Do you plan to study at American University ?It takes a long time to get accepted at most
American schools，perhaps as much as a year．That’s why you should start choosing a school as soon as possible．It’s also a good idea to apply to several different schools，so that you’ll have a better chance of being accepted at one。You should start looking for information now ,because the more information you have about each college，the better choice you can make．
There are two good ways to get information you need．One is a general reference book，called Guide to American Colleges and Universities．The other good source(来源)of information is the catalogue(目录簿)published by each school．
You can study the general guide in almost any American library．This book has a lot of useful
information，such as the number of students，the average test score for people accepted to the school，and the number of books in the library．You can also find the address of each school in this book．
Although the general guidebook has helpful information，some of the facts may be out-of-date．For example，many school raise their tuition(学费)every year．Since you’ll need to know what your education will cost，out-of-date information will not be good enough．To be sure that you are getting the latest information，write to the university and ask for its catalogue．The catalogue not only has more detailed information．For example，the catalogue can tell you what kinds of courses are offered，and what kind housing there is in the school．Some universities have places for you to live in，but at others you have to find your own place to live．

Carrots are grown on farms and in small family gardens all over the world. They are easy to plant and harvest ( 收获 ）. They also have a good taste.
When people think about carrots, a picture of a long, thin, orange-coloured vegetable usually comes into their minds. But carrots come in many different sizes and shapes. And not all carrots are orange.
Carrots should be grown in sandy soil that does not hold water for a long time. The earth also should not be too hard. To prepare your carrot garden, dig up the earth and turn it over (翻土）.
Weather, soil, condition and time affect the taste of carrots. Warm days and cool nights are the best time to grow great delicious carrots.
The best way to decide if a carrot is ready to be harvested is by its colour. Usually, the brighter the colour is, the better the taste is.
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 you do during the summer months.
Carrots are prepared and eaten in many different ways. They are cut into thin pieces and cooked with other vegetables or meat. Or, they are washed, and eaten just as they come out of the ground.

No Car Day was first started by 34 cities in France on September 22, 1998. It was started to protect the environment. By now, more than 1,000 cities around the world have had a No Car Day.
The first No Car Day in China was in Chengdu in 2001. Other cities, including Taipai, Shanghai and Wuhan, also support the day.
In Beijing, more and more people are joining the campaign(运动). It asks drivers to leave their cars at home for one day each month and walk or ride a bike to work. It also calls on Beijingers not to use cars on June 5(World Environment Day). The slogan(口号) for the day is, “If we drive for one less day, we can have one more nice day.”
So far, more than 200,000 drivers have shown their support. “We can’t control the weather, but we can choose not to drive,” said Wu Zonghua, a car club chairman. Beijing is trying to have 238 blue sky days this year. In the first quarter of 2012, Beijing only had 52 blue sky days. This was 11 days less than the number for the same period the year before. Much of the dust comes from the desert, but cars cause most of the air pollution. We must do more for No Car Day.
