36.F 文章前面说Have you ever visited a garden that seemed just right for you,where the atmosphere of the garden appeared to total more than the sum(总和) of its parts?你是否去过让你感觉不错的花园?那的感觉让人觉得超越了园子本身;后面说到It starts with looking inside yourself and understanding who you are with respect to the natural world and how you approach the gardening process.园艺不是心血来潮,而是一个人内心中对自然的敬畏.故选F.
37.A 根据本段最后一句However,there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden.One of them comes from our earliest years."然而,有很多能解释你为什么想做园艺的原因"可知我们首先要搞清楚为什么要做园艺,故选A.

39.C 根据前句Grandma's rose garden and Dad's vegetable garden might be good or bad,but that's not what's important."…那些都不重要"可知这里强调的是在园艺中对我们来说真正重要的是什么.故选C.
40.G 前面说start by taking some time to recall the gardens of your youth.如果我们自己建一个花园,就可以回忆一下年轻的岁月.后面说translate your childhood memories into your grown-up garden.儿时的记忆变成了一座长大成人后的园子.可知说的是园艺和记忆的关系,故选G.
