35、cy and . There are so that we often share them with our neighbors. Although we allow tomato plants to grow in the same place year after year, / we have never had any disease or insect attack problems. We are growing tomatoes at no cost!before改为ago。由下文可知，此处讲述的是过去的事情，“时间段ago”表示“以前”，与一般过去时连用，故将before改为
36、ago。by改为of。with the help of sb.为固定搭配，意为“在某人的帮助下”，故将by改为of。year改为years。these后应用名词的复数形式，故将year改为years。had改为have。时间状语Since then一般与现在完成时连用，故将had改为have。在As后加a。as a result为固定短语，意为“因此；结果”。somewhere改为everywhere。根据上下文可知，他们让圣女果自由地繁殖生长，因此圣女果应该长得到处都是，而不仅仅只在某些地方生长，故将somewhere改为everywhere。taste改为tasty。and前后的并列成分的词性应保持一致，且juicy是形容词，故应用taste的形容词形式tasty，意为“美味的”。much改为many。根据前面的There are及后面的them可知，此处应指代复数可数名词fruits，故将much改为many。删除but或but改为yet。although引导让步状语从句，不与表转折的连词but连用，但可以与yet连用，故此处可将but删除或将其改为yet。wonderfully改为wonderful。tomatoes为名词，应用形容词修饰，故将wonderfully改为wonderful。
