It is easy to believe that the daily life of a plant is simple and boring. They seem to just stand there and sunbathe. In fact, plants are always busy doing many things. Measuring（估量）light is one of them. This activity helps plants to plan better for the future.
To start with, we should know how plants feel the light. In fact, there are some special proteins（蛋白质） in their cell（细胞）. Once receiving light, they will call on other cells to produce, resulting in the growth towards the light.
Then what can plants get from measuring the changes in the amount（量）of daylight? This helps them to tell what time of the year it is. If a plant is beginning to get more daylight, it knows it’s spring. Because of this, it may then start producing flowers.
If the amount of daylight starts to get low, the plant knows that autumn is coming. It may start to store “food” for its growth. For example, the potato plant will make tubers（块茎）—the potatoes that we eat.
Plants record not only the amount of daylight they receive, but also the quality（质量） of light. Some forms of light can help plants grow better. Direct sunlight, for example, works better than light that is being separated through the leaves of other plants. A plant can’t get the right form of light when it is prevented from getting light by other plants. It may then begin to grow taller or produce larger leaves in order to get more sunlight.

Doris has written a restaurant review on the Internet．
Excellent English food at the Country House
Last Saturday night，my family and I ate at the Country House．
The Country House serves traditional English food，we paid about 15 to 20 pounds a person to eat
there．
The food was wonderful．The fish pie reminded me of my grandma．She used to cook it for me．I also
had some fish and chips，and it was fantastic．
The waiters were polite，but a little slow．We were seated at 7 p．m．，but we did not receive our food
until 7：40 p．m．
I would certainly recommend the Country House for good，traditional English food．However，you should get there early and be prepared to spend a lot of time waiting for your food．
