The freezing north

?

east hasn't been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so when the

chance

came

for

a

weekend

to

Sarasota,

Florida,

my

bags

were

packed

before

you

could

say

“sunshine”.

I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C(

维生素

C), thinking of beaches and orange

trees. When we touched down to blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness.

Swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets(at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon)

filled the weekend, but the best part

—

particularly to my taste, dulled by months of cold-

weather

root vegetables

—

was a 7 am adventure to the Sarasota farmers' market that proved to be more than

worth the early wake-

up call.

The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7 am to 1 pm,

rain

or

shine,

along

North

Lemon

and

State

streets.

Baskets

of

perfect

red

strawberries;

the

red-

painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft

and round red tomatoes.

Disappointed

by

many

a

broken,

vine-

ripe ned(

蔓上成熟的

)

promise,

I've

refused

to

buy

winter tomatoes for years. No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home

they're unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless. But I homed in, with uncertainty, on one particular table

at the Brown's Grove Farm's stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These were

the real deal

—

and at that moment, I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be

eating things that back home in New York I wouldn't be experiencing again for months.

Delighted

as

I

was

by

the

tomatoes

in

sight,

my

happiness

deepened

when

I

learned

that

Brown's

Grove

Farm

is

one

of

the

suppliers

for

Jack

Dusty,

a

newly

opened

restaurant

at

the

Sarasota

Ritz

Carlton,

where

—

luckily

for

me

—

I

was

planning

to

have

dinner

that

very

night.

Without even seeing the menu, I knew I'd be ordering every tomato on it.

24. What did the author think of her winter life in New York?

A

．

Exciting.

B

．

Boring.

C

．

Relaxing.

D

．

Annoying.

25. What made the author's getting up early worthwhile?

A

．

Having a swim.

B

．

Breathing in fresh air.

C

．

Walking in the morning sun.

D

．

Visiting a local farmers' market.

26. What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter?

A

．

They are soft.

B

．

They look nice.

C

．

They taste great.

D

．

They are juicy.

27. What was the author going to do that evening?

A

．

Go to a farm.

B

．

Check into a hotel.

C

．

Eat in a restaurant.

D

．

Buy fresh vegetables.
