Not all vegetables need lots of sunshine. Mar Hoffman and his wife, Guia, own a bed-and-breafast guesthouse in rural empton, Illinois. They often serve their guests fresh vegetables from the garden.
The Hoffmans have been growing food and flowers for twenty-five years. For almost ten of those
years, Mr. Hoffman has been eperimenting and woring with shade plantings. He says visitors to his website—greenhousebed—often as how to plant in shade spaces. He said, “The bottom line here is that most plants will produce more in full sun. But if you do not have full sun, there are other options.”
For eample, he grows tomatoes near oa trees. Oa trees can produce a lot of shade. But Mr. Hoffman says his tomato plants grow as long as they get five hours a day of direct sunshine, especially morning sun. Not only does this go against the traditional advice that tomatoes need si, eight, even twelve hours a day of full sun, it also shows how plants and tree roots can share nutrients and water. Mr. Hoffman also plants asparagus around a tree at its drip line, the area below the outer limit of the branches. So when it rains, all the rain drips down right on the asparagus.
The Hoffmans’ website includes a list of vegetables, flowers and herbs that have produced acceptably for them in partial shade. Mr. Hoffman says plants with wider leaves seem to do better in shady environments. He also found that his potatoes did better in partial shade than in full sun.
Moving them out of the sun helps control an insect problem with leaf hoppers. Mr. Hoffman does not use pesticides (农药). Instead, he plants the potatoes at the drip line, especially on the east side of the tree. The potatoes get morning sun, but they are shaded during the hottest part of the day. Leaf hoppers dislie shade, and the hottest part of the day is when they do the worst of their damage.
Time of day, brightness of the sun, shadows from trees, walls and buildings, these all influence how much sunlight falls or does not fall on plants. And etension agent Curtis Swift at Colorado State University says people interested in shade planting should also remember something else. The term “shade” can describe different amounts of darness. He says it can even mean different things in different parts of the world.

It is always the same minority of top pupils, usually sitting in the front, who raise their hands to answer questions, while the majority switch off. This deep-seated classroom habit is widening the achievement gap in our schools, according to the education epert Dylan William.
Some sort of randomiation process is required, William long ago decided, and his unusual solution is to write the pupil’s names down on lollipop（棒棒糖）stics, the teacher then pulling them at random from a pot. No one can hide---everyone is potentially in the firing line.
Over the course of one summer term, he put the idea into practice on a mied-ability class of 12- to 13-year-olds at a school in Borehamwood. The aim was to involve every pupil in the lesson.
A further innovation---small, hand-held whiteboards for each student---came as a direct result of an unforeseen problem with the lollipop stics.
Unable to show off their brilliance in the front of the class, the regular hands-up group were getting frustrated, and had even started to become disruptive（捣乱的）. “The high-achieving girls were really struggling,” William says. “They’re used to putting their hands up only when they now the answer. The random lollipop method was putting some of the high achievers into the unaccustomed position of sometimes not nowing the answer.”
“It’s ind of embarrassing, because I’ve got this reputation for being smart,” says Emily, after she has
