       One day Frank was walking with his mother when they came to a pretty garden.

Frank looked in, and saw that it had clean gravel(碎石)walks and beautiful flowers.

He called to his mother and said, Mum, come and look at this pretty garden.1 wish I might open the gate, and walk in.”

The gardener(园丁)heard what Frank said, and kindly invited him and his mother to come into the garden.

Frank’s mother thanked the man. Then she said to her son, “Frank, if I take you to walk in this garden, you must take care not to meddle(乱动)with anything in it.”

Frank walked along the tidy gravel walks, and looked at everything, but touched nothing that he saw.

He did not step on any of the borders(草坪边的狭长花坛), and was careful that his clothes should not brush the tops of the flowers so that he might not break them.

The gardener was much pleased(满意的)with Frank, because he was so careful to behave well. He showed him the seeds, and told him the name of many of the flowers and plants.

While Frank was admiring the beauty of a flower, a little boy came to the gate, and finding it locked, he shook it hard. But it would not open. Then he said, “Let me in. Let me in. Will you not let me in this garden?”

“No,” said the gardener, “I will not let you in, Tom. When I let you in yesterday, you meddled with my flowers, and pulled some of my fruit. I do not choose to let a boy into my garden who meddles with the plants.”

Tom looked ashamed, and when he found that the gardener would not let him in, he went slowly away.

Frank saw and felt how much happier a boy may be by not meddling with what does not belong to him.

He and his mother then continued their walk in the garden, and enjoyed the day very much. Before they left, the gardener gave each of them some pretty flowers.

（2016江苏盐城）All living things need energy to live and grow. This energy comes first from the sun. Plants use water and sunlight to make their own food. Animals can not make their own food, and they eat plants. Other animals then eat the plant eaters.
A food chain shows what eats what. It might show that zebras eat grass and then lions eat zebras.
Lions also eat other animals. Zebras eat other kinds of plants. So it takes more than one food chain to show how lions and zebras get their energy.

A food web shows how food chains work together. From it we can see how energy moves from plants to animals.
Plants and animals that live in hot, dry deserts depend on water as well as food. Creosote bushes have small leaves that hold water. Their seeds provide food and water for kangaroo rats. Kangaroo rats don’t need to drink water. They get all the water they need from the plants they eat. Kangaroo rats keep cool by coming out only at night to look for food. Ringtail cats also come out only at night. Ringtail cats hunt and eat kangaroo rats. Coyotes eat both the kangaroo rats and the ringtail cats.
Nothing is wasted in a food wed. Vultures eat dead animals. Vultures are scavengers. Scavengers do not hunt and kill other animals to get food. They eat animals that are already dead. When a ringtail cat or a coyote dies, it makes a meal for the vultures. Scavengers do an important job in keeping the environment clean.
36. Where does the energy that living things need first come from?

A．Animals.

B．Plants.

C．The sun.

D．Plant eaters.

37. Why do ringtail cats come out only at night?

A．Because they are afraid of coyotes.	B．Because they are shy animals.
C．Because it is very hot in the daytime.	D．Because they can eat kangaroo rats.

38. What kind of animal can be placed in the empty box of the picture?

A．Kangaroo.

B．Vulture.

C．Cat.

D．Zebra.

39. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

A．Lions eat different kinds of animals.	B．Plants are on the top of the food chain.
C．Scavengers can keep the environment clean.	D．Some animals get water from the plants they eat.

40. What’s the best title of the passage?

A．Web of life	B．Things that we eat
C．Food in the desert	D．The place where food is from

Making friends is a skill. Like most skills, you can improve it     51    you are patient. If you want to meet people and make friends, you must be     52    (will) to take action. You must first go where there are people. You won't make friends staying home alone.

Joining a club or a group, talking to those who like the same things as you do is much    53    (easy). Or join someone in some activities.

Many people are    54    when talking to new people. After all, meeting strangers means seeing the unknown. And it's human nature to feel a bit    55    (pleasant) about the unknown. Most of fears about     56    (deal) with new people come from doubts (怀疑) about ourselves. We imagine other people are judging us—finding us too tall or too short, too this or too that. But don't forget that they must be feeling the s    57    way. Try to accept yourself as you are, and try to make others feel at home. You'll all feel     58    (comfortable).

If you see someone you'd like to speak to, say something. Don't wait for the other person to start a talk.

Just meeting someone new    59    (do) mean that you'll make friends with that person. Friendship is based on mutual (相互的) likings and "give and take".    60     takes time and effort (精力)for us to develop friendship. And there are things that stop a new friendship from growing.

Our life is like a long journey which is not all roses. (3)It sometimes has wind and rain. We believe rainbows will appear after storms.
