　　英語(yǔ)四級(jí)聽(tīng)力美文第67篇:The Lesson of the Bamboo Trees

　　One of my fondest memories as a child is going by the river and sitting idly on the bank. ThereI would enjoy the peace and quiet, watch the water rush downstream and listen to the chirps ofbirds and the rustling of leaves in the trees. I would also watch the bamboo trees bend underpressure from the wind and watch them return gracefully to their original position after thewind had died down.

　　When I think about the bamboo tree's ability to bounce back or return to its original position, the word "resilience " comes to mind. When used in reference to a person this word meansthe ability to readily recover from shock, depression or any other situation that stretches thelimits of a person's emotions.

　　Have you ever felt like you are about to snap? Have you ever felt like you are at your breakingpoint? Thankfully, you have survived the experience to live to talk about it.

　　During the experience you probably felt a mix of emotions that threatened your health. You feltemotionally drained , mentally exhausted and you most likely endured unpleasant physicalsymptoms.

　　Life is a mixture of good times and bad times, happy moments and unhappy moments. Thenext time you are experiencing one of those bad times or unhappy moments that take youclose to your breaking point, bend, but don't break. Try your best not to let the situation getthe best of you .

　　A measure of hope will take you through the unpleasant ordeal . With hope for a bettertomorrow or a better situation, things may not be as bad as they seem to be. The unpleasantordeal may be easier to deal with if the end result is worth having.

　　If the going gets tough and you are at your breaking point, show resilience. Like the bambootree, bend, but don't break!
