Tomatoes first grew in the Americas. The Incas grew them over 1, 000 years ago. They were introduced to Europe by the Spanish in the early 16th century.

There are many kinds of ants in America. One kind is very strong. People are afraid of it.
These ants move in a large group. They eat all the animals on their way. They can kill and eat elephants, and they can eat wood houses. Sometimes even people are killed by them. When the ants come, people leave their homes. But people are sometimes glad after the ants pass through, because they can see no insects(昆虫) or snakes.

    Yang Nan, 17, was happy to move to her new home in a northern area of Beijing. She was told that her neighborhood used to be rich farmland planted with vegetables, corn and wheat. But looking at the new road, beautiful parks and supermarkets, to her surprise, Yang couldn't see any sign that food was once grown there.
    Yang is not alone. In recent years, many Chinese people have moved into new houses in country areas. Tall buildings have been built everywhere in the suburbs. The crops and fruit trees are no more grown there. But these changes have caused big problems too, warns Gan Zangchun, an official（官员）at the Ministry of Land and Resources(国土资源部）．
    "Chinese cities are growing very fast. This has made the area for farmland much smaller than before. This is really bad for the country's ability to grow food, not to mention the lives of farmers," said Gan last Monday.
    As the population of China is growing all the time, the country needs more farmland to grow food for the increasing people of China. But the recent rise in house prices has made selling land a good business. A lot of land has been used to build new houses for sale. So you can see, the shortage of the farmland is now a very serious problem.
    Pollution, such as, oil pollution, industrial(工业) pollution and water pollution, which makes land useless, is another reason for the big drop in China's farmland. About 2.67 million square kilometers of land in China have been polluted and turned into desert.
    Today, can we use less farmland to grow enough food for more people? Of course not! The government wants China to have at least 120 million hectares（公顷） of farmland. Only in this way can we raise such a big population. But there are only about 121.8 million hectares left. "It will be really difficult to reach the goal", Gan said. He said that the government would fight illegal(非法的) land use and something useful must be done to stop farmland from becoming desert.

Who is the greatest teacher in Chinese history? Many people would think of Confucius (孔子) , whose birthday was on September 28 th. Although he lived over 2 , 0 0 0 years ago, people still remember and respect him.

Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu, which lies in Shandong Province. He lived during the Spring and Autumn Period. He had a hard childhood. His father died when he was only 3. His mother brought him up. As a child, he had to work to help his mother, but young Confucius didn't give up studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry and sports.

Later, he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history. At that time, only children from noble (贵族的) families could go to school, but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn. He had about 3 , 000 students in his lifetime.

Today, people still follow Confucius ' lessons. He told us that each person has something worthy to learn and teach. "When I am with three people, one of them must be better than me in some areas. I choose their good qualities and follow them. I take their bad qualities and change them in myself. "

He also taught us that thinking is very important in study. "All study but no thinking makes people puzzled. All thinking but no study makes people lazy. "

孔夫子不仅是一个伟大的老师，也是一个对世界和社会有明智想法的思想家。His most important teachings are about kindness and good manners. "A kind person should care for others. Be strict with yourself, but be kind to others. "

①What do a student in China, an office worker in the UK and an astronaut in space all have in common? They all eat instant noodles (方便面). And they're not alone—over 100 billion servings (一份) of instant noodles are sold around the world each year, making them one of the world's most successful industrial foods (大规模生产的加工食品). But how did this happen?

②Put simply, they're cheap to produce and cheap to buy, which was exactly what their creator (发明者) expected. Momofuku Ando, a Japanese businessman, spent a year improving the recipe (配方) just after the Second World War. He wanted to make something similar to traditional Japanese ramen noodles (拉面). He used the wheat flour (面粉) donated to Japan by the US government. His creation was quickly popular, playing an important role in Japan's economic (经济) rise after the war. Even in the year 2000 – according to a poll by the Fuji Research Institute – instant noodles were voted Japan's most successful invention. They were much more popular than high-speed trains, laptops or karaoke.

③But Japanese people are not alone in their devotion to instant noodles. According to the World's Instant Noodles Association, China, Indonesia, Vietnam (越南) and India—in that order—the sales of instant noodles in these countries were all bigger than Japan in 2021. Instant noodles' popularity abroad simply depends on how easy they are to adapt to (适应) local tastes. In Thailand, for example, you can get green curry flavour (味道), while in Mexico the noodles are decorated with lime and salsa. And it seems that buyers have grown to expect new creation. Nissin, the food company set up by Ando, created over 300 products yearly, just in Japan, according to employee Kasura Suzuki.

④Different from those who love instant noodles, Some people do not like the noodles very much. Their rise in popularity has come at an environmental cost—they're made with palm oil (棕榈油), as a result, more trees are cut down. Also, their packaging is plastic. And while they are a hot, tasty and filling meal, instant noodles don't have much nutritional (营养的) value, and include high levels of salt and fat. Anyway, instant noodles are undoubtedly lifesavers in emergency or extreme (极端) situations.

⑤More than 60 years after their invention, instant noodles have become the default (默认) food for anyone short on money, time, or even a kitchen.

Languages play an important part in our life. Mother language is a very intimate（密切的）thing to us. For people who speak an ancient tongue as their mother language, it helps them keep their traditions. If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to a man in his own language, that goes to his heart.

The associations that lie in the languages bring ideas and pictures to our minds. Associations are just the power of languages. However, how language came into being is unknown. All we know is that some early men invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could talk with each other. Later they agreed on certain signs, which could be put together to show those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, are called words

Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words bring back to us the happy and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.

Over the last century, more than 400 languages have died out. Some languages are now spoken only by a few dozens of people. Why are humans speaking fewer languages than we once did? The answer has to do with globalization（全球化）. Nowadays, it's more useful to speak certain languages-English is one example-rather than others.

As US writer Rita Mae Brown wrote, "Language is the roadmap of a culture. It tells where its people come from and where they are going." We should learn to choose our words carefully and use them correctly, or they will make ourselves silly and common.
