A Under the azure blue sky, the vast expanse of rose red is so delicate, so clear, and so pearlescent.

B I have also observed this slender grass carefully. Its roots are not very deep, but there are many fibrous roots, which are densely packed and tightly clinging to the soil on the beach. In this way, regardless of the sea, Whether it is the waves hitting the shore or the gentle caressing, it will stick there. When the tide recedes, it will continue to reveal its bright red calmly and calmly.

C There is no fragrance of flowers or birdsong in this endless open space. Only the clusters of reeds dotted in it tell their desolate charm in the autumn wind, even the gulls flying by from time to time. Quietly, making no sound.

Waiting like a flower

Touched

① Lilac is the city flower of Harbin, which blooms every spring and summer. , the whole city became a sea of ??lilacs. Lilacs can be seen everywhere, but the lilacs in Harbin have a special characteristic: they often bloom all of a sudden when people don't expect them. This makes people feel like spring has arrived in the city overnight. In the north, there are many flowers like this, such as wintersweet, apricot blossom, crabapple...the buds of these flowers tend to hang on the branches for a long time without any action, and then on a certain day or at a certain moment, Then "suddenly a spring breeze came overnight, and thousands of trees and flowers bloomed."

②Why do flowers choose a moment to bloom at the same time? A biologist solved this mystery.

③The north is located in high latitudes, where winters are long and springs are short. Sometimes, even if spring comes, the weather tends to change a lot. The sun may be shining brightly during the day, while cold currents may invade from time to time at night. In this way, even within a day, the temperature difference is huge. A In this kind of climate, if the flowers bloom rashly, they will be crushed into mud and dust by the ruthless cold wind. BSo smart flowers are always in a state of budding, looking for the best time to bloom. They may wait for a week, or sometimes a month, until one early morning in mid-April or later, when people go out on the street, they will suddenly smell the fragrance of flowers and see flowers blooming all over the city. The flowers in the north, because they are good at waiting, have avoided the disaster of being frozen and died, brought a vibrant spring, and completed the task of reproduction.

④We should learn from those flowers. Sometimes, there is only one thing we can do, and that is to wait, like a bud in bud. This kind of waiting is not passive and lazy, but accumulating strength; it is not hesitating, but keeping a low profile. Once the time is right, all the accumulated strength will be exploded. If this is the case in life, it will be as gorgeous and fragrant as a flower. .

Read Hu Xichun’s beautiful article "You are a Scenery" and answer questions 1-5.

You are a scenery

Hu Xichun

① Born in the world and existing in the universe, you are neither more nor less than others. Standing under the scorching sun, facing the bright moonlight, you are not lacking in mind and strength. As long as you have the courage to show your talents, personality and style, then there is no need for you to look up to others. You are a sight!

②Don’t hide behind the mountains and seas of clouds, or hide in the green bamboo forests. You are just a stone in the towering mountains, or a plant in the green forest. So you don’t need to be in awe of the famous mountains and rivers, or admire the lonely smoke in the desert. Your existence itself explains all the scenery in the world; your existence is annotating a style of the times!

There is no need to crowd, you stand in your own position, ③ constantly show the rich connotation of your inner world, give beauty to the pale surroundings, poetry to vulgar days, and dull air Brighten up the sun every day with freshness, and play your favorite heart song with the strings of nature.

Natural beauty has a naturalness that is not affected by people's will. Plum blossoms have their own charm of plum blossoms, and red apricots have their own beauty of red apricots. Nowadays, it is often more important to recognize oneself than to look at others. There is no need to praise others and belittle yourself. You should stand up decisively and compete with the best scenery. As long as you pursue unremittingly, I believe you are no worse than others. Really, you can do it!

④The beauty of green bamboo, the majesty of green pines, the gracefulness of willows, and the gentleness of orchids all naturally endow them with different styles, and they all show the brilliance of life in their own piece of land. What we need now is not self-effacement, but self-confidence. For a long time, false modesty has destroyed the expression of personality. Imitation, dressing up, and plastic surgery have made it impossible for people to recognize your true face and not know which one is you. The scene is like pottery figurines of the same specifications fired in ancient brick kilns.

The scenery here is unique! The beauty lies in the single word.

We have too neglected this "independence".

The scenic spots recognized by people in the world are all unique: the Egyptian pyramids, the ancient Great Wall of China, the Arc de Triomphe in France, the Colosseum in Rome... The beautiful scenery that is praised by people in the world is also unique: ⑤Sunrise on Mount Tai, Venice Water City, Tropical Rainforest, Sahara Desert...

Most of the people who can be remembered by us are rich in personality traits: Ah Q's "happiness", Robinson Crusoe's perseverance, Wang Xifeng's smile hiding a knife, Osei Luo's jealousy kills...

⑥ Let your personality accompany you, it should be a high mountain when you stand, and you will be a roadbed when you fall; ⑦ It inspires people when it is complete, and it reminds people when it is broken... You are no more than others , no less than others, you don’t need to look into people’s eyes to know that you make a statement with your figure in the sun:

You are a scenery!
