[课时作业] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A The man needn't run to the supermarket to stock goods­thanks to his tiny urban garden which has kept him in fruit and vegetables for nine months.This green­thumbed Italian who moved to London six years ago has grown so many vegetables during lockdown that he hasn't been to the grocery store for any in nine months. 29­year­old artist Alessandro Vitale has grown chilli (辣椒) on his windowsill for years, so he was delighted when he moved into an apartment with a shared garden last year.He set to work transforming half the 8×5m garden area into a growing place, created a wall for vegetables out of recycled water bottles, and made planters and a greenhouse. In his first harvest this year, Alessandro managed to produce 30 different kinds of vegetables, including cabbage, carrot, garlic, fennel, leeks, cauliflower, and broccoli.Alessandro got 35kg of tomatoes from just six plants, and he picked 10kg of 17 different types of chilli.Alessandro's crops are 100% organic: He uses wild nettles (荨麻) from a park for pest control, and the fallen leaves to make fertilizer. Alessandro said, “When I was a kid I was fond of helping my grandpa out in the garden.I remember he would import chilli seeds from all over the world and he would have tons of plants.” Though Alessandro works full­time 45 hours weekly, as soon as he's home he spends a couple of hours tending to the garden.“My favorite thing is to make jam and sauces from the chilli，” he says.He now runs his own YouTube channel Spicy Moustache, sharing urban gardening tips and encouraging others to create urban green spaces.
