城市里的树
王亚田
树是城市的客人，树要在客人家里度过一生。
树的故乡在山林和旷野，那里有鸟语花香，有潺潺溪水，有它们相濡以沫的兄弟姐妹。如果它们的数量足够多，就构成了森林。自从有了城市，树的家族中一部分成员就背井离乡，来到城市的大街小巷。树一到城市，面临的是另一种森林——由高楼大厦构成的丛林。这里没有鸟语花香，只有车水马龙；没有潺潺溪水，只有钢筋水泥。从此，树看不见了土地。
人把自己弄得彻底与大地隔绝，而树永远需要脚踏实地。但是在城市水泥、柏油、砖块把土地覆盖．像古代犯人脖子上的枷板，把树干和树根隔开。水、泥，这是多么柔软的两个字眼，但组合成一个词时，就成为最坚硬的一种东西。城市的路面是不吸水的，每到下大点的雨，雨水便会沿路面滚滚而下，流进下水道，而不是树根，我就想树渴了怎么办？它会不会渴死呢，因为有了坚固的路面。城市的树也就不会“落叶归根”，树把叶子生出来，但叶子却找不到根，它们随风而飘，就像丢失的找不到父母的孩子。
人们不会给一棵树起一个名字，树总是以类的名义而存在，比如梧桐、白杨、松柏，其实每棵树也像每个人一样是不同的。城市的树不能像山林里的树那样自由生长，经常会被修剪，砍去旁逸斜出的枝条．这种修剪不是为了让树成材，而是嫌那些多余的枝条碍事。但修剪是人的事，而长成什么样子是树的事，现在的树与一千年前的树没有什么区别，但现在的人与一千年前的人已大不一样，绝大多数人都在按照别人的意志生活。
城市的树身上，经常贴满了办证电话、招聘启事、治病广告。每天上班路上，就可以看到一排梧桐树，每棵树上都密密麻麻地写上了各种电话号码，有的树干上电话能达到一二十个。树不但承受着污染，有时还得承受疼痛。经常会看到有的树上都钉进了钉子，上面挂着拖把，应该是路旁的几家小店干的。他们把自家店面拖得干干净净，却把拖把挂在了树上。
在我上班路上有一家花店就是如此干的，看着那些美丽的鲜花，突然觉得美和丑，距离竟是如此的近。
城市的道路不断在拓宽，而每次拓宽道路对树来说都可能是一次灾难，因为道路拓宽后原来在路边的树就处于了路蹭，这些树要么被砍伐，要么被重新移到新道路的边上，反正树永远只能靠边站。但是人挪活，树挪死。树被移动后，等于经历了一场浩劫，它枝头上原先的枝条要被全部砍掉，这就像一个得了重病的人做化疗、放疗后会失去一头的秀发。记得电视上介绍过山西的一个小城，一条主干道的中央长着一棵粗壮的古树，人流车流都绕着这棵树走。这是我见过的（而且是在电视上）唯一一棵长在路中间的树。我在想，这座城市当年修这条路时，可能有关部门对这棵树的去留进行过激烈的争论，最终他们决定留下这棵树，因为这棵树的年龄比这座城市里所有的人、建筑都要老。一瞬间我竟然有一种感动，觉得这个城市的人真伟大。
树在城市，一生过得伤痕累累。有一次在一个省会城市，我看见一棵合抱粗的梧桐树，被一辆满载货物的卡车拦腰撞断。从卡车头部凹进去的深度，能想象到当时的速度和冲击力。生活中，我常常发现一些善良、正直的人受到伤害，很长时间我想不通这是为什么。看见这棵被撞断的树后，我想通了，善良而正直的人与善良而正直的树有同样的遭遇，因为善良，他们都手无寸铁，虽然他们不会伤害别人，但别人却有可能欺负他们，而且由于善良者不善反击，那些欺负他们的人更可能有恃无恐，恶人反倒无人敢惹。因为正直，他们都不会弯曲和躲闪。伤害来临，会受伤更重。
我每天都会看见树，看见树的时候常常眼睛发潮，总是充满伤感。城市里的树就像进城的农民工，无依无靠。它们受尽委屈，却毫无怨言，受尽伤害，却充满宽容。树最终会原谅这一切，它必须在城里活下去。与世无争的树，笑看忙碌的人类，不知它们能看懂不？走在大街上，我看到所有的东西几乎都与钱有关，商店、饭店、银行、汽车、人流、叫卖声，只有树与利益无关。树只与阳光和土地发生联系。也许正因为树不产生效益，所以它们很多时候生活在人们的视线之外，人们漠视树，与漠视空气一样严重。其实树在城市完全是为人民服务的。树给人的很多，人给树的很少．但是似乎并没有多少人真正对树心存感激。如果城市没有树，只有柏油马路、钢筋水泥、高楼大厦，那么城市将会是多么地坚硬和干枯。正是树摇曳的身姿、葱笼的绿意．给了我们温柔、诗意、生动和美。
树一辈子站在一个地方，一动不动，不言不语，一世沉默。你如果与一棵树交上朋友，它会永远站在那里等你。

CCTV held a charity show in May to raise money for the earthquake-hit areas in Sichuan. Many famous stars took part in the show. (A) They didn’t ask for any pay, they all did it for free. There were a lot of performances like singing, dancing and cross-talks(相声 ). (B)The audience(观众) were so excited that they clapped(鼓掌) their hands all the time. Almost everyone was moved to cry by a lot of sad or moving stories. During the performances, they donated money to the disaster areas(灾区). The show was so successful.

Besides that, many other stars are doing things for disaster areas in many ways. Kungfu star Jackie Chan and the foundation(基金) named Hong Kong Emperor Group have together donated 10 million yuan. And he also sent his consolation(安慰) to the people in the disaster areas and encouraged them to hold on because “People all over the country are with you.” Xiao Ke, a songwriter, wrote and recorded a song “I Know You Will Come” to warm the hearts of the people in despair(绝望). CCTV’s top show “The Same Song” also held a charity special to help them.

Both the ticket money and the donated money will be sent to the disaster areas. As the Chinese saying goes (C) “One in trouble, all to help.” I believe that the whole world will become better if everyone of us gives charity to others.

What is it like being an actor? Many people think it must be wonderful because we travel to exciting places, wear beautiful clothes and (A)挣钱多. This is only one aspect(方面) of our lives though. We also work very hard.
I played a country girl in my last (B) movie. I had to live in a small village with the other actors for part of the winter. (C)It was really hard for me as I grew up in a city. To help me play a country girl better, I cooked for myself and the others every day. I even walked a few miles sometimes to get water, as there was none in the houses. I wanted to understand how a real village girl lived. I thought it was fun at first. I felt different after a week or two, though.
I did wear some beautiful traditional clothes, but they were not thick enough. I was very cold but I had to keep smiling all the time! One day, I couldn’t do it any longer and I suddenly (D) started crying, “Great!” said the director. “I like it. She is crying with true feelings!” I called my mum to tell (E) Her about it but my mobile phone (手机) wouldn’t work in the village.
