19、e near. The wild land was overgrown with grey grass that cattle might feed upon. We could not tell _26_ this building was. It appeared _27_ _ it had been built strong to defend from storms; but for what purpose? William called out to us that we should observe that place well, for it was exactly like

20、 one of the shelters of the Alps(阿尔卑斯山), _28_(build) for the reception of travelers, and indeed I had thought it _29_ be so. This building, from its singular structure and appearance, made the place , which is itself in a country _30_ Scotland, remarkable. When we _31_(pass) it and looked back, thre

21、e pyramidal mountains on the opposite side of Lock Lomond ended the view, _32_ in certain kind of weather might be very grand.

26、ing system. As for plants growing in pots or containers, they tend to lose water rapidly. One way to reduce such a risk is _40_(group) the plants close together to keep moisture.
