篇章导读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。讲述了作者看到大树遭遇强风暴时，虽然树枝摇摆弯曲，树叶飘落，甚至根部的泥土都有些松动，但是泥土深处的强劲根部，不仅给大树输送营养，还保障了大树的稳固性，使其在狂风肆虐之下得以生存。作者由此联想到人生，当我们遇到残酷的挑战时，应该像大树那样，从根部树立坚定的信念和勇往直前的勇气，坚忍不拔，不被困难打倒。

3．A.answered for C．catered for

答案：B 空格前一句“I couldn't but ask myself how deep the roots are in my life.”(我不禁问自己，我生命中的根有多深)和后面的“下一次当你发现你的孩子……时，当你的工作快把你逼疯时，当你的工资过低，你的……又很紧张时，当生命的风暴肆虐时，回到你的根部。”可知前后两句属于因果关系。therefore
