    Most people may not think that there are any problems with watermelons (西瓜), but some Japanese
    sellers do. There is often wasted space when they store (贮存) watermelons, because round watermelons
    do not sit nicely on shelves. So some clever farmers have solved the watermelon problem. They make their
    watermelons grow in square glass boxes so the watermelons become square. The only problem now is the
    price. The square watermelons cost about 80 dollars each.
    Many people know the saying "Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet and so are you". Well, today
    the poem needs to change to "Roses are red, roses are blue"! Australian scientists have just recently discovered
    that when they put a chemical from a blue flower into a rose, they can create a nearly 100% blue rose. Some
    of science's inventions are beautiful, not just useful!
    Since the mid-1990s, many Chinese farmers have had amazing rice harvests. For many years Chinese
    scientists have been working on developing new kinds of stronger rice and now they have produced a new
    kind, called super rice. Super rice not only can protect itself against insects (昆虫) and diseases, but it also
    produces more than any other kind of rice. Today farmers can grow almost one and a half times more rice
    than they could grow in the past.
    Doctors might be able to use vegetables to fight cancer now. US scientists have discovered a way to put
    a chemical into tomato plants while they are growing. When cancer patients eat the tomatoes, the tomatoes
    will fight the cancer in their bodies. These cancer-fighting vegetables are not yet for sale, because scientists
    have not finished testing them. If study finds no problems with the tomatoes, then patients can begin to use
    this easy and delicious new treatment.
