Moreover,,plants are beautiful,cver-changing home decorations.Unlike static.artworks(静态艺术品)，living plants grow and change with the seasons,bringing natural beauty into city flats. However,beginners often face some problems.Some choose unsuitable plants.For example,many beginners buy sun-loving plants like roses but place them in rooms with poor light.Overwatering is another common problem.New growers may water plants too often because they don't know that most indoor plants prefer drier soil. To help solve the problems,local gardening centers provide free guidance.They teach beginners how to choose the right plants for different light conditions and proper watering skills.With the right knowledge, anyone can achieve success in home gardening.Moreover,many neighborhood communities have started plant exchange programs to share advice with beginners.Some schools have even added plant care into their life skills courses. With these helpful resources,anyone in the city can develop a green thumb and enjoy the journey of growing alongside your plants.Why not begin your own indoor gardening adventure today? 61.How many reasons are mentioned for why indoor gardening has become so popular in the city? 62.What problems do beginners often face in plant-growing? 63..Why is overwatering bad for indoor plants? 64.How do local gardening centers help solve the beginners'problems? 65.How can you try to be a green thumb? 七、书面表达（共1小题，满分15分） 假如你是李华，你校英语报正在举办以“Know Yourself,.Be Yourself'为主题的征文活动。请你根据 以下提示，用英语写一篇短文投稿。 内容提示： （1)描述你的性格特点（至少两点）： (2)这种性格给你带来的优势和一个具体的例子： (3)你将如何发挥自己的性格优势，成为更好的自己。 要求： (1)词数90左右： (2)短文须包含所有提示内容，可适当发挥； (3) 文中不得出现真实姓名和学校名称。 Know Yourself,Be Yourself
