Just like us, trees change a lot as they grow. At 1 to 3 years old, young trees learn how to protect t 15 . For example, many trees grow thorns to w 16 animals not to go near.
When trees are 4 years old, they begin to grow very quickly and become strong enough to face challenges later in life. At the age of 15, trees become young adults. They grow more slowly and begin to produce flowers and fruit. It is not until the tree is 20 to 25 years old that it becomes a real adult. The tree r 17 its largest size. Not only does the adult tree give us shade, oxygen and natural beauty, but it is a 18 a great place for us to nap, read a book, listen to music or sip tea. I 19 the adult tree receives proper care, it will continue to live healthily for many years.
Gradually, trees begin to grow older and older and even die. At this time, they still have their important place i 20 nature. When a tree becomes hollow or part of it becomes dead, it provides a home to small animals and is a source of food for many o 21 animals.

My wife and I recently welcomed a child into the world. His only interest right now is keeping us awake 24/7. But one day, he’ll need to learn something about finance. When he does, here are some suggestions.
1) You might think you want an expensive car, a fancy watch, and a huge house. But you don’t. What you want is respect and admiration from other people. You think having expensive stuff will bring it. It a 22 never does-especially from the people you want to respect and admire you.
2) The road to financial regret is paved with debt. Some debt, such as a mortgage, is OK. But most spending that results in debt is the equivalent of a drug: a quick hit of p 23 that wears off, only to drag you down for years to come, limiting your options and keeping you weighed down by the baggage of your past.
3) I hope you’re poor at some point. Not struggling, and not unhappy, of course. But there’s no way to learn the value of money without feeling the power of its scarcity. It teaches you the difference between n 24 and desirable. It’ll make you learn to enjoy what you have, fix what’s broken, and shop for a bargain. These are essential survival skills.
4) If you’re like most people, you’ll spend most of your adult life thinking, “Once I’ve saved/earned $X, everything will be great.” Then you’ll hit $X, move the goalposts, and resume chasing your tail. It’s a miserable c 25 . Your goals should be about more than money.
5) Don’t stay in a job you hate because you made a career choice at 18. Almost no one knows what he or she wants to do at that age. Many people don’t know what they want until they’re t 26 that age. (These are the signs you’re in the wrong career.)
6) The best thing money buys is to control over your time. It gives you options and f 27 you from relying on someone else’s priorities. One day you’ll realize that this freedom is one of the things that makes your truly happy.
7) Some people are born into families that encourage education others are from families that are a 28 it. Some are born into flourishing economies others, into war and poverty. I want you to be successful, and I want you to earn it. But realize that not all success is due to hard work and not all poverty is due to laziness. Keep this in mind when judging people, including yourself.
8) Your savings rate has a little to do with how much you earn and a lot to do with how much you spend. I know a dentist who lives paycheck to paycheck, always on the edge of ruin. I know another person who never earned more than $50, 000 and saved a fortune. The difference is entirely due to their spending. Living with less is the most efficient way to control your financial future.

Why is it that so many young people want the excitement of seeing that little “thumbs up” on their screen The article “Why do people desire attention ” explains several cases in which people naturally long for attention. It says that people who were an only child and were used to being the c 53 of attention in their house may try to live in these conditions again. Feeling “ignored and unappreciated（不被欣赏的）” might also lead to wanting attention. Also, “when you’re waiting for someone else to confirm（确认）that what you’re doing is cool, you’re basing your i 54 of yourself on their values, not your own,” US psychologist（心理学家）Bryan said. “The further you go from your own center, the u 55 you’ll feel.” So how can you fix this

The future of flying
Imagine a scene: Millions of people going to and fro, traveling to different destinations. Robots work here and there, helping people g 64 around. There are various gardens in which people can sit and relax.
Does it sound l 65 a small town from the future It is, in fact, the Beijing Daxing International Airport, which topped the Guardian’s “seven wonders of the modern world” list.
After nearly five years of construction (建设) the airport officially opened on Sept. 25, 2019. Located at the southern border of Beijing, it is the world’s largest integrated transportation hub (枢纽). It is quite large b 66 its area and its travel capacity (承载量).
It has the world’s largest flight terminal (航站楼) in a single building. The building has an area of 700,000 square meters—the s 67 of 98 soccer fields. It will eventually be able to handle more than 100 million passengers a year, China Daily reported. That’s around the total population of the UK and Canada.

How could we travel without maps It would be a bit adventurous (冒险的) to start from Oxford University to go to London Bridge if there wasn’t a map of the London Underground at each station. In fact, a lot of the early map-makers were explorers, e 71 in the 15th and 16th centuries.
So what did people do before there were maps Well, it was quite easy to use n 72 signs like mountains and rivers if you were travelling on foot or riding a horse. People took small boats down rivers and followed coastlines (海岸线). And it was much more logical (合理的) to use t 73 to measure journeys: the next village is three-hour ride, for example.
In fact, in the earliest maps, people didn’t draw landmarks. They drew the stars. It was very easy to see the n 74 sky and use it for navigation（航行). The sky was a lot clearer before the light pollution from cities that we have today. When towns and cities were built, people drew road maps which gave c 75 distances and directions.
The London Underground was opened in 1863 and it also used a road map style. But a man called Henry Beck r 76 that travelling by train wasn’t the same as driving your car across London. Passengers only needed to know which stations to change at. His new design for the Underground map wasn’t very popular with the train companies at first. But the passengers loved it and in 1933, 700,000 copies were printed.
These days, of course, you can ride a bike, drive a car or go through a forest and know w 77 you are by using a GPS. It’s rally difficult to get lost!

People often complain about airline companies losing their suitcases when they fly. It’s n 78 happened to me, but something a lot worse happened to my family recently.
About ten years ago my mum got a job teaching at a university in Thailand. At first she only went for six months, but she really liked it and a 79 to stay longer, so we all went to live with her. We had a great time, but last year my parents decided that they wanted to r 80 to the UK. Because we’d been there so long, we had loads of things we wanted to take back with us—all the furniture from our house, in fact.
So Mum and Dad went to a shipping company and arranged to take e 81 back in one of those big containers that you see on ships. The company packed everything into it: the armchairs and sofas, the TV, wardrobes, desks, e 82 all the rugs and curtains. Our whole house was inside that big green metal box.
We flew back to the UK and waited for the container to a 83 . About ten weeks later, we were having breakfast one morning when a big lorry arrived outside our house. On the back was a big green metal box. We were so excited. The men opened the container and started to take out our things. But they weren’t our things. The container was full of gym equipment. It was the w 84 one. We were so upset.
But the story has a happy ending. The men took the container and gym equipment away, and about two months ago our things finally arrived.
