Lesson58 A blessing in disguise?

The tiny village of Frinley is said to possess a 'cursed tree'. Because the tree was mentioned in a newspaper, the number of visitors to Frinley has now increased. The tree was planted near the church fifty years ago, but it is only in recent years that it has gained an evil reputation. It is said that if anyone touches the tree, he will have bad luck; if he picks a leaf, he will die. Many villagers believe that the tree has already claimed a number of victims. The vicar has been asked to have the tree cut down, but so far he has refused. He has pointed out that the tree is a useful source of income, as tourists have been coming from all parts of the country to see it. In spite of all that has been said, the tourists have been picking leaves and cutting their names on the tree-trunk. So far, not one of them has been struck down by sudden death!

练习感悟：周二，上午去操场跑了10公里。下午看了一部电影《我不是药神》，很久很久没有看过电影了，有好几年了，自从生了二宝，几乎把所有的精力都放在照顾她的身上。也分不开身，现在是这样的美好，每分每秒，无论是学习英语，读书，看电影，做任何一件事情都是万分珍惜。
