I’m going to share a story and hope it will help you feel better. Last spring, my mother and I were working together in the garden. When she saw some plants in small pots, she said, “We will dig them out and move them to bigger pots.” “Won’t it hurt them? I think it is safe for them to stay where they are.” I was worried. My mother dug a plant out. “It won’t hurt them,” she said. “Life in the new pot will be difficult. To survive, the roots will grow bigger and stronger. Stronger roots will make a stronger plant.” And now, the plants grow very well in their new, big pots. Often, when change comes my way, I feel like those little plants—I feel like I have been dug up and turned upside down. I am going to worry. Won’t this change be hard for me? Won’t it be good if I stay where I am? Then I will remember my mother’s words: That’s how the roots grow deep and strong. How did you like my story? Please let me know when you write back. Best wishes, Linda ( ) 1. Why did Linda write this letter? A. To ask Brad for gardening advice. B. To share her worries with Brad. C. To encourage Brad with a story. D. To invite Brad to the garden.

What lesson did Linda learn from the story? A. Plants are better off staying in small pots. B. Change can help people grow stronger, just like plants. C.

But Linda’s story tells us that change can be good for us. When plants are moved to bigger pots, they have to grow stronger roots to survive. In the same way, when we face changes like starting a new school, joining a new club or giving a public speech, we have to learn new things and become stronger. For example, when I first started middle school, I was nervous. I didn’t know anyone in my class, and I was afraid to talk to my new classmates. But I decided to face the change bravely. I joined the school’s English club and started talking to people there. Soon, I made many new friends, and I also improved my English speaking skills. Now, I feel more confident and ready for new changes. Just like Linda’s plants, changes may be difficult at first, but they help us grow deep and strong. The next time you face a change, remember that it’s an opportunity to become a better version of yourself. ( ) 6. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Plants grow better in bigger pots. B.
