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．
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．
Someone may not see the rose in himself，so we need to help him d（9） the rose．With love， we can accept a person into our life，even though we know his true weaknesses．At the same time，we should e（10） him to face his weaknesses bravely and correct them． Then he will blossom many times．
May 21， 2020 marks the first International Tea Day （ITD）．It （1） （name） by the UN on Nov 21，2019． ITD is more than about （2） （celebrate） the delicious drink． It also（3） （try） to improve the working conditions of tea farmers and workers． It makes the public know the （4） （important） of tea all over the world．
Tea is the world's second （5） （popular） drink （after water）． Drinking tea can bring many （6） （health） benefits（益处）．Now tea is loved by millions from China to England，from India to Afghanistan﹣each culture with its own tradition．
Tea was discovered in 2727 BC in China．When the ruler Shen Nong （7） （boil） water over an open fire， some （8） （leaf） from a tea plant fell into the water．Shen Nong then fell in love with the drink that followed， and that is how tea became a common drink in Chinese culture．Drinking tea is a centuries﹣old tradition in the UK． There's tea for breakfast， tea during break time， tea when visiting a（9） （friend） house， tea to wake up， tea （10） （relax）…you get the idea．For Indians， tea is also a huge part of daily life．
Help yourself to some tea when you are free． Maybe， you will fall in love with it， too．
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.
People living in the Yangtze River Delta（长江三角洲）usually put qingtuan on the tombs（墓）of their dead family members to cherish the past memory.Making qingtuan is also a chance for family members to get together at home.It（3） （real） takes time and effort to make the snack.
