At that time, only the very rich in Britain had gardens. Very soon after this, homes with gardens began to be built. This is what started the British love of gardening！Today, millions of Brits like to say that they have “green fingers”, with around half the population spending their free time gardening. For many people in the UK, their garden is their own private world. Each spring, children plant sunflowers and wait to see which one is the tallest.Expert gardeners know just the right corner for roses, and others spend hours trying to grow perfect vegetables to enter into competitions. And while many Brits like nothing better than spending their Sunday cutting the grass, some are happy just to sit under the branches of the trees and enjoy the beauty of the world around them. But in cities, limited space has led to people looking for new solutions. Those without outside space can rent small pieces of land on which to grow things. Today, there are over 4,000 people in London waiting for such pieces of land. One recent idea has been to turn rooftops and walls into private gardens. These gardens have helped make the cities greener and improve air quality. As well as being good for the environment, gardening is also good for the soul. What other free-time activity allows you to be at one with nature and create more beautiful living things And if you’re in any doubt about this, take a moment to reflect on this line from The Secret Garden: “Where you tend a rose... A thistle cannot grow.” 选自《新外研必修Book1Unit6 At one with nature》 1.The Secret Garden 《秘密花园》 2.millions of 成千上万的…，无数的… 3.private adj. 私用的；私营的；个人的；秘密的； 4.competition n. 竞争；比赛；竞争者；竞争产品 5.branch n. 树枝；分支，旁系； 6.lead to 导致 7.rooftop n. 屋顶；屋顶（建筑） 8. be at one with 和…在一起 9. in any doubt about 对...有疑惑 10.line 字行；对白；诗行； 11.thistle 刺；荆棘 INCLUDEPICTURE "F:\\源文件\\北师大版 选择性必修第四册\\靓句背诵.TIF" \* MERGEFORMAT INCLUDEPICTURE "E:\\张春兰\\2021\\同步\\英语 北师大（京闽粤）选择性必修第四册\\靓句背诵.TIF" \* MERGEFORMATINET INCLUDEPICTURE "E:\\张春兰\\2021\\同步\\英语 北师大（京闽粤）选择性必修第四册\\word\\靓句背诵.TIF" \* MERGEFORMATINET INCLUDEPICTURE "E:\\张春兰\\2021\\同步\\英语 北师大（京闽粤）选择性必修第四册\\word\\靓句背诵.TIF" \* MERGEFORMATINET INCLUDEPICTURE "E:\\张春兰\\2021\\同步\\英语 北师大（京闽粤）选择性必修第四册\\word\\靓句背诵.TIF" \* MERGEFORMATINET INCLUDEPICTURE "F:\\米昕\\2021\\同步\\0看PPT\\英语 北师大版 选择性必修第四册 京闽粤（新教材）\\全书完整的Word版文档\\UNIT 10 CONNECTIONS\\靓句背诵.TIF" \* MERGEFORMATINET INCLUDEPICTURE "C:\\Users\\14902\\Desktop\\高中英语讲义北师大版\\高中英语讲义北师大版\\高中英 ... ...
