For a single woman, yards are a strange thing. You don’t know whether to buy a lawn mower(割草机)or hire someone to mow it. I did the latter, over many years.

There was one exception. In my early 30s，I lived in a cottage near my father, who had a tractor. He lived around the corner on an old country lane, now fully developed. But at the time, it was with sweet relief, having just returned from city life, that I drove his borrowed tractor down the lane in the late afternoon, mowed my land, and then drove it back in the evening light, gazing(注视)up at the stars as they came out.

Soon the routine became impossible with traffic in the developing area. I needed someone to do my yard work.

Vardman was a devoted young boy. He sang at the top of his lungs as he mowed. His work was a joy. But Vardman grew up. After his graduation from high school, which I attended, and his leaving for college, I was without.

So here I was with two African men who brought not only knowledge but a deep love of working the land. There was a peace about the work they did. The perfection was noticeable everywhere, with every border in place, the unnecessary brush cleared out. The rhythm in their work, the rhythm of their work—it was poetry to watch.

Later I moved to North Carolina. I found myself in another small house with a beautiful but wasted yard. A strange mountain man gave me a wonderful price and began what has become an exercise in grace, gratitude and being simple.

Over the few years I have lived here, he has slowly, patiently, lovingly turned a long-neglected place into a quiet beauty. Quiet, modest, sincere, he uses only natural products on the lawn and flower beds. After the growing season ends, he collects his final paycheck and disappears into the mountains. A quiet man is teaching me patience and how it brings beauty back.

1.What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A.The development of traffic in the city.

B.The tiredness of mowing down the lanes.

C.The poor living areas in the countryside.

D.The joy of returning home after mowing.

2.How did the writer find Vardman?

A.He devoted himself to the job.

B.He was glad to be a mower forever.

C.He wasted the working time by singing.

D.He earned money for his college education.

3.Why did the writer mention the poetry in the fifth paragraph?

A.To prove the good job of African mowers,

B.To show her love for African poems,

C.To praise the mowers through writing poems.

D.To describe the images of mowers in poems.

4.What did the quiet man teach the writer?

A.Gratitude is a reward for kindness.

B.Money is endless for people to earn.

C.Simple life is worth more paycheck.

D.Beauty comes from working patiently.

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

To give the things you don’t need

When I moved into my new house, there was already a washing machine in it. However, I had just bought a new one, so I wondered what to do with the machine that was already in my house. I remembered two girls who regularly knocked at my door for religious reasons.

They never had or kept anything they didn’t need. If one of them needed something, they would work for the amount of time it took to make the money and then return to their religious work. They had just moved into their own house so I decided to give them all the things I didn’t need in my house. Whatever they didn’t need, they could give to the charity store they helped support.

I asked them if they needed a washing machine and they looked at each other and smiled. It turned out that they had called on a complete stranger the week before, a shingle mother with a new –born baby to take care of. She had been washing clothes by hand. When hey got home they discussed the fact that the woman probably needed their washing machine more than they did so they gave it to her. And their good deed had come back to them as they would be able to have my washing machine.
