The taxi driver took the man everywhere. He showed him all the parks and museums in the city. In the evening they went back to the hotel.

Fifteen years ago，I drove a taxi for a living．One day I went to pick up a passenger at 2：40 A．M．When I arrived there，I walked to the door and knocked．"Just a minute，"answered a weak，elderly voice．
After a while，the door opened．A small woman stood before me．She was more than eighty years old．By her side was a big bag．
When we get into the taxi，she gave me an address，and then asked．"Could you drive through downtown？"
"It's not the shortest way．"I answered quickly．
"Oh，I'm in no hurry，"she said．"I'm on my way to a hospice （临终关怀医院）．I don't have any family left．The doctor says I don't have very long．"
I quietly reached over and shut off the meter （计程表）
For the next two hours，we drove through the city．She showed me the building where she had once worked，the neighborhood where she had lived，and the place where she had gone dancing as a girl．
Sometimes she'd ask me to slow down in front of a special building and would sit staring into the darkness，saying nothing．
We drove in silence to the address she had given me
"How much do I pay you？"she asked．
"Nothing．"I said．
"You have to make a living，"she answered．
"Oh，there are other passengers．"I answered．
Almost without thinking，I gave her a hug （拥抱）．She held on me and said．"You gave an old woman a moment of joy．"

You can't look at sunflowers and feel sad．Their big bright faces almost seem to be smiling at you on a summer day as they slowly turn toward the sun．Not only do the flowers make people happy，they also provide food for bees，birds and squirrels and many other small animals that love to eat the seeds（种子）．
Sunflower seeds aren't only delicious to animals．People love them，too．You can find bags of them in the stores．They tell you what kind of seeds they are and how they should be planted．
There are hundreds of different kinds of sunflowers．The biggest ones are Mammoth Russians．They grow to over 10 feet tall and produce big round heads with bright yellow petals （花瓣）that are over a foot across．They grow on strong thick stems （茎）with big heart﹣shaped leaves．The ripe seed heads sometimes get so heavy that they hang down．Other kinds of sunflowers，called dwarf，produce small stems and smaller flowers in colors such as light yellow and deep bright orange or red．
Sunflower is also a place in America．People there love sunflowers so much，so they named their place "Sunflower"．There are sunflowers everywhere．

In the future，we could all work and live in buildings with their own ecosystems（生态系统）．They are made to produce more energy than they use．
Toby is an engineer from Europe．He has now made wonderful models showing what this new building could look like．
He said he was suggested by a kind of tree to create the towers．The Hyperion，found in Northern California，is the tallest tree in the world，reaching 115m．The buildings will be 120m high and have 1000 homes，offices and working spaces，gyms，restaurants and swimming pools．
Because of the ecosystem，the buildings will also make fewer diseases．
The buildings will have city farms and small animal farms producing eggs and milk．"Farming can bring methane （甲烷）that produces energy，then the energy is supplied to homes，"said Toby．
