My family moved into our home nine years ago and we called the area in front of our house "rock garden" as it was full of rocks.

Last summer, I found a tiny little p 【1】 in the yard but I didn't know its name. I knew I didn’t plant it. We decided to let it c 【2】 growing until we could find out what it was.

Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the mysterious plant, it s 【3】 to be a sunflower. I decided to treat it with care and remove the weeds(杂草) a 【4】 it. As I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds, I noticed something u 【5】 . The sunflower had not started where I saw the stalk（茎）began. It had b 【6】 under a big rock.

That's when I realize that i 【7】 a tiny little sunflower didn't let a big rock stand in its way of developing, we also have the ability of doing the same thing. We need to believe in o 【8】 knowing we have the abilities in a 【9】 our aims. Like the sunflower, it was sure of the success.

Stand tall like the sunflower and be proud of who and what you are and the e 【10】 will begin to support you. You will find a way to reach your goals.

Life in the 22nd century will be different from that in the 21st century, because many changes will take place.

The population is growing fast. There will be more and more people in the world and most of them will live longer than before. Computers will be much smaller and more useful, and there will be at least one in every home. And computer studies will be one of the most important subjects at school.

People will work fewer hours than they did in the 21st century, and they will have more free time for sports, watching TV and traveling. Traveling will be much easier. And more people will go to other countries for holidays.

There will be changes in our food, too. More land will be used for building new towns and houses. Then there will be less room for cows and sheep, so meat will be more expensive. Maybe no one will eat it every day, instead they eat more vegetables and fruit. In this way people will be healthier.

Work in the future will be different, too. Robots will do dangerous and hard work. Because of this, many people will not have enough work to do. This will be a problem.
