This tree gave the most delicious avocados I have ever tasted. I lived on these avocados when nursing my first child. Fresh avocado was the very first food for my kids. This tree was so huge that it cast a massive shadow over our backyard. It was truly our magical tree. Until one day, someone from the Health Department came to tell us that our avocado tree was too large and needed trimming. In New York, you get in trouble if you don􀆳t clear the snow off your sidewalk. Here, it􀆳s when your trees are too high. So along came the trimmer, leaving just the trunk and a few branches. I was sad. The kids were all sad. Some friends who knew it would say, “It􀆳s going to grow back. Your next avocados will be crazy!” Yeah, whatever. The tree is gone, so stop doing that. It just didn􀆳t work. But a few days later, I noticed some unusual butterflies flying around the yard. And then, the sun came in the kitchen, creating this pleasant warmth once blocked by the huge tree. After about a month, I started to notice some tiny green shoots coming out of the cut branches, which eventually turned into full⁃on bright green leaves. I started to feel like all was going to be fine, kind of like life. Little do we know what seems really difficult is actually life􀆳s way of making us stronger. It􀆳s life􀆳s way of bringing in the butterflies, the sunshine, and the delightful flowers. We all know that saying, “It will be OK in the end. If it􀆳s not, it􀆳s not the end.” 作者家后院里长着一棵巨大的牛油果树,这棵树给作者一家带来了快乐。某天卫生部门的人要求作者修剪了这棵树,作者非常伤心。大约一个月后,牛油果树又充满了生机。作者因此感悟到看似困难的事情其实是生活让我们更坚强。 1.What is mainly conveyed in paragraph 2 about the avocado tree? A. Her kids􀆳 love for it. B. Its fruit􀆳s good taste. C. Her expectation of it. D. Its benefits for her family. 答案与解析　D　主旨大意题。由第二段的介绍“这棵树结出了我吃过的最美味
