Turning soil, pulling weeds （杂草）, and harvesting tomatoes sound like hard work for students．At first it was, says Mr．Wang．Mr．Wang started a school garden program three years ago．The program helps students develop science skills, sense of nature, and healthy lifestyles.

六、阅读短文，回答问题 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

Many years ago, I bought a house in Sunshine Town, and we still go there every summer．The first time we stayed there, our neighbour Mary came and brought us a box with some tomatoes and a bottle of wine （葡萄酒） in it．It was nice of her to do it．But when we looked at the tomatoes, we were worried because they looked terrible: not at all like the nice, round, shiny things you get in a supermarket．And the wine was cloudy, in a funny old bottle with no label （标签） on it．These couldn’t be any good, we thought．But we were thankful for her kindness, so we tried them.

What a wonderful taste! Those tomatoes made me think of the ones my uncle grew when I was a child．Nowadays supermarket tomatoes look perfect but they have a taste of water．Nobody’s going to have a happy memory of those．Mary’s wine may be cloudy and come out of an old bottle, but it was perfect.

It’s good to eat things at the correct time, when they’re in season, and as close as possible to where they were grown．What Mary gives us is the taste of Sunshine Town.
