When Doctor Gibbs wasn39。t saving lives, he was planting trees. He had some interesting ideas about planting trees. He hardly watered his new trees. Once I asked why and he told me that watering plants made them grow weaker. He said he had to make things difficult for the trees so that only the strongest could survive. He talked about how watering trees made them develop shallow roots and how, if they were not watered, trees would grow deep roots in search of water. So, instead of watering his trees every morning, he39。d beat them with a rolled up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the trees39。 attention. Doctor Gibbs died a couple of years after I left home. Sometimes I walked by his house and looked at the trees I39。d watched him plant 25 years ago. They were tall and strong. I planted several trees myself a few years ago. Two years of caring for these trees meant they grew up weakly. Every time a cold wind blew, my trees shook. Adversity seemed to be good for Doctor Gibb39。s trees, they could never relax. Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. I often pray（祈禱）that their lives will be easy. But lately I39。ve been thinking that it39。s time to change my prayer. I know my children are going to experience difficulties. There39。s always a cold wind blowing somewhere. What we need to do is to pray for deep roots, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, we won39。t be separated.（1）What did Doctor Gibbs do to the trees he planted?

BANG the door closed behind me. With tears in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street. The street lights were shining, causing rather sadfeeling. I wandered aimlessly. A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree. But now … I don39。t know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. He always put his opinions on me. We are just like two people ing from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened. I wandered the streets, without any aim in my mind. As I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets. When I finally reached the apartment where I lived, I saw that the light was still on. I thought to myself: Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me? In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. All the lights were off except father39。s. Dad was always like this. He has got used to arguing with me. Maybe he didn39。t know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never said sorry to me. But after an argument he always came into my room secretly and made sure whether I was asleep. The light was still on. Am I wrong? I whispered, maybe…With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door.
