I have a neighbor we call “Happy”. I have never seen her angry at anything and never heard her say a harsh (苛刻) word to anyone or about anyone.
Happy and her husband Ben, 70, have a huge garden. They spent many happy hours together working on it. Most of the neighbors watched interestingly as Ben doubled the size of their garden. As the cost of food climbed faster than Ben’s beans, we all wished we also had such a large garden. As the rest of us spent our dollars at the market, Happy could be seen picking beans in her back yard.
Last month, Happy and Ben invited most of the neighborhood over for an “all-day food fest”. We were told to bring gloves and arrive very early in the morning. We didn’t know what was about to take place.
By 9:00 am, there were nine of us in the garden picking tomatoes, beans, okra, and squash. By 10:00 am, there was lots of laughter. We shared a lot of stories. By five o’clock, everyone was a little drunk from the wine and beer. After dinner, we played games. As we were leaving, Happy and Ben handed each of us a shopping bag filled with the bounty（收成）of the day, already packaged and frozen. What a delightful gift!
Well, the point wasn’t so much about the food. The true gift was a day of friends enjoying one another’s company. None of it would have happened if it had been for Happy and Ben’s garden. Now they have a blog about gardening in case we decided to plant a garden. And I am so proud of my tomato plants!According to paragraph 2, people wish they also had a garden so that_______.

| B．they could grow vegetables and sell at the market |
| C．they could invite their neighbors and hold parties in it |
| D．they could spend happy times together with their family in it |

| A．To ask them to attend a birthday party. |
| B．To help them get to know each other. |
| C．To let them enjoy what they grew in the garden. |
| D．To ask them to share some interesting stories. |

| A．It was too long. |
| B．It was wonderful. |
| C．It was not as good as he thought. |
| D．It was too terrible. |
The summer vacation is a time to enjoy a change from the school year．It's a good chance to work on different activities that you don't have much time to do during the rest of the year．
We asked about 2，000 people what they would do during the summer vacation．Most of the survey ﹣ takersagreed that the summer vacation was a break from homework and they could relax．
Alexis said，"At school，I'm really tired，so during the summer vacation I can read books and do many ou tdoor activities．"
Amy is in high school．After school，she sometimes works in a café．She told us，"It's a chance to relax after a hard school year﹣sleep more，and see my friends more．"
We also asked them if they would be too busy or kind of bored．About half（52%）of the survey﹣takers said they would be busy during the summer vacation but still have time to relax．And thatis exactly how it should be．
But not everyone said their summer vacation would be the right balance（平衡）between being busy and relaxing．Many thought that they would be too bored．
How bored or busy people feel during the summer vacation depends on how old they are．Survey﹣takers in their early teens were likely（可能的）to be bored．Among them，40% said they would be bored and only 10% thought they would be too busy．

Peng began the speech with a story of her father．Her father grew up in a very small village in China．In those days，not many villagers could read，so her father opened a night school to teach them．With his help，many people learned to write their names and read newspapers for the first time．And many women were able to teach their children how to read．Peng's father's love for education influenced her deeply．She was lucky enough to have a good education．Later，she followed in her father's footsteps and became a professor of music．

What should you eat if you don't like carrots？Don't worry．Other fruits and vegetables have vitamin A，too．The secret is in their color．Most orange or red fruits store some beta﹣carotene，or vitamin A．Sweet potatoes，red peppers，mangoes（芒果） are a few that have the same orange secret．Can you think of any more？
