Carrots are grown all over the world. They are easy to plant and easy to harvest. They have a good taste.

When people think about carrots, they usually think they are a kind of long, thin, orange-colored vegetable. In fact, carrots are in many different sizes and shapes. And not all carrots are orange.

Carrots should be grown in a field that does not have water for a long time. The earth also should not be too hard. To prepare your carrot garden, dig up the earth and turn it over(翻土). 

Weather, soil condition(土壤状况), and time affect(影响) the taste of carrots. Warm days and cool nights are the best time to grow great delicious carrots.

The best way to decide if a carrot is ready to be harvested is by its color. Usually, the brighter the color is, the better the taste is.

Most people do not know that carrots can be grown during the winter months. If the winter is not cold enough to freeze the ground, you can grow carrots the same way as you do during the summer months.

Carrots are prepared and eaten in many different ways. They are cut into thin pieces and cooked with other vegetables or meat. Or, they are washed, and eaten just as they come out of the ground.

Many people do not like to stay at home on holiday. They want to go on a trip to some exciting places. They want to see something different and do something exciting. So people from the country come to the city and people from the city go to the country for their holidays. During the holidays, trains, buses and planes are all very busy. It is very hard to buy train tickets. Many people take cars for a trip. Last week my family went to the country by car for our holidays. There was too much traffic on the road, so we had to drive very slowly. It took us about an hour to get out of the town. Then we came to a hill. It was green and beautiful. We thought this was a good place for a picnic, so we stopped and took the food, fruit and drinks out of the car. We sat down and began to eat. Suddenly a strong wind blew and soon it started to rain. We had to run back to our car and had our picnic in the car. Then we drove back home. What a bad trip!

Resting my head on Helen's shoulder,I put my arms round her waist.She drew me to her,and we rested in silence.

We had not sat long before another person came in.

Some heavy clouds,swept from the sky by a rising wind,had left the moon bright;and her light,coming in through a window near,shone full both on us and on the coming person,Miss Temple

"I came on purpose to find you.Jane Eyre,"said she."I want you in my room, and as Helen Burns is with you,she may come too."

We followed Miss Temple to her apartment.It had a good fire,and looked cheerful.Miss Temple told Helen Burns to be seated in a low arm-chair on one side of the fireplace,and herself asking another,she called me to her side.

"Is it all over?"she asked,looking down at my face."Have you cried your sadness away?"

"I am afraid I never shall do that."

"Why?"

"Because I have been wrongly accused(指责),and you and everybody else,will now think me a bad girl."

"We shall think you what you prove yourself to be,my child.Continuo lo act as a good girl,and you will satisfy us."

"Shall I,Miss Temple?"

"You will."said MissTemple,"You have been accused of lying when you were little.Tell us the truth,but add nothing and exaggerate(奇大)nothing. "

I made up my mind that I would be most modest and most correct.Having thought for a few minutes about where to start,I told her all the story of my sad childhood.
