I have never taken cooking classes. I learned cooking from my mother because she was really interested in teaching me how to cook. The main reason for this was because when my mother got married, she didn’t know how to cook anything, not even an egg. My grandmother never allowed her to stay in the kitchen when she was cooking.

My mother did not start to cook until she was 25 years old. In the beginning, it was very hard for her. Therefore, she had to take cooking classes to prepare our meals. After having that experience, she decided to teach me how to cook because she didn’t want me to have the same experience.

I remember when I was seven years old, and my mother was cooking, I was with her in the kitchen enjoying cooking. I always helped her. Sometimes we prepare meals that my mother already knew how to make, and sometimes we prepared them from recipes. Nowadays, I am really thankful for that experience because I don’t need help to cook a meal. I can cook for myself alone or for a group of people--it doesn’t matter.

I will do the same with my children because I don’t want them to have the same experience as my mother. If one day I am not with them, I want to be sure that they can carry on their lives without me.

Isn’t spring a beautiful season? Flowers of all colors and shapes(形状) can be seen everywhere. They make our world look and smell better. So. it is no surprise that people love flowers! Well...except for one——dandelions(蒲公英)!

In order to have a tidy garden, we try our best to kill all dandelions or dig them out——only to see unwanted plants grow right back. But that’s not bad because we have good reasons to leave them alone.

In fact, a 2014 study listed dandelions as one of the top 41 healthiest foods. Dandelions are full of vitamins(生素) K, A, E and C. They have long been used as medicine.

Another great thing about dandelions is that you can eat every part of them, either cooked or uncooked. You can also put flowers or roots (根) in hot water to make dandelion tea. Great! Nothing goes to waste!

Besides, dandelions are fun for kids! Pick the white top, close your eyes, make a wish and blow! If you blow all of it off in one go, your wish will come true! This game is played all over the world.

Still unwanted plants? Of course not! Dandelions are good for human health as well as our kitchen. They also provide(提供) kids with free toys! So next time when you are blowing them, blow harder—you’re helping this great plant grow in the wild, even if your own wish does not come true!

(    )33. The first paragraph is mainly to draw readers’ attention（注意力) to___________.

A.flowers        B. colors         C.shapes         D. dandelions

If you ask anyone, “Do you wish you can be more successful?” Nearly everyone will say.“Yes!”But how many people know what leads to success? Success, does not come only from luck or good relationships!

The first important part of true success is hard work. Some people get fame(名声) or wealth(财富) without working very hard, but this usually does not last for a long time. People who do not work hard for heir success do not value it and usually quickly lose it. Success that comes from hard work will last a long time. And you are used to hard work. If you lose your success, you can work hard again!

Honesty (诚实) is another important part of success. Many of us know a few dishonest people who are very successful. But in the long run, their dishonesty destroys them. Success that comes from dishonesty will never last, but success from honest hard work will last for your whole life.

Finally, wisdom(才智) is important to success. Of course, you can get a lot of wisdom from your own experiences.However, much wisdom also comes from listening to others, especially to people with more experience than you. Only a fool thinks that he already knows everything that he needs to succeed.

So work as hard as possible, be honest in everything, and look for wisdom wherever you can find it and your life will certainly be a success.

(    )37.What is the best title for this article?

1. What Leads to Success          B. You Can Be More Successful

1. you are honest and have wisdom  
2. you will never lose that success
