Once there was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails (钉子) and
told him that every time he lost his temper (脾气), he must hammer (用锤敲打) a nail into the back of
the fence (栅栏). The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as
he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually (逐渐地) dwindled down.
He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally the day
came when the boy didn"t lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that
the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the
young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the
hand and led him to the fence. He said, "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence.
The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one, You
can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won"t matter how many times you say I"m sorry, the wound is
still there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical (身体的) one." As William Arthur Ward once said,
"It is wise to direct your anger towards problems not people, to focus your energies on answers not
excuses. "

card ever came with it. Calls to the flower shop were not helpful at all. After some time I stopped
trying to find out the sender’s name and was just pleased with the beautiful white flower, in soft pink
paper.
I couldn’t stop imagining(想像)who the giver might be, though. Some of my happiest moments
were spent daydreaming about the sender. My mother encouraged these daydreams. She, d ask me
if I had been especially kind to someone. Perhaps it was one of my classmates. Perhaps it was the
old man. He lived across from the street. I’d sent him his mail during the winter. As a girl, though, I
had more fun imagining that it might be a boy that I had met.
A month before my high school graduation(毕业), my father died. I was so sad that I became
uninterested in my upcoming graduation dance, and I didn’t care whether I had a new dress or not.
My mother, in her won sadness, however, would not let me miss any of those things. She wanted her
children to feel loved. In fact, my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenia:
lovely, strong and perfect, with perhaps a bit of mystery(神秘).

Your parents aren’t around so you 4 lots of time every day sharing your life with your classmates.
You talk with them, you work with them and you become friends with them. But 5 them will become

every day, even in snow and rain, would you do it?
I did. I took part in an after-school Spanish class. Because it was after school, no school buses were
there to take me home when the class ended. And my parents couldn"t pick me up, so I had to walk home.
At first I hated the walk because of the long distance. But after a few months, I got used to (习惯于)
it and it became one of my daily activities, like getting dressed and brushing my teeth. And I began to
enjoy it. I got to see things like birds flying and trees changing color. A few times I saw something very
special, like a small snake near the sidewalk, or two cars that came very close to crashing!
Many of my classmates saw what I did. Once, one girl in my class asked her mother to drive me
home because it was raining outside, and I didn"t have an umbrella (雨伞). Some people who I didn"t
know even gave me a ride - they thought it was too cold out.
People always think walking long distances is difficult. Modern technology (技术) makes common
things, like walking, seem impossible. Many people, like myself, live in the country and are close to
nature, but also far away from it because of technology.
