A man had a garden． He planted a rose and watered it c（1） ． Before the rose blossomed （盛开），he noticed many thorns （刺） around the bud （花蕾） and he thought，"H（2） can any beautiful flower come from a plant with so many sharp thorns？" Because of this i（3） ， he lost interest in this kind of plant， then he gave up watering the rose． And just b（4） it was ready to blossom， it died．
Good qualities are just like roses． There is a rose in e（5） spirit． The good qualities planted in us at birth， grow among the thorns﹣our weaknesses．Many of us look at o（6） and we only see our weaknesses．We lose heart，thinking that n（7） good can possibly come from us．We give up watering the roses in us， and slowly they die． We never realize the g（8） of being able to find out our good qualities．

In the （1） （south） part of China，eating qingtuan at the beginning of spring is a kind of tradition.Chinese people （2） （start） to eat it more than 2，000 years ago.It is made of sticky rice（糯米）and red bean paste（红豆沙），and is famous for its softness，freshness and sweetness.

I am a plastic bottle． A week ago， I was on a supermarket shelf， I had a（1） （正常的） the same as all my brothers and sisters﹣ other bottles full of water．I felt really happy．
Then a tall woman picked me up and put me in her （2） （篮子）! The woman took me home and put me in the fridge．It was cold，but I soon made friends with the cans and bottles in it．However，only a few hours later，she took me out of the fridge and （3） （喝） the water inside me． Then she threw me into a dustbin（垃圾箱）． I have never felt so empty and alone in my life．
Early the next morning，a man took me out of the dustbin．He threw me and the other rubbish into the back of a truck．There were so many horrible smells．Then I was pushed （4） （一起） with the rest of the rubbish．Soon I was completely flat（平的）．I cannot （5） （相信） how thin I became．

Sometimes we fall in love with something at once and sometimes it takes long．The same is true with poems．If we're lucky（1）e ， we open a book and find a poem that attracts us at once．But usually we need to spend a little（2）t or make a little effort to truly understand a poem， Today I′d like to talk about reading poems in ways that make the experience better．
Reading a poem repeatedly will deepen your understanding of it．Sometimes a poem that seems（3）b on first reading becomes interesting with more reading．A poem that feels meaningless becomes deeper and more meaningful．
And sometimes you′re just not in the right mood the first time you read a poem， but（4）l it touches your heart．
Keep a（5）d at hand when you are reading poems． Poets like to use unusual words．Instead of skipping over（跳过） these words or trying to（6）g their meanings， look them up．
Read aloud and listen to the poem．Reading aloud will make the poem′s thythm clear．Besides，a poet′s reading is very helpful（7）b we can understand the poem's meanings from where the poet places emphasis（强调） or pauses（停顿）．
After you finish reading a poem， take a few moments to consider（8）w it is saying．Sometimes its meanings are better understood（9）t repeated reading．Other times they need our careful and deep thought on a poem．
It is（10）h to say whether there's a right or wrong way to read poems， but reading practices will enrich your experience， increase your enjoyment， and deepen your understanding of any poem．
