Food for astronauts has always been a problem. US scientists hope to grow vegetables in mini-green-
-houses on the Moon in order to provide astronauts with fresh vegetables in the future.
The plan is to send a small greenhouse into space in 2012. The greenhouse will contain cabbage seeds. Since this kind of vegetable can go from seed to flower in just 14 days, it can complete its life cycle in just one night on the Moon.
The Moon greenhouse plan has been compared to an experiment at the South Pole. The
South Pole greenhouse, now in its fifth year, allows workers liv-ing in the coldest place on Earth to have tomatoes, let-tuce, strawberries and herbs.
“Living on the Moon seems so far away, but it is important that we do this research now,” said Jane Poynter, the president of Paragon, a company that works with NASA.

All over the world, mention of English education suggests a picture of “public schools”, in particular certain very famous institutions—Eton, Oxford and Cambridge. However, people do not always realize what place these institutions occupy in the whole educational system.
Oxford and Cambridge are universities, each having about 12,000 students out of a total of over 25,000 students attending all British universities. Eton is a public school, and the best known of the public schools, which, in spite of their names, are not really public at all, but independent and private secondary schools taking boys and girls from the age of thirteen to eighteen years. The public schools in reality form a very small part of the whole system of secondary education; only about one out of forty English boys and girls goes to a public school, and one out of 1,500 goes to Eton.
