    The teacher gave each student a piece of paper. There were some questions on it. "What is your favorite color? Tell us about your hobbies and interests. Do you like your brothers or sisters? "

    Judy hated answering questions. She looked at the questions, and she had no idea how to start. She was the only child in her family, and she had lots of interests, such as running, skating and swimming and so on. She could never fill out what hobby she enjoyed the most. For example, she was interested in all kinds of sports, but she is not good at any of them. So she never knew how to answer questions like these.

    Mrs. Jones, her teacher, walked quietly through the room when the students worked on the project (课题). She stopped at Judy's desk to ask her if she needed some help.

    Judy looked up and said, "I am interested in so many things. I just don't know how to choose."

Mrs. Jones smiled. She knew Judy was a smart girl but she couldn't focus on what she did. "Maybe you could just list three of them."

    Judy seemed to relax and said she knew what to write down.

    Judy liked having the guidance(指点)so she could know what she should do. She finished the project quickly.

    Do you know that millions of people are still suffering (遭受) from hunger? That's according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. But there could be a solution. According to a study, scientists have found a way to change a plant's genes (基因) to make better use of sunlight, reported Time for Kids.

    Plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) to make their own food. The process is called photosynthesis (光合作用). But this is a very slow process.It can take between 10 minutes and one hour for plants to start and finish the photosynthesis process. When a plant is under the sunlight, it will start the photosynthesis process slowly. But if a cloud happens to cover the sunlight, the process will suddenly stop. When the cloud goes away, the plant will slowly restart the process. This makes it hard for plants to get the right amount of sunlight to create food.

    The new study speeds up the process. Plants use less than one percent of the energy available to them. But by changing a plant's genes, the scientists were able to greatly increase the plants' leaf growth. In the test, leaf growth in two plants increased by 20 percent, while leaf growth on a third plant increased by 14 percent. Scientists did the study on tobacco (烟草) plants. And they thought the study would produce the same results in corn and rice. Someday, the process could increase food production around the world.
