It was a career move for my husband, and our 20-year-old daughter was feeling adventurous and decided to come, too. However, just before leaving England, my 79-year-old mother suffered a stroke (中风). Being strong and independent, she continued to live at home with the help of social services. But she couldn’t look after the garden. I thought how wonderful it would be if there was an organisation offering volunteer help. Friends asked me what I planned to do in Australia, and I told them I would be looking for a volunteer position with a gardening charitable organisation. Imagine my surprise when I found just the organisation I had been looking for—Easy Care Gardening (ECG)!There are several reasons why I volunteer for ECG. Firstly, as a newcomer to Australia I meet many great people who, like me, volunteer some of their time. We cover a large age range, but all love gardens and helping others.Secondly, through working with ECG I have been lucky enough to explore Sydney’s North Shore that I might not have had the chance to visit otherwise.Finally, there are all those wonderful people we call clients (客户), but who are more like friends when we visit them often and tend their gardens. What great people I have met, and the stories they have to tell—the family histories, where they come from and the reasons for immigrating to Australia! I find it a privilege to have access to private gardens which, in many cases, have been the joy of their owners for many years. Each one is individual and reflects the character, needs and the history of each family. Indeed, the gardens reflect the multicultural and historical background of Sydney.4.

It’s where you start with an idea, create a way to prove or disprove your idea, and show what you learned based on facts. Learning to follow this process helps you think logically and carefully. These important thinking skills can be used in many areas of study. To give a child practice with these thinking skills is like giving vitamins (维生素) to a developing mind.One of the greatest things we can teach our children is to love learning. Learning science is a great way to do so. Children are easy to be interested in science. Because much of science is hands-on, it attracts most children. Nothing makes a child sit up and take notice like the “WOW!” of a great science showing.Science opens doors to many subjects at school. Building love for science can be helpful in other areas of study. For example, one cannot love science for very long without becoming good at its language—math! So science encourages children to study math. An interest in science is an interest in how things were once understood compared to how they are understood now. Thus studying science leads itself easily to studying history. And after you do an experiment, you need to write a lab report. Therefore, writing becomes an important part of science.Science is the basic thing for much of our life. The science of farming shows how our food is produced; biomedical (生物医学) science keeps us healthy; even our beds these days are designed according to scientific facts. We almost eat, sleep and breathe with the help of science! When we prepare the next generation of voters, creators and policymakers, it is important to make sure they are not only comfortable but also good at science.8. What does learning the scientific method mean to kids according to the second paragraph?A. Refusing any ideas that are not logical.B. Helping them develop thinking skills.C. Learning many areas of study.D. Learning to do experiment.解析: 细节理解题。根据文章第二段第三、四句“Learning to follow this process helps you think logically and carefully.
