Isn't spring a beautiful season？ Flowers of all colors and shapes can be seen everywhere． They make our world look and smell better． So， it is no surprise that people love flowers! Well…except for one﹣dandelions（蒲公英）!
In order to have a tidy garden， we try our best to kill all dandelions or dig them out﹣only to see these unwanted plants grow right back． But that's not bad because we have good reasons to leave them alone．
In fact， a 2014 study lists dandelions as one of the top 41 healthiest foods． Dandelions are full vitamins （维生素）K， A，E and C． They have long been used as medicine．
Another great thing about dandelions is that you can eat every part of them， either cooked or uncooked． You can also put flowers or roots （根） in hot water to make dandelion tea． Great! Nothing goes to waste!
Besides， dandelions are fun for kids! Pick the white top， close your eyes， make a wish and blow! If you blow all of it off in one breath， your wish will come true! This game is played all over the world．
Still unwanted plants？ Of course not! Dandelions are good for human health as well as our kitchen． They also provide kids with free toys! So next time when you are blowing them， blow harder ﹣you're helping this great plant grow in the wild， even if your own wish does not come true!

In Jinzhong， Shanxi Province， there is a group of people who are busy drawing maps around． They are not workers on geography， but dispatchers（调度员） on Emergency（急救） Center of the city．
Since 2007， the dispatchers in the center have been drawing maps of the local areas．
"A dispatcher's job is counted in seconds，" says Liang Ruimei， a dispatcher in the center． She has been working in the center since it started in 2007． "We must answer the phone in 3 seconds， get clear information about the patient in 60 seconds and dispatch（调度） emergency medical workers in 3 minutes at most． If we save one second， the patient may have a better chance to live．"
Although nowadays the center has electronic maps， the dispatchers still walk through the streets to draw maps by hand．
After many years' hard work， the dispatchers keep every building and street of the city in mind． They even know whether or not a car can enter the gate of a building． Sometimes the caller can't tell clearly where he is， but it doesn't matter． As long as he describes the buildings around， the dispatcher can dispatch emergency medical workers to him．
"We are trying to be quicker than Death，" says Liang．
