One summer evening as I was caking dinner, there was a knock at the door. I 　41 it and saw a truly bad-looking man. But his voice was 　42 as he said. "Good evening. I come to see if you have a 　43 for just one night. I came for a treatment this morning from eastern shore, and there's no bus till next morning." He told me he had been hunting (寻找) but with no 　44 . 1 told him we would find him a bed, but to rest on the porch (门廊). I went inside and prepared (准备) dinner. When we were ready, I asked him if he would like to 　45 us. "No, thank you. I have plenty." When I had 　46 the dinner, I went out to talk with him. It didn't take a long time to see that this old man had oversize (过大的) heart crowded that tiny body. He told me he fished for a living to 　47 his daughter, her five children, and her husband, who was hopelessly disabled from a back injury. At bedtime, we 48 a bed in the children's room for him. On his next trip, as a gift, be brought a big fish and some fresh oysters (牡蛎) I had never seen. In the years he came to 　49 overnight with us, and there was never a time he did not bring us some fish or vegetables from his garden.

I have a neighbor we call “Happy”. I have never seen her angry at anything and never heard her say a harsh word to anyone or about anyone.
Happy and her husband Ben, 70, have a huge garden. They spent many happy hours together working on it. Most of the neighbors watched interestingly as Ben doubled the size of their garden. As the cost of food climbed faster than Ben’s beans, we all wished we also had such a large garden. As the rest of us spent our dollars at the market, Happy could be seen picking beans in her back yard.
Last month, Happy and Ben invited most of the neighborhood over for an “all-day food festival”. We were told to bring gloves and arrive very early in the morning. We didn’t know what was about to take place.
By 9:00 am, there were nine of us in the garden picking tomatoes, beans, okra, and squash. By 10:00 am, there was lots of laughter. We shared a lot of stories. By five o’clock, everyone was a little drunk from the wine and beer. After dinner, we played games. As we were leaving, Happy and Ben handed each of us a shopping bag filled with the bounty of the day, already packaged and frozen. What a delightful gift!
Well, the point wasn’t so much about the food. The true gift was a day of friends enjoying one another’s company. None of it would have happened if it had been for Happy and Ben’s garden. Now they have a blog about gardening in case we decided to plant a garden. And I am so proud of my tomato plants!
【小题1】According to paragraph 2, people wished they also had a garden so that                  .
