The Garden of Eden is said to be a beautiful place which gives joy. Where could it be found? The Garden of Eden is the place where God is supposed to have created a garden for Adam, the first man. Some people hold it to have been situated in the Mesopotamian region between the River Tigris and Euphrates. The Tree of Knowledge grew in this garden and it was there that man fell from grace in God’s eyes because he ate fruit from this tree, urged by Eve, the first woman.As they did what they were told not to do, it is said, God devised three punishments. The man was to farm the earth, which was cursed; the woman was to experience painful childbirth; and the snake who urged the woman to persuade the man to eat the fruit was from that day on to be hated by mankind. Adam had to be driven out of the Garden of Eden because the Tree of Life also grew there and this would have given him eternal(永恒的) life.

提示：
Garden building is considered an important part of Chinese culture. Some people say that if you have never walked through a Chinese garden, you cannot say that you have really visited China.
Traditional Chinese gardens are located in North China in such places as Beihai Park, the Summer Palace, the Forbidden City. In larger imperial gardens, the main buildings are connected by an imaginary（虚构的） line in the middle of the garden on the north-south axis(轴). Other features of imperial gardens are colored-paintings, man-made hills and lakes.
Most private gardens are found in the south, especially in cities south of the Yangtze River. Private gardens were mostly built at one side or at the back of the houses. Around the beautiful scene are small open areas with beautiful shaped-doors through which visitors can enjoy the sights. They are open on all sides and are often near the water so that the whole scene can be enjoyed. Suzhou, known as the home of gardens, displays the most and the best Chinese traditional private gardens. Different parts of it are examples of the garden style of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.[
The landscape（自然风景） garden contains a number of pleasant natural scenes and some fairy tales. The ancient Chinese used to call the garden landscape “Jing” , which means “scene” in English. Good examples include the ten West Lake Scenes in Hangzhou, the twenty-four slim West Lake in Yangzhou and the eight Daming Lake Scenes in Jinan.
