5 . Every year, the biggest and the best garden designers get together to create the Chelsea Flower Show, providing inspiration, trendsetting ideas and a glimpse of how our gardens might look next year.

On Trend: Green garden

Sustainable gardens have become a big trend in our towns and cities. Joe Swift inspired gardeners with his gold-winning design for the Homebase Teenage Cancer Trust that featured drought-buster (治理) architectural planting.

It could cope with even the driest conditions typically found in places where water is precious. His large pools of water had a cooling effect on people and plants.

On Trend: Space-saving Herbs

The Brewin Dolphin garden designed by Cleve West and Steve Swatton followed the Arts and Craft tradition, showing the beautiful strong lines of neatly beech (山毛榉) among its soft herbs planting. It proved to be a style that has never gone out of fashion.

You don’t need a large garden to have a piece of topiary (树木造型). These evergreens, which can be boxed or grown in pots, are easy to cut into shapes, such as balls, cubes and pyramids.

On Trend: Rhododendrons (杜鹃花) Woodland

Chris Beardshaw’s gold-winning design was packed with rhododendrons woodland bushes. It paid tribute (致敬) to Furzey Gardens in Hampshire, which celebrates its 100th anniversary this year.

Rhododendrons might not be the trendiest choice but they deserve a comeback.

On Trend: Drought Buster

The Herbert Smith garden for WaterAid was inspired by the work of the charity and the transforming power of clean water.

Using water wisely is today’s issue, so invest in water butts (积水桶) to collect rainwater and gather waste water from baths, sinks and washing machines.

9 . Social distancing is hard on everyone, but it’s especially difficult for retirees in senior living communities, where feelings of isolation are a problem even in the best of times. With no way to see each other or visit family members, the residents find it impossible to feel connected.

This year is even worse for them. While many seniors have been forced to wait out during the COVID-19 outbreaks in isolation, these retirees have managed to find connection and comfort through the airwaves (电波).

Radio Recliner is an online radio station that is hosted by elderly DJs from assisted living communities across the United States. The project was launched by marketing firm Luckie back in April as a means of keeping lonely seniors entertained and optimistic during the pandemic (流行病).

The company only planned on airing new 60-minute shows every day for one month, but since the station garnered more and more listeners, Radio Recliner has also attracted a team of 18 senior DJs to continue recording new shows.

In addition to the new shows being aired every day at noon, the station now streams a continuous loop of old content to keep its fan base entertained. On the Radio Recliner website, listeners can also submit song requests and ask the hosts to broadcast audio messages and shout outs to friends and family members.

“For this generation, radio was the original social media,” Luckie chief creative officer Mitch Bennett told The Tennessean. “Offering a song to someone you love, and having them hear it along with everyone else, may be a special way of connecting. It’s a great time to bring that feeling back.”

1. How do the retirees keep in contact during the pandemic?

A．By turning to a special radio station.

B．By playing with their family members.

C．By connecting with their friends online.

D．By talking to their friends on the telephone.
