26、to start packing, . He had taken all plants from the container and laid out neatly on the floor, only two plants. He had then put into it his own foods what he had found in the house. 解析 本文讲述的是过去的事情；just常与完成时连用， 故用过去完成时。 解析 while doing sth是现在分词作时间状语。 解析 根据下文中的all plants可知， 此处plant用复数形式。 解析 surprisin
