As I work in theLarkwhistle Garden in Dyer's Bay, Ontario, I take my time and the garden is teaching me about
working with the earth. I recognize that there will be both successes and failures and there are many variables(变量)that affect them both.
The quality of the seeds planted has a bearing on how the plants will grow. The weather can be too hot, too
cold, or exactly right, and usually varies between all three. Weeds seem to grow in the garden and need to be
taken care of, pulled, and removed to ensure they do not eat into the fruits, vegetables, and flowers we have so
lovingly planted.
I take time to stand back and rest, and to observe the plants and how they are growing. Each plant is unique
and develops in the way that is best for them. Some have large broad leaves to shadow their fruit from the severe
rays of the sun, while other plants are more open, their fruit needing the light to grow and ripen.
Getting my hands dirty, feeling the sweat on my forehead, and the strength and flexibility of my body as I dig,
bend and work under the warm summer sun, reminds me I am alive in ways I would not have remembered sitting
on the couch.
It is attractive to move things around, to transplant, and to disturb the natural order of how plants grow. The
garden teaches me that it is important to know when to disturb things and when to let them be. The garden's life
cycle follows a pattern that is repeated according to laws of nature, birth, growth, and then dies and it teaches us to accept this fact.

5. What can we learn about the author?
A. He feels exhausted while gardening.
B. He enjoys life from working practice.

6. How is the garden tended by the author?
A. Its rank grass is got rid of.
B. Its plants are left to grow freely.
C. Its temperature is controlled properly.
D. Its plants with large broad leaves are cut off.
7. What fact does the author learn from gardening?
A. Life takes its course. B. Hard work benefits health.
