There was a young woman. She was quite proud of growing flowers in her yard. She had been raised by her grandmother, who had taught her to love and care for flowers. So her yard was the most beautiful one in her village.
One day, while looking through a flower, list that she often ordered from, a picture of a plant immediately caught her eyes. She had never seen a flower like it before, "I have to have it," she said to herself, and she ordered it right away.
When it arrived, she found a place to plant it. She planted it at the bottom of a stone wall at the back of the yard. It grew vigorously, with very beautiful green leaves all over it. Day after day, she continued to take good care of it, and she also looked forward to enjoying the flowers, but still there were not any.
One morning, as she stood looking at the plant, she felt sad,.”It grows well, but why don’t I see any flowers?” She wanted to know the reason why her plant had not flowered, but still there was no idea.
However, at this moment, her friendly neighbor invited her to his yard and said, “Thank you so much! You can’t imagine how much I have enjoyed the flowers that you planted.” “Did I plant? Where?” the young woman was quite surprised. Quickly she walked through the gate into her neighbor’s yard. She saw that on the other side of the wall the plant was full of flowers. She couldn’t believe her eyes.
They were, indeed, the most beautiful flowers she had ever seen. The plant had grown up through the crevices in the wall.
Just because you can’t see the results of your work, it does not mean that there isn’t any fruit.

As a young woman， my mother worked in the kitchen of a large farm owned by Fanny Cratty. She was hardworking and had a special skill in making delicious strawberry jam.
Aunt Fanny was single and had no children. She didn’t like to share love with others. I thought she was very lonely， although she didn’t mind it. She had a workshop where my mother helped her make the best strawberry jam， and everyone in our town bought it. But aunt Fanny asked my mother not to tell the recipe(秘方) of making the strawberry jam to others.
When the strawberries were ripe， my family would pick them together. We talked and laughed， experiencing the fun of picking strawberries. But aunt Fanny never joined us. She just asked us to pick strawberries quickly and make more strawberry jam to make more money for her. Each person in our town said that she just paid attention to money rather than anything else. What a poor woman! It’s no use having too much money because she had no family and friends to share her happiness during her lifetime.
Maybe it was the recipe that brought success to aunt Fanny. But to me， it was just a common recipe. Money can make you feel rich for a while， but it is the beautiful days spent with family and friends that truly make you rich.
1.Who owns the recipe of making the best strawberry jam?
A. The writer’s mother. B. The writer.
C. Aunt Fanny. D. Fanny’s mother.
2.Why do people in the town think aunt Fanny is poor?
A. Because she needed to work hard in her workshop.
B. Because she paid attention to nothing except money.
C. Because she had no close friends to shared her success.
D. Because she always thought of helping others rather than herself.
3.—What does the last word “rich” mean in this passage?
—It means ________.
A. the success of making strawberry jam
B. having the recipe and much money
C. the happiness， one’s family and friends
D. owning a big house and the large farm

Although she’s quite young, Drew Barrymore can be a Hollywood legend (传奇). She was born on February 22, 1975, in California. Being from a family that produced great actors, she quickly found her way into the spotlight (聚光灯).
When she was 11 months old, she made her first advertisement on TV. She made her first movie at the age of 2. Five years later, she acted Gertie in Steven Spielberg’s famous film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982).
However, it wasn’t all roses and sunshine when Barrymore was growing up. She was drinking wine by the time she was 9, smoking marijuana (大麻) at 10.
Most kid stars in Hollywood fail to become stars as adults. And most of the time, once they’re out of the spotlight, they stay out. But Drew Barrymore doesn’t.
As she was growing older, Barrymore got to learn that life is more meaningful than dangerous actions in the films. She started to build a career in 1997. She has made many successful films since then, including Charlie’s Angels (2000) and 50 First Dates (2004).
“In my life, there is darkness and drama, and I ‘m trying my best. I just want to challenge myself and prove that I can do more.”
In fact, if you don’t know her disordered childhood, you might find it hard to believe she’s such a sweet person now. Like many of the characters she plays in her comedy, Drew is easy-going and laughs a lot. In 2007, she was on the cover of People magazine’s 100 Most Beautiful People issue.
“Life is very interesting … in the end, some of your greatest pains, become your greatest strengths,” Drew said.
1.Drew Barrymore made her first movie at ________ .
A. 1975 B. 1979
C. 1977 D. 1982
2. The underlined word “disordered” probably means_____________ in the passage.
A. 幸福的 B. 悲惨的
C. 有序的 D. 混乱的
3.Which is the correct order of Drew Barrymore’s life?
① She made the film Charlie’s Angels.
② She was on the cover of People magazine’s 100 Most Beautiful People issue.
③ She started to drink wine and smoke marijuana.
④ She acted Gertie in Steven Spielberg’s famous film E.T. the Extra- Terrestrial.
A. ④③①② B.④②①③
C. ①④②③ D.①③②④
4.Which of the following chart can best describe Drew Barrymore’s career (till 2007)?
