I believe listening is a powerful medicine．
It was Sunday ．I had the last to see and I got into her room ．She was an old woman , sitting on the bed , trying to her socks ．Usually I said something like this : “How are you feeling ? The nurse says your son is visiting you today．I believe you are seeing him．”
She me with a serious voice , “Sit down , doctor ．This is my story , not yours ．”
I was surprised and ．I sat down and helped her with the socks ．She began to tell me that her only son lived not far from her , she had not seen him for five years ．She believed her health problems were worse because of her son ．After hearing her story and helping her put on her socks , I asked if there was I could do for her ．She her head and smiled ．All she wanted me to do was to ．
Each story is ．Some are clear; others are not．Some are true; others are not , yet all those things do not really ．What matters to the storyteller is that the story is heard ．
Listening to someone’s story costs nothing but it is the key to healing （康复）．I often what the woman taught me , and I myself of the importance of stopping , sitting down and truly listening ．I the power of listening ．

We know that trees are useful in our everyday life. They 1 us many things, such as wood, oxygen, rubber, medicines and many other things. They can 2 tell us a lot about our climate. The following are the reasons. If you 3 a tree, you can see that it has many rings. Most trees grow one new ring 4 year. Because of the reason, we know 5 a tree is. A tree over a hundred years old means that it has more than a hundred 6 . When the climate is dry or very cold, the trees do not grow very much and their rings are usually 7 .
