(B)
One day,my friend Mare ya called.“ Nora,I will travel to Hawaii.There'll be beaches,
sandcastles...." she said.Her words made me have a strange feeling.I was happy for her but
envied(嫉妒)her a little.“ Oh,well,” I thought.“ I will have a hiking trip with Olivia.That's
also very interesting."
Later that day,I learnt Olivia would visit her uncle's new beach house.So we had to put
off our hiking trip.“ I'm really sorry.But you understand,right?" she said.“ Oh,sure,” I said.
I tried to push the corners of my mouth into a smile,but inside,my heart was broken.
At that time,I saw Mrs Daisy in her garden.I offered to help her water the flowers in the
hope of taking my mind off unhappy feelings.Watering the flowers made me feel good but I
still couldn't stop wishing I could also be on holiday with my friends.
“ Be careful !" Mrs Daisy said.“ That is a harmful plant.I'll get it out of
here.” Suddenly,I realized what I was watering.Mrs Daisy was aware of my
bad mood(情绪),smiled at me and said,“ Dear Nora,plants or feelings,
we should watch what we're watering,right?If we
nourish the harmful

plants or bad feelings,then that's what we have.But if we try to nourish the
beautiful flowers or good feelings,then that's what we get."" I guess that
makes sense,” I said,“ but I fail to tell my mind to stop being sad."“ Just let
yourself feel all of your feelings,” she said,“ but after a while,you can try feeding your mind
with happier thoughts.Talk to a friend,go for a run or just enjoy the beauty of a flower.”
I thought Mrs Daisy's advice was worth trying.So I call led Olivia.After sharing my
feelings with her,I cheered up and we both agreed to have our hiking trip after she returned.
