On a cold winter afternoon．Susan was walking home from a supermarket．She was feeling a little tired，as she was carrying her shopping bags．They were so heavy that she decided to have a rest in the park．She walked towards the gate of the park．She noticed a poor man walking out of a restaurant in front of her．The man was holding a paper bag．He walked to a rubbish bin（箱）and started looking through it．

Susan suddenly felt sad．She knew this man would take all that he could get，so she went up to him and gave him some fruit．The man looked up in surprise and took what she gave him．

A big smile appeared on his face and she felt very happy．Then he said，"Wow! First someone gave me this sandwich，then the orange juice，and now some delicious fruit．This is my daughter's lucky day．Thank you，girl．"Then he went away，singing a song．

Just then，Susan understood what the saying "Giving is getting" really meant．Everyone in the world needs help; everyone can offer help and everyone will be helped by showing kindness．

Giving sometimes doesn't cost much，but it means a lot to the people who you help．The man's happiness at that moment comes into Susan's mind every time she has the chance to help others．

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                  .
