Vegetable gardeners agree that many home-grown vegetables picked at the best are better than those vegetables bought from markers. From spring through late fall, a well-planned and well-kept garden can provide a supply of fresh vegetables, thus increasing the nutrition or the family diet. Freezers make it possible to keep some of the vegetables to be enjoyed at a later date. Other vegetables can be stored for a few months in a cool area. Having vegetables in the backyard makes home gardening attractive for many people. Besides, vegetable gardening provides exercise and fun for families. Although the money spent for a garden may be little, one can’t escape the fact that gardening requires hard work and time. Many of the gardening tasks must be performed at times that are most inconvenient. Not doing jobs that should be done on a regular basis may result in failure and a negative（消極的） feeling towards gardening. One should not plant a garden that is too large for him to care for. A small, well-kept garden is more enjoyable and profitable（有益的） than a large one. Vegetables do well in full sunlight and need at least five or six hours of sun during the middle of the day. Too much shading results in poor plants and few vegetables. If possible, the garden should be near the house so the gardener can work in it at irregular moments. Usually the home owner has little choice in the soil type he can choose. Fortunately, many vegetables can be grown on poor soils if the soils are properly prepared. 1. Home-grown vegetables _______. A. can remain standing for a long time and need not be picked immediately B. have to be eaten as soon as they are picked C. sell well in the market because of their good quality D. picked at the right moment are more nutritious than those bought from the market 2. Vegetable gardening is attractive for many people because _____. A. it requires little money B. it is enjoyable and profitable C. they can work in the vegetables garden at irregular moments D. it provides vegetables for the family all the year round 3. The author suggests that an ideal vegetable garden _____. A. should be sunny B. should be within walking distance C. should be large-sized D. should consist of full soil 4. From the passage we can conclude that ______. A. vegetables take little care while growing B. vegetables can be grown in almost any kind of soil C. vegetable gardening is a necessary part of life for people D. vegetables gardening is a good pastime for old people
