• 1．Spring is just around the corner，but if you are tired of sunflowers，tulips （郁金香） and other standard gardens，why not head to one of these mysterious and wonderful botanical gardens？
  Butchart Gardens，British Columbia，Canada
     One of the rarest flowers you'll find at Butchart Gardens is the Meconopsis，otherwise known as the Tibetan blue poppy.The most impressive flowers can be found in the borders，where you'll find over one million bedding plants.And although the gardens are famous for their perennials （多年生植物），300，000 spring-flowering plants are grown every year，and over 900 varieties of plants are grown for the summer gardens alone.
     Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden，Cape Town，South Africa
     Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden is one of a handful of botanic gardens to grow only native plants.Some of the most popular varieties include the king protea，which produces enormous flowers between autumn and summer，and the rare silver tree，a silky-leaved plant，which experts believe could become extinct in the next 50 years.
     Denver Botanic Gardens，Colorado，US
     Once native to South Africa，these oddly-named flowers are famously drought-hardy，making them perfect for this part of North America.This garden is one of the few to focus on draught-tolerant plants from Colorado and the grasslands of Africa，Mongolia and Argentjye.aia.In fact，Colorado is home to nine species of endangered plant，and several can be found here.
     Arctic-Alpine Botanic Garden，Tromso，Norway
     Visit the world's northernmost botanical garden and you'll find a breathtaking collection of plants from the world's polar and mountainous regions including，in the Himalaya section，the rare giant Tibetan blue poppy，with its huge flowers and metre-high stem.You'll also see the Wilander buttercup，which can only be found in the quite terrible areas of Svalbard's unforgiving icy islands.

• 2．I am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval，he learns to love himself and will be successful in his own way.
     Several weeks ago，I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair.I kept asking him to sit down，telling him that he would concentrate better.He sat but seconds later，as if he didn't even notice he was doing it，he got up again.I was getting angry，but then it hit me：I started noticing his answers-were much quicker and right when he stood up.Could he concentrate better while standing up？
     This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe.I grew up to believe that a quiet child was more likely to succeed.This child would have.jye.ai ability to study hard，get good grades and become someone important in life.Kids that were active and loud would only be losers.
     Now people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA，and all they can do is loving and accepting them.As parents，throughout their growing years and beyond that，we need to guide them and help them find their way.
     I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate.Clearly，he is concentrating，just in his own way and not mine.We need to accept our kids，and their ways of doing things.There is nothing sweeter than seeing our children being themselves.It makes us happy and that's just the way I want my kids to live a happy life.

• 3．Richard is a very a successful businessman.It is common for him to work hard with a non-stop.He wasn't aware that he might wear himself out or die an early death until he overslept one morning，which was a sort of alarm.And then what happened？He had a week's leave during which time he read novels，listened to music and walked with his wife on a beach，which has enabled Richard to return to work again.
     In our modern life，we have lost the rhythm between action and rest.Amazingly，within this world there is a universal but silly saying："I am so busy."
     We say this to one another as if our tireless efforts，were a talent by nature and an ability to successfully deal with stress.The busier we are，the more important we seem to ourselves and，we imagine，to others.To be unavailable to our friends and family，and to be unable to find time to relax - this has become the model of a successful life.
     Because we do not rest，we lose our way.We miss the guide telling us where to go，the food providing us with strength，the quiet giving us wisdom.
     How have we allowed this to happen？I believe it is this：we have forgotten the Sabbath，the day of the week - for followers of some religions - for rest and praying.It is a day when we are not supposed to work，a time when we devote ourselves to enjoying and celebrating what is beautiful.It is a good time to bless our children and loved ones，give thanks，share meals，walk and sleep.It is a time for us to take a rest，to put our work aside，trusting that there are larger forces at work taking care of the world.
     Rest is a spiritual and biological need；however，in our strong ambition to be successful and care for our many responsibilities，we may feel terribly guilty when we take time to rest.The Sabbath gives us permission to stop work.In fact，"Remember the Sabbath" is more than simply permission to.jye.ai；it is a rule to obey and a principle to follow.
  
  （1）What's the function of the paragraph 1？

  
  A．To tell us that Richard lives a healthy life
  B．To give us a brief introduction of Richard
  C．To bring up the topic of the passage.
  D．To tell Richard is a successful businessman.
  （2）The "alarm" in the first paragraph refers to "

  ".
  A．a(chǎn) signal of stress
  B．a(chǎn) warning of danger
  C．a(chǎn) sign of age
  D．a(chǎn) spread of disease
  （3）According to the passage during the Sabbath，what we should do except

  .
  A．Enjoying delicious meal.
  B．Taking a good break.
  C．Praying for our family.
  D．Only working for two hours.
  （4）What is the main idea of this passage？

  
  A．We should balance work with rest.
  B．The Sabbath gives us permission to rest.
  C．It is silly for anyone to say "I am busy".
  D．We should be available to our family and friends.
