The tomato is from South America. When the tomato first came to Europe, people did not eat it. People grew tomatoes just because they looked nice.
Now people from all over the world eat tomatoes. Tomatoes are used in sauce, soup, juice, salad, and ketchup. The tomato is very good for you.
People do unusual things with tomatoes. People grow tomatoes in space (太空). There is a big tomato fight (大战) every year in Spain. A long time ago, people would throw a bad tomato when they saw a show they did not like.
People grow tomatoes on big farms in Canada. The farms bring in workers from other countries to help grow tomatoes. Without these workers, the farms could not run. But the workers do not get much money.
Most farms pick tomatoes before they are fully grown. They stay fresh longer in this way. But these tomatoes do not taste (尝起来) good. So lots of people grow tomatoes themselves.
Tomatoes that you grow are better than tomatoes that you buy. You can grow tomatoes in your house if (假如) you do not have a garden.
You need:
●Tomato seeds (种子)
●A big pot(盆)
●Potting soil (土壤)
●A window
Fill the pot with potting soil. Put a seed on top of the soil. Put a bit more soil on top. Then water the pot.
Seeds like to be warm. Put your pot in a warm place. It does not need sun yet.
The plant will grow above the soil. Put the plant by a window. The plant needs four hours of sun a day. Always keep the soil a bit wet.
Pick the tomatoes when they are red. Enjoy!

In Hunan or Sichuan, hot food is people’s favorite; however, people in Shanghai or Suzhou eat sweet dish almost every day.
But even if people live in the same part of the country, their tastes (口味) are not always the same. Old people and young ones have different tastes; men and women also have their different preferences (喜好). In a restaurant, some customs order thick and heavy soup, while others drink thin and clear one. A few people only eat vegetables. They do not eat fish or chicken at all!

Yoga started in India. And it is an important part of Indian culture. Indian primary and high school students have yoga lessons at school.
