The sun was setting and the farm would be closing soon. I dressed our three daughters
quickly as my husband started the van. Cutting down our own Christmas-tree had been a family
tradition. As our family grew, so did our excitement for going out to find the perfect tree.
As we walked through the rows of trees, my youngest daughter Kimberly shouted excitedly,
“There it is, the perfect tree!” The other two agreed. My husband and I looked at each other,
puzzled. Its branches were misshapen and the trunk was visible through the spots where there
were no pine needles.
We tried to persuade our daughters into changing their minds, but in vain. We had to tie the
tree to the roof of our van and headed home. As we reached our house, Heather jumped out first.
Suddenly she shouted, “The tree isn’t there!” We thought she was kidding. However, it wasn’t
there.
The girls were so disappointed. “We’ll get another tree tomorrow”, I said, secretly hoping the
new tree would be prettier. But the girls gave us the look that no parent could resist. We had no
choice but to go back and find that tree.
After driving for about five minutes, we saw our tree on the side of the road. As we got
closer, it was apparent that it had been run over by a truck. As we lifted the tree, we saw that a big
part of the tree was ripped off, but we took our little broken tree home anyway.
That night, as we decorated our tree, something magical happened. We didn’t realize it at that
time that we were making a very special family memory. By the time we were done, I had to
admit, it didn’t look sad at all. This is the best tree we have ever had. “It’s perfect!” my second
daughter Samantha said excitedly. My husband and I couldn’t have agreed more!
Now we always recall that little broken tree! Year by year, we tell the story of that very
special Christmas almost twenty-five years ago.

Teaching the next generation is an effective way to change the future. A nonprofit in Israel
has taken this to heart by greening schools with soilless farming. It is called Startup Roots, which
is teaching students about hydroponics (水培), and as a result, they are learning nutrition and
science.
“Many children think that vegetables come from the grocery store. They have no concept of
the chain behind it. So we try to connect kids with the source of their food,” said Robin Katz,
founder of this organization. Katz started it in 2014 realizing that many children have no access to
fresh, healthy and affordable produce. She was drawn to hydroponics because this system uses 90
percent less water and grows more plants per meter than traditional farming.
Their first project created a soilless farm using just 100 square meters of a school. They
started out by growing 14 plants per meter. The students were excited to see results in just 30 days
and were soon able to produce 1500 vegetables per month!
Working with science teachers, the organization guides students to learn science and
nutrition. In addition, it has brought in nutritionists to teach the effect that food choices have on
health. It soon improved their methods by fixing vertical farming systems. Since then, their
production has improved greatly, resulting in the production of 120 plants per meter.
In order to educate the general population, the organization is also working to create an
interactive urban agriculture exhibit, which is transforming students by turning them into
interactive learners. More youth have become so fascinated by the process, they are eagerly
researching plant seeds and are growing plants.
“There is no greater pleasure than to watch students grow by growing,” said Katz. Aside from
producing organic vegetables in schools, the organization is planting roots in this young
generation, inspiring them to lead healthier and more environmentally-friendly lives.
8. Why did Robin Katz show interest in hydroponics?
A. It took less land than traditional farming.
B. It caused no damage to the environment.
C. It was easy to produce good vegetables.
D. It saved water and had a higher yield.
9. What can we learn about the first soilless farm?
A. It produced 120 plants per meter. B. It relied on vertical farming systems.
C. It produced vegetables in a month. D. It was designed by science teachers.
10. What is the final influence of the new farming system?
A
.
Students will grow better plants. B. Students will change their lifestyle.
C. Students will protect environment. D. Students will eat organic vegetables.
