11、terial or animal fertilizer. 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.Carrots need time to develop their full sugar content. This gives them their

12、taste. But carrots loose their sweetness if you wait too long to remove them from the ground. The best way to judge if a carrot is ready to be harvested is by its color.

Then the father smiled at me as he handed me my tip. “Well done,” he said, “youve looked after us really well.” Suddenly my tiredness

18、disappeared. I smiled back, and later, when the manager asked me how Id liked my first day, I said, “Fine!” Those few words of praise had changed everything. Praise is like sunlight to human spirit; we cannot flower and grow without it. And yet, most of us are only too ready to apply to others the c

19、old criticism, but are unwilling to give our fellows the warm sunshine of praise. Perhaps that is why one word of praise can bring such pleasure.Its strange how chary we are about praising. Perhaps its because few of us know how to accept it. Its especially rewarding to give praise in areas in which

27、tanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the beginning, when I didnt understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind. This method usually resulted in confusion.

32、 without enthusiasm,” wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste that helps you hang in there when the going gets tough. It is the inner voice that whispers, “I can do it!” when others shout, “No, you cant!” It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist (遗传学家) who wo

This activity ended her depression that had troubled her for at least 30 years, and the quality of her

37、work led one critic to say, “I am persuaded to call Layton a genius.”We cant afford to waste tears on “might-have-been”.
