2022-05-12 22:09:51 This is a story of a seeker of Truth, the story of Salman the Persian, gleaned, to begin with, from his own words:

I grew up in the town of Isfahan in Persia in the village of Jayyan. My father was the Dihqan or chief of the village. He was the richest person there and had the biggest house.

Since I was a child my father loved me, more than he loved any other. As time went by his love for me became so strong and overpowering that he feared to lose me or have anything happen to me. So he kept me at home, a veritable prisoner, in the same way that young girls were kept...

2022-03-18 20:12:19 Milk from lab – level 3

In the US, 10% – 15% of milk is made from nuts or soy; however, laboratory-produced dairy products are now becoming popular.

Dairy alternatives have a long history, and scientists have created a non-plant based milk. It uses a combination of some new and old technologies, in which genetically engineered microbes create milk proteins. Then, scientists put the proteins into large fermentation bioreactors to create animal milk protein. The result is similar to real animal milk protein; however, the process involves no animals.

This alternative to real dairy has environmental benefits than traditional dairy or some of the existing alternatives, as well as its match on the taste and texture of real milk. Unlike traditional dairy, it requires no cows; they create gas and pollute water. Also, it avoids ethical concerns about animals treatment in industrial farms.

Difficult words: genetically engineered microbes (bacteria that scientists created or changed), protein (the structure if a set of cells), fermentation bioreactor (a device that makes a chemical process to change a food or drink).

2022-03-18 20:09:53 Milk from lab – level 2

Many people don’t drink cow’s milk, and they prefer other alternatives. These days, you can to drink milk which is made from nuts, soy, or even potatoes.

Many people don’t like the taste of nut or soy milk, and they also worry about the bad effects of plant-based milk on the natural world.

Scientists created a new milk with real milk parts in it, but cows didn’t make it. Scientists use genetically modified microbes, which make the milk parts. They make milk, which tastes and feels the same as real cow’s milk.

Some people worry about how farmers keep animals on big farms. These animals never see the sun, and they have little space. These animals have bad effects on the natural world, and for some people, it is the reason why they don’t drink cow’s milk.

Difficult words: alternative (another thing which is possible, or which someone can choose), plant-based (food which comes from plants), genetically modified microbe (a small animal that scientists change).

2022-03-18 20:08:01 Milk from lab – level 1

Most people drink cow’s milk. Some people like milk from plants. Such milk comes from plants like nuts or soy.

Nut and cow milk make bad problems on the natural world. Also, farmers keep many animals in little space. Many people don’t like these problems. They don’t drink cow’s or nut milk.

Scientists make a new milk. It has real milk protein. Cows do not make it.

Scientists make it in special containers. They use genetically modified organisms. These organisms make the protein. This milk tastes the same as cow’s milk. It is better for the natural world and the cows.

Difficult words: soy (a plant which farm animals and people eat; people often eat soy or soy products instead of meat), protein (a part of all living things, which makes muscles, hair, and so on), genetically modified organism (when scientists in the laboratory change information in a plant or animal).

2022-02-26 06:44:56 Moonflower – level 3

A rare Amazonian cactus called Selinecereus, or the moonlight cactus, has bloomed for what botanists believe is the first time in the UK.

The plant is naturally found in Central America, the Caribbean, and northern South America, and it has white flowers that only last a single night in most species. It is cultivated only in 13 botanic gardens in the world.

Experts at Cambridge University´s Botanic Garden kept a night watch throughout the week so that they didn´t miss the flowering of the moonlight cactus, an event that usually begins at sunset and it is over by sunrise. The ‘moonflower’ actually bloomed earlier on Saturday afternoon at around 3 pm, and the garden said that it was 28 centimeters long.

The strongly desired flower produces a sweet-smelling scent that turns rancid after just two hours as the plant begins to die.

Difficult words: botanist (a scientist who studies plants), cultivated (grown and looked after), rancid (smelling or tasting unpleasant as a result of being old).

2022-02-26 06:36:34 Moonflower – level 2

Selinecereus is a special cactus that naturally grows in Central and South America. People sometimes call it the ‘moonflower’ because it blooms only for one night.

Only 13 botanic gardens in the world grow this plant, and last week, it bloomed in the UK. Botanists were very excited because it happened in the UK for the first time. Botanists at Cambridge University did not sleep all week, and they watched the plant all the time. They did not want to miss the chance to see the 28-centimeter flower.

The flower smells very strongly and sweetly, but when the plant begins to die, the smell changes and it is very unpleasant.

Difficult words: cactus (a plant which has sharp ends and it usually grows in hot and dry places), bloom (when a plant makes flowers), botanist (a person who studies plants).

Baby zebras can stand within 15 minutes of being born, and they can learn to walk within an hour to be able to survive in the wild.

Difficult words: exhibit (a place where animals live inside of a zoo).
