never seen her angry at anything and never heard her say a harsh(苛刻的) word to anyone or about anyone.Happy and her husband Ben,70,have a huge garden.They spent many happy hours together working on it.Most of the neighbours watched interestingly as Ben doubled the size of their garden.As the cost of food climbed faster than Bens beans,we all wished we also had such a large garden.As the rest of us spent our dollars at the market,Happy could be seen picking beans in her backyard.Last month,Happy and Ben invited most of the neighbourhood over for an “all-day food fest”.We were told to bring gloves and arrive very early in the morning.We didnt know what was about to take place.By 9:00 am,there were nine of us in the garden picking tomatoes,beans,okra and squash.By 10:00 am,there was lots of laughter.We shared a lot of stories.By five oclock,everyone was a little drunk from the wine and beer.After dinner,we played games.As we were leaving,Happy and Ben handed each of us a shopping bag filled with the bounty(收成) of the day,already packaged and frozen.What a delightful gift!Well,the point wasnt so much about the food.The true gift was a day of friends enjoying one anothers company.None of it would have happened if it had not been for Happy and Bens garden.Now they have a blog about gardening in case we decide to plant a garden.And I am so proud of my tomato plants!1.We

foodB.they could grow vegetables and sell them at the marketC.they could invite their neighbours and hold parties in itD.they could spend happy time together with their family in

other.C.To let them enjoy what they grew in the garden.D.To ask them to share some interesting stories.答案C细节理解题。根据第三段的“an all-day food fest”以及让他们在园子里摘果蔬的语境可知,是请他们去品尝新鲜果蔬的,故选C项。4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.The writer used to have a big garden.B.The writer didnt like the food he received.C.The writer has also started to grow vegetables.D.It was the first time for the writer to stay with so many people.答案C推理判断题。根据末段的“And I am so proud of my tomato plants!”可知,作者现在也开始种植蔬菜了。.七选五Four Practical Ways to Improve YourselfAre you someone who likes to grow?Do you constantly seek to improve
