Indoor plants might look as if they just sit around not doing much, but in many ways they are the unknown heroes of the home. Not only do they look beautiful, but studies have shown that they can increase people's happiness by improving their mood（情绪）, reducing stress and helping their memory. What's more, indoor plants are easy to look after and are not very expensive.

Indoor plants, also known as houseplants or pot plants, are plants that like to grow indoors. For many of these plants, they are not good to be grown outside in the UK, especially in the winter. Instead, they grow better inside, where it is warmer. So they are easy to be looked after.

"There are many benefits to growing plants indoors. I find that during the winter months, plants around the

house can really lift your mood,"Botanic Gardens, who works at the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, in London, told The Week Junior. There is also a research showing that pot plants can clean the air around them by removing harmful chemical from paints or cooking, as well as CO2.

Most indoor plants are very cheap. You can buy them from supermarkets, plants garden centers or online. Younger plants are often cheaper than fully grown ones, and you get to care for them as they mature（成熟）—which is part of the joy of growing plants. Learning about how to plant can be very meaningful. It can bring a new interest and draw more attention to people's lives and help to bridge the gap between home and nature.

One hot morning, when Mary was about nine years old, she woke up feeling very unhappy. She was surprised when she saw a strange servant（仆人）who stood by her. "Why are you here?" she said to the strange woman, "I will not let you stay. Send my Ayah to me!”

Later, someone explained to Mary that a terrible disease was killing people. Ayah was the first of the servant to die. She heard loud cries and shouts and the sound of feet outside her door.

Mary was so afraid that she hid herself in her room. She was soon completely forgotten. ▲

She walked slowly into the dining room and found the table set with food but no one there. She ate some fruit and biscuits and walked back to her room to sleep away the hours until someone would remember her again.

When she woke up, the house was in silence. No one cried. No one rushed past her door. "Maybe everyone has got well." she thought. Maybe someone would remember her and bring her food and a cool drink. But no one came.

Mary soon heard something was moving. When she looked down, she saw a small, harmless snake on the floor. "How strange and quiet it is," she told him. He moved quietly under her door as she watched. Suddenly Mary heard men's footsteps. Low voices sounded outside her door and she got closer to hear.

Mary looked at the door and it opened. The officer who looked in was so surprised at the sight of her that he jumped back.

"Mercy, a child! In a place like this!"

Mary said, "I am Mary Lennox. I fell asleep while everyone was sick. Why does no one come?"

"It is the child no one saw," a second officer said as men crowed around the door. "She was actually forgotten."

"Poor little kid," an old man said, "There is nobody left."

And so Mary Lennox discovered that she was completely alone in the world, because of the terrible disease.

Airbrushing（粉饰）makes people look better in photos by using computers or mobile phones. In the beginning, it was used to solve small problems in photos. These days, with the development of technology, it's difficult to find a photo of a person in a magazine which hasn't been "improved" by airbrushing.

"You see these women with perfect faces, and you know they aren't real." says 15-year-old Shelly. "But when you're reading an article about a famous person you like, you forget that, and just want to look like them." Corey, also 15, says, "People think it's just girls that care about this matter but it's boys, too. We're supposed to have big muscles（肌肉）, like sportsmen, but that's impossible to get if it isn't your natural body shape." Research has shown that seeing pictures of "perfect" girls in magazines makes readers to feel less confident about the way they look.

Mobile phone apps aren't helping the situation. They allow us to change photos of ourselves until we feel happy enough with the way we look to post them online. And although stricter rules are now in some places, there is still a long way to go in changing media industry's idea about what is thought beautiful.

Luckily, there are plenty of people who want to change things. Actress Meghan Markle and singer Paloma

Faith have both spoken out about not liking magazines to airbrush their photos. The Girl Guides have introduced the"Free being me"badge（徽章）, which members can get by spreading messages in their local community about how wonderful it is to have a natural look. These are small steps, but if people keep taking them, perhaps one day we'll find that the natural look is considered beautiful again.

42. According to Paragraph 1, what is airbrushing for?

A. Making people look better in photos.

B. Building healthy bodies for people.

C. Seeing pictures of beautiful girls.

D. Reading articles on famous people.

43. According to Paragraph 2, how might people feel after seeing "perfect" photos?

A. Shy.

B. Confident.

C. Worried.

D. Relaxed.

44. Which of the following is TRUE?

A. Famous people don't want their photos to be airbrushed.

B. Readers choose magazines that they like to read.

C. Young people don't believe what they see in photos.

D. Some mobile phone apps can help people feel better.

45. What's the writer's purpose in writing the passage?

A. To encourage people to do more exercise.

B. To lead people to accept their natural looks.

C. To advise people to spread more messages.

D. To teach people to think in different ways.
