Their big old house was cozy, and I felt especially welcome and relaxed in Grannys small kitchen. It was there that we had good conversations, and Granny could always tell something meaningful. I remember one Saturday morning when I was about 11 years old. After breakfast I asked Granny, What kind of soup are you making today? Vegetable beef, she answered. And you can help me to prepare. So we got the vegetables from the refrigerator: onions, carrots, potatoes and so on. She gave me a knife and cutting board so I could do my share of the work. As I slowly peeled carrots, I began to complain, Ive got to give an oral book report next week and Im scared. Granny looked at me and said, Most people are afraid of public speaking. But you could try practicing in front of a mirror. Such words were not very comforting, and I went on to complain about schoolwork, friends and family. Granny listened patiently. Then she sat down next to me. I stopped cutting and looked into my grandmothers eyes. Nancy, she started, theres nothing wrong with a little trouble in your life. It adds character. You know, a lot of people dont make homemade soup these days. They say its too much trouble. But I dont mind a little trouble, she said. It adds variety and flavor to my soup, and to my life. You have to remember that God knows exactly what hes cooking up in your life. Youve got to trust him with the recipe. She smiled and then walked away. That Saturday, Granny gave me food for thought as well as a bowl of her homemade soup. As I enjoyed the meal with my grandparents, somehow my problems didnt seem quite so big anymore. Maybe I too could turn a little trouble into something as special as Grannys homemade soup.6.

Nobody says Christmas likes a six-foot pine cut down and erected in your living room for your holiday enjoyment. If you choose to buy a real tree and not a plastic one, here are some tips on how to keep it fresh for your party. First, cut off an inch from the bottom of the tree trunk so that it will absorb water better. Then place it in a tree stand that holds at least one gallon of water, and water the tree every day. Second, before any tree-trimming takes place, spray the tree with something that will prevent the needles from losing water. You can also prevent the tree needles from browning by keeping decorative lights off during the daytime because the heat from the light dries out the needles. Third, keep the tree away from the fireplace and candles. A tree on fire is not a fresh tree. Then you should decide on whether you want to decorate the tree before your party, or if you want to make tree-trimming a party activity. Either way, you have to prepare a box of things to add to the tree. You might also want to decorate your tree with little stockings that have your guests names written on. You can stuff the stockings with candy and give them to your guests as party favors. As a last suggestion, you can ask everyone to bring something to decorate the tree, and have a competition to see who brings the best thing. In this way, you will start a tradition and cover your tree all at once!11.

I also think it is important to keep it looking and feeling fresh. This is why I am always open to rearranging items around my home. And the best part of this re-decorating solution is that it often costs very little, even not at all. All it takes is your fresh, new eyes. For example, a picture that has been in your living room for way too long might look terrific in the hallway. And a small lamp that is tucked away in your basement can bring a great feel to your bathroom. Now you see, thats the secret to make your home feel different.思考/准备 学生答案：得分：0分。 您可以修改得分： 012345678910 Section C Directions: Look at the picture below, which is about a house.
