The stalk is soft enough to be cut with a knife. It takes about a year before bananas are ready to be picked. Some are as small as fingers. Others are as long as mens arms. Some banana plants grow as tall as a house even taller!Not all bananas are eaten as fruit. Some never get sweet, and they are cooked as a kind of vegetable.People in most countries never see a banana until it reaches the store. But if you visited a country where its hot and rains a lot all the year, you might see a banana plantation, a large farm where bananas grow.The tasty fruit doesnt come from a seed but from a root planted deep in the ground. First a stalk pushes up into the air. The leaves grow. In the beginning the banana plant grows very fast sometimes as much as the length of your feet in one night. Soon, sweet-smelling flowers come out, and when their flowers drop off, bananas begin to grow.As they get bigger, bananas start turning up. It looks as if theyre growing upside down! Bananas are ready to eat when they turn soft and yellow. Bananas are picked long before this when theyre hard and green. This is because bananas have to travel many miles before they arrive at a store. On trucks and boats and trains bananas travel all over the world. There are special boats just for bananas and special trains that keep them just cool enough so that they will get ripe while traveling. If bananas are picked when they are ripe (成熟的), they will spoil on the way.19 . Whats the weather like in places where bananas grow?ADry and coldBCold and wetCWet and hotDHot and dry20 .

Between then and now many changes will happen. But what will the changes be?The population is growing fast. The number of people will become bigger and bigger in the world and most of them will live longer than people live now.Computers will be much smaller and more useful, and there will be at least one in every home. And computer studies will be one of the important subjects in schools then. People will work fewer hours than they do now and they will have more free time for sports, watching TV and traveling. Traveling will be much cheaper and easier. And many more people will go to other countries for holidays.Our food will have many changes, too. More land will be used for building new towns and houses for all the people. Then cows and sheep will have less room to live in, so meat will be more expensive. Maybe no one will eat it every day. Instead they will eat more fruits and vegetables. Maybe people will be healthier. Work in the future will be different, too. Robots will do dangerous and hard work. Because of this, many people will not have enough work to do. This will be a problem.28 . In the future people will _.Alive shorterBbecome fatterChave longer life29 .

Now that would be possible! According to chocolate makers it could happen if we dont act soon. There are two main causes of the chocolate shortage(短缺)chocolates growing popularity and less production of cocoa(可可豆)， the plant from which chocolate is made. With more and more people in India and China loving chocolate， not much can be done about the first cause. Therefore， the only thing we can do is to increase cocoa production. However， new plant diseases and little rain in Ivory Coast and Ghana， the worlds largest producers， have reduced cocoa production by 40 percent in the past 10 years. Whats worse， many cocoa farmers in Africa and other cocoa producing countries like Indonesia and Venezuela are changing to easier-to-grow crops such as corn or rubber(橡胶). This way， the farmers can make more money. To prevent more farmers from changing， researchers at the newly opened International Cocoa Control Center， in the UK， are trying to create new cocoa plants that are stronger and faster growing. But first they must make sure the new plants are safe to grow. This takes a long time. First， each new plant is stored at the Control Center for six months to make sure it is healthy. It is then planted in the Centers fields， studied and tested for another two years. Only after scientists are certain that theyre disease free， will the plants be sent to farmers in West Africa or wherever else they are needed. To create new stronger types of cocoa， scientists at the Control Center are combining(结合) the best parts from different cocoa plants. Though the world is facing a serious chocolate shortage， there is now hope!32 . The first paragraph tells us that the world could soon be without vegetables.33 . Chocolate has become more popular in China and India.34 . Cocoa farmers are choosing to grow rubber， corn and bananas because these crops can make them more money.35 .

This made her wonder what she and her schoolmates could do to help the environment. Maybe if my school got a bike rack（架子），more kids would bike to school instead of depending on cars, Izzy told TIME for KidsRather than ask their school to buy a rack, Izzy and her friends decided to make a bike rack by themselves.They came up with a design. They calculated how much wood they might need. They measured howlong the boards should be. They used power tools to cut them and put them together safely. And they didall this in their schools makerspace.Makerspaces are workspaces where kids can learn to create objects using technology, engineering,art and design. These spaces often feature a mix of high-tech machines, such as 3D printers and robotickits（工具箱），and simple materials like clay and cardboard.Izzy goes to the Harley School in New York. It is one of a growing number of schools across theUnited States with makerspaces. Makerspaces are largely inspired by Maker Faires（创客盛会），whichare events that give people a chance to share their creative projects.
