亨利王子和亞瑟爵士去了亞瑟爵士的家。他的大院子被分成(be divided into)兩部分一里院和外院，外院是一個有花壇的大花園。亞瑟爵士取消(cancel)他所有的活動，在家里陪著王子。他告訴亨利，“我的花壇會講話，它有一個秘密。”王子覺得很奇怪。亞瑟爵士繼續說道，“它只把秘密說給那些每天關注它的人。如果你知道了這個秘密，你會在這一年里每天都快樂。”

　　亨利王子看著花壇，但上面沒有花朵，甚至連一片樹葉也沒有。然后，他每天圍繞(circle)花壇轉，即使當暴風雨(storm)來臨時他也不進屋，結果他感冒(catch a cold)了，咳嗽(cough)不止。

　　許多天過去了。花壇被打濕了，然后溫暖的太陽又照在上面。終于，一個美好的早晨，他看到微小的植物長出來了。

　　日復一日，他看到這些植物長成一條條線(line)，然后這些植物線條構成(form)一些字母。他思考著將這些字母拼寫(spell)成單詞，然后翻譯(translate)成他自己的語言。終于，他明白了：每天為別人做點好事。?

　　五十六. TV's Value

　　Many people who are alive today know what it is like to live in a world without television. Television is only about forty years old. Yet it has been an important part inour lives.

　　Some people think that the years before television were a better time. They believe that families talked more and did more things together. More books were read. People got more outdoor exercise.

　　But others disagree. They say that television is a good tool for education. It tells us what is happening in the world. It provides plenty of fun for us. It helps us understand how people live and work.

　　Although some people describe television as a great teacher, others say television has caused the poor reading and writing skills of our people. Television gets praise for helping us understand the people of the world. But it also has influence on family life.Television tells us the news of the day. But it can also make us lazy by giving only short news instead of telling the whole story.
