　　[2016·福州八中质检二]Nothing could stop Dad. After he was put on disabilityW1 for a bad back, he bought a small farm in the country,

　　just enough to grow food for the family. He planted vegetables, fruit trees and even kept bees for honey.

　　And every week he cleaned Old Man McColgin's chicken house in exchange for manure (肥料). The smell really burned the inside of your nose. When we complainedW2 about the terrible smell, Dad said the stronger the manure, the healthier the crops，S and he was right. For example, just one of his cantaloupes (哈密瓜、甜瓜) filled the entire house with its sweet smell, and the taste was even sweeter.

　　As the vegetables started coming in, Dad threw himself into cooking. One day, armed with a basket of vegetables, he announcedW3 he was going to make stew (炖菜). Dad pulled out a pressureW4 cooker and filled it up with cabbages, eggplants, potatoes, corns, onions and carrots. For about half an hour, the pressure built and the vegetables cooked. Finally, Dad turned offP1 the stove, the pot began to cool and the pressure relief valve sprayed out a cloud of steam. If we thought Dad's pile of chicken manure was bad, this was 10 times worse. When Dad took offP2 the lid, the smell nearly knocked us out.
