五、阅读理解
In a small village, there was a middle-aged postman who just turned 40 years old. He had been delivering all kinds of happy or sad stories to each home day after day for 20 years. Over two decades, many changes took place, but the road from the post office to the village still had no trees, and nothing but flying dust could be seen.
"How long will I go along this lonely road?" As soon as he thought he must spend his life riding the bike on the dusty road with no flowers or trees, he felt somewhat sorry.
One day when he finished delivering the letters and was ready to return, he happened to pass by a flower shop. "Right, that's it!" he thought. He walked into the shop, bought a handful of wild flower seeds, and from the next day on he put these seeds along the roadside. Thus, after one day, two days, one month, two months. . . he always kept putting the wild flower seeds along the roadside.
Before long, on the lonely road where he had come and gone for 20 years, grew up a lot of little flowers, blooming endlessly in all seasons.
For the villagers, the flowers were more enjoyable than any mail the postman had delivered in all his life. On the road without dust but full of petals(花瓣), the postman rode his bike, losing himself in the sweet smell and not feeling lonely and anxious any more.
