10 . I was cutting up lettuce in the kitchen when I suddenly remembered watching a video about soaking the lettuce stub (莴苣残余部分) in water to grow a whole new vegetable. So I took out a wide-mouthed cup and placed the stub into it, gave it a little water, and placed it by the window.

On a snowy morning I noticed the first sign. A first small leaf from its heart spread out. A tiny green flag of hope. Beaten, but not defeated. This lettuce was not done living! Within days, it was impossible to see the cuts where I had removed the leaves. The growth was explosive. And when I lifted the blossoming head out of the cup, tiny root threads fell down, seeking for the earth. What is growing here? Lettuce or hope?

If I were a lettuce in a similar condition, I’d want to skeptically assess where I found myself before committing to full growth. Yet for this lettuce, my inadequate offering of water and a place by a window was enough for it to decide to reclaim itself again. It grew in a cup of water, in faith. This is the heart of this lettuce: alive, strong and fearless. It deserved a name. I decided to call it Monty.

Monty wanted to grow, as we all do. I think I gave him a little love and freedom. Those two were all he needed to return to himself. I see joy in this lettuce. The return to self is always an expression of joy, which is life itself. This is the tendency of all living things.

Monty still lives in a cup, but I’m going to transplant him outside. He deserves to become his full self. The only problem I see now is my ability to support Monty. I hope I have enough of a green finger.

I’m surprised to find myself where I am. Maybe Monty is, too. I have the same choice as he does: give in or start again. The prospect of starting again is discouraging. But my lettuce-friend, Monty, leads the way. I can only hope to be as brave.

1. Why did the author soak the stub in water?

A．To decorate the nice cup.	B．To hope that it would grow.
C．To make a video in person.	D．To remove kitchen rubbish.

2. What can we infer from paragraph two?

A．This lettuce showed no sign of recovery.

B．This lettuce was still fighting to survive.

C．Tiny root thread climbed out of the cup.

D．The cuts can still be seen where there used to be leaves.

3. How would the author feel if put in the lettuce’s situation?

A．Hesitant.

B．Fearless.

C．Aimless.

D．Annoyed.

4. What can we learn from Monty?

A．Never being afraid to restart yourself.	B．Believing in yourself when in trouble.
C．Enjoying your own life to the fullest.	D．Giving freedom to the heart in a way.
