A successful businessman was growing old and knew it was time to choose a successor(继任者) to take over the business.

29 choosing one of his children, he decided to do something different. He called all the young executives(主管) in his company together, and said, “ I will give each one of you a(n) 30

today. I want you to plant the seed, water it, and 31 here one year from today with what you have grown from the seed. I will then 32 your plants, and the one I choose will be the next CEO.”

Jim was there that day and he also received a seed. He went home 33 , and got a pot, some soil and planted the seed. Every day, he watered it and 34 to see if it had grown, but nothing ever grew.

Time flew, and it was time to 35 their plants to the boss. When Jim arrived, he was 36

the variety of plants grown by the other executives. They were all 37 ——in all shapes and sizes.

Britain’s seed bank, the only one in the world aiming to collect all of the planet’s wild plant species, has reached its goal of banking 10 percent by 2010.

The Millennium Seed Bank Project, run by Kew Gardens—one of the oldest botanical gardens—will officially deposit the 24,200th species on Thursday, a pink, wild banana from China.

More than 50 countries are now on board with Kew's giant task but vast places of the globe, including India and Brazil, still need to join in and donate seeds, director Paul Smith said.

The seed bank is one of the largest and most diverse in the world with more than 1.5 billion seeds. Its goal is to help protect the planet’s bio-diversity during a time of climate change.

The wild banana seed is under threat of extinction(灭绝) in southwest China from agricultural development. It is a vital food source for Asian elephants and important for growing bananas for human consumption.

Stored at minus-20 degrees centigrade, so they can last for thousands of years, the seeds await the day that scientists hope never comes—when the species no longer exist in the wild.

It is a race against time, Smith said, because in the last decade alone, 20 plants held in the bank have already been wiped out in the wild. He estimates that between a third and a quarter will become extinct this century.

"It is urgent and it is happening now. An area, the size of England, is cleared of primary vegetation（植被）every year." Smith said.

Because most of the world's food and medicines come from nature, protecting wild plant species is quite important, scientists say. There are already many other seed banks safeguarding food crops, which only account for 0.6 percent of plant diversity.

For Kew's next goal—to collect a quarter of wild varieties by 2020—the botanists need 10 million pounds a year, or a further 100 million pounds on top of the 40 million they have already been granted.

What’s the final purpose of the Britain’s seed bank?

A. To collect enough money for the project. B. To safeguard food crops.

C. To protect wild plants from extinction. D. To help scientists study wild plants.

The wild banana seed in China is in danger because of _______.

A. the expanding of farming work B. the climate change in this area

Howard Dill is a giant among giant pumpkin(南瓜) growers. He grew world champion pumpkins for four years running，from 1979 to 1982, and missed winning the fifth year by only 5 pounds. Today, his Dill Atlantic Giant seeds are sold worldwide to more than 50 seed companies. The pumpkins grown from his Dill Atlantic Giant seeds commonly weigh in at over 1,000 pounds. “I don’t have any training in genetics(遗传学); it was all trial and error,” Dill says. He got his love of pumpkins from his father and has enjoyed growing them for years.

Dill still grows giant pumpkins, but not for competition. In the fall, visitors come to enjoy the pumpkins on his 90-acre farm in Nova Scotia, Canada. He plants ten acres of pumpkins for Halloween and two acres of giant pumpkins. One of giant pumpkins was recently baked into 442 pumpkin pies and sold at $5 each for charity.

It you want to try growing a giant pumpkin, Dill recommends starting with a soil test and then adding fertilizer(农药) as needed. Plant the giant pumpkin seed. A giant pumpkin can gain 15 to 20 pounds a day, so careful watering—every day or two—is necessary. You should wait about 130 days until the pumpkin matures and then you can harvest it.

Dill’s favorite pumpkin set the Guinness Book record in 1981. It weighted 493.5 pounds. “I’ve grown them larger since, but that one meant a lot,” he remembers. “I never would have imagined ten

years ago that there would be a 1,000-pounder, but there are many of them now,” says Dill. The 2006 world record holder is Larry Checkon of Pennsylvania. He grew a 1,469 pounder. Dill says, “These world champions are grown from my seeds, so I feel like a winner right along with them.”

_72_ If we plant a good seed, we get in a good harvest; if our seed is poor and the field is full of weeds,we get in a useless crop; if we plant nothing at all, we get in nothing at all.

The future is before us and dynamic. _75_ Each day will bring it with new frontiers, in our homes and in our business, if we will only recognize them. We are just at the beginning of the progress in every field of human effort.

We should never forget the rapid change in the past few years.

We are all in the position of the farmer.

Everything we can do will affect it.

We whould not let our past mistakes and errors damage it.
