填空题______

问答题乡下老家前面的空地，租给人家种桃花心木的树苗。树苗种下来后，植树人总是隔几天才来浇 水。他来的天数并没有规则，有时三天，有时五天，有时十几天来一次。浇水的量也不一定，有时浇 得多，有时浇得少。桃花心木有时就莫名地枯萎了，所以，他来的时候总会带几株树苗补种。我起先 以为他太懒，隔那么久才为树浇水。但是，懒的人焦么会知道有几棵树枯萎了呢他说：“种树是百 年基业，所以树木自己要学会在土地里找水源。我浇水只是模仿老天下雨，老天下雨是算不准。如 果无法在这种不确定中汲水生长，树苗很自然就枯萎了。但是，只要在不确定中找到水源，拼命扎根 的树，长成百年的大树就不成问题了。”

问答题I was slow to understand the deep grievances of women. This was because, as a boy, I had envied them. Before college, the only people I had ever known who were interested in art or music or literature, the only ones who read books, the only ones who ever seemed to enjoy a sense of ease and grace were the mothers and daughters. Like the menfolk, they fretted about money, they scrimped and made-do. But, when the pay stopped coming in, they were not the omens who had failed. Nor did they have to go to war, and that seemed to me a blessed fact. By comparison with the narrow, ironclad days of fathers, there was an expansiveness, I thought, in the days of mothers. They went to see neighbors, to shop in town, to run errands at school, at the library, at church. No doubt, had I looked harder at their lives, I would have envied them less. It was not my fate to become a woman, so it was easier for me to see the graces. Few of them held jobs outside the home, and those who did filled thankless roles as clerks and waitresses. I didn’t see, then, what a prison a house could be, since houses seemed to me brighter, handsomer places than any factory. I did not realize—because such things were never spoken of—how often women suffered from men’s bullying.
