Doughnuts were once just fried, round cakes. The first doughnuts with holes were probably made in the United States.
People in Rockport, Maine, give the credit to a sea captain from their area. The captain was eating a fried cake at sea one stormy night. When he needed both hands to steer, he rammed the cake over a spoke of the ship's helm. He liked the result. He asked the cook to start making cakes with holes already in them.
In Plymouth, Massachusetts, people tell a different story. One day a local pioneer woman was frying cakes. As she dropped one into the hot fat, a stray arrow shot by a hunter pierced its center. This, they say, was the first holed doughnut.

B
Grandfather and 3-year-old boys are natural buddies. On this particular day in May, the grandfather was pleased to have the company of his best little pal when planting the vegetable garden. For a while, the boy seemed to like it too. His small fingers were just the right size to pick up tiny seeds and drop them into Granddad-made holes. They were a great team.
But before long the boy became restless and directed his anger at the seeds themselves.
“What’s this one, Granddad?”
“Beets (甜菜).”
“Ugh, I hate beets.”
“Well, then, let’s do the pumpkin instead.”
“Yuck. I really hate pumpkin instead.”
“Okay, buddy. What would you like to plant?”
“How about ... doughnuts (油炸圈饼)?”
Just in time, the grandfather stopped himself from saying there was no such thing as a doughnut seed. Looking at the unhappy little face, he suddenly got an inspiration.
“Wait a second. I have to go inside and get the right seeds.”
Granddad returned with a handful of seeds. He and the small boy carefully planted them in a special corner of the vegetable garden.
Weeks later, when the real seeds began to break through the soil, the boy became delighted with the tiny seedlings. He spent many afternoons helping Granddad water and hoe and watch them grow. And when the first baby vegetables were harvested, he liked them after all.
For weeks, he forgot all about the doughnuts. But then one day at lunch, he said, “Granddad, what happened to our doughnuts? How come they didn’t grow?”
Granddad paused a moment. “Well, you know, doughnuts are tricky. Some years when you plant them, you get lots of doughnuts.” He sighed sadly. “But other years, all that comes up are the holes.”
60.The word “buddies” in the first sentence probably means_________.
A.the old and the young B.gardeners or farmers
C.friends or partners D.teammates or classmates
61.From the first half of the passage we can learn that the boy_________.
A.doesn’t like vegetables B. hates planting anything
C.doesn’t like playing with his granddad
D.hates planting vegetables because of his small hands
62.The boy became interested in the vegetables later because_________.
A.he liked them from the very beginning
B.those vegetables were the kinds he liked
C.his granddad advised him to do so
D.they were the fruits of his own labour
