He wanted his sons to learn not to judge(判断) things too quickly. So he told them to go and look at a pear tree. It was far away from his home. The first son went in winter， the second in spring，the third in summer， and the youngest son in autumn.When the sons came back， the old man asked them to say what they had seen. The first son complained the tree was ugly. The second son said the tree was covered with buds(花蕾) and full of hope. The third son said the tree was full of green leaves. They looked so beautiful， and it was the most wonderful thing he had ever seen. The youngest son said that the tree was bowed（弯） down with heavy fruits. It was full of life and fulfillment(收获).The man explained that all of his sons were right， but each of them had seen just one season of the tree.

If you give up when its winter， you will miss the hope of your spring， the beauty of your summer， and the fulfillment of your autumn. said the old man.It is true that we shouldnt let the hard season break the happiness of the other seasons.

The scientists have worked out how spiders make such strong silk when they build their webs. The silk that spiders make is strong and even tougher than steel. Being able to produce man-made spider silk has long been a dream of many scientists. Now, researchers from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences have, step by step, developed a method that works. Theyve found that the materials for webs arc in a spiders silk gland (丝腺) as protein. The gland has a level of acidity (酸度) that helps make the protein into very strong silk. The researchers reported that they could produce man-made spider silk by copying the process. The new man-made silk could be very useful to humans. Doctors are interested in it. They think it can help people get well after a bum. Some doctors believe the new silk could be used to take the place of the torn ligaments (撕裂的韧带) in the body. Plane makers and makers of protective clothing also see many uses for the new silk. Senior researcher Anna Rising spoke about how the new discovery could be. She said, This is the first successful example of copying spider silk-making process. In the future, this may allow industrial production of man-made silk, which can be used in many fields and make our life much better. The silk could become a valuable material for us.31 .
