题目内容
The professor’s house, big and untidy, stood alone at one end of a huge garden. The place was totally uncared for, quite 41 and overgrown with all sorts of useless things. I 42 my way through bushes and tall weeds to the front door and rang the bell.
I was glad that I had found him. In twenty minutes he 43 me right on all the 44 that had puzzled me. I was on the 45 of leaving when I looked out of his study window and said, “You’re very fond of gardening，I see.”
“No，I’m not，” he said.“ 46 ，I love this garden，though. It’s 47 I always wanted it to be. I never touch it at all.”
“It could be made lovely. It 48 a pity to let all this ground go to waste. But perhaps you don’t 49 that way?” said I.
“I don’t. I lived here when I was a child，and I had 50 of gardening then. It was my father’s hobby, you see. Unfortunately，he wasn’t 51 enough to do it himself. My brother and I did all of it between us year after year. There was one right way and many wrong ways. Each blade of grass was an enemy to be 52 by hand, not just cut off. I’ve spent a good part of life at work here.”
“I see. You took a dislike to it, and now you’re getting even！”
“I dislike it. Then, of course, I didn’t understand the 53 it had. It used to 54 me. It appeared in my dreams—a mistake here, something not quite straight here, the enemy showing its head in a place I was 55 to have cleaned. The work was too much. It seemed endless. The size of the place was itself a fight to a boy.”
“And now it’s yours，you’re just letting it go to... ”
“ 56 ?” he said. “No，I don’t agree with that. This garden and I are now the best friends. I like 57 it grow 58 its own way. I make no demands on it. I never disturb it, and it never disturbs me. It has 59 at last, and so have I.”
“But the path is over grown. It’s inconvenient for you，isn’t it?”
“That’s part of my 60 ,” he laughed. “You can go out the back way. The weeds are shorter there because they don’t get the sun.”
