    For years I wanted a garden. I'd spend hours thinking of different things I could plant that would look nice together.

        But then we had Mathew, and Marvin, and the twins -- Alisa and Alan, and then Helen. I was too busy raising them to grow a garden.

        Money was not enough. Neither was time. Often when my children were little, one of them would want something that cost too much, I'd have to say,"Do you see a money tree outside? Money doesn't grow on trees, you know."

        Finally, all the children got through high school and college and were off on their own. I started thinking again about a garden.

        Then, one spring morning, on Mother's Day, I was working in my kitchen. Suddenly, I looked out of the window and there was a new tree, planted right in my yard. There were things blowing around on it. Then I put my glasses on and I couldn't believe what I saw. There was a money tree in my yard!

        I went out to look. It was true! There were dollar bills, one hundred of them, hanging all over that tree. There was also a note among them, "Thank you for your time, Mom. We love you!"

        Later, my children bought me tools, ornaments(装饰品), a sunflower stepping stone and gardening books. A new page started in my life.

        That was three years ago. My garden is now very pretty, just like I wanted. When I go out and take care of my flowers, I don't seem to miss my children as much as I once did. It feels like they're right there with me. Now every year when winter comes, I look out of my window and think of the flowers I'll see next spring in my little garden. I think about what my children did for me, and I get tears in my eyes -- every time.

        I'm still not sure that money grows on trees. But I know love does!

    Choose the best answer.

        Karen lived with her parents in the Karoo Basin of South Africa. The Karoo was famous for plant and animal fossils(化石) ,Karen's father was a paleontologist(古生物学家) ,and Karen enjoyed looking at the dinosaur bones in his office. She hoped to discover her own dinosaur someday.

        Every summer, Karen's father invited paleontologists from around the world to the Karoo. As they hiked through the dry land, he would show them fossil samples(样本) within the layers of sedimentary rock(沉积岩) and ash.

        This summer, Karen asked her father if she could go along on the hike. He agreed, but he asked her to stay close by. As they drove to the trail(小径) ,Karen's heart beat quickly with excitement. There were so many places to visit.

        The hike was interesting, but Karen was too curious to stay on the trail. Without asking, she ran down into a nearby ravine(峡谷) and looked among the rocks, Then, he heard her father's voice calling to her. She ran up the side of ravine. Suddenly, she spotted something white and shiny. "Dad!" she shouted excitedly.

        Karen's father stood at the top of the ravine with the other people. They looked worried until Karen pointed to the shiny object. All the paleontologists examined it. They nodded to each other in surprise. It was the skull(骨头) of a dinosaur nobody knew about! The paleontologists took pictures and shook Karen's hands. Her father smiled, "Karen." he said. "You are now the youngest paleontologist in the Karoo!"

    In fact, creating patterns on the tea foam is not easy. It is quick work. {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(usual), the whole process has to be finished within 10 minutes. One needs at least one {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (year) practice to be able to do it. In order to spread di an cha culture to more people, Han posted(发布) the process of tea — whisking and drawing online, attracting more than 20,000 followers.
