When I was a little girl, my grandparents lived in a house with a big front yard. They loved each other and planted lots of vegetables and flowers together in the yard.
But one summer Grandpa died, so it was hard for Grandma to care for the garden alone. When spring came, she planted just a few vegetables and flowers.
One day in the early summer, Grandma heard big noises in the yard. She looked out of the window and saw thousands of bees.
What could she do? Should she hire someone to get rid of the bees? But that would cost more than she could afford. She decided to wait.
Over the next few days, the bees were busy with their own business. That summer, Grandma's little garden grew and grew. The neighbors would stop to admire the big crop of vegetables and the lovely flowers.
One day, Grandma's brother visited. When she told him about the bees, he said, "Farmers often hire beekeepers to come to their fields. The bees pollinate (授粉) the crops, which helps them to grow."
"So that's why my garden is doing so well!" She believed Grandpa had sent the bees to take his place and make Grandma's little garden grow and grow...

When I was little, I always wanted a luxurious house. That was my idea to be successful. I took all the classes with full carefulness and tried to do well in the exams with my mind set on going to a key school. I just knew that I would somehow become famous and be able to afford the dream house. All the way through junior years, my mind was planning this wonderful future.
Then in the tenth grade, many losses changed my mind. First, one of my friends died at 16. Soon after, my great-grandmother passed away, followed by my beloved fourth-grade teacher. These events left me not knowing what to do or where to go. Death had never touched me so closely.
After a long period of emptiness, it finally struck me: Life is not promised and neither is future success. Though I was attempting to achieve material success, I was not enjoying my daily life. I realized that finding inner peace, purpose and happiness will stick with me forever and that is real success.
Enjoying life's precious quirks(偶发事件) makes an ordinary person more successful than a wealthy person who isn't content and takes everything for granted. The summer before senior years, my attitude changed greatly. Instead of memorizing facts, I began learning skills. Instead of focusing on the future, I focused on today and the many blessings and successes that came with it.
I still get excellent grades, but now I devote weeks to studying instead of struggling for exams, and I think about the future with a deeper sense of meaning. For me, being successful means truly living life each day.

A. Getting a great house B. Taking classes carefully
C. Doing well in the exams D. Being famous
2.Why did the author change his idea to be successful?
A. His beloved teacher was dead
B. He lost a few beloved persons in a short time
C. He couldn’t afford a house
D. He didn't know how to fight for the house
3.According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A. His teacher died before the death of his grandpa
B. He thought that life and success were not promised
C. He failed the exams after he changed his attitude
D. He didn’t want to achieve material success any longer
4.What does the author wants to tell the readers?
A. Material success is unnecessary
B. He was glad that he changed his mind
C. Set goals and work hard to be successful
D. Cherish every moment and truly live life

Both of my parents worked full-time when I was a little girl, so my grandmother would stay at our house during the day. We would watch game shows in the living room. Our favorite was The Price is Right. We would call out our answers along with the contestants.
When I got older and started going to school, we couldn’t watch our game shows regularly. That was okay with me, though, because the one thing I liked better than watching game shows with my grandmother was helping her bake. Watching her in the kitchen was amazing: she never seemed to need the recipes but everything she made tasted delicious.
At first I would just sit in the kitchen and watch, even though I didn’t understand what she was doing. As I got older, she let me help with the easy parts, such as measuring the sugar. The day she let me separate the eggs,I felt like I had found complete pleasure.
At last, my parents decided that I could take care of myself,and my grandmother stopped coming over every day. The love of baking, however, stayed with me. I started baking by myself, and even if the cookies ended up burnt sometimes, more often they turned out pretty well. I tried out new recipes, and whenever I got to a thorny part, I would call my grandmother for advice. Sometimes I would call her just to talk, too. I felt like I could talk to her about anything.
My grandmother passed away ten years ago, but I still think of her every day. Last week, I found a recipe book she made for me. It included her recipes for brownies, cookies, and my favorite, lemon pie. As I looked through the pages, I thought I could hear her voice. She was the one who taught me not just about baking, but about life.

A. time B. place
