Question

【题目】阅读短文，根据要求完成文后的题目。
There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge thingstoo quickly. So he sent them to go and look at a pear tree far away in turns.
Thefirst son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, andthe youngest son in the fall.
When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what theyhad seen. The first son said that the tree was ugly. The second son said no; itwas covered with green leaves, and full of hope. The third so n disagreed. Hesaid there were many flowers that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, itwas the most wonderful thing he had ever seen. The last son disagreed with allof them, he said there was lots of fruit in the tree, full of life and harvest（收获）.
The manthen explained to his sons that they were all right, but they had each seenonly one season in the tree's life. He told them" You cannot judge a tree,or a person by only one season and its true nature —the pleasure, joy, and lovethat come from that life can only be judged at the end, when all the seasonsare up."
If yougive up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beautyof your summer, harvest of your fall. Don't let the pain of one season kill thejoy of all the rest.
