Plants need soil to grow in. They also need sun and water. Find a place that will get sunshine most of the day. Make sure it is near a supply of water. You will be able to bring water to your plants if there is not enough rain. Once you have found a good place, you will need three more things: seeds, some kind of plant food, and a few gardening tools.To give your seeds a good time, you must prepare the soil. First, loosen it so that the roots can push through it and so that water and air can get to the roots. Clear out stones, broken glass, and other things that do not belong in a garden. Add plant food and mix it into the top of the soil. Then make the garden smooth and flat.Now you are almost ready to plant the seeds. But first you must plant where the seeds will go. If possible, put them in rows. Check the directions the sunlight comes from. Put seeds for the tallest plants where they will not block light for the shorter plants. In that way, all of your plants will get as much sun as possible.56. What is this story about?A. Things to grow in a garden. B. Planting a garden.C. Kinds of gardens. D. Finding a good place for plants.57. Which of these things do you do last?A. Plant seeds. B. Loosen soil. C. Add plant food. D. Pull grass out58. Where do shorter plants go in a garden?A. They can be mixed with taller plants.B. They will be planted in front of the taller plants to get sunshine.C. They must be put behind.D. They can only be planted where there are no taller plants59. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Seeds of different kinds can grow in the same garden.B. All kinds of seeds can be mixed together.C. Seeds need water, sunshine and food.D. Seeds need loose soil to grow roots in.BIn every British town, large and small, you will find shops that sell second-hand goods. Sometimes such shops deal mostly in furniture, sometimes in books, sometimes in ornaments （装饰）and household goods, sometimes even in clothes.The furniture may often be “antique”, and it may well have changed hands many times. It may also be very valuable, although the most valuable piece will usually go to the London salerooms, where one piece might well be sold for hundreds of thousands of pounds. As you look around these shops and see the polished wood of chests and tables, you cannot help thinking of those long-dead hands which polished that wood, of those now-closed eyes which once looked at these pieces with love.The books, too, may be antique and very precious; some may be rare first printings. Often when someone dies or has to move house, his books may all be sold, so that sometimes you may find whole libraries in one shop. On the border(边境) between England and Wales, there is a town which has become a huge bookshop as well. Even the cinema and castle have been taken over, and now books have replaced sheep as the towns main trade.There are also much more humble shops, sometimes simply called “junk shops”where you can buy small household pieces very cheaply. Sometimes the profits （利润）from these shops go to charity（慈善事业）. Even these pieces, though, can make you feel sad; you think of those people who once treasured them, but who have moved on to another country or to death.Although the British do not worship（崇拜）their ancestors, they do treasure the past and the things of the past. This is true of houses as well. These days no one knocks them down; they are rebuilt until they are often better than new. In Britain, people do not buy something just because it is new. Old things are treasured for their proven worth; new things have to prove themselves before they are accepted.60. Books found in second-hand book shops may _.A. be copies of the earliest printingsB. be on sale for the first timeC. never be worth very muchD. never be rare61. What is the small town on the border between England and Wales famous for?A. Its sheep B. Its bookshopsC. Its cinema D. Its castle62. Second-hand goods sometimes fill you with sadness because _.A. they are too expensive for average buyersB. they remind you of the original ownersC. they are now forgottenD. they are sold for charity63. The average British person _.A. does not respect old things because they are not fashionableB. likes to build new houses simply because it is fashionable to do soC. likes to buy new things because they are fashionableD. does not like to buy things simply because they are fashionableCKings College Summer SchoolKings College Summer School is an annual( 每年的) training program for high school students at all levels who want to improve their English.

You can get in touch with the school by e-mail or by telephone.DChinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even to England, the United States or Australia. They also want their children to take extra course activities where they will either learn a music instrument or ballet, or other classes which will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their sons or daughters.However, what most parents fail to see is that the earliest education they can give their children is usually very cheap.Parents can see that their childrens skills vary, skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize, though, is that todays children lack self-respect and self-confidence.will give him satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence.Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set, that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not merely teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.68.
