2013年6月英语四级真题听力短文原文及重点词汇翻译

Farmington, Utah, is a more pleasant community since a local girls’ 4-H club improved Main Street. Six 4-H girls worked to clean a 72-foot curbside that was covered with weeds, rocks and trash. Each member volunteered to clean up and to dig in plot, five flats of flowers. They also took turns in watering, weeding and maintaining the plot.

Participation in this project helped the girls develop a new attitude towards the appearance of their own homes; they’ve learned how to work with tools, and improve their work habits.
