The thick, heavy plant was covering a door. Marys heart was beating fast and her hands were shaking as she pushed the leaves away and found the keyhole. She took the key out of her pocket, and it fit the hole. Using both hands, she managed to unlock the door. Then she turned round to see if anyone was watching. But there was no one, so she pushed the door, which opened, slowly, for the first time in ten years. She walked quickly in and closed the door behind her. At last she was inside the secret garden!It was the loveliest, most exciting place she had ever seen. There were old rose trees everywhere, and the walls were covered with climbing roses. She looked carefully at the grey branches (枝条). Were the roses still alive? Ben would know. She hoped they werent all dead. But she was inside the wonderful garden, in a world of her own. It seemed very strange and silent, but she did not feel lonely at all. Then she noticed some small green shoots coming up through the grass. So something was growing in the garden after all! When she found a lot more shoots in different places, she decided they needed more air and light, so she began to pull out the thick grass around them. She worked away, clearing the ground, for two or three hours, and had to take her coat off because she got so hot. The robin hopped around, pleased to see someone gardening.30 .

How many years has the garden been empty?ANeverB10C5D133 . Why did Mary pull out the thick grass around the shoots?ABecause the thick grass was ugly.BBecause she wanted to plant more rose trees.CBecause she wanted to give shoots more air and light.DBecause she felt hot in this secret garden.When my daughter was in primary school, one day she brought home 4 tiny trees, which were given to the students by the school to plant. None of them looked very strong but with a hope for the future.I planted them in our backyard. Over the years an accident brought an end to three of them. All that was left was a weak tree. It grew very slowly and never got very tall. I noticed a few years ago that it was starting to die. The needles on the branches had turned brown. Only the top third of the tree was still green.Last summer I did my best to save it but it was useless. This morning I went out and looked at it again. I was deciding on whether it would be better to just cut it down.As I walked over to take a closer look at it, however, I noticed something moving within the needles. It was a bird patiently building a nest in the top branches.I smiled when I looked at it and decided that maybe this old tree had some life and usefulness left in it yet. It may not be healthy or pretty but it was still giving a bird a home and oxygen (氧气) to this world.This tree reminded me of something too. All of our lives have purpose. All of our lives have meaning. It doesnt matter if we are young and strong or old and sickly. Until our last breath there are things for us to do, love for us to give, and joy for us to share. Until our last moment here we can help to make this world a better and more beautiful place.34 . None of the tiny trees looked _.AshortBtallCweakDstrong35 .

When I got the chance to go to Journalism Camp, I was afraid. Of the 19 other students there, I Knew no one. What if I had to go home during camp time because I wouldnt be able to get used to the new situation? What if my roommate and I dont get along? How do I even use a washing machine?Well, after the first night, nearly all of my problems were solved. The students were amazing, and my roommate was perfect. She knew how to do crazy braids(辫子) with my long hair and she loved to listen to me talk loudly! I couldnt have asked for more.The two weeks nearly flew by, and I learned to take responsibility for myself: washing clothes, cleaning and other things like that.However, in the process I didnt realize how tied I had become to the usual order of waking up early, running to get to the newsroom in time, and coming back to a large room full of friends who shared similar feelings as I did. On the last day, I couldnt get myself to turn in my room keys. It couldnt be over. I become emotionally tied really easily, so it was hard for me to pull away. I couldnt push away my tears. Leaving camp Just left me empty.I wasnt having the “blues”, but I felt really sad about leaving. Returning home, I was in the state of disappointment for a few days. I kept to myself, sleeping through most of the day so I wouldnt have time to look back. I needed to get used to life at home again. This was my challenge. I was lucky to have the two-week experience, but I had to learn to accept that not all things last forever.I could still keep in touch with my new friends while continuing on with the rest of my summer. I know I will go through the same experience when I leave high school after senior year. High school life will never return after graduation, but I can still keep in touch with my friends and look forward to other experiences I will have.46 .

You have to get there early and wait for hours for the plane to take off and it is often late. You cant open the windows. You cant choose the food. Planes are fast, but they still take hours to go out of the airport and into the city.I like traveling by train. I think trains are safe. Railway stations are usually in cities. When you are late for a train, you can catch another one. You can walk around in the train and open the windows. You can see many interesting things on your way. I know it takes a little more time. I also like traveling by cars. You can start your journey when you want to, and you dont need to get to a railway station or a bus stop. Also you can carry many things with you in a car. But sometimes there are too many cars on the road.51 . Why do many people like to travel by plane?52 . What can you do in the train?53 .

One way we can do this is by finding out the theme of the texts.The theme of a text is the “big idea” that runs through the text, connecting the characters and events. It is what the writer wants to tell us through the story. Usually the theme of a text isnt told directly, you have to use clues (线索) in the text to find it out. _Themes can be ideas like family, friendship, love and so on. The theme might not be just one word, but it might be an idea such as “Friendship is important.” There may also be more than one theme in a story. How can we find out the theme of a text? The following steps may help you.Read through the whole text. Usually characters change as the story goes on, so the theme you get at the beginning might not be t
