UNIT 5 课时跟踪检测（四） 重点题型强化练 Ⅰ.阅读理解 “Your mind is a garden; your thoughts are the seeds. The harvest can either be flowers or weeds，” William Wordsworth wrote. In the above quote, William suggests that the process of gardening mirrors human life. Depending on what we “plant” in our lives, we bloom (生长茂盛) or don't. Before you start to work in your garden, it's necessary to have a vision for it. Thinking of what you want to grow in your garden and how to lay it out is a good first step in making your vision a fruitful reality. In life, you should consider what you want to create and what you want to achieve, because your mind­garden is like the white paper and the possibilities are endless. Regardless of what you choose to plant, poor soil isn't suitable for growth. This is why gardeners take the time and energy to upgrade the soil before planting. So, creating the right soil is important to the realization of your goals and dreams. Fortunately, there are countless ways to make your personal bedrock better. Getting an education is one of the most effective ways, which can help you enrich your life's soil. You don't have to be an enthusiastic gardener to understand the meaning of “You reap (收获) what you sow.” When a gardener wants tomatoes, they just need to plant tomato seeds. It's a very clear act that produces an expected result. Each of us has the power to decide which “life seeds” to plant. For example, if you plant ill seeds, it's likely that you'll experience pain in return. Contrarily, if you plant seeds of kindness and understanding, your life will bloom with happiness and love. A gardener's truly arduous work begins after the seeds are in the ground because a garden requires a lot of care and attention. Regular watering and weeding are required for a healthy garden. So, to ensure your dreams take root, you should be devoted, aware, and present. After countless hours and energy spent, the crops have grown well and are finally ready to be harvested. 语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文
