The Secret of the School Garden
It is autumn（n.秋天） now. The air has a little air pollution（n.空气污染）, but it’s still nice. I put my watch（n.手表） on my wrist（n.手腕）, check the clock（n.时钟） on my desk, and wear my favorite blouse（n.女衬衫）. I eat a quick lunch（n.午餐）—later I can have more food（n.食物） at the school dining hall（n.学校食堂）—and run to school.
At school, my friend（n.朋友） Amy stops me. She has a secret（n.秘密）: she found a small note in theEnglish corner（n.英语角）. It has a question（n.问题）, but no name（n.名字） or address（n.地址）. We talk（v.谈话；n.讲座）about it and make a plan（n.计划） to find the reason（n.原因）. Our classmate（n.同学） Leo joins us—he has a lot of knowledge（n.知识） about the school.
After class（n.班级；课）, we go to the school garden. There is a fence（n.栅栏） around it, and a small plant（n.植物） near the gate. We look for clues, and Leo finds a list（n.清单） under the plant. It has some words: “fable（n.寓言）, science notes（n.科学笔记）, promise（n.承诺）”. We think it’s a game（n.比赛；游戏）!
In the afternoon, we have a break（n.休息） from class. We take our math homework（n.数学作业） and sit on the sofa（n.沙发） in the garden. We talk（v.谈话；n.讲座）about the fable（n.寓言）in our science notes（n.科学笔记）, and suddenly find a postcard（n.明信片）under the sofa. It has a greeting（n.问候） and a point（n.点；要点）: “the answer is in the evening（n.晚上）game（n.比赛；游戏）”.
That evening（n.晚上）, there is a small competition（n.竞争） in the school. We join it, and the first task is to talk（v.谈话；n.讲座） about happiness（n.幸福）. I say happiness（n.幸福） is not about money（n.钱）, but about good friends（n.朋友） and small surprises（n.惊喜）. We get a high point（n.点；要点）, and the result（n.结果） is great—we win!
After the game（n.比赛；游戏）, our teacher comes to us. She says she made the secret（n.秘密） game（n.比赛；游戏） to test our patience（n.耐心） and courage（n.勇气）. She gives us a small gift, and makes a promise（n.承诺） to play it again next term（n.学期）. I feel so happy—this experience（n.经验；经历） is my sweet secret（n.秘密）. Time（n.时间；次数；倍数） goes fast, but I will never forget this day with my friends（n.朋友）.
