An Unusual Garden
The ld 1986 truck was a gift frm his grandfather. It wrked, but it used a lt f gas. Ian Cheney lked at his grandfather’s truck and thught f a farm. As in ther large cities, there is nt much space t grw fd in New Yrk. Yet Cheney wanted a vegetable garden. Many farmers in New Yrk have fund creative ways t grw vegetables, such as rftp gardens, cmmunity gardens in ld parking lts, and even a flating garden in the Hudsn River. Cheney, hwever, didn’t have access t any f these spaces. S the ld truck was a practical slutin. The back f the truck prvided him with the space he needed.
S Cheney set t wrk. First, he drilled hles in the truck bed—allwing water t pass thrugh. Then he laid dwn a recycled plastic mat. The sil came next—a special lightweight variety. He made sure that everything was rganic. Cheney preferred rganic because he wanted t grw vegetables withut chemicals. Then he planted lettuce, herbs, spinach, and tmates. Finally, he watered and waited.
When the fd was ready t pick, Cheney drve the truck frm ne urban neighbrhd t anther. He gave away sme f the vegetables. He sld the rest t friends and neighbrs. Everywhere he parked, passersby stpped and talked abut the beautiful vegetable garden in the back f the truck.
Cheney strngly believes that peple are better ff eating mre lcal fd—that is, fd grwn clse t where they live. Lcal fd has bth envirnmental and health advantages. It reduces “fd miles”. The term fd miles refers t the distance between where yu prduce fd and where yu sell it. A lt f the fd in large supermarkets travels hundreds f miles t get t yur dinner table. This has an ecnmic and envirnmental cst. Then there is the questin f nutritin—fd that helps yu grw and be healthy. The nutritinal benefits f vegetables decrease ver time. S eating fd within a few days f harvesting is healthier fr yu.
Cheney knws that his truck farm cannt slve the prblem f the lack f fresh fd in sme neighbrhds. Yet, like rftp gardens, it culd be part f the slutin. As Cheney says, “If we can grw fd in the back f an 1986 Ddge pickup, we can definitely find better ways t grw mre fresh prduce.”

Jin’s life has been different since the training. She changed her life habits after learning the Five Elements thery (五行学说). Fr example, she avided sweating t much during exercise in winter because the cld f winter means peple shuld slw dwn, accrding t TCM. Fr her, learning these skills and theries was nt abut becming a TCM dctr but rather abut accepting a new lifestyle.

There’s nthing fr teenagers t d in this twn, especially at night. Can we use the mney t build a yuth club? Smewhere with a pl table and a table tennis table, perhaps. We need smewhere t play happily and hang ut safely in the evenings. —Daisy, 15
I think the best use fr the mney is t build a playgrund in the twn park. It shuld have lts f rides fr the yung kids. I’d like t have a skatebard park fr a start and maybe if there is enugh mney, we can have a climbing wall, t. —Luke, 13
As I’m nly 14, I can’t drive, s I g everywhere n my bike. But the rads are dangerus and many mtrists drive t fast. Hw abut spending the mney in building mre cycle lanes? We culd als put in mre speed cameras and zebra crssings, t. This will make life safer fr all ur citizens, nt just the yung peple. —Liz, 14
Hw abut a big billbard at the entrance t the twn that reads, “TEEN WARNING—there’s nthing t d here!” —Sadie, 16
This prbably sunds like a bring idea, but can’t we use sme f the mney t buy mre litter bins? I feel ashamed f ur twn when I see much litter n the grund. We need t tidy up ur twn quickly! —Jack, 15
Our high street is full f empty shps because everyne just shps at the new shpping centre utside f twn r nline. Why dn’t we use the mney t turn sme f these empty shps int an arts centre? It can have studis where we can draw and paint r learn hw t make films. We can als have a music studi where lcal bands can recrd music cheaply. —Alex, 17

When Je tld me his birthday party wasn’t ging t be a seafd barbecue and then singing karake again this year, I almst refused his invitatin. But this escape rm experience was s much better! Je’s a big Hrry Ptter fan, he’s read all the bks, s he chse the Schl f Witchcraft and Wizardry escape rms fr us. The aim was t pass ur exams and graduate frm wizard schl. S we put n ur black rbes (长袍) and gt t wrk! I was srry when it finished because I wanted t keep studying. It was s much fun!
Mei Ling, aged 14, Guangzhu, China
I haven’t dne anything like this befre, but I lve histry; s t celebrate the end f term, we went t a Pharah (法老) escape rm. What we needed t d was t find the lst treasure f the last Pharah. It was like travelling t anther cntinent—the pyramid was very real. We wrked as a team t find clues and slve riddles. It was satisfying t cmplete the task, but I think sme f the riddles were really a piece f cake because we cmpleted all the tasks in nly 49 minutes!
Cesar, aged 16, Malaga, Spain
My family lves escape rms, s 20 f us visited ne during the summer hlidays. There were fur teams f five and we needed t find a bmb (炸弹) befre it explded (爆炸) . It was exciting t wrk against the dck. One f the puzzles was really hard s the Game Master put a clue n a TV screen t help us. Luckily, we fund the bmb in time, s we went t have dinner tgether afterwards t celebrate ur success.

Dear Mrs Wu,
I lve vide games and I develp my wn games. It’s my favurite hbby. My parents were very encuraging at first. The day I started secndary schl, they changed their mind. They nw suggest that I give up vide games altgether because study shuld be my pririty (优先考虑的事项). What’s mre, they dn’t even allw me t g ut with my friends at night. Every time they d that, I act like I dn’t care. But in fact, I am quite angry and upset because they simply have n respect fr me and my needs. What can I d?Sincerely yurs,
Jasn
Dear Jasn,
Yu must be feeling very stressed these days. I’m glad yu wrte t me fr help. Hwever, yu shuld keep calm and talk t yur parents abut the benefits f yur hbby. I can see why yur parents are against vide-gaming—it was seen as a useless pastime (娱乐活动) back in the time when yur parents were yung. The best idea may be t tell them that it is gd training fr new tech jbs like being a vide game develper r drne phtgrapher (无人机摄影师). Als, it is a gd way t have a rest after a lng schl day. Try pinting ut real-life examples t them t supprt yur idea. Meanwhile, yu shuld als make sure yur hbby desn’t get in the way f yur schl perfrmance.
As fr yur parents’ nt allwing yu t g ut with yur friends, it may be a gd idea t pen up t them abut yur private life. Fr example, yu can ________. This may help them change their mind. Meanwhile, shw them yu are a respnsible persn wh understands their wrries, and will nt let them dwn. If yu can d this, I dn’t believe they will be s hard n yu. Remember, yu mustn’t lse yur cl, as that wuld be immature (不成熟的). Cheers!
