We all want to change something about our appearance (外表) . Sometimes it's healthy,sometimes it's not so healthy. Here are four kids’ questions about this subject.
| I don’t really have the best fashion sense in the world. I see my friends wearing good clothes, and mine are OK. It’s not that I want to be like them, I just want to be in the same fashion zone (區域）. Any advice? |
| I am really tall for my age. But almost everyone I know is shorter than me and can do everything better. That’s because I weigh more than others. It makes me feel fat. I am only 13! Can you help me? |
| |
| I have a “beauty mark” (as my parents call it) on the right part of my face, and some people say I look beautiful, but I’m starting to doubt (個不 疑）if it’s true. Sometimes people who are too judgmental make fun of me and call me “moley” or “ mole face ’’ and it really hurts my feelings. Sometimes I even come home crying. How do I just brush it off? |
| Fm kind of worried about wearing make-up (化妝品）.I think that makeup could maybe improve my appearance. However, I don’t want to overdo (做得過分）it. Sometimes girls get bad words because they wear too much all the time, and they also look a bit silly (愚蠢的）.I don’t want people to think that I’m uncomfortable (不舒 服的）in my shoes. Can you give me any advice about how to wear? |

Do you long to have garden-fresh vegetables on your plate every night? Read on for information on how to take care of a garden.
Never let the soil in your garden dry out. If it doesn’t rain for a few days and the soil feels dry,water your garden. Be sure the water gets all the way down to the roots (the parts that grow down into the soil) of the plants,but don't water too much. You could drown (淹死) your plants!
You may see some plants in your garden that you didn't put there. These are weeds. Pull them out when the ground is soft and wet. Be sure you get out the roots,or the weeds will grow back.
Tall plants such as tomatoes need sticks to hold them up. Without sticks,they’ll fall over. When your tomato plants get to be about two feet tall,it ,s time to stick to them. Push a long stick into the ground next to each plant. Tie the plant to the stick with a string. As each plant grows taller,you’ll have to tie it up again.
If you’ve planted seeds,you can expect too many plants to come out. You have to clear some away,so that the plants left will have room to grow. This is called thinning. If you’ve planted lettuce seeds,wait until the baby plants are about 1. 5 inches tall. Then pull some of the plants out so that you can leave about 8 inches between plants.
Now that you’ve done all the work to make a vegetable garden,it's time to enjoy what you’ve finished. Pick a red,ripe,juicy tomato. Eat it while ifs still warm from the sun. Or cut it up and put it in a salad-made with lettuce you picked yourself. If you have more vegetables from your garden than you and your family can eat,give them to friends and neighbors. It's fun to have the joy you get from your garden together with others.
閱讀短文，回答下列問題。
1. How should you water the garden?
2. What are some plants you didn't put in your garden?
3. Do tomatoes need special care?
4. Why should we do thinning?
5. What does the writer mainly want to tell us in the last paragraph?
