Every time someone feels happy, disappointed, or angry, we write the 1 on a piece of paper and put it into the jar. Every Sunday evening, we read the notes and talk about them. At first, I didn't like this rule. As a teen, I 2 to keep my feelings to myself. I didn't want to talk about 3 in front of my parents. So I only wrote 4 things like, “I saw a rabbit.” I always wrote the note 5 , just to finish it. One week, I had a big fight with my mom. I 6 at her because she didn't let me go on a picnic. That night, full of 7 , I wrote honestly, “I cried today because I hurt Mom.” I 8 to know if Mom would still love me. On Sunday, I was nervous when my note was read, 9 Mom was not angry. She gave me a hug and said, “We all make mistakes and the important thing is to learn from them.” Her words 10 my heart and made me feel warm. From then on, I began writing more things, like feeling 11 after I won a football game. Our Sunday talks became better. We shared our stories and 12 each other in hard times. Now, I see the jar is a 13 that helps us connect. It teaches us to stay calm and 14 others' feelings. That jar is one of the most 15 things in our family. I like this rule best at home. ( ) 1.

There are over 3,000 ancient buildings and more than 1,600 ancient trees in this garden. It is known as the “Imperial Garden Museum” in China. In the past, Emperors and their family members usually came to this garden to spend the hot summer. As for private gardens, the most famous one is the Humble Administrator's Garden (拙政园) in Suzhou. Although it is quite small compared with imperial gardens, it's very beautiful. Some trees, lakes, flowers and man-made mountains can be found in the garden. Tourists can also see private houses near the garden. Traditional Chinese gardens have been built to look natural. In fact, Chinese gardens are like Chinese paintings. These two have influenced each other. Both of them show the idea of the importance of nature in Chinese culture. 26. How does the writer start this passage? A. By showing a fact. B.
