Ⅶ.阅读理解
It’s not often a tomato that is described as so sweet “whenever people see it they just want to hug”—but this was no ordinary piece of fruit.
The heart-shaped tomato was grown by the retired worker,Rod Matless,who said he was surprised when he noticed it in his field.Mr.Matless,69,who had a heart attack a few years ago,was so taken aback by the fruit that he decided to sell it and donate the money to the British Heart Foundation.The 64g tomato was bought for $16 on eBay by a woman from Wales—who said she planned to give it to someone special.
Mr.Matless,of Wymondham,near Norwich,said:“I spent a couple of days thinking about what to do with it and I wasn’t really sure,but this seems like a good use.I hope it will do someone somewhere a bit of good.” He added:“It’s very sweet—whenever people see it they just want to hug it.” But with the tomato’s freshness a key factor,Mr.Matless was up against the clock to send it to its new owner before it went bad.He said:“I didn’t want to send someone something horrible.I probably could have raised a bit more money with more time but I was worried about it.”
“It will certainly make a nice present for a loved one.I hope that they like it and I’m glad I got to help.It’s all been very good fun and I’ve really enjoyed growing this very special tomato.”
