1．Big changes in agriculture are taking place in Singapore.The small，Southeast Asian nation is leading a farming revolution.
Singapore covers 724 square kilometers of land and only one percent of that land is used for agriculture.Food production costs are higher there than the rest of Southeast Asia.As climate change and population growth threaten food supplies，the pressure is on new farmers to answer the government's call-to grow more with less.
"Whenever I talk about food security in Singapore，I tell people not to think land-think space because you can go upwards and sideways."said Paul Teng，an agriculture professor at Nanyang Technological University.
There are more than 30 vertical（垂直的）farms in Singapore-ones that grow up not across the land.Sustenir Agriculture is one of these businesses.Its hydroponic（水栽法的）farm grows non-native foods like cherry，tomatoes and strawberries inside buildings under artificial lighting.Then it sells the produce to local supermarkets and online stores.Sustenir raised ＄16 million from investors（投資人）last year.The money will be used to expand operations in Singapore and open in Hong Kong.
However，not everyone thinks the new technology is best.Egg farmer Milliam Ho says the government should not depend so much on agriculture technology businesses. "Many of them have failed.That's why I'm always asking the government， 'Why don't you invest in us old-timers？' We are more practical，" he said.Professor Paul Teng said an issue for urban farmers is that the high cost of the technology makes their products too pricey for many people.

9．When I was about six years old，my family and I went to Disneyland one weekend and had a wonderful day full of excitement.Little did I know that the real excitement wasn't to begin until that night.
While we watched the fireworks，I began to get an urge to go to the restroom，but I didn't want to miss the show.I overheard my sister Isabel talking to my mom，and I got closer to them to hear what they were talking about.
"Mom，I'm going to the bathroom with Lizette，okay？" said Isabel.
"Okay，" my mom replied， "but stay together.I don't want any of you getting lost. "
The second I saw my sisters leaving，I didn't think twice before running after them—without telling my parents.As I followed them through the huge crowd of people，I started to lose sight of them.I began to panic as I scanned the crowd for them.Crazy thoughts ran through my head like "What if I never see my family again？"
I gave up trying to find my sisters and tried to get back to my family，but I was completely mixed up.After searching for what seemed like forever，I couldn't hold back my tears，and I started crying like I had never cried before.
"Mommy!" I cried out.But everyone around me was too caught up by the fireworks to pay any attention to me.
I tried to stop the scary thoughts that were going through my head and started running as fast as I could...anywhere...everywhere.I was going crazy.I'm only six，and
I've gotten lost. "What have I done？How could I have been so dumb to run off without telling anyone？" I thought.
With my face wet from tears，I kept running，pulling at people's pants and crying， "Mommy!" I was hoping，wishing，that one of these adults would be one of my parents.
