Beets (甜菜) are a tasty root vegetable that do not require much work in the garden. People might think beets are always dark red. But they can also be pink, yellow or white . Beets with circles of red and white inside are known as candy cane.

Beets can be eaten fresh or frozen, canned or pickled(腌制). And not just the root but also the tops can be eaten. The leaves make good salads when the plants are young , and the greens can be cooked when the plants are older .

Beets like cool temperatures , between sixteen and eighteen degrees Celsius . They grow best in full sun and in loose soil that is not too wet .

Remove stones from the soil while preparing the ground . And test the soil before adding fertilizer . Some experts say the best fertilizers for beets are low in nitrogen(氮) .

Beet seeds can be planted as soon as the soil is able to be worked at the start of the growing season . Planting them every two to three weeks will provide a continuous harvest into the fall .

A beet seed is a fruit containing several seeds . Overcrowding the plants will mean that the roots cannot spread out and grow . Thin the bets by removing the smaller ones . These can be used as greens .

Cindy Haynes says little or no fertilizer is needed in fertile soils . But once the seeds are planted , she does suggest covering the soil with a little mulch (覆盖层) to protect it during rains and dry periods . She also suggests putting a fence around the plants to keep away rabbits and deer .

She says the only work needed once beets have been thinned is weeding and , when the weather is dry ,a weekly watering .

For best results, beets should be picked when they are four to five centimeters across . Beets much larger than that can be tough and have to be cooked for a long time .

21. Which kind of beets may people often seen ?

A. Dark red B. Pink C. Yellow D. White

22. What part of beets makes good salads ?

A. The root . B. The flower . C. The seed . D. The leaves.

d. removing stones e. adding fertilizer

A. d, e, a, c, b B. a, d, b, c, e

C. a, d, c, e, b D. d, a, e, c, b

24. What’s the purpose of this passage ?

A. To show people the advantages of beets .

What do you remember about your childhood ? I have good memories of exploring the fields near my house and riding my bike around the park . Today , children don’t spend enough time in the fresh air . Many of them fix their eyes on a screen either on a computer , or a TV ---they seem to be living in a virtual world . They have lost touch with nature .

Now 400 organizations in the UK are encouraging children to have some “wild time” . They want kids to exchange at least 30 minutes of watching TV or playing computer games for time playing outside . The simple pleasures of exploring and discovering nature help children to learn and keep fit too . Andy Simpson , who is part of the campaign , says: “An extra 30 minutes of wild time every day for all under 12-year-olds in the UK would be the equivalent(同等) of just three months of their childhood spent outdoors .” Even if the kids live in a city , they can go on adventures in the garden or the park . However , children often need a helping hand from mum and dad . They need to be shown what to do and where to go .

So despite the complex world that young people grow up in now , it seems that going back to basics and experiencing “nature’s playground ” is what modern need . Andy Simpson adds: “We want parents to see what this magical wonder product does for their kids’ development , independence and creativity , by giving wild time a go ” . David Bond from Project Wild Thing says “we need to make more space for wild time in children’s daily routine , freeing this generation of kids to have the sort of experiences that many of us took for granted ” .
