“Your mind is a garden; your thoughts are the seeds. The harvest can either be flowers or weeds,” William Wordsworth wrote. In the above quote, William suggests that the process of gardening mirrors human life. Depending on what we “plant” in our lives, we bloom (生长茂盛) or don’t. Before you start to work in your garden, it’s necessary to have a vision for it. Thinking of what youwant to grow in your garden and how to lay it out is a good first step in making your vision a fruitful reality. In life, you should consider what you want to create and what you want to achieve, because your mind-garden is like the white paper and the possibilities are endless. Regardless of what you choose to plant, poor soil isn’t suitable for growth. This is why gardeners take the time and energy to upgrade the soil before planting. So, creating the right soil is important to the realization of your goals and dreams. Fortunately, there are countless ways to make your personal bedrock better. Getting an education is one of the most effective ways, which can help you enrich your life’s soil.
You don’t have to be an enthusiastic gardener to understand the meaning of “You reap(收获) what you sow.” When a gardener wants tomatoes, they just need to plant tomato seeds. It’s a very clear act that produces an expected result. Each of us has the power to decide which “life seeds” to plant. For example, if you plant ill seeds, it's likely that you’ll experience pain in return. Contrarily, if you plant seeds of kindness and understanding, your life will bloom with happiness and love.
A gardener’s trulyarduouswork begins after the seeds are in the ground because a garden requires a lot of care and attention. Regular watering and weeding are required for a healthy garden. So, to ensure your dreams take root, you should be devoted, aware, and present. After countless hours and energy spent, the crops have grown well and are finally ready to be harvested.
4. What is important before gardeners break ground in their gardens?
A. Receiving some training in planting.
B. Drawing up a good plan for their gardens.
C. Having the courage to accept the worst outcome.
D. Doing research on the common local garden plants.

A. Improving the condition of the soil.
B. Growing your most favorable plants.
C. Taking care of the plants in your garden.
D. Selecting proper goals in gardening work.
6. What does the author want to express in Paragraph 3?
A. Your quality of life depends on your positive action.
B. Your experience can help you understand plants better.
C. Your choice of soil is an important part in your gardening.
D. Your knowledge of planting will make you a successful gardener.
7. What does the underlined word “arduous” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

There are 8.8 million blind people in India. In fact, there are 36 million blind people worldwide and a quarter of them are in India; however, many cases of blindness in India are curable. The poor in India have limited access to primary eye healthcare and often do not eat foods rich in micronutrients, like vitamins and minerals, which play an important role in maintaining good eye health.
Many people worldwide are not even aware that they may have a vision (视力) problem simply because they do not get their eyes tested every year with a doctor, who tests for the functioning of the eye muscles (肌肉), as well as common diseases like night blindness. This exam is strongly recommended by experts because some changes in vision, which the patient may take longer to notice, can be found easily in this way.
Certain simple changes in diet and lifestyle can ensure better eye health for you. These include drinking plenty-of water, not smoking, and eating brightly color1 ed and leafy fruit and vegetables. Wearing sunglasses protects your eyes from the sun, which damages otherwise healthy eyes. Learn about your family's eye disease history, and be on the lookout for any problem about your vision. Make sure that you see a doctor immediately for early intervention(干预) if you see any of these signs of worsening eye health.
If you or a loved one needs to cure blindness or other eye diseases, turn to a crowdfunding (众筹) platform. A group of eye health caregivers have fundraised with crowdfunding platform ImpactGuru to raise money to perform operations on the eyes of blind women in south Asia. Running an online fundraiser enables both doctors
and patients to find a way out of the dark. If you want eye care to develop, start a fundraiser today.
8. Why are there so many blind people in India?
A. There is a lack of eye hospitals in India.
B. People pay no attention to their eyes at all.
C. Poor Indians lack food good for eye health.
D. The environment damages their eyes.
9. What does the author suggest in Paragraph 2?
A. Examining your eyes annually.
B. Strengthening muscles every day.
C. Raising the awareness of physical health.
D. Attaching importance to self-examination.
10. Which of the following may do harm to your eyes?
A. Smoking a lot.
B. Wearing sunglasses.
C. Drinking much water.
D. Watching brightly-color1 ed pictures.
11. What does the author want to show in the last paragraph?
A. How to start a fundraiser online.
B. The importance of raising money.
C. The role of crowdfunding in eye care.
D. What should bedone to raise money.
D
In a recent survey of 2000 Americans, housecleaning was shown to have some mood-boosting effects — but that doesn't mean everybody is willing to do it.
The majority of respondents (受访者) said cleaning gave them a sense of accomplishment (65%) and helped them clear their mind (63%). Half of these adults said they are most often motivated to clean when they're happy. In fact, 63% of those surveyed find the experience of cleaning to be relaxing - even more so than getting fresh air (61%).
But that's not the only reason people clean. A big 70% admitted that tidying their home was a way of putting off having to do other things, with the average procrastinator (拖延者) using that trick four times a week. The survey showed that 86% of respondents do feel on top of their housework, but the last deep clean of their kitchen happened over a week and a half ago. That's no surprise because the kitchen is most terrible of all.
Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of DishFish, the survey investigated people's attitudes toward dirty dishes and how they get through tricky task. More than two-thirds of people (69%) let their dishes pile up between washings with 20% saying “always” letting them be placed in the sink, which left them feeling stressed. More than any other room, the kitchen was rated as “very difficult” to cope with. And most people enjoy cleaning their toilet or taking out the garbage more than washing dishes by hand.
How do they get through it? 66% listen to music while they clean. 72% have a best-loved song that they sounded while tidying up their home, with “Uptown Funk,”“Read All About It” and “Work” being the three favorite tunes on America's cleaning playlist.
12. What is the result of the survey?
A. Housecleaning may contribute to a good mood to some extent.
B. Housecleaning may strengthen people's willingness to volunteer.
C. Housecleaning may cause anxiety and concern for some people.
D. Housecleaning may improve people's motivation to other housework.
13. What is the top reason why people undertake housecleaning?
A. They can entertain themselves.
B. They can take in fresh air.
C. They get a sense of achievement.
D. They can delay other things.
14. What are respondents' attitudes to dirty dishes?
A. Many would rather wash dishes than throw out the rubbish.
B. Half are under pressure with dirty dishes lying in the sink.
C. A quarter will let dirty dishes pile up after their meals.
