Americans enjoy many activities.When they are at home they enjoy reading, watching television, creating art objects, playing computer games and so on.The most popular activity, however, is done outside.For the past 15 years, gardening has been the most popular outdoor activity in America.A new study says more than 78 million Americans are gardeners.This is more than 40 percent of the grown up population.And during the growing season an average gardener spends 3 or 4 hours a week working in the garden digging, cutting, planting and watering.They also spend a lot of money on their gardens.
Most Americans grow more than flowers in their gardens.They grow fruits, vegetables, herbs and even food crops.
Not everyone in the United States owns land for a garden.Yet gardening is a popular activity for them, too.They may also grow flowers in containers on a balcony high above the street or grow herbs in little boxes in a window.They may also join a community garden.Usually, the local government owns the land where the community garden is planted.It could be next to apartment buildings or in a park.The land is divided into small gardens.In this way, more people get the chance to grow things, even if they do not own land of their own.
Why are more and more Americans becoming fond of gardening? Most people do it for fun.Gardening makes their home more beautiful and makes them feel closer to nature.Gardening is also a good way to get exercise and working outside in the fresh air and sunshine can reduce stress.To some people, gardening is a spiritual activity.You plant seeds in the ground and water them.They grow into flowers and most of them die in autumn.But some will come back again the next spring, and every year after that.
选项
答案
reducing stress
解析
由“Good way to exercise”可定位至文章第四段第四句话“Gardening is also a good way to get exereise and working outside in the fresh air and sunshine can reduce sres.”即“种植是一种很好的锻炼方式,在户外的新鲜空气中和阳光下工作可以(帮助人们)减少压力。”因此种植的第二个原因是它是一种很好的锻炼方式,帮助人们减少压力。参赛者应注意空缺处所填短语形式应和前面“making home more beautiful” “making people feel”以及后面“showing life cycle”保持一致,即为动名词短语,故本空填“reducing stress”。
