三、阅读理解（共4篇每题2分，共40分）
AA long time before I was born, my grandma and grandpa moved into the house on
Beechwood Avenue. They had a young family of four little girls. During
the time, work was hard to find, so grandpa did whatever jobs he could.
On weekend he and grandma dug a garden to grow some of their own
food.
The house on Beechwood Avenue had a big front yard with fruit trees, On one side of the yard,
grandma and grandpa planted some vegetables and fruits to feed their growing family, They planted
some flowers on the other side of the yard.
All summer long, the family ate food from the garden and enjoyed the beautiful flowers. The
food was good to eat through the long winter.
The family grew up, and before too many years had passed, the grandchildren came to visit.
Grandma and grandpa still planted their garden every spring. Everyone still enjoyed the good food
from the garden and always took some home.
Years later, it became harder for grandma and grandpa to keep up the garden. So they made it
a little smaller. There was still plenty to eat from the garden and lovely flowers to enjoy.
Then one summer slowly faded, and grandpa died before it was time to bring in the harvest.
It was a lonely winter for grandma. She wondered if she could plant the garden in the next spring. It
would be hard to care for it by herself. When the spring came, she planted only a little garden.
One sunny day in the early summer, grandma heard a noise in the front yard and looked out of
the window to see thousands of bees in the air, so many of them reached the tree-tops together! The
sound was tremendous. Grandma watched as the bees made their way into a hole up in the trees.
Before long, every one of those bees had disappeared into its new home. During the next few days,
the bees were busy making their own business.
That summer, grandma’s little garden grew well. The neighbours would stop to admire the
huge crop of vegetables and puzzle why their own garden weren’t doing well.
From that time on, grandma always believed that since grandpa couldn’t be there to help her
that summer, he had sent the bees to take his place and make grandma’s little garden grow and grow.

How many of us have reached into our drawer（抽屉）and pulled out socks that didn't match? Will you throw
them away like most girls or try to reuse them? The story of Carly and Charley may help you.
Carly and Charley are the girls who often lose their socks. At first，they just matched different colors or styles
like some other girls. But most of the time， these socks couldn't match their clothes. So they came up with an idea

solved. They still had missing socks until they realized that they could make a business out of it. So they set up
Single Sox: the girls sell socks in packs（包）of three so you can mix and match as you wish. Each pack is super
colorful and super inspiring（激励人心的）—Carly and Charley have written words on every sock to encourage
girls to celebrate their differences.
And they carry on the tradition of giving back—for every pair of socks sold，they give away a pair to those inneed. Nothing is a waste if you have a creative mind.

William Blake described the eyes as the “windows of the soul.” Our eyes are the windows through which we
see the world around us. Either way, there’s no question that we place great value on our eyes and our eyesight.
Surveys have shown that of the five senses, sight is the one that people fear losing the most.
Thinking about the important function of our eyes, we’d give them the best care possible, but sometimes we
get too busy or forget to do a few simple things that can keep our eyes healthy.
Protecting your eyes starts with the food on your plate. Remember when you were a kid and your mom told
you that carrots would improve your eyesight. Well, she might be right. Proper food will keep your eyes strong and
healthy.
Give up your daily habits that could seriously injure your eyes. Always wear sunglasses in a sunny day to
protect your eyes from ultraviolet ray（紫外线）. Rest your eyes every 20 minutes from the computer screen by
looking 20 feet away for 20 seconds. At least every 2 hours, get up and take a 15-minute break when working at a
computer.
Make sure your eyes do not get injured in the first place. You should try to prevent eye injuries whether you’re
playing sports or doing housework. You should also know when to wear safety glasses and what kinds will work
best for you.Last but not least, get your eyes examined regularly. Eye exams can help find some eye diseases. It’s important
to find these diseases early on, when they’re easier to treat.
