TEHERAN: Iran yesterday ignored growing international pressure to free 15 British sailors and marines, saying London should change its attitude over the nine-day standoff.
Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki was quoted as saying on state television yesterday: “Iran is waiting for a change in Britain’s attitude and a balanced stance(姿态) over our legal demands for apology.”

German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who holds of the European Union presidency, yesterday repeated the EU’s support for Britain, in her speech in Jerusalem. “I repeat here that Britain has the full unity of the European Union in this matter. We de mand the quick free of the 15 soldiers”, she was quoted as saying.

Did you know that vegetables can grow in the climates they are not used to? Cool climate vegetables like asparagus (芦笋) are now able to be grown in places as hot as Hawaii. In Hawaii, marine (海的)engineers have been able to actually let you believe such vegetables that they are living in cooler climates. In that way they grow faster and taste better. What these engineers have been using is very simply cold sea water. How did they use it? They place pipes in the soil and cold water flowing through them cools the earth. This causes plant growth and enables gardeners in tropical climates to grow crops from cooler climates. Also some of these pipes are exposed to the air and they make the air “wet” and thus water the gardens. What e specially makes people happy about this process is that nothing to the natural conditions is being used. Another new use for cold ocean water is to cool buildings. Engineers believe that for example the entire west coast of the United States could be air-conditioned using seawater.
68. What does the new system enable the gardeners to do?
A. Water the field with seawater.
B. Grow asparagus in hot places.
C. Grow cool climate vegetables in hot areas.

B. How to grow crops in tropical climates.
