Every country has many good people who help to take care of others. Some high school and college students often spend many hours as volunteers in hospitals or orphanages. They read books to the people who have to be in these places. Sometimes they visit places of interest with the people or play games with them or listen to their problems.

Other young people volunteer to work in the homes of people who are sick or old. They collect food or money, paint, clean or repair their houses or do shopping for them. For each particular need, there is a group of volunteers. For boys who no longer have fathers, there is an organization called Big Brothers. The members of Big Brothers take these boys to basketball games or on fishing trips. They help them learn about things that boys usually learn from their fathers.

In most cities there are a number of clubs where children are taught to play games or to make crafts. Some of these clubs show movies or organize short trips to the mountains, beaches, museums and other places of interest. Most of these clubs have students as volunteers.

If a boy or a girl lives on a farm far from any city, an organization called Future Farmers will help him or her to learn more about growing food and raising animals, and to have more fun by meeting young people from other farms.

Volunteers believe that some of the happiest people in the world are those who help to bring happiness to others.

Things prepared:

·a potato that has sprouts(芽)

·a flower pot with soil

·a camera to record progress

Observation:

Day 1

The colour of the soil looks darker because I have just watered it. In the centre of the pot, I can see a tiny sprout that has grown from the potato under the soil. I"ll call it Buddy. Buddy is green and yellow. I wonder how fast it will grow.

Day 6

Without much change in the past six days, I finally see some new progress on Buddy as it has grown taller. It"s exciting to see new life like this. I hope Buddy can grow faster.

Day 11

Buddy is getting larger! Three more new sprouts have grown around Buddy! Green leaves have grown on the new sprouts, but they have not fully grown yet. I guess I need to be a bit more patient.

Day 13

Buddy continues to grow taller. The leaves on the new sprouts have grown a bit. I"m also excited to see more new sprouts that have grown from under the soil.

Day 15

Finally, the leaves on the other sprouts are 3 cm tall. They"re so green. I hope they will soon grow into new potatoes.

What I have learned

It"s really interesting to grow potatoes. During these fifteen days, I have learned that growing potato plants needs plenty of water. If the soil is dry, the potato will fail to grow. I have also learned that the temperature needs to be right. If it is too cold, it won"t grow.

I feel that growing plants is just like trying to succeed with anything in life—it takes not only time, but also lots of effort and patience.

34. When can the author see “Buddy goes on to grow and more sprouts have grown.”?

A. On Day 6. B. On Day 11. C. On Day 13. D. On Day 15.

35. From Day 1 to Day 11, the author appears to be ________.

A. impatient B. nervous C. busy D. boring

36. What does the author advise doing to grow potato plants successfully?

A. Watching them carefully and having more free time.

B. Watering them often and keeping proper temperature.

C. Growing a potato that has sprouts and having a camera

D. Having a pot with soil and putting them in a warm place.

37. What"s the text mainly about?

A. A study on growing potato plants.

B. How to grow potato plants in the pot.

C. What the progress of potato plants is like.

D. An experiment report on growing potato plants.
