Have you had this experience? You are watching a movie. A man is shooting on the screen. The picture is so real that you think he is shooting at you. Or a car is speeding on the screen and at one point you are afraid that it will hit you. Yes,it’s a three-dimensional(3D) movie.
　　3D movies use special technology to make pictures seem more real and exciting than two-dimensional ones.They are fun to watch, but do you know how they are made? It is much easier to understand if we do an experiment.
　　Hold one of your fingers up at arms length and close one eye. Then try closing the other eye. As you switch(切換) between open eyes, you should see your finger “jumping” left and right against the background.
　　This happens because our two eyes are about 4cm away from each other. The separation(分開) causes each eye to see the world from a different angle. The brain puts these two views together. What you see becomes three-dimensional.
　　3D movies are made using two video cameras at the same time, which creates two different images. When the movie plays in a cinema, two projectors(放映機) put the two images on the screen. With a pair of 3D glasses, the two images are separated and each image only enters one eye. Your brain puts the two pictures back together, and the pictures on the screen become three-dimensional.

So far we can only see 3D movies in the cinema with a special screen and projector. But soon, we will be able to watch them in our living rooms.

There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn to not judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away. The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in the summer, and the youngest son in the fall.

When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen. The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. The second son said no - it was covered with green buds and full of promise. The third son disagreed, he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, and it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen. The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.

The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but one season in the tree's life. He told them that they cannot determine a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the nature of who they are - and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life - can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are over.

If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, fulfillment of your fall. Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest.

Don't judge a life by one difficult season.
