未知题型 SECTION A CHINESE TO ENGLISHDirections: Translate the following text into English.乡下老家前面的空地，租给人家种桃花心木的树苗。树苗种下来后，植树人总是隔几天才来浇水。他来的天数并没有规则，有时三天，有时五天，有时十几天来一次。浇水的量也不一定，有时浇得多，有时浇得少。桃花心木有时就莫名地枯萎了，所以，他来的时候总会带几株树苗补种。我起先以为他太懒，隔那么久才为树浇水。但是，懒的人怎么会知道有几棵树枯萎了呢?他说：“种树是百年基业，所以树木自己要学会在土地里找水源。我浇水只是模仿老天下雨，老天下雨是算不准。如果无法在这种不确定中汲水生长，树苗很自然就枯萎了。但是，只要在不确定中找到水源，拼命扎根的树，长成百年的大树就不成问题了。”
