The Other Side of the Wall There was a young woman who took great pride in her flower garden. She was raised by her grandmother who taught her to love and 1 for flowers. So her flower garden was the best.
One day,while she was looking through a flower list she often 2 from,a picture of a plant caught her eyes. She had never 3 blooms (花) on a flower like that before. “I have to have it. ” she said to herself,and she 4 ordered it.
When it arrived,she already had a 5prepared to plant it. She planted it at the back of her yard. It grew well,with beautiful green leaves all over it,6 there were no blooms. Day after day she continued to water it,feed it,and she even talked to it trying to make it bloom. However,it was 7 .
One morning weeks later,when standing before the vine,she felt very 8 that her plant had not bloomed. She was giving thought to 9 it down and planting something else in its place.
It was at this point that her neighbor,whose 10 joined hers,called over to her. “Thank you so much! You can't imagine how much I have 11 the blooms of that vine you planted. ” The young woman walked 12 the gate into her neighbor's yard,and sure enough,she saw that on the other side of the wall the vine was 13 with blooms.
There were indeed the most beautiful blooms she had 14 seen. The vine had grown through the crevices (縫) and it had not flowered on 15 side of the wall,but it had flowered on the other side.
Sometimes one may not see the good result of his effort,but that doesn't mean it isn't successful.

Honesty of American students
When I first arrived in America,I was surprised by the honesty of my classmates. Over my first month at school,I didn't see or hear anyone cheating. found two reasons for this.
First,if any student cheats,he or she will get punished. My school has a rule called the Honor Code. It asks students not to steal,lie or cheat. If someone goes against the code,he or she will have to leave the school. During my first year in the school,seven students left the school because of cheating.
Second,American students don't care about scores as much as Chinese students do. They know that colleges will look at their all-round abilities instead of only scores. So they have fewer reasons to cheat.
1. The writer didn't see or hear anyone cheating when she first arrived in America,did she?
2. What is the Honor Code about?
3. What will happen if students go against the code?
4. Who does the writer think care more about scores,American students or Chinese students?
5. Do American colleges think all-round abilities are important for students?
