阅读下列短文，完成文后题目。

The theme(主题) of this year's Kunming Intennational Expo(博览会) is “Man and nature walking hand in hand into the 21st century”. When the UK was asked to take part it seemed natural to build a garden. Now the British Garden will be a central part when the Expo opens on May 1.

David Patterson, the curator(馆长) of the Garden Department of the Royal Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh is leading the team now putting the finishing touches to the garden. The Royal Botanic were chosen for a very good reason. They have the largest collection of Chinese plants the world outside China.

“Ever since people in Britain started gardening for pleasure they have used Chinese plants,”Patterson told English Comer.“There are probably Chinese flowers in nearly every garden in Britain. This is a good chance to give something back.”

The garden has been carefully designed to mix traditional British skills with the local Chinese environment(环境). David Patterson describes the garden as“formal but gentle”. It contains a raised flower bed, a summer to be a place of quiet serious thinking and quiet enjoyment.

“You could say that we've painted a picture,”said David Patterson.“And we have designed the garden to continue for a long time, so that the people of Kunming will be able enjoy it long after the Expo is over.”
