My name is Mary White. I have five children, so our house is always noisy. Luckily, I love gardening and my garden helps me relax.
For a long time, I guarded the garden of peace and quiet. When the children followed me into the garden, I would expect them to be out of sight(视野). And I would hand out tasks.
“ Here: you water the tomatoes, you dig the hole, and...” Soon they would be tired, and they would leave me to myself.
But during a recent spring, while I was working in the garden, my 13-year-old son, Josiah noticed me. He picked up a tool and began helping. Working as a team, we finished the job soon. I appreciated Josiah and kissed him, realizing that I’d enjoyed working with him.
One day, when I was picking the peas（豌豆）and having a taste alone, Abby saw me and ran over. I put several peas into her mouth. She just loved how tasty they were.
“ Mum , I want the others to try them too.”
Suddenly, I realised I had been wrong for long. I’d tried to keep the happiness of gardening to myself, and here was a child who couldn’t wait to share with others.“ Sure, dear, let’s pick some. We’ ll make a wonderful meal.”
From then on, I enjoyed all of the garden’s beauties with the children. We brought the vegetables back home, preparing and cooking together, because we knew that everything was better when shared.

Go, commonly known in China as weiqi, is a board game for two players. To win, one player must use black or white playing pieces, named stones, to surround（包围） more areas.
The game was invented in China more than 2,500 years ago. It’s one of the four Chinese traditional fine arts, along with playing guqin, writing and painting, so it owns a wide fan base in China. Now it is also popular in other parts of the world.
In Germany, the Berlin Go Association（协会）has worked together with the China Cultural Center to host The China Cup, which sees about 50 to 100 players each year. As the cooperation（合作）between China and Germany deepens, many Go training courses are offered, and sometimes professional players from China are invited to give talks to German Go lovers.
Andreas Urban, the chairman（主席）of Berlin Go Association, discovered a book on Go accidentally. “I tried to understand the rules, but I couldn’t,” said Urban. Schreiber, the vice chairman, was introduced to the game 16 years ago by a classmate. “The first time I played Go, I even couldn’t understand the rules,” he said. But both of them found the game more and more interesting after practice. “I advise children to learn Go. They can learn that there is always someone stronger and it’s OK to lose. They can also learn how to improve from their mistakes and say tomorrow will be better than today,” said Schreiber.
What does Paragraph One mainly tel us
A. The basic rules of playing Go.
B. The materials from which Go is made.
C. The useful skills of playing Go.
D. The number of players a Go team has.

Space suits don’t just make astronauts look cool. Without these _16_ suits, astronauts wouldn’t be able to leave their spaceship. That is to say, they wouldn’t be able to _17_ on the Moon or work outside the International Space Station.
Space is a _18_ place for human beings. Firstly, there is no air to breathe. Secondly, space also has high levels of radiation(辐射), energy that can pass through our bodies and make us _19_ . Thirdly, some parts of space are really cold _20_ other parts are very hot. So astronauts could die in just a few seconds if they _21_ outside their spaceship without their suit. With a space suit, though, astronauts can move around in space for several hours.
Space suits keep astronauts _22_ sealed(密封) inside. A backpack sends O2 in to let astronauts breathe normally. At the same time, the CO2 _23_ astronauts breathe out is sucked away. The suit also protects them from harmful radiation and fast-moving space dust. _24_ the space suit is another suit that looks like a pair of tight pajamas(睡衣) with little pipes running through them. Water runs through these pipes to _25_ astronauts because wearing a space suit can make astronauts very hot.
