（2021·辽宁实验中学模拟预测） You may be concerned about how to clear clutter (杂乱的东西) from your bedroom and basement. 16． As May planting season is drawing near, turn your attention towards what can help your garden grow.
Define “weeds” for yourself.
I have always defined weeds as “unwanted plants”. Some, like clover (三叶草),have positive characteristics like enriching the soil. Others, like dandelion greens, can be eaten. So one gardener's weeds might be another gardener's dinner! Decide what you truly value. 17．
Enjoy the weeding process.
Weed removal is a never-ending process. Try to treat the activity in a positive way. You can casually pull weeds as you spot them when walking by your gardens. 18． Whatever attention you are able to give to your weeds is OK — even though you'll never feel quite “finished”, remind yourself that every weed pulled means progress.
19．
After months of being absorbed in colorful garden catalogue, I often hit the nursery (苗圃) in May, filled with inspiration and adventure. “This year,” I say, “I'll try everything!” But time has taught me that this wild ambition can work against me. If I choose too many plants to experiment with, my plantings will crowd each other out. Try making a map of your garden before you head to the garden center, using the recommended spacing to guide your design.
Reassess your garden tool collection.
Just like indoor clutter, garden clutter can result from having too many tools. Some tools are necessary for every gardener. 20． They can build up and collect dust or dirt. So go through your tools and decide which tools don't work for you and which are your forever garden companions.
A．Make a clear garden plan.
B．Sort out your garden tools.
C．But what about clutter in your garden
D．And then pull the rest, without hesitation.
E.Weeds can crowd out your intentional plantings.
F.But too many of them can also cause trouble to you.
G.Or you can set aside time to go all out for weed removal.

（2021·江西·一模）Field Guide: How to Take Great Hunting Videos
Whether it’s just for family and friends, social media or YouTube, more and more hunters are recording videos of their hunts.26．But if you follow these tips, you will soon be well on your way to filming like a professional.
Structure
For YouTube, shorter is better(one to ten minutes). Include an introduction, but keep it short, make it interesting and highlight the who, what, where, when and why.27．Be creative and leave viewers wanting more additional videos.
Storytelling
To hold a viewer’s attention, you need plenty of short and complete elements to improve the storyline. Examples include a sunrise, sunset or sitting silently.28．Note that clips longer than 20 seconds can become boring to watch, so try to keep them to less than eight seconds.
Equipment
29．The purpose is to make every clip clean and well lit. Sometimes, the manual focus is superior to autofocus. Most of today’s cameras have an image-stabilizing function, but it isn’t enough—few people can shoot steady, handheld videos. Use some tools to help hold the camera still.
Message
What you want to express in your video is of great significance. Some of today’s hunting TV shows often lose sight of the reasons why we hunt. Even when making home videos, we only focus on the trophy (战利品).30．
A．Learn to properly use your recording device.

C．Instead, be unique, attractive and authentic.

Passage 1

____4____ On our first morning in Paris, I went around the corner to the food market to pick up some groceries. I bought a handful of perfectly ripe small strawberries and a little sweet melon. My husband and I agreed they were the best fruit we had ever eaten. But they cost $18!

（2013·辽宁·高考真题）Forgiveness
To forgive is a virtue, but no one has ever said it is easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate.

Calm yourself. ___17___ You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.
