　　Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.?

　　Trees should only be pruned when there is a good and clear reason for doing so and ,the number of such reasons is small.Pruning involves the cutting away of overgrown and unwanted branches,and the inexperienced gardener can be

　　are blocking up the centre and so preventing the cet4v.com air. ?
