An Experiment Report on Growing Potato Plants Things prepared·a potato that has sprouts (芽) ·a flower pot with soil ·a camera to record progress Observation Day One Day Six Day Eleven Day Thirteen Day Fifteen 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. 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. 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. Buddy continues to grow taller. The leaves on the new sprouts have grown a bit. I’m also excited to see more sprouts that have grown from under the soil. Finally, the leaves on the other sprouts are 3cm 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. 1．What information does this report include? ①Plans of the experiment    ②Results of the experiment ③Process of the experiment    ④Preparations of the experiment A．①②③ B．①②④ C．②③④ D．①③④ 2．When did the potato grow new sprouts and leaves? A．On Day Six. B．On Day Eleven. C．On Day Thirteen. D．On Day fifteen. 3．According to the report, what is necessary for potato plants to grow well? A．Direct sunlight. B．Any condition is OK. C．Dry soil and cold temperature. D．Plenty of water and the right temperature. 4．What lesson did the writer learn? A．Plants need daily records to grow well. B．Success requires time, effort, and patience. C．It’s not easy for teenagers to do the experiment. D．The sprouts can grow into new potatoes in 15 days. 5．Where can we probably read this report?

Natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods or wildfires have been a great danger to the human beings since the beginning. Every year, thousands of lives die of them.

A hundred battles, a hundred victories” Only when we know more about natural disasters can we come up with excellent ideas to fight against them. This Saturday, we invite Malika Sultanova, a professor (教授) of Yale University and expert in environmental science, to give a speech on what you need to know about natural disasters. Let’s go and enjoy 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. 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. 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. Buddy continues to grow taller. The leaves on the new sprouts have grown a bit. I’m also excited to see more sprouts that have grown from under the soil. Finally, the leaves on the other sprouts are 3cm 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. 1．What information does this report include? ①Plans of the experiment    ②Results of the experiment ③Process of the experiment    ④Preparations of the experiment A．①②③ B．①②④ C．②③④ D．①③④ 2．When did the potato grow new sprouts and leaves?
