When I was a
boy
，
we had several gardens
around our old
1
．
We grew
potatoes in the
largest
garden
．
I can
2
remember those potato
planting days
．
The whole
family helped
．
After my dad
had tilled the soil(
犁地
)
，
my
mum
，
brothers and I went to
work
．
It was my
3
to drop the
little
seed
potatoes(
留种的土豆
)in rows
4
my
mum dropped some
fertilizer(
肥料
)beside
them
．
My
brothers
then covered them all with
5
．
After that
，
I
would watch over at the garden for months when I
played outside
．
I wanted to
know
6
was going on
under the ground
．
When the
harvest time came
，
I was
7
at
the large
size of the
potatoes
．
Then my parents
turned them into baked
potatoes
，
mashed potatoes and
fried
potatoes
．
8
would keep the
entire(
全体
)family well fed
throughout the whole year
．
I also think about
9
other seeds I
have planted in life
，
in the
hearts and minds of others
．
Every day we step out into the garden
of this world
．
Every day we
plant seeds that can grow into

I hope

goodness

peace and
compassion in the life of
everyone you
meet

【阅读理解】
A
Mike was always happy and always had
something interesting to
say
．
If someone asked him
how he was
doing
，
he would reply
< br>，
“
Couldn
’
t be better!
”
He was
really a carefree young man and
never
felt tired
．
Mike
used
to
say
．
“
Each
morning
I
wake
up
and
say
to
myself
，
‘
Mike
，
you
have
two
choices(
选择
)today
．
< br>You can choose to be happy or you can choose to be upset
．
’
I
choose to be
happy
．
Each time
something happens
，
I am
always ready to learn a good lesson I choose to
learn
from
life
．
”
I
tried
to
understand
what
he
said
．
Indeed
life
is
all
about
choices
．
Every
situation
is
a
choice
．
The bottom
line is
：
You
’
re living your life and you make it either happy or sad
．
Several years later I had a car
accident and my legs were seriously
injured
．
When I was lying
on the ground
，
I
remembered that I had two
choices
：
I could choose to
live or choose to die
．
I
chose to live
．
People like to
say,
“
Choose the one you love
and love the one you
choose
．
”
Why not
choose
the one we love and live
happily?

As a
student
，
I was most afraid to
answer questions in
class
，
and I found that the
students
around were just like
me
．
At the beginning of each
class
，
when the teacher asked
a question
，
I
always lowered my head because I was
afraid that the teacher saw
me
．
One
day
．
in a foreign language
class
，
Mr Black gave us a
lesson
．
He wanted us to be
active in
class
．
So he asked
us some questions
，
but no one
answered
．
“
Let me
tell you a story
first
，
”
he
said
．
“
When
I
came
to
the
United
States
to
study
，
the
university
often
invited(
邀请
)famous
people to make
speeches
．
Before the
beginning of every speech
，
I
found an interesting
thing
．
The
students around me always took a
cardboard folded(
折叠的
) in
half
，
wrote their names in bold
with the most eye-catching
colour
，
and then placed the
cardboard on the seat
．
So
when the speaker
needed the answers
from the students
，
he could
see and call a listener
’
s
name directly
．
I
couldn
’
t understand
that
．
My classmate told me
the speakers were all top
people
，
who
meant
chances(
机会
)
．
When your answer was to his surprise
，
it meant he might
give you more
chances
．
In
fact
，
I really saw a few
students get great chances because of
that
．
”
After listening to the
story
，
I understood that the
chance would not find you
itself
．
You must
show yourself all the time so that you
could find a chance
