一、每日一句
- We all make choices, but in the end our choices make us.
我们都要做很多选择，最终这些选择创造了我们。
二、背景知识
1、 阿尔卑斯山上的玫瑰
其实这里的玫瑰，极有可能是阿尔卑斯山上著名的“高山玫瑰杜鹃”，德语名为“Alpenrose”(阿尔卑斯山的玫瑰）。它生长在阿尔卑斯山的高山地带，开花期是5-7月，色彩鲜艳，当地农民称之为“真正的高山玫瑰”。它之所以能够在极度严酷的环境中生长，是因为它有着能防止脱水的干细胞，这种干细胞具有再生的属性，能让植物在它的存活期内不断地产生新细胞。此外，它还具有高含量的多酚粗提液成分（能抵抗病毒和细菌）、花旗松素、抗氧化剂和抗病毒成分，这些元素都能够帮助它充分抵御极干旱环境。
