    Last week, my friend Allan and I were playing catch in my yard. The ball hit my neighbor's window because of my fault. The window broke into many pieces.

We were scared and hid. Mr. Jones, the neighbor, came running out of his house and looked around to see who threw the ball. We didn't come out until Mr. Jones went back into his house. So he had to repair the broken glass with his own money.

Later, my mom and I were talking. She told me about the broken window. “Poor Mr. Jones.” she said. “He's such a nice guy. I can't believe anyone would break his window and not stay around to apologize.”

Right away, I knew what I had to do. I told Mom that I broke the window by accident. Mom said I could easily correct that mistake. She said I should go right over now and admit my mistake. It wasn't easy, knocking on Mr. Jones's door and telling him what I had done.

Mr. Jones looked at me after I explained what happened. He was not angry at all. I told him that I would save my money and pay back every penny of it. Mr. Jones smiled. “It's not the money that matters,” he said. “I was really hurt that someone would do that to me without stopping to apologize. Now that you have come and explained the accident, I feel good again.”

    Experts in nutrition suggest that we should eat at least five different kinds of vegetables and fruit a day. They are very necessary for our health and help our bodies work well. They can help reduce the risk of getting ill. There are a lot of vegetables and fruit to be chosen and they taste delicious. 1.

It's easy to buy our food from the local supermarket, so why do we go to the trouble of growing our own? Here are several good reasons：

2. You can pick up and eat it at once. When you have tried it, you will agree that vegetables and fruit that are eaten straight from the garden taste better than anything you can buy in a supermarket.

You may want to cut down on your “food miles”—the distance that a product has travelled before it reaches your kitchen. Many food packages are flown halfway across the earth. 3.

Homegrown food is likely to be healthier. Food producers often use fertilizers and pesticides which can end up in your food. If you grow your own, things are different. 4. You might also choose to grow some traditional vegetables and fruit. These often have more important things that keep you healthy.

5. And you can grow your own even if you only have a small backyard. Some food can grow well in pots, including tomatoes, potatoes and carrots. You can recycle plastic bottles and cups to grow something. Just make sure there are holes for drainage and a small plate under them to catch drops of water.

Happy gardening!

发霉的食物还能吃吗?

One day, you open the fridge and find some moldy food. But before you can throw it away, your mother stops you. She doesn't want to waste food. She cuts off the moldy part and eats the rest. Is it safe to do this?

Mold can grow on almost all kinds of food. Mold is usually green, white, black or grey. Mold makes food soft and changes its color. Moldy food tastes quite bad—and it's not safe to eat.

If you find mold in soft food, just throw it away. Soft food, such as bread, tomatoes or hot dogs, usually contains water. This allows mold to easily grow below its surface. Bacteria can also grow along with it.

But it's easy to remove mold from hard food. The mold can't grow very deeply inside this kind of food. According to the BBC, you should cut about 2.5 cm around and below the mold to remove it. It's OK to cut the moldy parts out of hard food and eat the rest. But if the food is completely covered with mold, you should still throw it away.

Most kinds of mold are bad for us. But some kinds of mold can be used to make food. For example, penicillium can be used to make many types of cheeses, such as blue cheese. These cheeses are safe to eat—and they're quite delicious as well.

    文化意识——中国传统文化

Cinyee Chiu, an artist from Taiwan, is always happy to try something new. Her amazing works won lots of prizes. Among them, “24 Solar Terms” is the most popular.

Ancient Chinese divided a year into 24 parts according to the changes of the weather. It's the 24 solar terms. But not everyone knows them well. Cinyee Chiu put the 24 solar terms in pictures to help people understand them better.

Cinyee turned each solar term into an animal. But these animals are not just animals. You can also find seasonal fruit, vegetables or beautiful flowers on them.

When spring comes, water gets warm and fish start to swim around. So Cinyee chose fish as a symbol of Start of Spring. Also, she drew spring vegetables, Chinese chives on the back of the fish.

White Dew falls on about Sept. 8. It shows the beginning of the cool autumn. There are colorful leaves and cooler nights at this time of year. As the temperature falls, white dew is often seen on the grass and trees at night. For White Dew, Cinyee chose a raccoon—a small animal with thick hair. She drew white spots on the raccoon to show dew. And she used the dragon fruit to show the rich colors in autumn.

The young artist really gave the ancient Chinese culture a new look.
