After the four students came back，the teacher called them together．They pictured （描述）their feelings to the teacher．The first student said that there were no leaves on the trees．It made him very disappointed．The second student said his eyes were full of light green．It made him feel hopeful．The third one disagreed．"What are you talking about？How pretty the trees were!The sweet smell of the beautiful flowers spread （传播）here and there．"The last one shook his head．He only saw a lot of apples on the beautiful trees．
The teacher smiled and told his students none of them were wrong．They each just saw one season．He continued，"The trees are not the same in different seasons．You can't judge （判断）a tree by only one season．Don't let the regret of one season destroy the beauty of the rest．"

After months of study，you have some time to relax．So，why not read a book？Well，some people will say，"Why trouble with books？We have the Internet and other media（媒体）that offer a lot more colorful programs．Books are history!"But don't be fooled．There's still a lot to be said for reading．①One clear reason is that a well﹣chosen is a wonderful collection of and expressions，as long as you have a good dictionary，of course．Believe me，it's far easier to get standard English than from the TV or the Internet．② But an even more important point is that books give you something that modern media cannot．The webpage is always full of pictures and the text is often designed to make it as easy to read as possible．Though"easy"may be welcome，unluckily it's of little use for any long﹣time development of reading skills and the general language level．For that，there's still no substitute（替代品） for a book．But perhaps the best reason is that simply choosing what you read and doing it by yourself means that it's something you do by and for yourself．You can choose what you want to read．It's hard work，but while you are reading，you'll find that what once seemed like a duty is now a pleasure．Reading can bring us pleasure．
