Most British people prefer to live in a house rather than a flat and one of the reasons is that houses usually have gardens. The garden is a place where people can be outside and yet private.
If a house has a front and back garden, the front is likely to be formal(正規(guī)的) and decorative(裝飾性的), with a lawn (an area of grass) or fancy flower borders. The back garden usually also has a lawn and flower beds, and sometimes a vegetable plot(菜地) fruit trees. There’s often a bird table, on which food is put for birds, and a small simple house in which garden tools are kept.
Many British people spend quite a lot of money on their gardens and even the smallest may contain different kinds of flowers and plants. For them gardening is a hobby and they take pride in their gardens. Some towns and villages have competitions for the best-kept small garden. People with a small garden, or no garden at all, can rent a piece of land, on which most grow vegetables.
There are garden centers near most towns, selling everything a gardener might need, from flower pots to fish ponds as well as many types of plants.
The British interest in gardening affects the appearance of whole towns. Public parks and some roads often have bright displays of flowers in summer and public buildings have windows boxes(窗口花壇) and hanging baskets. Towns and villages enter for the Britain in Bloom competition every year.
【小題1】 According to paragraph 2, a back garden _________.

A．is also formal
B．has flower beds
C．doesn’t have a lawn
D．has beautiful flower borders
【小題2】What do we know about garden centers?
A．They are in the centre of the town.
B．Each town has a garden center.
C．Gardeners can buy tools there.
D．They have gardens for rent.
【小題3】From the last paragraph we know that _________.
A．gardening improves the appearance of British towns
B．British parks are full of flowers all year round
C．the British interest in gardening is decreasing
D．Britain in Bloom is a worldwide competition

Alan took an early interest in gardening---first on his grandfather’s Yorkshire allotment in Ilkley, and then in his parents’ back garden. Small polythene（聚乙烯）greenhouses appeared in the back garden, and cacti（仙人掌）were bought from church markets.
Alan left school at fifteen with one `O’ level in Art and took a job as an apprentice（學(xué)徒）gardener in Ilkley Parks Department nursery, studying for his City and Guilds in Horticulture（園藝）in the evening.
He went on to horticultural college at Oaklands in Hertfordshire where he studied for one year full-time, being awarded the National Certificate in Horticultural. This was followed by three years at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, resulting in the award of the Kew Diploma.
