D. Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答问题)
“Look,”I said to my friend Mandy,holding up the bright-red paper.“There's a five-day art camp this summer.”
Mandy took the paper and looked at it.“Tessa,you should go. You're the artist. I am not.”
“You can learn with me.”I said in an encouraging voice.“I really didn't want to go alone.”
Mandy smiled,“I tried,but my little brother thought the corns I painted were rockets.”
Later , I called my other friends, but none of them could go with me. Disappointed,I decided to go outside to draw the Westons’ pine tree. Drawing always made me feel better. On the way,I thought about the art camp and wished I felt a little braver. Mandy could make friends with others in 10 minutes,but I was embarrassed when there were no familiar faces around me. By the time I arrived there,I had made myself believe that I was happy to give up going to the camp.
I took out my pencils and started drawing the strong trunk of the pine. Once I started, I didn't notice the fly buzzing around me.That's why I jumped when Mr. Weston talked behind me,“You've done a great job showing the strength of that tree.”“Thanks.”I smiled. Mr. Weston continued, “I’ve planted pine trees before. You have to spread out the roots near the surface so the tree can get enough water and grow tall. If you plant the root ball too deep,the tree dries up and dies. Roots grow out,not down.”
Now I noticed the roots all around the tree. I'd never realized how far a tree's roots stretch(延伸)outward. It made me think about the art camp and my own roots. I was planting myself into one deep spot because it felt safer. If I wanted to grow, I had to start reaching out too.
That night, I made my final decision. I felt nervous but excited.“I am stretching my roots out into new earth so I can grow”,I thought.“I am the pine”.
