When I was twelve, I went to a soccer field for the first time. I found hard to drag myself away from it. But all I could do were to make a paper one instead, so I didn’t have enough money to buy a football. Every day on my way home, I couldn’t help kick whatever on the road could be kicked.

Several weeks late， I felt I was on top of the world. While I got home，a real black and white ball was waiting for me on my desk, in which was my birthday present from my parents. I was very wild with joy that I didn’t know what to say. I simply rushed out with a ball and playing with other kids until I was completely tired out.

Often, news reports on health and medicine can be confusing. Large newspapers, magazines, TV networks, and radio stations often have medical【1】（journalist） to cover developments in health and medicine. Their job is to report scientific information in a way that's easy for ordinary people【2】(understand). Many health stories are 【3】 (accuracy) and balanced. But not all are. Sometimes, a journalist tries to quickly change information to a short news story, and he/she may oversimplify the information. In that case, 【4】you see may not be the whole picture.

So you need to get closer to a 【5】 (true) when you come across a news report online. To achieve this, ask 【6】 (you) whether the news is based on a scientific study. Sometimes, although a study 【7】 (do) in people, it may not apply【8】you. For example, findings from studies involving only adults may not be true for teens. So 【9】 (know) the study's process matters too. Besides, you can put keywords from 【10】 news report into a search engine and see what comes up. The results will give you many different perspectives(觀點(diǎn)) so you're not relying on just one news report for the facts.

When you don't have a greenhouse or enough room on the balcony for a few pots, you can still grow【1】(you) a few tasty home-grown tomatoes in hanging baskets ans window boxes if you stick to short varieties. I’ve even heard of these being grown by canal-boat【2】(owner) on their cabin（船艙）roof, since they’re short enough to fit under the bridges.

You might have trouble【3】(find) suitable plants later but there’s still time to raise your own form seed if you start straight away.

All of these will make short plants ideal for pots; they can【7】(place) anywhere with limited space, as long as it’s sheltered and【8】 (sun). What’s more, tumbling tomatoes are very easy【9】(grow)because they don’t need to have any side shoots removed and【10】do they need more than a few short sticks for support.
