It grows slow, straight and strong. It's even thought to be a symbol of strength.A few years ago there was a big storm in Britain. It destroyed many old oaks that people thought could never be destroyed. There were also some bamboo trees at a zoo in Britain but they survived. The British were surprised. How could thin, fragile（脆的）bamboo trees survive a big storm when strong oaks could not?The reason is flexibility（柔韧性，灵活性）. The oak trees fought against the wind with their strength but the wind turned out to be stronger. The bamboo trees didn't. Their flexibility allowed them to bend and let the wind pass by.Life is full of changes and we really can't stop them. Recently some students at my school were upset when they got a new English teacher. They liked their old teacher and they didn't like the new one who had a different personality and a different style of teaching. Some students behaved（表现）like oaks. They refused to change and just stopped learning. Other students behaved like bamboo. It's no surprise that the marks of the 'oak' students went down but the marks of the 'bamboo' students went up.When changes come in your life, don't fight against them and break like an oak, bend a little like bamboo and you will achieve success.91. What is the oak thought to be ?92. What did a big storm do to many old oak trees in Britain a few years ago?93. Does the underlined word 'survived' in paragraph two mean 'continued to live' or 'stoppedgrowing'?94. How do bamboo trees show their flexibility in a storm?95.
