems that adversity（逆境） and suffering benefit these trees while comfort and ease never could.

Every student in his or her second year of high school is required to take a class in the drivers education. However, unlike other courses, it is not given during the regular school year. Instead, it is a summer course. The course is divided up into two parts: class time for learning laws and regulations and driving time to practice driving. Class time is not unlike any other class. The students have a text from which they study the basic laws they must know to pass the written driving test that is given to anyone wanting to get a drivers license.Driving time is a chance for the students to get behind the wheel(steering wheel方向盤) and practice starting steering, backing up, parking, switching lanes, turning corners and all the other maneuvers(操作) required to drive a car. Each student is required to drive a total of six hours. The students are divided up into groups of four. The students and the instructor go out driving for two hour blocks of time. Thus, each student gets half an hour driving time per outing. The instructor and the “driver” sit in front of seat and the other three students sit in the back.Drivers Ed cars are unlike other cars in which they have two brakes(剎車系統(tǒng)), one on the drivers side and one on the other side where the instructor sits. Thus, if the student driver should run into difficulties the instructor can take over. The car also has another special feature. On the top of the car is a sign that reads: STUDENT DRIVER. That lets nearby drivers know that they should use extra caution(小心) because the student driver is a beginning driver, not very experienced and prone to driving slowly.After the student has passed the drivers education course and reached the proper age to drive ( this age differs in every state but in most cases the person must be 16 years old), they can go to a designed state office to take the drivers test, which is made up of an eye examination, a written test, and a road test. The person must pass all three tests in order to be given a drivers license. If the person does well in his or her drivers education class, he or she will pass the test with flying colors and get a drivers license.46. In America, the drivers course mentioned above_A. is considered as part of the advanced education.B. is given to anyone wanting to get a drivers license.C. is carried on at the same time as other courses.D. is offered to all the students of Grade 2 in high schools.47.
