The seeds fell from their clothes onto the ground. Since then, dandelions have spread all over.Most people believe that dandelions are weeds. They do not wantthem in their gardens. But some people think that dandelion flowers arepretty. And others think that dandelions taste good. They cook dandelionleaves or put them into a fresh salad. The leaves must be picked before theflowers come out or they will not taste good. Some people make dandelionflowers into wine.Dandelions do not die easily. If the winter is not very cold, their leaves may stay green.When the spring arrives, their flowers come out. Each night their bright yellow flowers close up. When the sun shines the next day, they open up again. Dandelion flowers are very unusual. They do not have to get pollen (花粉) from another dandelion flower in order to form seeds. So after several days, the yellow flower turns white and soft. A tiny brown seed forms at the bottomof each white petal (花瓣). When the wind blows, the petals float away.Each white petal carries a seed away. This lets the dandelions spread their seeds all over.New dandelions grow where the seeds land.31.

For the young artist Alexandra Nechita, it never really seemed to be a question. From the day she began drawing at the age of two, she was an artist.Alexandra Nechita was born in Romania in 1985 and moved to California when she was still a baby. As a little child, she loved colouring in her colouring books. Her parents hoped she could spend more time playing with other children, so they took away her colouring books. Alexandra began drawing her own pictures and colouring them in.By the time Alcxandra was seven ycars old, she hadbegun painting with oil paints. When Alexandra took alocal art class, her teacher was amazed at the youngartist’s unusual style of painting. Alexandra’s work wassimilar in some ways to the paintings by famous artistslike Picasso. These artists did not use a realistic style ofpainting. They allowed their imaginations to play animportant part in their work. The interesting thing wasthat little Alexandra had never seen the work of these artists. People called her “Little Picasso”. This was a great honour, but Alexandra’s style of painting was all her own.Alexandra’s first public show was held at a Los Angeles public library when she wasonly eight years old. People were amazed at how young Alexandra was, but mostly they loved her imaginative artwork. It did not take long for Alexandra and her work to become famous. She appeared on television programs and in newspapers and magazines all over the world. The sale of a single piece can earn the young artist thousands of dollars. But that is not why Alexandra creates artwork. She just cannot imagine doing anything else that would bring her such joy and satisfaction.Today, Alexandra is a full-time artist. She also works to help support the arts in schools. Alexandra is a strong believer in the power of art as a tool of communication and a bridge to building peace throughout the world.34.
