五、完形填空。〔人与社会——和谐家庭〕
Luke's father doesn't raise any cows，pigs or horses on his farm. There is wheat，beans，pears and tomatoes around his house.
Luke doesn't mind(介意)that there are no 1. In fact，he likes living on a fruit - and - vegetable farm much better. He feels it's amazing that his dad is able to make something in the place where there was 2.
“I'm planting 3 today，”Luke's father said. “They grow best in hot summer heat，4 I need to plant them early in spring. That way there will be tall，healthy tomato vines(藤)when 5 arrives.”
“How do you 6 they grow tall and healthy?”Luke asked.
“The vines grow strong when you give them care and attention(注意)and have a little bit of hope，”his father laughed.
“Can I help?”Luke begged.
“Of course!”said his father.
So when Luke was 7，he helped his father. Luke learned that a tomato plant does need much 8. He spent one whole day in the early June sun，hitting wooden sticks(木棍)into the ground by young tomato plants. After the tomato vines grew a little taller，Luke tied(绑)the tomato vines to the 9 so that they would not fall over.
“The tomatoes 10 need a lot of attention!”Luke said one late afternoon.
“Most 11 things do need a lot of attention，Luke，”replied his father with a smile.
“What do you mean?”asked Luke.
“Well，”his father said，“we should pay close attention to things that make our lives better.”
“That is 12 you pay attention to Mum?”asked Luke.
“Yes，”replied his father. “I pay close attention to you and your mum because you both make my 13 better.”
The rest of Luke's work that day went 14 a lot quicker.
Luke thinks taking care of the tomato plants is just like taking care of his mum and dad. With a bit of 15 magic(魔法)and a lot of attention，Luke is sure these will be the most beautiful tomatoes he has ever seen when August arrives.
