31. Reading He raises vegetables
My grandfather loves to grow plants. He and fruits
raises vegetables and fruits, and he takes
great care of all of them. Last week,
Grandpa gave me some green bean
seeds. Now I can grow my own green
bean plant.

I brought my seeds home and showed my

mom. She helped me get my green bean
project ready. First, we put some soil in a
pot. Then we planted a few seeds. I
remembered that Grandpa told me that
plants depend on water and sunlight to
grow. So I put the pot in a sunny spot by
the window, and I added some water.

I checked on my plant every day. When

the soil felt dry, I added more water.
Today, I saw a tiny stem. The plant is
growing! Over the next few weeks, more
stems and leaves will grow. Then flowers
will grow, too.

What am I most excited about? I cannot

wait to eat the beans! I think they will
taste even better because I grew them
myself.

hate this cat treat? Catnip is a plant that
is used in teas and pet toys. Catnip
 strongly attracts cats. Now scientists have
learned that catnip drives mosquitoes
away.

Scientists coated one end of a clear tube

with catnip. Then they put 100
mosquitoes into the tube. After ten
minutes, 80 of the mosquitoes had flown
to the uncoated end of the tube.

Scientists say that catnip contains oil that

is stronger at fighting mosquitoes than
some chemicals in bug sprays. But now
the question is, will you become a cat
magnet if you use it?

of creatures, called arachnids. They're
insects' worst enemies. Although a few
species, such as the black widow and the
brown recluse, are dangerous, the
majority are harmless to humans.
Moreover, they can be helpful. Pest
control, for example is just one of the
many ways spiders can help us. Because
they kill far more pests than commercial
insecticides do. In the future, perhaps if
farmers employ armies of spiders to
protect their fields, our grocery bills will
be lower and our soil and water and food
 will have fewer pesticide remains.
