Let us say there is something you don’t know how to do.

  In the past if you were determined to learn, you might have called a friend or relative, taken a night class or walked down to the local library for a research term.But now a large number of websites(網(wǎng)站)are growing quickly to provide free practical advice on these subjects and actually anything else you can think of.

  In one sense, these “how-to” sites represent(表明)a part of the growing world of online learning.This tradition found one of its earliest forms in the FAQs(Frequently Asked Questions files(檔案)that began on Usenet, the Internet’s global discussion group.These FAQs, many of which still spread, tool a specific subject subject-and explained it to complete novices.

  But “how-to” sites take the FAQ idea in somewhat different forum(論壇).These sites take the style of a written tutorial(輔導(dǎo)課)and a tone of friendly advice.Possibly the biggest and best known of these sites is learn 2.com(www.learn 2.com).It offers neaely 1,000 free tutorials and adds new ones frequently for a job interview.

  At ehow, com(www.ehow.com)you can learn how to train for your marathon, how to buy a vacation home, or how to make a film in eight steps, etc.

The professor’s house, big and untidy, stood alone at one end of a huge garden. The place was totally uncared for, quite  41 and overgrown with all sorts of useless things. I 42 my way through bushes and tall weeds to the front door and rang the bell.

I was glad that I had found him. In twenty minutes he  43 me right on all the  44 that had puzzled me. I was on the  45 of leaving when I looked out of his study window and said, “You’re very fond of gardening,I see.”

“No,I’m not,” he said.“ 46 ,I love this garden,though. It’s  47 I always wanted it to be. I never touch it at all.”

“It could be made lovely. It  48 a pity to let all this ground go to waste. But perhaps you don’t  49 that way?” said I.

“I don’t. I lived here when I was a child,and I had  50 of gardening then. It was my father’s hobby, you see. Unfortunately,he wasn’t  51 enough to do it himself. My brother and I did all of it between us year after year. There was one right way and many wrong ways. Each blade of grass was an enemy to be  52 by hand, not just cut off. I’ve spent a good part of life at work here.”

“I see. You took a dislike to it, and now you’re getting even!”

“I dislike it. Then, of course, I didn’t understand the  53 it had. It used to  54 me. It appeared in my dreams—a mistake here, something not quite straight here, the enemy showing its head in a place I was  55 to have cleaned. The work was too much. It seemed endless. The size of the place was itself a fight to a boy.”

“And now it’s yours,you’re just letting it go to... ”

56 ?” he said. “No,I don’t agree with that. This garden and I are now the best friends. I like 57 it grow 58 its own way. I make no demands on it. I never disturb it, and it never disturbs me. It has 59 at last, and so have I.”

“But the path is over grown. It’s inconvenient for you,isn’t it?”

“That’s part of my  60 ,” he laughed. “You can go out the back way. The weeds are shorter there because they don’t get the sun.”
