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
over 78 million
解析
根据文中第一段第五句话“A new study says more than 78 million Americans are gardeners.”可知,超过七千八百万美国人是园丁。又因为空缺处所填单词不能超过三个,所以用over代替more than,故本空填“over 78 million”。
