The peanut grows flowers above ground, butits “fruit” grows underground. It grows in more countries than most other “nuts”.The peanut is a native South American plant. Scientists believe that it grew wild in Brazil long ago. They think thatfor several thousand years the early peoples of South Americamade it a part of their diet. These peoples were nomads who moved on when a natural food could no longer be found in one area. Along the way they probably let fall some peanuts, which got into the ground and grew. This is believed to be the way the plant reached the place where the Incas(印加人)lived. The Incas, from about 1100 to 1532, thought highlyof peanuts. The peanuts were eaten in several forms and used as sacrificial offerings(祭品)to the Incan Sun God. Later in the 16th century, Europeansoldiers had brought peanuts to other parts of the world, including North America, Africa, Asia, Europe, and Pacific Islands.Although peanuts were found native in South America, they are now grown in almost every country that has warm weather. India produces the most peanuts. Chinas production is next, followed by the United States.The peanut is special in more ways than one. It can be eaten raw, boiled, roasted, or fried. Hundreds of widely different products have been made from it. Carver, an American scientist, set himself the task of discovering new uses for eating and for many other products.Peanuts are very highly nutritious and are also high in protein (蛋白质). Americans use about seven-tenths of their protein in the form of meat. In India, where the poor cant pay for meat or milk, peanut meal and peanut milk have been produced. These have been a great help to the poor.New products are continually being made from peanuts, among them peanut cheese and a powder that becomes peanut butter when water is added. The fact is that peanuts are so healthy that they were used by astronauts. The unusual nut that isnt a nut is one of natures most amazing gifts.41.

After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself. “I wonder why that woman doesnt wash her window. It really looks terrible.”One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window on the inside.Later in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible (看见). Her window was clean!Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing (批评) her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hersthrough my own dirty window. That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had Ilooked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings Since then, whenever I wanted to judge (评判) someone, I asked myself first, “Am I looking at him through my own dirty window ” I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me moreclearly.51.
