thoughts are the seeds.The harvest can either be flowers or weeds,”WilliamWordsworth 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 dont.Before you start to work in your garden,its necessary to have a vision for it.Thinking of what youwant to grow in your garden and how to lay it out is agood first step in making your vision a fruitful reality.In life,you should consider what you want to create andwhat 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 isnt suitable for growth.This is why gardeners take the time andenergy to upgrade the soil before planting.So,creating the right soil is important to the realization of your goalsand dreams.Fortunately,there are countless ways to make your personal bedrock better.Getting an education isone of the most effective ways,which can help you enrich your lifes soil.You dont 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 needto plant tomato seeds.Its a very clear act that produces anexpected result.Each of us has the power to decide which“life seeds”to plant.For example,if you plant ill seeds,its likely that youll experience pain in return.Contrarily,if you plant seeds of kindness and understanding,yourlife will bloom with happiness and love.A gardeners trulyarduouswork begins after the seeds are in the ground because a garden requires a lot of careand attention.Regular watering and weeding are required for a healthy garden.So,to ensure your dreams takeroot,you should be devoted,aware,and present.After countless hours and energy spent,the crops have grownwell and are finally ready to be harvested.8.What is important before gardeners break ground in their gardens?A.Receiving some training in planting.B.Drawing up a good

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.11.What does the underlined word“arduous”in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A.BeneficialB.CreativeC.Boring.D.ToughDWhat do you think of 80s pop music?Do the names George Michael,Madonna and Michael Jackson soundfamiliar?Well,these are just some of the names that were well-known in the music scene of the 80s and early 90s.The 80s pop musicscene was an important step to the popularity(普及)of present-day music.A new wave in themusic scene was introduced,which made such music styles as punk rock,rap music and the MTV popular.Although it was an end to the old 60s and 70s styles,it was also the beginning of something big.The popularity ofmusic videos meant that artists now replaced their guitar-based music with visual displays.A new wave of artistscame on the scene and the entire industry developed quickly.The most famous 80s pop music video is Michael Jacksons Thriller.Introduced in 1982,few people can forgetthe video not only because of its never-be-foreseen images,but also because of the popularity it received.Thinkof how 80s pop music changed the lives of people who grew up in the 80s.Ask a young man today to tell you thenames of the“New Kids on the Block”and he will start talking about the neighbor kids who just moved in.Theseare not the answers you might have heard in the 80s.Though todays young men do not recognize how cool 80spop music was,most people will always remember it for what it was and these are happy memories they willalways love.Some of the 80s pop music legends(传奇人物)include Madonna,U2,AeroSmith and of course the King ofPop Michael Jackson.Lets not forget Prince,Tina Turner,Phil Collins and Motowns Lionel Ritchie.Some of thesemusicians played music that has stood the test of time.Undoubtedly,the 80s
