5．Every year on my birthday since I was 11，a white gardenia （栀子花） was sent to my house．No card ever came with it．Calls to the flower shop were not helpful at all．After some time I stopped trying to find out the sender's name and was just pleased with the beautiful flower，in soft pink paper．
I couldn't stop imagining who the giver might be．Some of my happiest moments were spent daydreaming（幻想）about the sender．My mother encouraged these daydreams．She'd ask me if I had been especially kind to someone．Perhaps it was one of my classmates．Perhaps it was the old man who I once helped．As a girl，I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy that I had met．
A month before my high school graduation（毕业），my father died．I was so sad that I became completely uninterested in my coming graduation dance，and I didn't care whether I had a new dress or not．My mother，in her own sadness，would not let me miss （过） any of those things．She wanted her children to feel loved．In fact，my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenia：lovely，strong and perfect．
My mother died ten years after I was married．That was the year the gardenia stopped coming．

4．At many Thanksgiving dinners，everyone around the table shares something they are thankful for．
As we know，most can do this easily．It's more important to know how to be thankful people all the time．
     Be positive（乐观）．No matter what happens，it's best to remember the good things．Find the bright side in bad situations，and push back against negative（负面的） opinions．Also，do your best not to
compare yourself to others．But when you're around others，give expression to what you like about them．By keeping good in mind，you'll give thanks for it even more than before．
     Accept the negative．At the same time，we can't pay no attention to bad things that have happened．We should learn from mistakes．It makes us become strong．Before we know it，we're thankful for negative things，too．Our mistakes can also make us humble（谦逊的），which is not all bad．Humble people have better relationships and see life's blessings（祝福） much more clearly!
     Acts of kindness．Thankful people know that it's much better to give than to receive．When you're thankful，you feel it's your duty to show love to others．Some people volunteer to help people in need．Studies show that volunteers might feel happier and healthier．
     Use of time．By spending time with others，you show them how much they mean to you．But being thankful is also better realized by spending time alone．When you're alone，you can think about the best parts of you day． You can list them out and think them over．You can find your way to make Thanksgiving a part of you life．How wonderful it is!Just enjoy it every day!

                                          You Can Make a Windsock（风筒）
     Have you ever seen a windsock blowing in the wind？Well，you can make
one of your own!This is a fun project that you can do with things you may
have．You just need to follow a few easy steps．
You will need：
●one piece of heavy colored paper
●five ribbons
●strong tape
●a string
●a pencil
What to do：
     Step 1：Draw pictures on the paper．You can write your name on it．Do anything that will make it
                  special to you．
     Step 2：Make the paper into the shape of a tube．Hold one of the shorter edges（边缘） over the
                  other．Then make them together with the tape at each end and in the middle．
     Step 3：Use a pencil to make a hole into both sides of the tube．The holes should be only on one end
                  of the tube．Pull the string through both holes．Then tie the ends of the string together．
     Step 4：Now make five holes around the top of the other end of the tube．Put a ribbon through each
                  of the holes．Tie a knot in the ends．Make sure the knots are bigger than the holes．
     Now your windsock is ready to use，but how does it work？The shape of the tube plays an important part．Wind blows through the tube and makes it fly and dance around．Hold the windsock up in the air by its string and run around．It will fly behind you．You can also hang it outside and watch it dance around

2．Bamboo is one of the nature's most surprising plants．（61）许多人称这种植物为树，但它是一种草．
Like other kinds of grass，a bamboo plant may be cut very low to the ground，but it will grow back very quickly．A Japanese scientist recorded one bamboo plant that grew almost 1.5 meters in 24 hours!Bamboo grows almost everywhere in the world except Europe．（62）There are more than 1，000 kinds of bamboo that grow around the world on both mountains and plains （平原）．
Not all bamboo looks the same．Some bamboo plants are very thin．They may only grow to be a few centimeters wide while others may grow to more than 30 centimeters across．This plant also comes in different colors，from yellow to black to green．
Many Asian countries have been using bamboo for hundreds of years．They often use bamboo for building new buildings．As a matter of fact，the cables （绳索） that hold up the hanging bridge across the Min River in Sichuan are made of bamboo．The bridge has been in use for more than 1，000 years，and is still holding strong．
In Africa，（63）engineers are teaching poor farmers how to use bamboo to find water ．These African countries need cheap ways to find water because （64 ）they save no money，and their fields often die from no rain and no water．It seems that bamboo is one of the best things they can use．Bamboo pipes and drills （钻） can help to make the poor thirsty fields be watered．

      Probably the biggest difference between American and British English is the vocabulary．Different words and expressions are used to talk about the same thing．For example，in the United States，people
throw their garbage into the trash can．In England，people throw their rubbish into the dustbin．In Britian，people take a lift to the fifth floor．In America，people take an elevator．
      American and British grammar can be also different．For example，speakers of British English will
ask，what did you do at the weekend，but Americans usually say"on the weekend"．In the United States
people usually say"I have gotten a new car．"，but in the UK，they will say"I have just got a new car．"
     The pronunciation in American and British English is also different，and even when the spelling is the
same．The word"tomato"---pronounced"to-mah-to"in British English--is a classic example of this．
     Vocabulary，grammar and pronunciation are three ways English is different in different parts of the
world．Learning all this is not easy，so English learners should just know that they are always there．
