The money made from selling red noses goes to the charity． Red Nose Day takes place every two years in the spring and is now so well developed that many people consider it to be an unofficial national holiday． For example， many schools have non-uniform days．The slogan for the last RND was "Do Something Funny for Money" and the money collected was used to help fund projects in the following areas： treating malaria，education， maternal health and mental health． The BBC Red Nose Day telethonraised £ 74.3 million! Money-raising events take place all over the country and many schools join in． People also donate money by post， in banks， by phone using a credit card and online．Getting sponsored to do something is a common way to raise money on RND． If someone sponsors you it means that they agree to give you a certain amount of money for your actions． Here are some ways that people raise money： wear their pyjamas （睡衣） all day at work or in school， or grow a moustache or beard for a month．So， if you are ever in the UK on Red Nose Day， now you know why you may find normal people wearing red noses and doing silly things!

makes salad， fries and dumplings taste better，and you can even clean your windows with it． And now， according to scientists，it may even help the planet's population survive climate change． Researchers from the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science （CSRS） in Japan proved [that]． They found growing plants in vinegar makes them more resistant to droughts． This could mean that in the future， worries about climate change affecting the world's supply of food will be much lower．The discovery was made after the researchers studied the Arabidopsis， a plant known for its ability to survive in dry weather． It was found that when the plant was placed in drought-like conditions， it produced a chemical called acetate （醋酸盐）-the main component of vinegar．After discovering this， the scientists experimented further by adding acetate to the soil of other plants before they stopped giving them water completely． After leaving the plants for 14days， they found that the ones treated with acetate had survived， while the untreated plants had dried up and died．It's hoped that this simple method of survival could soon be used to help fannersin dry countries keep their crops alive． "In the experiment， we targeted the staple foods of the world-rice， wheat and maize…and proved successful" Jong Myong Kim， co-author of the study， told Popular Science magazine．Kim has already been in touch with people around the world who are interested in trying this simple and cost-effective method out for themselves from farmers to companies and amateur gardeners． "Now we are trying to cooperate with them to make a method to apply this system， and make the process as simple as possible，" he said． Hopefully this means the end of hunger caused by bad weather in the future．32． What does the
