三、阅读与回答问题
Life is like the four seasons.
Now I am very old, but when I was young, it was the spring of my life. After I was born, I played a lot, and then I started school. I learnt many new things. Like a tree, I grew bigger every day. There were happy days and sad days. Some days the sun shone, and some days it didn’t.
In my twenties, I had a good job. I was strong and happy. Then I married and had a child. In those days I didn’t have much time to think or to play. Every day I was busy and worked hard. I started to get some white hair. The summer of my life passed quickly.
Then the days got shorter. Leaves fell from the trees. My child was a university student and then an engineer. My home was much quieter. I walked more slowly. One day I stopped working and retired. I had more time. I understood this was my autumn, a beautiful time when the trees change colours and give us delicious fruits.
But the days kept getting shorter and colder. Winter has come. I am older and weaker. I know I do not have many days left, but I will enjoy them to the end.
