阅读理解
The moment I see a beautiful cloud while driving, taking in the colorful light during a sunset,or watching birds flying south, I begin to think what we are supposed to learn from nature and animals. Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished. As seasons change, we are guided to learn acceptance and non-resistance. A green leaf doesn't resist turning red when autumn approaches. Trees don't resist leaves falling when winter arrives. They stand deeply rooted in the ground, with their vulnerability out in the open and branches spread wide, giving up the universe. Do what you will with me; I trust it is for my highest good.
Who said that the bamboo is more beautiful than the maple tree and the maple tree is more valuable than the bamboo Does the bamboo feel jealous of the maple tree because it is bigger and its leaves change color The idea of trees comparing themselves to others is ridiculous, as should humans comparing themselves to one another. We must compare our growth to who we were yesterday not to the growth of other. Everyone is incomparably unique.
The community of bees and ants all participate together to benefit all those in their community. We each have our own calling that is best performed by us. Each part is necessary for a functioning family, community, nation and world. Embrace your special responsibility, share it proudly with the world, and always do your best.
Birds flying through the sky represent the limitless freedom and potential available to us if we release our fears. Taking off to fly for the first time can be scary and bring out feelings of fear. Without taking the risk of the first flight, we won't find the internal freedom we desire. We must dare to take our feet off the ground, spread our wings and fly.
1. What does the underlined word "vulnerability" in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.Weakness. B.Possibility. C.Disability. D.Resistance.
2. What does the example of the bamboo and the maple tree indicate?
A.We humans should learn from one another.
B.There is no sense in comparing different plants.
C.Everyone has his own quality and strengths.
D.Each part is necessary for a functioning world.
3. What can we learn from bees and ants?
A.Independence. B.Unity. C.Pride. D.Diligence.
4. Which is the main idea of this text?
A.Acceptance and non-resistance are the law of nature.
B.The bamboo is more beautiful than the maple tree.
C.Animals' way of living has changed humans' life.
D.Humans can learn from nature and animals.

Nature offers an infinite variety of ways to support children's cognitive, physical, and emotional development.
