6.I have a neighbor we call"Happy".I have never seen her angry at anything and never heard her say a harsh (苛刻) 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 fest".We were told to bring gloves and arrive very early in the morning.We didn't know what was about to take place.
By 9:00am,there were nine of us in the gardenpicking tomatoes,beans,okra,and squash.By 10:00am,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(收成)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!

分析 我有一个邻居,我们称之为"快乐".我从来没有见过她对任何东西生气,从来没有听到她对任何人说苛刻的话.
Happy和她的丈夫Ben,70岁,有一个巨大的花园.他们花了许多快乐时光一起工作.大多数邻居兴致勃勃地看着Ben将他们的花园的大小增加了一倍.因为食物的成本比Ben的豆子爬得快,我们所有人都希望我们也有这样一个大花园.当我们其余的人在市场上花大价钱买东西时,可以看到Happy在她的后院摘豆角.
上个月,Happy和Ben邀请了大部分的邻居来参加"全天的食物节".我们被告知第二天一早要带上手套.我们不知道要干什么.
上午九点,我们九个人在花园里摘了西红柿,豆子,秋葵和南瓜.十点半,那里充满了笑声.我们分享了很多故事.五点钟,每个人都喝了点酒和啤酒.晚饭后,我们玩了游戏.当我们离开,Happy和Ben递给我们每个人一个盛满了我们一天劳动成果的袋子,已经被打包和冻结了.多么令人愉快的礼物啊!
好吧,重点并不是关于食物.真正的礼物是朋友间享受彼此在一起的一天.如果它不是Happy和Ben的花园,就不会发生这一切.他们有一个关于园艺的博客如果我们决定种植一个花园的话.我为我的番茄植物自豪!
