"Poor Grandma! Is there any way to make her feel better?" Amy said to her brother Mark.

There was something wrong with Grandma's legs. She loved to work in her garden,so she would not enjoy sitting in her chair waiting for her legs to heal(康复) themselves.

"I have an idea, " said Mark. "I saw some pictures of terrariums(玻璃箱) in a magazine. Terrariums are little gardens. Let's make a terrarium for Grandma to make her happy. " Amy thought it was a great idea, so they found the magazine with the ways of making a terrarium and showed it to their mom. She thought that a terrarium would be a great gift for Grandma.

With the help of Mom, Amy and Mark found a large and clean glass bottle. Mark then placed two plants and put the soil(土壤) over their roots(根). Then Amy placed some colorful rocks(岩石) around the plants. Finally, they watered the plants.

When Amy and Mark showed Grandma her new terrarium, her eyes were wet. Now she has a beautiful little garden to enjoy in her house.

    Nearly 7,000 medical workers in the team supporting Central China's Hubei province left the capital, Wuhan, the hardest-hit city in the novel coronavirus outbreak in China, and went back to their hometowns on Tuesday, March 31, marking the largest scale departure (离开) of medics (医学工作者)since the first group left on March 17. The Civil Aviation Administration of China has organized 51 planes to support the departure.

    More than 42,000 medics from other parts of the country have joined the battle with local medics to fight against COVID-19. The support teams came from 21 provinces, cities and autonomous regions(自治区) and some of them worked on several battlefields during the past months. The support team from the First Hospital of China Medical University in Shenyang, was among those in the group. Sixty members were in charge of treating COVID-19 patients in 100 beds in the Union Hospital and treated 174 patients who have been seriously ill since they arrived on Feb 10.

    Wang Zhenning, the leader of its support team, expressed his thanks to the Wuhan people who offered great help to them. "I am proud towitness and play a role in history. We've been here, seen it happen and become better. Wuhan is our second hometown. We will forever care about the city and the people fighting with us." he said.

    Wuhan city government showed great thanks to all medics in a letter, expressing their gratefulness of the medics' efforts to save lives in the battle. "Thanks to your arrival, Wuhan welcomes today's peace and stability. We will always remember your kindness!" the letter said. In it, the city government also invited the medics to visit Wuhan in the future for sightseeing. Local people volunteered to line up and see medics off as the medics left for home after finishing their mission(使命) in Wuhan. Wuhan traffic police led the way for medics to the airport.

Did you have cereal(麦片) for breakfast this morning? If you did, you're not alone. Lots of people eat cereal for breakfast every day. In fact, cereal is popular all over the world. It all started with one man, Will Keith Kellogg. 

Will was born on 7th April 1860, in Battle Creek, Michigan. His first job was as a stock boy at the Battle Creek Sanitarium. A sanitarium is a special place that is a little like a hospital. People who are ill for a long time or who are getting over a serious illness can go there. Will had other jobs as he got older. But when he grew up, he became a manager of the sanitarium. His brother, John, was the chief doctor there. 

One big problem at the sanitarium was the food that the patients eat daily. The patients needed healthy food, but it was also important for the food to taste good. Will was trying to find a good food choice to take the place of the bread, but it wasn't going very well. Then, by accident, Will found something even better. He left some wheat to cook too long. When it was rolled out, it formed large, thin flakes. He asked his brother to serve it to the patients, and they loved it! In fact, they liked it so much that they wanted to eat the flakes even after they left the sanitarium. So in 1894, the creation of Kellogg's Corn Flakes came out. Before long, Kellogg's breakfast cereal was popular in other countries too. Today, there are many kinds of breakfast cereals. But it all started with one man and one idea. 

Will did more than just create breakfast cereal. His company made a lot of money. But he always shared it with others generously. He used much of his money to help children. He also helped some charities(慈善机构) with his money. Will Kellogg died in 1951. But his most famous invention is as popular as ever.
