1. growing 每天早上在上学的路上，苏珊都会看到他在花园种植植物。
2. asked 苏珊对此很好奇，所以她询问安德鲁用这些种子来做什么。时态是一般过去时，故此处答案应该填过去式asked。

4. different 根据"People started to grow plants together, share harvests and laugh more."可知，邻居们开始一起种植植物，分享收成，更多地欢笑，说明这些礼物让邻居们变得跟以往有些不同。
5. than 街上的人都比以前快乐多了。
6. sad 根据后文中her husband died a few years ago可知，艾米的丈夫几年前去世了，所以她应该是伤心的、孤独的。
