Thank you for your listening.

Rain helps plants grow and stay green. But too much rain-especially in cities-can cause flooding. And that can make waste water systems, like sewers(下水道), flow and send polluted water into rivers and other water ways. So several cities in the United States are stating programs like rooftop(屋頂) gardens.

A team at the University of the District of Columbia has created a garden on the top of one school building.83The garden holds many kinds of plants to help receive rain water and grow food at the same time.

"It took advantage of the resource above the city that you see all over where you have these flat roofs that aren't doing anything and it really made it something that was about urban agriculture."

84Rainwater is collected in large bottles and sent through a system that waters the garden at the top of the roof. The roof is filled with green life that appeals(吸引) to insects.

"In cities, you don't have that much space, so rooftops are just unused space," says Caitlin Arlotta, a student in the school's Urban Agriculture program.

The program is growing plants including strawberries, tomatoes and sweet potatoes. "We have the same experiment running with tomatoes as we do with strawberries, so we're doing variety trials(品種實驗) and we're trying just to see which variety grows the best in a green roof setting."

The program also seeks to improve cities and make them beautiful by training people to become Master Gardeners.

It is the biggest surprise that they produced 4,250 pounds of products the first year and shared that to people in need.

Just now, an old photo reminded me of an unforgettable experience. When I was twelve years old, my family flew to America to go on a trip. The fantastic places of interest left me good memories. However, on the last day of the journey, I made a funny mistake.

That evening, my mother asked me to buy some food by myself. I ran to the supermarket happily. After a while, I put a few things, including a bag of bone-like biscuits, into the shopping basket that I had brought from home.

When I came back to the hotel, I asked my mom if she took pride in me. Suddenly, she started laughing loudly. I had no idea what had made her laugh so much. A few minutes later, she explained to me that the bag of biscuits was dog food. She looked at me and pointed at the English words on the bag, laughing again. At that moment, I felt so awkward(尷尬的) that my face turned red right off. And I realized that I could never be too careful.

As time goes by, I've forgotten a number of things, but this memory is still clear. Life won't be colorful unless we can find beauty in little things like this. Don't you think so?

The inspiration(靈感) to develop an app that would help Alzheimer's patients connect with their loved ones came to Yang at the age of 12,when her grandmother suffered from the similar illness.

"I wanted to create something to help people like my grandmother. I started learning coding(編碼) when I was around 6,and later began developing games and websites," Yang said.

"I think perseverance(堅持不懈) is really important," Yang said. "Never let anyone tell you that you shouldn't be in the field that you want to be in the most."
