 You may have heard that tomatoes and processed tomato product like tomato sauce and canned
tomatoes protect (23) some types of cancer. The cancer-preventing properties of tomato
products have been (24) to lycopene. It is a bright red pigment found in tomatoes and
other red fruits and is the cause of their red color. Unlike other fruits and vegetables, where nutritional
content such as vitamin C is diminished upon cooking, processing of tomatoes increases the concentration
of lycopene. Lycopene in tomato paste is four times (25) in fresh tomatoes.
This is because lycopene is insoluble in water and is tightly bound to vegetable fiber. Thus, (26
tomato products such as pasteurized tomato juice, so up, sauce, and ketchup contain the
highest concentrations of lycopene. Cooking and crushing tomatoes as in the canning process and serving
in oil-rich dishes such as spaghetti sauce or pizza (27) increase assimilation from the
digestive tract into the bloodstream. Lycopene is a fat-soluble substance, so the oil is said to help
absorption to a great extent.

Garbage is a big problem all over the world. People buy and use a lot of things nowadays. After a while,
they throw them away in the garbage bin. All the garbage is later thrown away or dumped outside the
city. These places are called landfill sites. In many cities, landfill sites are now full.
We have to manage our waste and garbage better. If we throw away so many things, soon we will have
no place to dump them. The best thing to do is to reduce the amount of garbage. If we use less, we throw
away less. For instance, we can buy food in big boxes and packages. Then we throw away only one box
every month or so. Otherwise, we throw away many small boxes or cans every day.
Similarly, we can reuse a lot of packaging. For example, we do not have to buy take-out coffee in
Styrofoam cups, which are made of aluminum - a toxic material to the environment. We can bring our
own cup from home and fill it with fresh coffee.
We also do not have to take the plastic bags from the supermarket. We can bring our own cloth bag
from home instead. When we pack lunch, it is better to use a lunch box than a paper bag. Instead of paper
plates, we can use real plates. We can clean up with a dishtowel, not a paper towel. We can use a compost
bin for food scraps. In this way, the food gets back into the earth. It does not get mixed up with the
regular garbage.
Finally, all paper, glass and metal we do use, we can recycle. In many countries, there are now
recycling programs. In Germany, for example, people separate all glass bottles by color. Then they put
the bottles into special bins that are on the street. The city collects the glass, cleans it, and reuses it. As
well, in most countries, people recycle newspapers and cardboard. It is easy and efficient.

It takes a long time to raise a family of owlets, so the great homed owl begins early in the year. In
January and February, or as late as March in the North, the male calls to the female with a resonant hoot.
The female is larger than the male. She sometimes reaches a body length of twenty-two to twenty-four
inches, with a wingspread up to fifty inches. To impress her, the male does a strange courtship dance. He
bobs. He bows. He ruffles his feathers and hops around with an important air. He flutters from limb to
limb and makes flying sorties into the air. Sometimes he returns with an offering of food. They share the
repast, after which she joins the dance, hopping and bobbing about as though keeping time to the beat of
an inner drum. Owls are poor home builders. They prefer to nest in a large hollow in a tree or even to
occupy the deserted nest of a hawk or crow. These structures are large and rough, built of sticks and bark
and lined with leaves and feathers. Sometimes owls nest on a rocky ledge, or even on the bare ground,
even to occupy the deserted nest of a hawk or crow. These structures are large and rough, built of sticks
and bark and lined with leaves and feathers. Sometimes owls nest on a rocky ledge, or even on the bare
ground. The mother lays two or three round, dull white eggs. Then she stoically settles herself on the nest

and spreads her feather skirts about her to protect her precious charges from snow and cold. It is five
weeks before the first downy white owlet pecks its way out of the shell. As the young birds feather out,
they look like wise old men with their wide eyes and quizzical expressions. They clamor for food and
keep the parents busy supplying mice, squirrels, rabbits, crayfish, and beetles. Later in the season baby
crows are taken. Migrating songsters, waterfowl, and game birds all fall prey to the hungry family. It is
nearly ten weeks before fledglings leave the nest to search for their own food. The parent birds weary of
family life by November and drive the young owls away to establish hunting ranges of their own
