Christensenillustrated by Michael PalanHave you ever watered a garden and watched the water disappear(消失) into the soil? This fun experiment shows how plants take water from the ground to grow. Ask an adult to help you.You Will Need: Medium-sized glass Water Red food coloring Spoon 1 celery stalk with leaves (一根带叶的芹菜)You Will Do:1. Fill the glass halfway with water.2. Stir(搅拌) in enough food coloring to make the water dark red.3. Ask Mom or Dad to cut 1 inch off the bottom of the celery stalk. Place the stalk in the water and let it stand overnight.What Will Happen?The leaves will turn red, as well as the tiny tubes running up through thestalk. Break the stalk in half, and you will see red dots in each piece.Why?As a plant grows, its roots act like straws(麦秆状吸管), sucking water up into the stem or stalk. Tiny tubes（管） inside the stalk carry water farther up into the leaves. (By coloring the water red, this is easier to see.) The red dots show a cross-section of the tiny tubes through which the water traveled.(190)k 151.

She never got anybodys order right, sending them complaining to the manager. There were stains (污点) all over her uniform and runs in her stockings. Everyone laughed at her and called her Fozzy I didnt even know her real name. But on Thanksgiving night, when only Fozzy and I manned(在岗位上) the wait stations, I had poured out my troubles to her before I even knew it. Thankfully, Fozzy, whom I had never talked much with, lent a friendly ear to me. I even told her I finally saved some money for college schooling but then my old car refused to start and I was told I had to pay $500 to fix it. Unexpected, as we clocked out, she said: “Ive been trying to sell my old car for weeks. Its in good shape. Im only asking $300 for it. Maybe the money youd saved would cover the tuition.” I leaped at（欣然接受）the offer. Later, Fozzys smile filled the corridor (走廊) as she opened her door welcoming me into her apartment. I sat on a worn couch and looked around her modest one-bedroom home. It was clean, but a waitress wage would only stretch（伸展，延伸） so far “Oh, Im sorry,” I said, noticing that the table had been set for two.” I didnt realize you were expecting company.” Fozzy smiled sadly. “Oh, no. That is just habit. Ever since my husband died six years ago, I cant stand to see a table set for one,” she said. “Listen,” I said, pulling out my tips that day. “Why dont we order some take-out, so your nice table here doesnt go to waste? My treat. Its the least I can do after you helped me out.” We enjoyed a lovely meal together that night. But there was another surprise in store for me. Later, on the front seat of my new used car I found a letter and some money. “Thank you for the first Thanksgiving Ive celebrated in six years,” said the note. “This isnt much, just the tips I made tonight. Maybe you can buy one of your textbooks. Thanks again, Mavis.” Actually, that name was on Fozzys nametag the whole time If Id only looked: Mavis. (395)54.
