Ⅲ. Read the passage and choose the best answers.
Hello, this is your gardening adviser.
Now, just as our gardens are at their most colourful, and most productive time, what do we do? We'll go off on holiday. What I suggest you do is this: invite a friend or neighbour to help you. You can ask him to water the plants in the greenhouse until you return, but first make sure that he knows how to do it. What he should not do is throw water over the leaves of the plants, because if he does that, it will invite diseases. Also for the same reason, ask him if he can possibly water in the morning, rather than in the evening.
If you haven't got a greenhouse, there is one safe and easy way to keep the plants well when you are away, and this is how you do it. Place six-inch-deep newspapers in the bottom of the bath. Yes, the bath! Turn the tap on and keep the water running until the papers are all wet. Now put the flower pots(花盆) to stand on the wet paper, go off on holiday, and they should be alive and well when you return in two weeks' time.
Thank you for calling. Goodbye and good gardening!
