He built walls around his garden and kept children out. No kids could go through the gate. Whenever he saw children, he would shout at them. Without children, his garden was no longer lively. Winter stayed all year round. The giant felt stressed and lonely. He feared spring would not come back. Then one day, he saw children coming into the garden through a hole in the wall. Soon trees turned green and flowers bloomed. The climax of the story comes when the giant knows he is wrong. He feels ashamed of his behaviour. He decides to knock down the wall.

However, sometimes people may argue with each other over small things. If you have different ideas, how can you reach an agreement? Here is some useful advice. First, try to respect others’ feelings. Don’t be selfish and only think about yourself. Second, find time to discuss your problems calmly. Perhaps you can find similar ideas between you. Third, learn to listen when others explain their thoughts. Recently, many students in Grade 8 have talked about this topic in class.

Don’t let bad feelings pass for a long time. A friendly talk can work well. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 16. What does the writer think of neighbours? A. They are just strangers on the lane. B.

Poem writers. 20. What is the best title for Passage B? A. How to get on well with neighbours B. A famous story about a giant C. Ways to build garden gates D. How to find holes in walls Passage C Reading stories and poems is a common hobby among students. A good story has clear action and an exciting climax, and it always carries a meaningful message. When you read, you can discuss the story with your classmates online or at school. Last week, our class watched a short play about The Selfish Giant. After watching, our teacher offered us some suggestions. She asked us to guess the giant’s feelings at different times and explain why he changed. Many of us said the giant felt afraid and stressed before he knocked down the wall. Later, he felt glad to share his garden. True happiness never comes to selfish people. Whenever you get a chance, try to be kind to people around you. If you meet disagreements, don’t argue. Talk patiently. You will find similar ideas and reach an agreement in the end. This priceless lesson stays in our mind. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 21. What does a good story usually have? A. A narrow lane and a dividing line. B. Clear action and an exciting climax. C.
