In a small house outside London lives an old man. People often see him look his flowers in his garden all the time.
One day, a young painter (go) by the old man's house. He looked at the nice garden and the special room, picturing how happy he would be if he lived in such a (beauty) place. Suddenly he found the old gardener (terrible) blind. Shocked, he walked to the old man and asked, “Why are you taking care of the flowers every day which you can't see in fact?” The old man smiled, “I can tell you four reasons. First, I was gardener when I was young and I really love this job. Second, although I can't see these flowers, I can touch them. Third, I can smell the sweetness of them. As to the last, it's you.”
“Me? But you don't know me.” answered the painter, still puzzled.
“Yeah, it's true that I don't know you. I know flowers are gifts which everyone loves. And the beauty of my garden will get many people into a good mood.” answered the old man.
The words of the gardener warm me with (please). He looked after the flowers (make) others enjoy the warm sunshine in spring. He can't see the beautiful flowers he planted, just like Beethoven, who can't hear his wonderful music .
The old man is alone but not lonely. All of his flowers are his friends and neighbors. They (grow) in his heart. I believe that he can hear the voice of them.

Almost everyone has dropped some food on the floor and still wanted to eat it. If someone saw you drop it, he or she might have shouted, “5-second rule!” This so–called rule says food is OK to eat if you pick it up in five seconds or less. But is that true?
Professor Anthony Hilton from Ashton University, UK, tested the rule with his students. They found that food dropped for five seconds is less likely to contain bacteria(细菌) than if it sits there for longer.
For the study, Hilton and his students tested a lot of foods—bread, pasta, cookies and candy—to see how much bacteria they had when they made contact with the floor. They allowed the food to lie on the different types of flooring—carpet(地毯), laminate (复合地板) and tile(瓷砖) — for three seconds to 30 seconds.
Not surprisingly, the longer the food was on the floor, the more bacteria it had. And the type of floor where the dropped food landed had an effect. Bacteria are least likely to transfer(转移) from carpet, while they are most likely to transfer laminate or tiled surface after more than five seconds.
The study also found that the wetter the food, the more likely it was to pick up bacteria. Although most people are happy to follow the 5-second rule, eating food dropped on the floor still carries an infection(感染) risk. “It very much depends on which bacteria are on the floor at the time.” Hilton told Forbes.

(4)According to the test, we learn the following EXCEPT ________.
A.the dropped food had more bacteria if it sat on the floor for longer.
B.the dropped food on the carpet had the least bacteria.
C.bacteria was impossible to transfer from laminate or tiled surfaces.
D.the wetter food was likely to pick up bacteria.

One day a man found a cocoon(蚕) of a butterfly in the forest. He sat there for several hours and watched the butterfly. Suddenly, a small opening appeared and the butterfly made its great effort(努力) to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no further.(那个蛹好象忘记了它该怎样做, 也好象停止了挣扎).
So the man decided to help the butterfly. He cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon so that the butterfly would come out easily. But to his surprise, the butterfly got a heavy body and very small wings when it came out of the cocoon.
The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that the body would grow smaller at any moment and the wings would become larger and be able to fly. But neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling(爬) around with a heavy body and small wings. It was never able to fly.
The man was in his kindness, but he didn't understand the nature rules. Before the butterfly came out of the cocoon, fluid(液体) from its body must be forced into its wings, and then would be ready for flying. It must have a hard struggle(拼搏) to get through the small opening to get its freedom from the cocoon.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If God allowed us to go through our life without any difficulties, it would make us fail. We would not be as strong as we could have been, we could never fly.

D.stop the butterfly growing bigger
(3)What do you think of the man?
A.Patient but cruel

A.Struggles are sometimes necessary in our life.
B.Nothing is difficult if we put our heart into it.
C.Every good deed will come back with good result.
