Carrots are grown on farms and in family gardens throughout the world.Carrots are easy to raise and easy to harvest.They taste good.And they contain a lot of carotene(胡萝卜素), which the body changes into vitamin A.
When people think of carrots, they usually picture in their mind a vegetable that is long, thin and orange in color.But carrots come in many different sizes and shapes.And not all carrots are orange.For example, Paris Market carrots are about five centimeters around.Imperator carrots are thin and about twenty－five centimeters long.And Belgian White carrots are, as their name suggests, white.
For the best results, carrots should be grown in sandy soil that does not hold water for a long time.The soil also should have no rocks.Weather, soil conditions and age will affect the way carrots taste.Experts say warm days, cool nights and a medium soil temperature are the best conditions for growing carrots that taste great.
The best way to judge if a carrot is ready to be harvested is by its color.Usually, the brighter the color, the better the taste.
Most people do not know that carrots can be grown during the winter months.If the winter is not cold enough to freeze the ground, you can grow and harvest carrots the same way as during the summer months.
Carrots are prepared and eaten in many different ways.They are cut in thin pieces and added to other vegetables.They are cooked by themselves or added to stews.Or, once they are washed, they are eaten just as they come out of the ground.
【语篇解读】 胡萝卜是一种维生素含量丰富、非常受欢迎的蔬菜。我们常见的胡萝卜形状通常为细而长的锥状体，一般为橙色。如果想种出产量高、味道好的胡萝卜，天气、土壤、时间等条件都很重要。

11－year－old child prodigy(神童) Tanishq Abraham is in the news for graduating from college with not one, not two, but three different degrees.The talented kid from California made headlines last year as well, for completing high school at the age of ten and earning a congratulatory letter from President Barack Obama.And now, just a year later, he's finished college with three degrees.
Last week's graduation ceremony at the American River College in Sacramento was attended by Tanishq's parents—his mother Taji, a vet, and his father Bijou, a software engineer.They cheered for Tanishq as he was awarded degrees in math and physical sciences, general science, and language studies.
Tanishq told Chinadaily that he wasn't panic by the fact that his classmates were all twice his age.“A lot were really happy that there was a kid in their class，” he said.And his parents were pretty low－key(低调的) about the whole affair, being used to all his accomplishments since a young age.“Even in kindergarten, he was a few years ahead，” Taji told Chinadaily.“He finished a Calculus(微积分) course at the age of five.”
Interestingly, Tanishq has been home－schooled by his mother.He's also been taking classes at the American River College since he was seven years old.He joined Mensa International，a group of people whose IQ is in the top two percent of the population，at the age of four.
You'd think that Tanishq is probably done with books for his life, but he actually has no plans to stop learning.“I want to become a doctor，” he told China Daily after the ceremony.“But I also want to become a medical researcher, and also the president of the United States.” He revealed that he hopes to win the Nobel Prize some day in medicine or research.
