In a nice cottage with a large garden in a small town of England, He was seen to water or fertilize his flowers all the time. The garden was obviously well-tended and the flowers were so gorgeous that every passer-by would stop fer a look. It was like a baby that was taken good care of.
One day a young painter went by the old man’s garden. He stared at the splendid garden and the special cottage,completely lost in admiration at the beauty of these sights, picturing how happy he would be if he lived in such a beautiful place.Then, suddenly he found the gardener was blind. Shocked, the painter approached him, asking, “Why are you busy looking after these flowers every day but in fact you cannot see them?”  The blind man smiled , “ I can tell you some reasons. First, I was a gardener when I was young. I saw the flowers every day and I really enjoy the job. Second, although I can’t see these flowers now, I can touch them. Third, I can smell the sweetness of them.As to the last one, that's you.” “Me? But you don’t know me.”  responded the painter, puzzled still.
“Yeah, it’s true that I don’t know you. But I know flowers are like angels. I know many people who are enthusiastic about life would stop by and the beauty of my garden will get them into a good mood. Meanwhile, They also give me a chance to have a word with you here and to enjoy the happiness these flowers have brought us.” The old man’s words touched the painter.
He grew flowers and regarded them as a link of minds. Every flower had eyes with which they could see kindness of the old man's heart and the sweetness of his soul. He grew flowers in his heart. Just like Beethoven, who was deaf, but composed a sea of attractive tunes, the blind man created beauty for the world.

May I have your attention, please?
I’m glad to talk with ray plan for the last month before the college entrance examination.
First of all, as senior student of high school, studying is our most important task. I will focus on how to improve the efficiency of my study and how to improve my different skill, especially the ability to solving problems. Secondly, I should reasonable arrange my daily life. I’m going to get up at about six in every morning and go to bed at half past ten at night and have a break at noon for an hour so that I had enough energy for my study every day. However, I will have sports for at least an hour to build up my body. Then, I will watch TV or listen to music for a short time, that can relieve my stress from hard work every day.
I hope my schedule can help you perform well in the coming college entrance examination.
Thank you!

I considered an active social life as basic human necessity. Yet when it dawned on me just how much time I was spending socialising, I realised I may be taking it to an extreme. I calculated that, on average, I was spending 22 hours or more each week on social activities. So, to see what would happen to my work output, health and wellbeing, I decided to try and cut out my social life entirely.
I knew, at times, I filled my schedule simply out of fear of missing out (FOMO), but also as a way to shift focus away from my work. For one month, I declined all in-person activities with friends: going out for drinks; dinners; parties and non-work related events, to see if it would make me more productive, improve my focus and career prospects.
On day one of the month-long experiment, I had to fight some anxiety over missing out. But as the days passed, I started to relax. I only had one option to consider for Saturday night—to stay home—and this limitation left me more satisfied in my decision. I felt more content working, reading or watching TV.
While I found more time to work, I also noticed a change in my overall health. I found myself cooking more at home, doing daily exercise, getting to bed earlier each night, reading, and enjoying moments of rest and boredom throughout the day.
Having no social life left me more free time than I’d imagine. Such idle moments are vital for creativity, and mind wandering has been linked to creative problem solving. During the experiment I found myself regularly brainstorming new ideas and reimagining existing projects.
Of course socialising is an important way to build work contacts. While one month of no social life did not impact my relationship with existing clients, if I had continued, it may harm my ability to build new ones.

D.He should have spent more time socializing.
【小题2】How did the author feel on the first day of his experiment?
A.He felt anxious that he might be left out.
B.He felt more energetic to get clown to work.
C.He felt relaxed not having to contact people.
D.He felt doubtful whether he could hold on.
【小题3】What benefit did the author find to let his mind wander lazily?
A.He could have more time with his family.
B.He could solve problems in a creative way.
C.He could be more concentrated on his work.
D.He could free himself from the work contacts.
【小题4】What would the author do after the experiment?
A.Live a quiet life with his family away from the outside.
B.Make a new social life with any possible customers.
C.Spare some time regularly for creative thinking alone.
D.Continue his work contacts with his customers.
