A

(2016·湖北黄冈高二上期末)It's not often a tomato that is described as so sweet “whenever people see it they just want to hug”—but this was no ordinary piece of fruit.

The heart­shaped tomato was grown by the retired worker，Rod Matless, who said he was surprised when he noticed it in his field. Mr. Matless, 69, who had a heart attack a few years ago, was so taken_aback_by the fruit that he decided to sell it and donate the money to the British Heart Foundation. The 64g tomato was bought for D|S16 on eBay by woman from Wales—who said she planned to give it to someone special.

Mr. Matless, of Wymondham, near Norwich, said: “I spent a couple of days thinking about what to do with it and I wasn't really sure, but this seems like a good use. I hope it will do someone somewhere a bit of good.”He added：“It's very sweet—whenever people see it they just want to hug it.”But with the tomato's freshness a key factor, Mr. Matless was up against the clock to send it to its new owner before it went bad. He said: “I didn't want to send someone something horrible.

I probably could have raised a bit more money with more time but I was worried about it.”

“It will certainly make a nice present for a loved one. I hope that they like it and I'm glad I got to help. It's all been very good fun and I've really enjoyed growing this very special tomato.”

Young women who take part in beauty contests (比赛) are helping to keep alive an outdated opinion of women that a woman's most important value is how she looks.
