    Mr. Jones teaches history. He is a very good teacher. During this year, most of his students got at least a C on the tests and there were many A's. On the last test, however, Mr. Jones got a big surprise. He wrote down all of his students' scores. Then he counted the number of students that got between 91 and 100. There were only two! Only two students got A's! He found out that there were only a few B's and C's. Most of the students in his class got a D or and F on the final test. Mr. Jones looked at the test again. He thought that it was too hard. He decided to give every student 10 more points. Then many of the students got good grades on the test. What a nice teacher!

    Last week we talked about growing potatoes. Today we will talk about growing another root vegetable, carrots. Carrots are easy to grow and easy to harvest. They taste good. And they contain a lot of carotene (胡萝卜素). When we eat the carrots, our body makes carotene into vitamin A(维生素A).

    When we think of carrots, we usually say carrots are long, thin and orange. But carrots are in many different sizes and shapes. And not all carrots are orange. Sometimes we have green carrots with yellow inside.

    Carrots should be planted in the sand. The soil also should have no rocks.
