阅读下面短文,根据短文内容完成句子。

A long time before I was born, my grandma and grandpa moved into the house on Beechwood Avenue. They had a young family of 4 little girls.

During that time, work was hard to find, so Grandpa did whatever jobs he could. He worked on a farm during the week and on weekend he and Grandma grew some of their own food in the garden.

Everybody worked to keep the garden growing. All summer long, the family ate food from the garden and enjoyed the beautiful flowers. Grandma made jam(果酱) with strawberries, tomatoes, pears and peaches. It was good to eat through the long winter.

The family grew up, and before too many years had passed, the grandchildren came to visit. Grandma and Grandpa still planted their garden every spring. Everyone still enjoyed the good food from the garden and always took some home.

Grandchildren grew up, and grandparents grew older. It became harder for Grandma and Grandpa to keep up the garden. So they made it a little smaller. There was still plenty to eat from the garden and lovely flowers to enjoy.

Then one summer when Grandpa was eighty-nine years old, all he could do was to watch from his chair as the vegetables grew and the roses came out. Summer slowly went away, and Grandpa died before it was time to bring in the harvest(丰收).

1.There were________ people in grandparents family a long time before the writer was born.

2.The life then was very________.

3.Grandchildren took their grandparents’ vegetables home because________.

4.As time passed by, grandparents made the garden smaller because________.
