It weighs more than four polar bears (北极熊) put together. It can be used to make 687 pumpkin pies. But do you really know pumpkins? Here are five things you may not know about pumpkins. Pumpkins are not vegetables. They may not be juicy like an apple, but since pumpkins grow from a flowering plant, they are actually a kind of fruit from the squash or gourd (葫芦) family. Pumpkins aren’t always yellow or orange. While known for their deep orange or yellow colour, they can also be green, red, white and blue. The reason why many pumpkins are orange is that they have carotenoids (类胡萝卜素), the same thing that gives carrots their orange colour. There are many kinds of pumpkins. You may only see two or three different kinds of pumpkins in the supermarket, but there are about 45 kinds of pumpkins grown all over the world. Pumpkins are one of the oldest domesticated plants (驯化植物). People have been growing pumpkins for thousands of years. The oldest pumpkin seeds (种子) ever found were discovered in Mexico and they date back to around 7000 BC. It is thought pumpkins came from North America and Central America. It takes long time to grow a pumpkin. If you want to grow pumpkins at home, you need lots of patience (耐心) for this slow growing fruit. Once you have planted the seeds, it could take up to four months before the pumpkins are ready to pick. 41.

Then he suddenly found that he had reached his house. As he walked in, his eyes lit up. In the eyes of his wife and children, he saw faith and love. “How we miss you, dear!

Many years ago, an Englishman traveled to Italy, and he traveled there in a carriage (四轮马车). On his way, he stopped in a small town in Switzerland called Geneva. There was a carriage clock (旅行钟) in the earriage. This was the earliest kind of watch. A blacksmith’s (铁匠的) assistant (助手) happened to see the clock. He wanted to know what it was and asked the Englishman about it. “It is a carriage clock,” said the man. “This machine can tell the time, but it isn’t working now.” The blacksmith’s assistant wanted to try to repair the clock, so the traveler handed it to him. The assistant was a very clever man, so it was easy for him to repair the clock. He even remembered how it was made. As soon as the traveler had gone on his way, he made a watch of exactly the same type (样式). So the watch-making was started in Switzerland. Today, Swiss watches are sold in stores all over the world. 5. Which country invented the watch? A. Switzerland. B. Britain. C. Italy. D. Geneva. 6. Who made the first watch in Switzerland? A.

Recently, she celebrated her 102nd birthday with a skydive (跳伞). That makes her the oldest skydiver in the UK. Born in England, Manette is no stranger to extreme sports. For her 100th birthday, she raced a Ferrari (法拉利) at 130 miles per hour. She didn’t do anything for her 101st birthday, so she really wanted to do something exciting for her 102nd birthday. Her father did a skydive when he was 83 and fell in love with it. So Manette thought, “If he can do it at 83, why can’t I do it at 102?” With the help of her friends and family, she took to the skies to celebrate her 102nd birthday. For Manette, it was a new experience. “When the airplane door opened, it was a bit scary. But then I thought there is nothing more I can do or say. So I just jump!” she said. Manette hopes her jump will encourage other old people not to give up anything. It's hard to imagine (想象) what Manette might take on next. She’s always looking for new adventures. Whether it’s racing high-speed cars or skydiving at 102, Manette’s life shows that life doesn’t have to slow down (放慢节奏) as our age. We can always follow new dreams and make a difference in the world, no matter how many candles are on our birthday cake. 8. When was Manette born? A. In 1922. B. In 1921. C. In 1924. D. In 1920. 9.

It weighs more than four polar bears (北极熊) put together. It can be used to make 687 pumpkin pies. But do you really know pumpkins? Here are five things you may not know about pumpkins. Pumpkins are not vegetables. They may not be juicy like an apple, but since pumpkins grow from a flowering plant, they are actually a kind of fruit from the squash or gourd (葫芦) family. Pumpkins aren’t always yellow or orange. While known for their deep orange or yellow colour, they can also be green, red, white and blue. The reason why many pumpkins are orange is that they have carotenoids (类胡萝卜素), the same thing that gives carrots their orange colour. There are many kinds of pumpkins. You may only see two or three different kinds of pumpkins in the supermarket, but there are about 45 kinds of pumpkins grown all over the world. Pumpkins are one of the oldest domesticated plants (驯化植物). People have been growing pumpkins for thousands of years. The oldest pumpkin seeds (种子) ever found were discovered in Mexico and they date back to around 7000 BC. It is thought pumpkins came from North America and Central America. It takes long time to grow a pumpkin. If you want to grow pumpkins at home, you need lots of patience (耐心) for this slow growing fruit. Once you have planted the seeds, it could take up to four months before the pumpkins are ready to pick. 41.
