    Most British people prefer to live in a house rather than,a flat and one of the reasons for this is that houses usually have gardens.The garden is a place where people can be outside and yet private.

    If a house has a front and back garden,the front is likely to be formal and decorative,with a lawn (an area of grass) or fancy paving and flower borders.The back garden usually also has a lawn and flower beds,and sometimes a vegetable land or fruit trees.There is often a bird table (a raised platform on which food is put for birds) and a shed in which garden tools are kept.

    Many British people spend quite a lot of money on their gardens and even the smallest may contain many kinds of flowers and plants.For many British people gardening is a hobby and they take great pride in their gardens.Some towns and village have competitions for the best-kept small garden.People with a small garden,or no garden at all can rent a piece of land,on which most people grow vegetables.

    There are garden centers near most towns,selling everything a gardener might need,from flowerpots to fish ponds as well as different plants.

    The British's interest in gardening affects the appearance of whole towns.Public parks and traffic roundabouts often have bright displays of flowers in summer and public buildings have window boxes（窗口花坛）and hanging baskets.Towns and villages enter for the yearly Britain in Bloom competition.

    At weekends many British people like to visit famous gardens,such as that at Stowe near Banbury,built in the 18th century.Every summer the National Gardens Scheme publishes a thin book listing private gardens belonging to enthusiastic gardeners which are open to the public on a particular day.Visitors like to look around and get ideas for their own gardens.

    A. The British love gardening as a hobby.

    B. The British spend too much money on touring.

    C. Poor British people cannot afford gardening.

    D. The British like showing off their gardens.

    2.What can we know from Paragraph 5?

    Third-Culture Kids

    Did you grow up in one culture, your parents came from another, and you are now living in a totally different country? If so, then you are a third-culture kid!

    The term “third-culture kid” (or TCK) was coined in the 1960s by Dr. Ruth. She first came across this phenomenon when she researched North American children living in India. Caught between two cultures, they form their very own. 1. About 90 percent of them have a university degree, while 40 percent pursue a postgraduate or doctor degree. They usually benefit from their intercultural experience, which helps them to grow into successful academics and professionals.

    2. In fact many hardships may arise from this phenomenon. A third-culture kid may not be able to adapt themselves completely to their new surroundings as expected. Instead, they may always remain an outsider in different host cultures. Max, for example, experienced this fundamental feeling of strangeness throughout his life as a third-culture kid. 3. While this can be a way to create a network of friends all around the world, it can be difficult for a third-culture kid like Max to maintain close friendships and relationships.

    For a third-culture kid, it is often easier to move to a new foreign country than to return to their “home” country. After living in Australia and South Korea for many years, Louis finally returned to Turkey as a teenager. But she felt out of place when she returned to the country where she was born. 4. She did not share the same values as her friends’ even years after going back home.

    While a third-culture kid must let go of their identity as foreigner when he/she returns, the home country can prove to be more foreign than anything he/she came across before. The peer group they face does not match the idealized image children have of “home”.5.

    As a part of the growing “culture”, TCKs may find it a great challenge for them to feel at home in many places.

    A. Yet being a third-culture kid is not always easy.

    B. In general, they often reach excellent academic results.

    C. This often makes it hard for them to form their own identity.

    D. However, their parents can help them see the opportunities of a mobile lifestyle.

    E. Their experience abroad helps them to gain a better understanding of cultural differences.

    F. Unlike other teens of her age, she didn’t know anything about current TV shows or fashion trends.

    G. Additionally, making new friends and saying goodbye to old ones will at some point become routine for a third-culture kid.
