一、每日一句

• We all make choices, but in the end our choices make us.
  我們都要做很多選擇，最終這些選擇創造了我們。

二、背景知識

1、 阿爾卑斯山上的玫瑰

其實這裡的玫瑰，極有可能是阿爾卑斯山上著名的“高山玫瑰杜鵑”，德語名為“Alpenrose”(阿爾卑斯山的玫瑰）。它生長在阿爾卑斯山的高山地帶，開花期是5-7月，色彩鮮豔，當地農民稱之為“真正的高山玫瑰”。它之所以能夠在極度嚴酷的環境中生長，是因為它有著能防止脫水的幹細胞，這種幹細胞具有再生的屬性，能讓植物在它的存活期內不斷地產生新細胞。此外，它還具有高含量的多酚粗提液成分（能抵抗病毒和細菌）、花旗鬆素、抗氧化劑和抗病毒成分，這些元素都能夠幫助它充分抵禦極乾旱環境。
