With a smile on his face and a nervous laugh, he took the last cookie and broke it into half. He offered her half, as he ate the other. She took it from him and thought, “This guy is so rude. He didnt even show his gratitude (感激).” When her flight was called, she gathered her belongings and headed for the gate without looking back at the man.After she got on the plane and found her seat, she thought of her book, which was almost finished. As she reached in her pack, she cried out with surprise.

Not only can one earn $9-$12 an hour, but they can also get the tips (小费). Most people that visit a restaurant dont just have good food. They come here to relax and have a good time. Besides serving food quickly, a young waiter who talks to them politely with a smile on his face will make the diners enjoy their time at the restaurant.Work in a libraryIf one is fond of books, working in a library is another suitable choice. Besides the pay is good, it offers a lot of free time when students can actually sit down and finish their homework.

Pongal is one of the traditional Indian festivals.Pongal is known as a harvest festival, celebrated in the state Tamilnadu of India. It comes in the mid of January, the day on which is the starting of the new month “Thai” of Tamil people. It is called different names in different states of India. In my place, it is celebrated for four days.The first day is called Bhogi pongal, which means removing all old items from your household and entry of new items. The meaning behind is removal of your bad thoughts and entry of good thoughts inside you. The second day is the actual main day of the celebration. It is the harvest festival, especially celebrated by farmers. It is compared to the thanksgiving day of Western countries. On that day, people will wear new dress and cook lots of vegetable dishes, which are harvested newly. The main dish is the “PONGAL”, a sweet dish which is prepared in a mud pot, and dedicated (奉献) to Sun GOD, as he is the source of energy to this entire world. The third day of pongal is “Mattu Pongal”, which is a day for cattle that serves the farmers to achieve the harvest. The final day is “Kannum pongal”.

Interestingly, he had a few houseplants in his room balcony (阳台) where he used to play his violin and he used to water them regularly. After a while he noticed that those plants had grown better than the other plants in the house, even though the regular watering was same for all. He wondered about it and came up with a hypothesis (假设), that it might actually be the violin music.Well, his inference (推论) may not be incorrect, as there have been experiments which find that music does affect plant growth. Sir Jagdish Chandra Bose, an Indian scientist, performed some experiments which show how music affects plant growth. 1. Plants do like noise. They grow more quickly, grow taller and weigh more than those kept in silence. Therefore, theres a good chance that plants like any sound you might play for them, including music. 2. Plants also like good, attentive care. If you are playing music you like for a plant, it may lead you to take better care of it. You will be more likely to carefully water and feed the plant and make sure it has good light. It might look like the music helps the plant grow, when you are actually taking better care of it. 3. Plants like carbon dioxide (二氧化碳). If you are standing by a plant, singing or playing music for it, it is going to absorb (吸收) some carbon dioxide from your breath. This could help it grow more quickly. 52.

To find how plant growth is influenced by music.55. According to Sir Jagdish Chandra Bose, plants _.A. grow very slowly in quiet conditionsB. grow better in noi
