Bundanoon, a town in Australia, has d    76    to ban (禁止) the sale of bottled water because of the influence on the     77    .（环境） It may become the first town in the world to have such a ban.

The ban was     78    (提议) by Huw Kingston, a businessman in Bundanoon. He made the advice on decreasing（减少）the use of bottled water after a company took water from a local well to produce bottled water.

The local government doesn’t    79    （允许） sellers to sell bottled water in shops in Bundanoon any more. I    80    , it wants to put filtered water fountains (过滤饮水机) on Bundanoon’s main streets. Visitors to the town will be told that they’d b    81     not drink bottled water, though they aren’t banned from doing it.

Mr Dee who supports the ban said, “The bottled water company tries its b  82     to make people believe that bottled water is better than the water they drink out of the tap (水龙头), but we don’t need it because we have the best tap water in the world. I’m sure that it’s possible that our ban will reach o    83    places of Australia. Our purpose is to make other local governments give up the use of bottled water. We’re s     84     lots of money on the campaign in Australia. It is worth doing so.”

As he wishes, other cities around the country have also taken steps which are    85

For as long as I can remember, Grandma’s plentiful tomato garden has been a sign of summer’s end. Each September, just as the decreased heat of the sun suggests cooler days, Grandma requests (ask for something) my help in her tomato garden. I’m sure that she cannot pick tomatoes without my youthful eyes and quick mind. She says we need to examine each tomato and agree on its readiness for picking. While Grandma’s request for my help in the tomato garden is always the same, her desire for my help seems to increase each year.
　　Grandma has eyes for finding even the tomatoes hidden by undergrowth and other tomatoes. I, however, just turn circles looking for the ones I think Grandma will like. I spot what looks like a ripe（成熟的）tomato, head in its direction, and then get sidetracked by another that appears to be equally ripe. I usually end up watching Grandma and trying to stay out of her way, which seems the only way my eyes and mind are useful.
　　There we are, lost in the tomato vines（藤）. Grandma’s eyes are always knowing, and they are no different in the vegetable garden. From afar she spots (notice) what looks like a ripe tomato. As she walks toward the garden, she evaluates the tomato for a second time, but from a different angle. I already know it will end up in the basket with the pile of others Grandma has carefully chosen. However, Grandma acts as if she needs a final look to be sure. She calls me to her side, kneels beside the vine while enjoying the warmth of the fading sunlight on her face, and grasps the tomato in her hand. She turns each round, red ball toward the sunlight before disconnecting it from the vine with a half-hearted smile.
　　She then looks at me. I nod my head and smile. Grandma assumes I smile in agreement with her tomato selection. I know I smile, instead, at her.
