Potatoes are becoming China’s fourth main food after rice, wheat（小麦） and corn.
Potatoes have many good points as a main food. They are rich in vitamin C and potassium(钾). A potato’s vitamin C is as rich as 10 apples. Also, potatoes are lower in calories (卡路里) than wheat and corn. What’s more, potatoes are easy to grow. It can be grown in both the north and south during winter, spring and autumn. The plant is also able to bear（忍受） drought(干旱). In some places of China, there is not enough water. So the potato is a safer food to grow.
Now, many Chinese people treat potato more like vegetable, and eat it in the form of stir-fried (炒) potato slices and potato cooked with beef. But being a main food, potatoes can be cooked differently. Scientists have succeeded in making potato flour（粉）, noodles and other main foods similar to those made of rice or wheat.
In fact, the potato has long been a main food in many Western countries.
In the US, French fries are popular. People like sharing them with friends and families at parties. Together with ketchup(番茄酱), it is the best food to kill time.

Growing up is not always easy. When we face difficulties, a spirit of depending（依靠） on yourself is more useful than crying for help. That’s Hong Zhanhui’s story of growing from a boy into a man tells us.
Hong was born in 1982 in a poor family in Xihua County(县), Henan Province. When he was only 11, his father became badly ill and one day he came back with an unwanted baby girl . A year later, Hong’s mother left home. She no longer wanted to live such a poor life and face her sick husband. So everything hard fell onto the young boy: to take care of his father and the younger sister Chenchen, and to go on to study.
Although his life was hard, Hong didn’t go away from his father and sister. He took some part-time jobs to feed his family. He climbed tall trees to get birds’ eggs for his sister. He walked 2 hours at weekends to the market to buy different things to sell around his school. A few years later, he studied at a college. To take care of Chenchen, he worked hard to rent(租) a room near his college for her, and sent her to school.
After Hong’s story went public, he became a hero（英雄） in people’s eyes. But Hong refused helps from others. He said he felt encouraged(鼓励的) by kind helps, but he could depend on his own work.

Once we talk about snails (蜗牛), we will think of slow move. But much of the time snails don’t move at all. They’re in their shells（壳） — sleeping .
Hot sun will dry out a snail’s body. So in the hot sun, a snail draws its body into its shell and closes the opening with a thin cover. Then it goes to sleep. A snail will die in a heavy rain if it is outside of the shell.
