9、s by giving money B B One morning in mid summer, I headed out for some time to myself on the trails of Fontenelle Forest in Bellevue, Nebraska. It was a typical warm and humid summer day in Nebraska. Starting out on the lush green trail, I was already uncomfortably warm. The bugs were everywhere: mo
10、squitoes, gnats, flies, bees, you name it. I followed the stream trail, which made its way through four-foot high grass. I tried to enjoy the setting but had to constantly fan away the bugs in front of my face. I grew increasingly frustrated. Eventually becoming exasperated with the bugs, I stopped
11、dead in my tracks and waved my arms all around while turning around in a circle. At the very moment, I saw what I had missed the moment before. It seems that a deer had been nestled in the tall grass just one foot from where I stood. I missed it because of my preoccupation with the insects which I b
12、elieved were bent on ruining my morning. When I started making such a fit, the deer was forced to abandon its spot. It leaped in the air right before my eyes, literally, and dashed off for better cover. It was too late. I missed it. Now I was attentive and ready to see what was around me, but the si
13、ght that might have been seen was gone. I missed the enjoyment of being so close to wildlife! Immediately I wondered what else I was missing, and not just there on the trail. I wondered how the bothersome bugs of my life kept me from noticing really important stuff. This has become a life lesson tha

17、the ball. Missiles hit an airplane. A car hits a tree. “Hit” also joins with other words to create many colorful expressions. One is hit the road. It means to travel or to leave a place, as suggested in this song, “Hit the Road.“ Another common expression is hit the spot. At first it meant hitting a
18、 spot at the center of a target with an arrow. Someone who did so was satisfied with his shooting. Now, hitting the spot usually means that a food or drink is especially satisfying. Another expression involving hit is hit bottom. Something that has hit bottom can go no lower. If the price of shares
19、of a stock hits bottom , it might be the time to buy it. Its value can only go up. When a students grades hit bottom it is time to hit the books. Hit the books is another way to saying it is time to study. Not hitting the books could lead to an unpleasant situation for a student. The father or mothe
20、r may hit the ceiling when they see the low grades. Someone who hits the ceiling, the top of the room, is violently angry. A wife may hit the ceiling because her husband forgot their wedding anniversary. To build something of wood, you usually need a hammer. That is what you use to hit nails into th
21、e pieces of wood to hold them together. When you hit the nail on the head, exactly on its top, it goes into the wood perfectly. And when someone says your words or actions hit the nail on the head, he means what you said or did was exactly right. If you are tired after hitting all those nails on the
