Since she was a gardenbeginner, Mertie researched exactly how far apart to space her tomato plants。 what kind of fertilizer to use。 how to keep away the bugs, etc. Once they were planted, she took care of them daily, anxiously awaiting the juicy tomatoes to appear. But, day after day, her plants were tomatoless while all of her neighbors who had also put out tomato plants were already enjoying the fruit of their labor. Frustrated, Mertie gave in and went to the market to search fresh tomatoes. While paying, Mertie told the farmer her troubles. The farmer paused to think for a moment and then asked, Well, what kind of tomatoes did you plant? I think they were called Big Boy, Mertie remembered. Well there39。s your problem, the farmer explained. Big Boy and Better Boy tomatoes have a 95day growing period whereas regular tomato plants produce fruit in as few as 70 days…you just have to wait a little longer for the Big Boys. With that new knowledge, Mertie went home with excitement, knowing they would be worth the wait. Thinking about my sister39。s gardening experience, I had to smile. She just didn39。t know that Big Boy tomatoes took longerneither did I — but once she discovered that information, she was no longer discouraged and upset about the lack of tomatoes on her plants. Instead, she was encouraged and excited to see them a few weeks later. It makes me wonder how many of us have Big Boy dreams in our hearts, yet we just don39。t realize that they are of the Big Boy variety so we are discouraged and worn out with the waiting process. Instead of waiting with excitement, we give up on our dreams and figure we must have done something wrong to stop them from ing to pass. Frustrated, we see other people39。s dreams ing true, and we wonder why ours haven39。t yet been achieved.（1）What is not mentioned in the passage when growing tomato plants?

Free, and impersonal, the trains run back and forth all day long. Not many people consider them fun, but on this Saturday I heard laughter. At the front of the first car – looking out the window at the track that lay ahead – were a man and his son. We had just stopped to let off passengers, and the doors were closing again. Here we go! Hold on to me tight! the father said. The boy, about five years old, made sounds of sheer delight. I know we39。re supposed to avoid making racial distinctions(種族歧視) these days, so I hope no one will mind if I mention that most people on the train were white, dressed for business trips or vacations. As I got off, I remembered something I39。d wanted to buy in the terminal. I was early for my flight, so I decided to go back. I did – and just as I was about to reboard the train for my gate, I saw that the man and his son had returned too. I realized then that they hadn39。t been heading for a flight, but had just been riding the shuttle. I want to ride some more! More? the father said, mockexasperated(嗔怪模仿) but clearly pleased. You39。re not tired? This is fun! his son said. All right, the father replied, and when a door opened we all got on. There are parents who can afford to send their children to Europe or Disneyland, but the children turn out rotten. There are parents who
