When I first met Bud, I knew we were going to be friends, even though he was white and I was black. We first met at the All-City

Chorus. 1 We stood side by side in the chorus, and he always made me look good, even if I missed a note.

Bud went to an all-white high school in a beautiful, all-white neighborhood. There were very few big buildings in his community. As a matter of fact, you would have to walk four or five blocks to get to the nearest shopping center. 2 In his basement, he had a complete mini-gym. In his bedroom, he had a nice desk, complete with reference books and his own little TV on which he could play his video games.

3 My family lived in a nice apartment in an all-black housing project. Our project housed many families, so we were used to living in small crowded houses.

4 There were all kinds of stores nearby. For beauty, we had basketball courts and the rose garden in front of the project building.

We were never jealous or looked down on one another, either. We both felt we had lost something because we lived in worlds set apart from others. Bud's only contact (接触) with blacks of his age was in the All-City Chorus. 5 And it was not as interesting as it would have been if he had grown up with people of different groups and races living together. I felt the same way. Both races could learn a great deal from one another, and I knew this because Bud and I surely did learn from each other.

A. Bud's house was another point of interest.

B. Because of this, he felt his life was sheltered.

C. We never had to walk far to the nearest store.

D. My home and neighborhood were totally different.

E. People said we both had the same kind of personality.

F. I could sing a little, but Bud really had a very good voice.

G. After practice, the two of us would always go to McDonald's.

If you are a do-it-yourself type of person, then learning how to build a greenhouse will provide you with a lot of satisfaction. You might want to build a greenhouse in order to protect your plants during the time the weather is extremely cold, or you may simply want to get an early start for the spring. 1

The first thing you need to do is check your local laws. Do you need to get a building permit? Do you have to have your greenhouse plans first approved before you start building? 2

Once you decide to build your greenhouse, you will need to determine what materials to purchase. Usually the greenhouse covering is constructed from polycarbonate (聚碳酸酯), glass, plastic, or fiberglass. 3 The frame will usually be made from wood or plastic piping.

Usually a larger greenhouse is called a hothouse or glasshouse. A smaller unit is referred to as a cold frame. 4 At the same time, you have to consider the budget you have available for materials, tools, and so forth.

Whatever you do, it is wise to have some kind of understanding of how to build a greenhouse before you begin. 5 You can also check out a how-to book from your local library or bookstore. However, if you are not certain about how to do it, then you might want to buy a greenhouse
