Not all bamboo looks the same.Some bamboo plants are thick.They may grow to more than 30 centimeters across while others may only grow to be a few centimeters wide.They may also have different colors，like yellow，black and green.
Bamboo is a kind of utility plant.Many Asian countries use it to make many things such as hats and kitchen tools.And it is used to build buildings or support new buildings and bridges.In fact，the cables that hold up the hanging bridge across the Min River in Sichuan are made of bamboo.
In Africa，engineers are teaching poor farmers how to find water using bamboo.These farmers need cheap ways because they have no money.Bamboo pipes（管子） can help them bring water to their thirsty fields without much money.

3．In a way，our moods（情绪）change with the weather.Going to a warm place in the middle of winter can make our moods better.Pleasant weather can improve moods and memory.However，extremely hot weather can make us feel more tired and bored.It spoiled our moods.
In a study，people who spent time outdoors in warm weather were happier than those who spent all day inside.The former（前者）got better scores in running tests.
The best temperature for people is about 22.2 ℃.To improve moods，a person must spend at least 30 minutes outside in warm weather.Spending time indoors when the weather outside is so nice tends to （趋向） lower moods.It's mostly because we don't like to be inside when spring arrives.It is possible that inside activities seem boring.
Maybe the activities connected with being outside influence our moods.Warm weather makes us happier.Warm weather is connected with the beach，fun outdoor sports，happy people，and so on.It brings back childhood memories of playing outside all day.
Of course，we can wake up every day and decide how we'll feel that day.If it's rainy，that won't necessarily make us unhappy.We'll just have to bring our umbrellas out and cheer up those who are feeling sad!
