One of my neighbors used to have a beautiful tree in her yard. Her dad had planted it for her when it was very small and for years it didn’t seem to change at all. Yet 81 , it started to grow towards the sky with amazing speed. Soon it became taller than her house and we all liked to play under it in summer and enjoyed its golden leaves in autumn.
When a terrible snowstorm struck our town, almost 4 feet of heavy snow fell on the tree. The 82 was too much and broke that lovely tree down in the middle. It was so sad to see half of it 83 on the ground. When I talked to my neighbor later, she said that the damage had been so much that the entire tree would have to be 84 . Thankfully she had saved a few saplings(树苗) from it, which she hoped to replant in the future.
Still, it was a shock to drive by her house the other day and see nothing but a stump(树桩) in the garden. I missed that tree. I missed its beauty and I missed its leaves shinning in the afternoon sun. I thought that the stump would be a sad memory of its 85 . My wonderful neighbor, though, had another plan. When I drove by her home one day, I saw a tiny bird feeder sitting on that stump and a colorful songbird having its dinner. It was such a joy to see.
Life, by its very nature, is a mixed bag. It hands us beauty and tragedy, love and loss, pleasure and pain. We can let it break us in two, or we can use even its 86 times to make our stronger. We can spend it complaining or we can use it to help others, and it’s all up to us.

The country if Japan has a long history of martial arts(武术) that started over 2500 years ago. Many different martial arts have developed since then. In these martial arts, fighters use their hands, f 87 , knees, elbows and heads to fight. Ancient history says that Japanese warriors often used martial arts skills to protect their families and country. However, martial arts also had another p 88 . They were used to train the mind. A good fighter had to be a skilled t 89 .
In the late 1800s, the best known martial arts was “jujitsu”(柔术). However, jujitsu was going to experience an important change. A man called Kano Jigoro used his i 90 to develop a new form of jujitsu. He called this new form “Judo”.
Kano Jigoro was born in Kobe, Japan, in 1860. When he was a small child, bigger boys would follow him and try to fight with him. One day, Jigoro learned a bit about Jujitsu from a friend of his father’s. Jigoro was immediately interested. When he began his university studies, he also began the serious study of jujitsu. Two years later his teacher died. He had to find another teacher. By the time he was 21, Jigoro was very good at jujitsu and he had become a teacher h 91 .
As time passed, he began to develop a new type of martial art. It had many of the characteristics(特点) of jujitsu. However, Jigoro a 92 some of his own ideas as well. He was especially interested in the thoughtful and spiritual side. He called this new form “judo”. The word “ju” means
“ g 93 “ and “ do”means “way”. Today, millions of men, women, and children all over the world practice judo.
D answer the questions.
During all this time I never stopped thinking about escape. When I traveled across to the other side of the island, I could see the other islands, and I said to myself, "Perhaps I can get there with a boat. Perhaps I can get back to England one day."
So I decided to make myself a boat. I cut down a big tree, and then began to make a long hole in it. It was hard work, but about six months later, I had a very fine canoe (独木舟). Next, I had to get it down to the sea. How silly I was! Why didn't I think before I began work Of course, the canoe was too heavy. I couldn't move it! I pulled and pushed and tried everything, but it didn't move. I was very unhappy for a long time after that.
That happened in my fourth year on the island. In my sixth year I did make myself a smaller canoe, but I did not try to escape in it. The boat was too small for a long journey, and I did not want to die at sea. The island was my home now, not my prison, and I was just happy to be alive. A year or two later, I made myself a second canoe on the other side of the island. I also built myself a second house there, and so I had two homes.
My life was still busy from morning to night. There were always things to do or to make. I learnt to make new clothes for myself from the skins of dead animals. They looked very strange, it is true, but they kept me dry in the rain.
I kept food and tools at both my houses, and also wild goats. There were many goats on the island, and I made fields with high fences to keep them in. They learnt to take food from me, and soon I had goats' milk to drink every day. I also worked hard in my corn fields. And so many years went by.
