The key to gardening with kids, says Patti Kraemer-Doell, Family garden coordinator at the new York Botanical Gardens, is “Letting them experience it themselves. We have tried to guide them, but not tell them to put the sunflowers here and the tomatoes there. The
18、emphasis is on developing their imagination and their appreciation for being out in the garden.”2. Guidance comes in the form of a string grid that is stretched across a planting bed, which divides it into one-foot squares. Kids get advice about how many seeds or seedlings to put in each square and
19、how deep to plant them. Volunteers show kids pictures of how the full-grown plants will look, so they understand how much room each plant needs.3. Theme gardens have been a big hit in the program, and are easy to do in a home garden. Try a barnyard garden, suggests Kraemer-Doell, using plants whose
20、names have associations with barnyard animals-lambs ears, hen and chicks, and cowslip, for example. Let kids grow a salsa garden, with all sorts of tomatoes, hot peppers, onions, and cilantro. A pizza garden can have basil, oregano, and tomatoes, In a Persian carpet garden, kids can focus on colored
21、 flowers. A seed garden can include plants that disperse their seeds in different ways, from milkweed to sunflowers.4. Kraemer-Doell also suggests trying a sunflower house. Let kids plant sunflower seeds in a square, leaving space for a door in front. As the sunflowers grow, put a hay fence around t
22、hem for protection and stake if necessary. Plant morning glories or sweet peas around the base of each sunflower, and they will grow up the stems, eventually forming a roof over the top. By summers end, kids will have a sunflower house to play in.5. Some kids might just want to play in the garden, s
23、ays Kraemer-Doell. At the family garden, theres a special place set aside just for digging and looking at insects and worms. Its a very popular spot.练习1.Paragraph 1_2.Paragraph 2_3.Paragraph 3_4.Paragraph 4_A. Different Kinds of GardensB. Showing Kids the PicturesC. To Build a Sunflower HouseD. How

26、ing a new generation of rice plants that will be able to grow in soil containing salt water. Their work may enable abandoned farms to become productive once more.Tim Flowers and Tony Yeo, from Sussex Universitys School of Biological Sciences, have spent several years researching how crops, such as r
27、ice, could be made to grow in water that has become salty.The pair have recently begun a three-year program, funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, to establish which genes enable some plants to survive salty conditions. The aim is to breed this capability into crops,
28、starting with rice.It is estimated that each year more than 10m hectares (公顷) of agricultural land are lost because salt gets into the soil and stunts (妨碍生长) plants. The problem is caused by several factors. In the tropics, mangroves (红树林 ) that create swamps (沼泽) and traditionally formed barriers t
29、o sea water have been cut down. In the Mediterranean, a series of droughts have caused the water table to drop, allowing sea water to seep (渗透) in. In Latin America, irrigation often causes problems when water is evaporated (蒸发) by the heat, leaving salt deposits behind.Excess salt then enters the p
30、lants and prevents them functioning normally. Heavy concentrations of minerals in the plants stop them drawing up the water they need to survive.To overcome these problems, Flowers and Yeo decided to breed rice plants that take in very little salt and store what they do absorb in cells that do not a
31、ffect the plants growth. They have started to breed these characteristics into a new rice crop, but it will take about eight harvests before the resulting seeds are ready to be considered for commercial use.Once the characteristics for surviving salty soil are known, Flowers and Yeo will try to bree
32、d the appropriate genes into all manners of crops and plants. Land that has been abandoned to nature will then be able to bloom again, providing much needed food in the poorer countries of the world.1 Which of the following statements about Flowers and Yeo is true?A They are students at Sussex Unive
33、rsity.B They are rice breeders.C They are husband and wife.D They are colleagues at an institution of higher learning.2 Flowers and Yeo have started a programmeA to find ways to prevent water pollution.B to identify genes that promote growth in salty soil.C to breed rice plants that taste salty.D to
