When my daughter was in primary school, she brought home four little trees from school to plant.None of them looked very strong, but with hope for the future, I planted them in our garden that had enough sunlight.Over the years, because of the poor earth, three of them died.Only one survived.
However, it grew very slowly.It looked more like a fat bush than a tree.Later, I noticed that it was starting to die.The lower branches were becoming bare.Only the top third of the tree was still green.I did my best to save it by feeding it a lot of fertilizer (肥料), but it didn’t work.
Later one morning, I went out and looked at the tree again.I was wondering whether it would be better to just cut it down.Maybe it would make the yard look cleaner.As I walked over to take a closer look at it, however, I noticed something moving within the leaves.It was a bird patiently building a nest in the top branches.I smiled when seeing it.I thought this old tree might not be healthy or pretty, but it was still giving a bird a home.
This tree reminded me that all of our lives have a purpose.It doesn’t matter if we are young and strong or old and sick.Until our last breath, we have things to do, love to give, and joy to share.We can help to make this world a better and more beautiful place.

Do you get worried thinking about a coming math test If yes, you are far from alone.Math anxiety (焦虑) has become a common psychological (心理的) condition among students around the world.According to a University of Cambridge study, many people experience discomfort when in face of a math problem, from mild tension (紧张) to strong fear.
Some people also experience physical (身体的) problems such as a racing heart.They may then try not to meet with every situation about numbers, meaning they will miss the jobs related to this subject, such as science, technology or engineering, according to The Guardian.
However, the fact shows that those with math anxiety aren’t sure to be bad at math.“They may have had a really bad experience with math and there are ways to improve,” Daniel Ansari, the writer of the study told The London Free Press, “Students with math anxiety are not cognitively (认知地) disadvantaged.”
Also, there are ways to deal with your stress related to math.If you’re feeling stressed before a math exam, it may help to spend a few minutes exploring those feelings before the exam begins.“Just because you have a fast heartbeat, that does not really mean you will fail.” Sian Beilock, a scientist in the US told the BBC.
A little math anxiety could be thought of as a positive (积极的) challenge to overcome.This nervous energy can motivate (激励) you, according to Ian Lyons, a psychologist at Georgetown University in the US.
