I live in a small but lovely neighborhood. Our house is neither large nor luxurious, but it has a fairly big garden. My father loves his garden. He planted some seeds in it and took good care of the plants, watering them, applying fertilizer, weeding and getting rid of bugs. He was never tired of doing all that stuff. But at that time, I didn’t understand why working in the dirt excited him so much.
Unfortunately, in the summer vacation before senior high school, my father was seriously injured in an accident. He had to stay in bed for a while. My mother had several business trips, so she couldn’t take care of the garden. I didn’t want my father to worry. I said that I would take care of his garden until he recovered. I assumed that the little plants would continue to grow as long as they had water, and luckily it rained fairly often, so I didn’t think much about the garden.
One Saturday morning, my father said to me, “Christine, the vegetables should be about ready to be picked. Let’s have a salad today!” I went out to the garden and was upset to see that many of the lettuce (生菜) leaves and carrots had been half eaten by bugs. There were hundreds of bugs all over them!
I panicked for a moment but then I quietly went to the nearest supermarket to buy some vegetables. When I was making the salad, my mother came home and saw the bag from the supermarket in the kitchen. I was embarrassed and admitted, “Dad would like a salad, but the garden is a disaster. I don’t want to disappoint him, so I went to the store and bought some vegetables.” My mother smiled, saying, “Honey, you know what is the right thing to do.”
Paragraph 1My father seemed very pleased when I took the salad to him.

6 . You spend a lot of time at home, so your furniture and other home decoration play a big role in how you feel.
How the furniture in your room is laid out is one of the most important factors affecting your mood. When shopping for a new home, many people focus on picking out paint colors.
If you plan to entertain a lot of guests in your living room, you will want to plan for seating that encourages conversation. A line of chairs or couches against one wall won’t offer the chance for your guests to talk with each other.
When choosing furniture for your room, keep in mind the size of the room as well as the ceiling height.
A.They seldom consider a room’s layout. |
B.You should bring nature to your home. |
C.Furniture needs to fit the size of the room. |
D.A room’s layout of furniture can affect your mood. |
E.Decorate your room with special scenes for your children. |
F.Color and seating are important factors in home decoration. |
G.Instead, choosing a small group of chairs or a 1arge sofa will be better. |
One morning in the autumn when I was nine, Mom asked me to do some yard work with her. She had grown some potatoes in our yard that spring. It was time to harvest (收获). She wanted me to help her dig the potatoes. “Do I have to?” I said unhappily.
“Yes,you do,” Mom gave an answer. Then she added, “Change your attitude and it'll be easier.” “That's what you think,” I thought to myself. I sat on the sofa watch TV. Soon Mom wouldn't wait any longer and ordered me to follow her.
Worried that she'd be angry, I walked slowly out. I was unwillingly to move my feet—almost as though there were magnets (磁铁) fixed to them and the ground was metal. Or it felt like my socks were filled with wet sand. Or maybe my feet just stuck to the ground.
Following Mom's instructions, I picked up a shovel and started to work. I needed to be careful when digging up potatoes, otherwise I would damage them. The damaged potatoes would easily rot (腐烂). I pushed the shovel into the earth slowly and lifted the earth onto one side. When that was done, potatoes came out. Then I had to use my hands to free the potatoes from below. After that I placed them into a basket. It was really dirty and boring.

I was about to give up the work when Mom's words came to my mind.

Jack had waited all autumn, winter and spring for the opening day of the fishing season. Fishing was his favorite sport, and he was ready to go. His fishing pole stood by the door. He had tied a brand-new red-and-white lure (诱饵)to a three-pronged hook(三叉钩). He was going to catch the biggest fish ever in the small river by his house. However, Mom said he had housework to do.
“Jack, if you want to go fishing, you need to clean your room first," Mom said. Jack hung his head, rushed to his room, and threw himself onto his bed. Jack picked up two wrinkled (起皱的)shirts off the floor and threw them into his closet. Then he hurriedly pulled the bedspread (床罩) up over his pillow. Cleaning his bedroom didn't seem as important as not being late for the opening day of the fishing season.
Jack listened carefully to make sure where Mom was in the house. If she was in the kitchen,she might stop him to make sure he had done a good cleaning job. But if she was in the laundry room he could make a quick getaway. After several minutes, the washing machine bell finally made Mom go to the laundry room.
Jack rushed to the door, with his fishing pole on his shoulder. He paused for a moment to close the door as quietly as possible, and then ran across the field. He had escaped without being caught. Maybe Mom didn't even notice his room wasn't really clean. Taking a deep breath, Jack threw the tip of his pole back behind his shoulder and threw it forward, allowing the line to move off the wheel. He listened to the soft splash (溅泼声) of the lure as it entered the fresh, cold water in his favorite fishing hole. I was just as fun as he remembered. Soon he totally forgot his bedroom, Mom or anything else.
Paragraph 1:
Jack enjoyed watching his lure dance in the water.
