But no one knew that thevegetables in the patch and the tree couldn't2 each other for a long time. The vegetablesdidn't like the tree's shade (树荫) because it stoppedthem from getting enough3. The tree, on the other hand, hated thevegetables. The4 wasthat the vegetables drank nearly all the water before it could get to him,leaving him a little water.

Good morning, everyone!

I have changed a lot in the last two years. Today I'd like to share my own experience with you.

My life has become more interesting and colorful.

The first Starbucks coffee shop opened in 1971 in a town of Seattle, Washington, in the United States. It was a small coffee shop that cooked its own coffee beans. The coffee shop's business did well, and by 1981 there were three more Starbucks stores in Seattle and they joined into a small company. 

Things really began to change for the company in 1981. That year. Howard Schultz met the three men who run （经营） Starbucks. Schultz worked in New York for a company that made kitchen instrument. He noticed that Starbucks ordered a large number of special coffee makers, and he was interested in the company. Schultz went to Seattle to see what Starbucks did and he liked what he saw. He wanted to become part of the company. In 1982, the original (原先的)Starbucks owners chose Schultz as the company's head of marketing. 

In 1983, Schultz travelled to Italy. The special atmosphere(氛围) of the coffee bars there caught his eye. To Schultz, it seemed that Italians spent their daily lives in three places: home, work, and coffee bars. His experience in Italy gave Schultz a new idea for Starbucks back in Seattle. 

Schultz created an atmosphere for Starbucks coffee shops that was comfortable, and customers everywhere seemed to like it. Between 1987 and 1992, Starbucks opened 150 new stores - and that was only the beginning. In fact, by the year 2000, three new Starbucks stores opened somewhere around the world every day!

Today, Starbucks has thousands of stores, including stores in twenty - six countries. One thing that helps make Starbucks succeed in cities outside the United States is the way Starbucks works with local stores and restaurants. By working together with a store already in the city, Starbucks gets an understanding of customers in the city. This understanding helps Starbucks open stores in the right places for their customers. 

Bruce loves music because it makes him feel easy. He is shy, and making friends has been1 for him. That's why his mother asked him to take the2 this year. "You'd better not sit there with your headphones on, "she told him. 

Bruce nodded. But the moment he sat on the bus, he3 his headphones and closed his eyes. He was soon lost in a song of his favorite band, the Blue-Bob. 4 . he sensed someone around him. He opened his eyes and saw a boy from his5 . 

"Hey, Bruce? I'm Mike, "the boy said. *I think we both take the music class. Did I hear6 singing a song by the Blue-Bob just now?"

"Uh, no, "Bruce's face turned red, "That wasn't me. "Mike looked a little7 . Without saying anything, he went away. 

For the next few days, Bruce kept asking himself8 he had lied to Mike. "Maybe he also loves the Blue-Bob. Maybe he was just being9 , "he thought. So when they saw each other on the bus the next day, Bruce managed to10 a smile on his face. 

"Hi, Bruce, "Mike said. "I can hear your11 every day, and you have such a good taste. "Bruce's eyes lit up. "Don't you think the songs are too12 ?""he asked. "Not at all, ""Mike answered. ""1 love songs of the past too. My grandpa is really into music, and he has13 me to sing many of them. "

Bruce listened as Mike talked about his favorite songs. And they shared the head-phones, singing softly along with the music14 Bruce got off at his stop. 

"See you tomorrow!" Mike said. 

Bruce waved goodbye. "I must tell Mom how I15 Mike and we had the best time…with headphones on, "he smiled to himself.
