A garden that's just right for you

Have you ever visited a garden that seemed just right for you, where the atmosphere of the garden appeared to total more than the sum (總和) of its parts? 【1】. But it doesn't happen by accident. It starts with looking inside yourself and understanding who you are with respect to the natural world and how you approach the gardening process.

●【2】

Some people may think that a garden is no more than plants, flowers, patterns and masses of color. Others are concerned about using gardening methods that require less water and fewer fertilizers (肥料). 【3】. However, there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden. One of them comes from our earliest years.

●Recall (回憶) your childhood memories

Our model of what a garden should be often goes back to childhood. Grandma's rose garden and Dad's vegetable garden might be good or bad, but that's not what's important. 【4】—how being in those gardens made us feel. If you'd like to build a powerful bond with your garden, start by taking some time to recall the gardens of your youth. 【5】 Then go outside and work out a plan to translate your childhood memories into your grown-up garden. Have fun.

A.Know why you garden

D.It's delightful to see so many beautiful flowers

【解析】

本文介紹了建造一座屬于自己的美麗的花園不但能給我們帶來美好的視覺享受，而且還能讓我們對大自然充滿敬畏之心。很多人認為園藝不過是一些花花草草，澆水施肥而已，實際上，園藝是一段過去生活的記憶。

【1】根據“Have you ever visited a garden that seemed just right for you, where the atmosphere of the garden appeared to total more than the sum (總和) of its parts?”可知，創(chuàng)造適合自己的，有魔力的花園，故選F。

【2】此處是小標題。根據“However，there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden．One of them comes from our earliest years.”可知，表示有很多能解釋你為什么想做園藝的原因，因此我們首先要搞清楚為什么要做園藝，故選A。

【3】根據本段前兩句提出“Some people may think that a garden is no more than plants，flowers，patterns and masses of color．Others are concerned about using gardening methods that require less water and fewer fertilizers（肥料）.”有些人認為花園只是一些花花草草，有些人關心少用水少用肥料�？芍�，本句仍然在說明人們對園藝的不同看法。故選E。

【4】根據前句“Grandma's rose garden and Dad's vegetable garden might be good or bad，but that's not what's important.”……那些都不重要"，可知這里強調的是在園藝中對我們來說真正重要的是什么。故選C。

【5】根據前面說“start by taking some time to recall the gardens of your youth”如果我們自己建一個花園，就可以回憶一下年輕的歲月。后面說“translate your childhood memories into your grown-up garden”兒時的記憶變成了一座長大成人后的園子�？芍�，這里說的是園藝和記憶的關系，故選G。
