Usually they get these important nutrients (营养) from the rich soil (土壤) in which theyre planted. But theres another way to grow plants that doesnt use oil. Its called hydroponic gardening.“Hydroponic” means “working with water.” In a hydroponic garden, plants grow with their roots in water, not in dirt. The water is filled with special food for the plants that gardeners have carefully measured and prepared.Hydroponic plants grow quickly. In ordinary gardens, plants need time and energy to grow long roots that search the soil for food and water. In a hydroponic garden, plants can use their energy to grow tall instead. And because there is no soil, there are no weeds and few insect pests (害虫). Gardeners dont need to spray (喷洒) plants with dangerous chemicals. Both the plants and the environment stay healthy.Scientists hope that, one day, hydroponic gardens may be able to help hungry people all over the world grow enough food-even in countries that have bad soil, or weather that is too hot, too cold, or too dry. And astronauts hope to take hydroponic gardens with them on the spaceships they fly to Mars, so that they will always have fresh vegetables-and the fun of growing a garden without dirt.11.

Inside, poets, writers and members of the public gathered around long wooden tables drinking, thinking, writing and discussing literature into the night. On the wall, near where the Starbucks community notice board now stands, was the white marble (大理石) head of a lion with wide-open mouth. The public was invited to feed it with letters and stories. The best of the lions digest (文摘) were published in a weekly edition of Joseph Addisons Guardian newspaper, named “the roaring of the lion”.Today, few people know Buttons. Its just one of Londons forgotten coffeehouses.Londons first coffeehouse was opened by a Greek named Pasque Rosee in 1652.
