12．There was a young woman who took great pride in her flower garden．She was raised by her grandmother who taught her to love and （16）Bfor flowers．So her flower garden was the best．
One day，while she was looking through a flower list she often （17）C from，a picture of a plant caught her eyes．She had never（18）Ablooms（花） on a flower like that before．"I have to have it，"she said to herself，and she （19）D ordered it．
When it arrived，she already had a （20）Aprepared to plant it．She planted it at the back of her yard．It grew well，with beautiful green leaves all over it，（21）Dthere were no blooms．Day after day she continued to water it，feed it，and she even talked to it trying to make it bloom．However，it was （22）B．
One morning weeks later，when standing before the vine，she felt very （23）Cthat her plant had not bloomed．She was giving thought to （24）B it down and planting something else in its place．
It was at this point that her neighbor，whose （25）D joined hers，called over to her．"Thank you so much!You can't imagine how much I have （26）A the blooms of that vine you planted．"The young woman walked （27）A the gate into her neighbor's yard，and sure enough，she saw that on the other side of the wall the vine was （28）C with blooms．
There were indeed the most beautiful blooms she had （29）B seen．The vine had grown through the crevices（缝隙） and it had not flowered on （30）C side of the wall，but it had flowered on the other side．
Sometimes one may not see the good result of his effort，but that doesn't mean it isn't successful．

11．Almost all the students go to traditional schools now．But there will probably be a new type of education in the future-open education．
There are some very good things about open education．This way of teaching allows the students to develop their interests in many subjects．Open education asks students to be strict with their own education．The open classroom may help them to enjoy learning．Some students will be happier in an open education school．They will not have to worry about grades or rules．
But many students may not do well in open education．They will not make good use of open education．Because open education is so different from traditional education，these students may have a problem of getting used to making so many choices．The last point about open education is that some teachers do not like it．They do not believe in open education．
I think that open education is only a good idea．It may not work very well in a real class or school．I believe that most students want and need to have some rules．They have to study some subjects．Many students are pleased to find the subjects that they have to study so interesting．They will not study those subjects if they do not have to in an open education school．
