There was a lovely vegetable patch（菜园）. A large tree grew there. Both the patch and the tree gave the place a wonderful look, and they were the pride（骄傲）of the gardener. But no one knew that the vegetables and the tree couldn’t satnd each other. The vegetables hated the tree’s shadow（阴影）, because it left them only just enough light to live.

Long long ago, a king went to a local village. He placed a large stone(石头）in the middle of the main road and put gold coins (金币)under the stone. Then he hid behind a large tree and watched.
The first person down the street was a milkman with his cart. He ran into the stone and the milk was all over the ground. “What fool put this stone here ” he shouted. He picked himself up and angrily went away.
After a while, a group of women came along with a pot of water on her head. One woman tripped over(绊倒）the stone and her water pot fell onto the ground. She picked herself up, cried and walked away, but no one thought about moving the stone out of the road.
The king watched all day as many people complained about the stone, but he found nobody wanted to move it. The king wondered, “Is there no one in this village who feels any responsibility to keep their neighbors from danger ”
Just then, the king saw a young girl coming along. She was the daughter of a local farmer. She had been working all day and was very tired. But when she saw the stone, she said to herself. “This stone is a danger to anyone who comes down the road after dark. I’ll move it out of the way.”
After much effort, the girl finally succeeded in moving the stone to the side of the road. She was surprised when she saw the gold coins under the stone!
Just then, the king stepped out from behind the tree. “Oh sir," the girl said, “Is this gold yours If not, we surely must find the owner, for he will certainly miss it.”
The king said, “My dear, the gold is mine, but now the gold is yours, because you are the only person who has learnt the lesson I want to teach my people. Nothing good can come to a nation whose people only complain and expect others to solve their problems.”

Riding a Mobike on the street, you might hear some people speaking Chinese aloud. Turning to the right, you see a Sichuan-style restaurant. After walking into a store, you see that Huawei smartphones are on sale. But you're not in China! You're in Manchester in Britain. In fact, you might see similar things in many other cities. Chinese products have been going all over the world.
Chinese food has been enjoyed in Western countries for a long time. To meet local people’s tastes, Chinese restaurants have made some changes to the dishes. “One example is the meat,” said Yin Hang, a Chinese student, who is studying in Australia. "We like to eat meat with the bone in, but people here don’t. So the local Chinese restaurants provide big pieces of meat without bones, even for fish."
“Some Chinese brands are also becoming more popular. It is reported that in many cities in Europe, many stores sell TCL televisions, Haier fridges and Lenovo computers. More than half of US-owned drones(无人机) are Chinese models, according to China Daily. They are not only made in China, but also designed and developed in the country.
In the past, most Western people thought Chinese products were cheap and unreliable. But now, things have changed greatly. More people trust Chinese brands. “Made in China” becomes cool. “They are beautiful and offer some features that American phones like Blackberry don’t have,” an article on CNN once said about Chinese smartphones.
As it is said, Chinese government has been trying its best to improve its national brands of all kinds to meet the needs of modern life.

Since the World Mental Health Day (世界精神卫生日) started on October 10th, 1992, more people have begun to pay attention to their mental health. So the mental health day is becoming more popular.
What is a mental health day
“In addition to the World Mental Health Day, it’s important for people to take regular (定期的) mental health days for themselves,” says Doctor David A.Merrill. “The mental health day is a way to give yourself a break and pay attention to your mental health. It can be any day.”
__________________________________
“Mental health days are important for people of all ages and can be done differently,” says Cheryl Rode. “You can go for a trip outdoors, make your favourite meal, turn down your computer, or do some exercise. No matter what you choose to relax, the key is to do it often.”
What will you get from a mental health day
First of all, it can help you stay healthy. When you are taking a mental health day, you have time to focus on what your body really needs. You will eat slowly and healthily. Secondly, you can sleep better. One of the first signs (症状) of poor mental health is poor sleep. What you should do is have a relaxing day and drink a glass of warm milk before sleeping.

I was doing the work in the garden yesterday. It was a soft evening and I was making the most of it when I heard a neighbor’s voice coming from the path out of our garden.
“That’s no place to be sleeping!” he said.
I found there was a man lying on his back on the path with his eyes closed. I recognized him. I had seen him doing the drunkard’s (酒鬼) walk along that path several times.
I stopped to walk out. “Do you need some help ” I asked.
He opened his eyes and said, “Probably.” Then he told me because of arthritis (关节炎) he couldn’t walk well at the most of times. I thought I should do it when he asked to help him go home where he lived a few hundred metres away.
I tried to let him walk under his own strength with me guiding him but that was getting us nowhere. It was easier to carry him, but that would be a real insult (侮辱) to him. So, I held his left hand with my left hand and grabbed his belt with my right hand. Then we started walking slowly.
On the way he told me his name, what he had worked as, what holidays he had been, how wonderful his granddaughter was, what his wife’s name was — and what a hard time she would give him when he got home!
Thank goodness! His wife wasn’t in when we walked forty-five minutes back to his home.
If we wait until we feel good about helping before we help, then people will go unhelped and we will become the ones who end up walking on by.
36.When did the story happen
A.When the writer finished his work.
B.When the writer was walking on the path.
C.When the writer almost ended up his work.
D.When the writer wanted to begin his work.
37.Who was lying on the path
A.A neighbor. B.The writer’s wife. C.A drunkard. D.A gardener.
38.Why didn’t the writer carry the man
A.Because he could walk well by himself.
B.Because it would be an insult to him.
C.Because it was only a few hundred metres away.
D.Because his wife would give him a hard time.
39.According to the passage, which is RIGHT
A.The man was a talented person.
B.The man enjoyed having holidays.
C.The man’s wife was always kind to him.
D.The man loved his granddaughter very much.
40.What does the story want to tell us

B.Give somebody a helping hand in time.
C.Never give up when you meet difficulties.
D.Solve problems by yourself when something happens.
