The market，which was founded in 1979，sets up its tents every Saturday from 7 am. to 1 pm.，rain or shine，along North Lemon and State streets.Baskets of perfect red strawberries；the redpainted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all，the tomatoes: amazing，large，soft and round red tomatoes.,Disappointed by many a broken，vineripened(蔓上成熟的) promise，Ive refused to buy winter tomatoes for years.No matter how attractive they look in the store，once I get them home theyre unfailingly dry，hard，and tasteless.But I homed in，with uncertainty，on one particular table at the Browns Grove Farms stand，full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist.These were the real dealand at that moment，I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldnt be experiencing again for months.,Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight，my happiness deepened when I learned that Browns Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty，a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton，whereluckily for meI was planning to have dinner that very night.Without even seeing the menu，I knew Id be ordering every tomato on it.,立意与点拨：本文是记叙文。讲的是作者在冬天离开寒冷的纽约到佛罗里达州的萨拉索塔的经历。那里气候宜人，水果蔬菜新鲜美味。对第一段第一句的正确理解有助于理解全文。根据第三段最后一句可知，The freezing Northeast指的就是New York，由此可推断出第1题的答案。第三段主要讲述了在冬天，寒冷的纽约的西红柿和温暖的萨拉索塔的西红柿口味大不相同。根据第二句可知，纽约的西红柿只是看起来诱人，实际上又干又硬，没有味道。,1What did the author think of her winter life in New York?
