Since I came to my new neighbourhood, I have had the pleasure of meeting a few neighbours.They seem to be quite 1 . For Christmas, I thought I would do something nice for each of the neighbours that I know. I sat down and 2 . There were nine neighbours, and I also knew which houses they lived in.
However, I decided to add one more person to my list, the lady I met every morning walking to work as I drove down the street. She always managed a sweet smile and a hearty wave(挥手), but I have no idea which house she lived in. My gift idea was to make small 3 baskets and leave them on each of my neighbour's front porches(门廊) the night of Christmas Eve. I kept the last one for the friendly lady, since I was still not exactly sure where she lived— 4 the house down about where I met her each morning. Finally I decided to put it there. My neighbours really enjoyed the baskets and a couple even came by to 5 me.
This morning on my way to work,I placed my mail in the mailbox and noticed a Thank You card.I opened it and read the 6 which really caught me by surprise.
The card said, “Thank you for those lovely apples and strawberries you left on the porch of Tod.He 7 on January 19, but he never stopped talking about how nice it was that someone remembered him in his time of illness. He really enjoyed it.”
I was very 8 . I had no idea who Tod was or that he had been seriously ill. I had left that nice lady's basket on Tod's porch by accident. I believe that Tod never expected to have that basket. I feel 9 that the nice lady did not get a basket from me this Christmas, but I believe that if she knew what had happened, she would 10 me.
I feel lucky to have helped Tod be more cheerful in his last days. This just makes me further believe that sometimes mistakes in life are beautiful.

eating them. However, British scientists say that the fruit may die out by 2050.
One reason for this is the weather change. Scientists at the University of Exete collected numbers from 27 countries and places that produce 86 percent of the world's bananas. They found that weather change has made growing conditions in 21 of these countries and places better. In the past 60 years,the average yield(平均产量) has reached 1.37 tons of bananas per hectare(每公顷).
However, if temperatures keep rising, this advantage will disappear. India, the world's biggest producer of bananas, will produce fewer bananas. By 2050, the fruit may die out.
Shouldn't bananas grow more easily if it's hotter outside? In fact, the perfect temperature for growing bananas is between 24℃ and 32℃. If the temperature gets too high, they will stop growing.
Diseases are another danger to bananas. Unlike other plants, the bananas we grow come from shoot cuttings(茎段) rather than seeds. This means that all banana plants have the same genotype(基因型),In other words, if a disease is able to kill one plant, it could kill them all.
One serious disease is called Panama. Caused by fungus(真菌) in the soil, it spreads easily. It has spread across South Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Australia. If one banana farm catches the disease,it will take 30 years until it is able to grow bananas again. Have the scientists found a cure for this disease yet? No.
It's hard to(1)_________a tasty banana. Bananas taste good and you can eat them(2)__________washing them.
