Farms Appear in Cities
When you hear the
word‘‘farm”
, you may imagine the
countryside with cows
and
cr
ops.
（
1
）
But
scientists
say
the
farms
of
the
future
could
be
built
in
tall
buildings
in some large cities.
It
may
be
difficult
to
believe
but
in
fact
the
technology
for
growing
crops
indoors already exists. Farming in the
city is already happening.
（
2
）
Some vegetables
are
already
grown
in
greenhouses.
Even
the
scientists
at
the
South
Pole
research
station can enjoy
fresh vegetables they grow in their own greenhouse
.
（
3
）
Experts
say
indoor
farming
solves
many
problems.
First,
traditional
farming
1
takes up a lot of land. Growing crops
in tall buildings-called vertical
farming
（垂直农
业）
can
solve the problem.
（
4
< br>）
Also, and vegetables
grown indoors would not face
serious
threats from insects and bad weather.
（<
/p>
6
）
Though vertical farms don't exist yet,
experts have created a plan for recycling in
such farms. The water from
indoor fish ponds would be used to water crops.
Gases
from
crop
waste
would
be
used
to
heat
the
building.
Waste
from
chicken
or
pigs
would be reused as a source of energy.<
/p>
（
7
）
But experts believe vertical farming is
not going to be easy.
（
8
）
They say it can
be
difficult
to
control
climate
conditions
indoors.
Besides,
plants
differ
in
their
weather and lighting needs.
（
9
）
For
example. Some plants like warm, sunny weather,
but other plants prefer cooler
temperatures.
T
hat’s
not
to
say
these
difficulties
won’t
be
overcome—
but
it
will
take
time.
Most experts suggest it may take about
5 to 15 years before the first vertical farms
could be created.

A Good Lesson
After living in Europe for seven years,
my parents decided that my family would
move to the United States. We all
looked forward to this. What would people think of
us? For me, I hoped to be the hero of
the class.
I was not disappointed.
All my classmates admired my
experience, and I quickly
became well
known as “the French guy”
（
.
1
）
I
was very popular for a time. However,
I
was
not
interested
in
many
things
my
classmates
did,
and
it
was
hard
for
me
to
connect
with
them.
I
enjoyed
listening
to
classical
music,
never
watched
TV,
and
almost never watched
movies.
I
did
not
have
a
common
background
with
my
friends
because
I
grew
up
in
Europe. I
was a bit of an idiot to many people around
me.
（
3
）
I kept talking proudly
about
my experience.
And I thought
myself better than those around me because I
lived in Europe but they didn’t.
（
2
）
I had decided I wanted better friends
when my parents said that we were gong
to move again! I saw this as a perfect
chance to get better friends, where people did
not know of my unkind past.
When we moved to California, I did not
show off as I had done for five years.
（
4
）
I
did not tell everyone that I lived in Europe. I
till listened to classical music, but I just
kept my music to myself. Sure enough, I
found that people like someone who is not
typical but does not boast about it.
Nothing can replace good friends, and
if I had to control my temper and pride, it
was well worth
it.
（

5
French guy”

12.I had few good friends partly

family

because
I
lived
in
Europe
