Modern organic（有机的）farming was developed as a response to the environmental harm caused by the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers（化肥）in conventional agriculture, and it has plenty of ecological benefits（生态效益）. In other words, the idea behind organic farming is to use no chemicals. Farmers must use natural methods to make plants grow strong and protect them from insects. It is believed that without chemicals, these plants will make better food for humans. But the idea is bigger than that. Organic farming respects all plants and animals in the environment. This kind of farming should improve nature’s health.

Fertilizers are chemicals that give plants strength. If a farmer grows the same plant over and over in the same place, the soil will lose its ability to feed the plant. The farmer must add fertilize to help the soil. Organic farmers do not add fertilizer. They will rotate crops（轮作谷物）or use animal manure and plant compost（堆肥）to make the soil rich again. Compost is made from plant material that has broken down into soil. It has all the food a plant needs to grow.

Pesticides are also avoided. These are chemicals that kill pests like bad insects or animals. Organic farmers have other ways to deal with pests because pesticides kill good animals and insects that protect the plants. Foxes and snakes eat the mice. Some insects like ladybirds eat the bad insects. And of course, there are weeds（杂草）. These are the plants that farmers do not want because they steal growing space from the good plants. To stop weeds, organic farmers can scrape（刮除）the soil several times. Eventually, the weeds will die.

Organic farming usually needs a lot of human labour to do the job of chemicals. This is one reason that organic food costs more. But when we think about the health of the earth, its plants, and its animals, perhaps it is worth it. In the end, a healthy planet means that we will be healthy as well.

In order to find the box of money that Injun Joe buried, they tried their best. One morning, Tom took Huckleberry to a quiet place and told him that he knew it was never in room number two and it was in the caves.

“I will help you get it out. But I don’t want to get lost there! We won’t get lost because I know an easy way to get in there. I’m the only one who knows it, Huck.”

They got some bread and meat, some string, some bags, and some candles. They borrowed a boat from somebody who wasn’t around. Then they went down the river to the hole where Tom had got out of the caves. The hole was covered in bushes, but Tom remembered exactly where it was.   

“It’s a great hiding place,” said Hucklebery.

They went into the caves. Tom was soon back at the spring where he had stayed. Then he and Huckleberry went to where he had seen Injun Joe. He held up his candle, and they saw a big cross on the wall.

“Number two, under the cross!” said Tom. “That’s what he said.”

Huckleberry was afraid. “Tom, let’s get out. What if Injun Joe’s ghost comes?”

“No, ghosts don’t want money! Anyway, Injun Joe died five miles from here. It’s too far.” Huckleberry agreed. They got to the cross and began to look under it. It didn’t take long for them to find the wooden box with the money. It was very heavy. They couldn’t hoist it. They took the money out of the box and put it into the bags. The bags were easier to carry. They got out of the caves and went back into the boat.

“Haha, we are rich now.” Huckleberry laughed. “I can buy delicious food, new clothes and even anything I want. I won’t go to school any more.”

Soon they were back in St. Petersburg. When the Welshman saw them come back safely, he hugged them and made them go to Widow Douglas’s house. There were many people there. Widow Douglas gave both boys new clothes to change into. Huckleberry didn’t like being with so many people and wanted to leave, but Tom made him stay. The Welshman made a speech and told everybody how Huckleberry had helped to catch Injun Joe. With tears filled in eyes, Widow Douglas said she was going to give them some money if they really hated school so that they could start a business when they were older. Although they all knew that she lived a hard life herself.

After hearing this, Tom felt their deep love and made a decision. Then he told them that the didn’t need any money because they already had a lot. He showed everyone the bags with the money. They were amazed to look at the bags full of money.

“Huck,” Tom said,“All the neighbours gave us a lot of care and help although they met a lot of difficulty. That’s the real treasure in our life. I think we should give the money to people in need. And we have to go to school to work hard for our future. I’m with you.”

“That’s better.” Huckleberry agreed.

Tom made him promise and wrote his name in blood.

In honor of international Women’ Day Chinese astronaut Wang Yaping sent a message to the women of the world from the Chinese space station.

Space has never changed its environment or lowered its level because of the arrival of women. There is already a lot of flight data telling us, there were no great differences in the ability between men and women. We can all complete the same training and assessment. And many physical and psychological characteristics of women can play an advantage in space. This is helpful for successfully completing the challenges. With the development of aerospace technology and commercial (商业的) aerospace, it has become increasingly common for women to take part in spaceflight. I hope all girls guard your space dreams of going to the sea of stars. One day, before you know it, when you look up, you will see that your dream is already within reach. It is possible that more and more women will take part in manned spaceflight missions (载人航天飞行任务). It will have a very important influence on the large-scale (大规模) and long-term human exploration of space in the future. It will make our careers in space exploration develop quickly and continuously. This also helps to encourage women to go after their dreams bravely and achieve a wonderful life. Ladies, although our nationalities, ethnicities (种族) and careers are different, but women all over the world are making the world more lively, more harmonious and warmer through their own efforts. I would like to take this opportunity to thank every female for their selfless contribution. I also wish every female would pick the brightest stars for the lives and careers they love in their own starry sky.
