are very important living things. life could not go on if there were no plants. this is because plants can make food from air， water and sunlight. animals and man cannot make food from air， water and sunlight. animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. therefore animals and man need plants in order to live. this is why we find that there are so many plants around us. if you look carefully at the plants around you， you will find that there are two kinds of plants： flowering plants and non-flowering plants. flowering plants can make seeds. the seeds are protected by the fruits. some fruits have one seed， some have two， three or four， and some have many seeds. but a few fruits have no seeds at all. an example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit. most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. they grow from spores（胚芽）。 spores are very small. some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. we may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. when these spores are all on wet and shady places， they usually grow into new plants.36. the main idea of the first paragraph is that _. a. plants are important for life b. plants cannot grow without air c. there are many plants in the world d. we can not live without water37. plants can make food from_. a. flower, water and air b. water，sunlight and air c. air，water and soil d. air，sun and

life-and-death struggle. her calf was floating and screaming with fear. ma shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get, holding her whole body against the rushing water, and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body. every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf away. there was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mothers body and was gone. ma shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk(象鼻) against the rocky bank. then with a huge effort, she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock. just at this moment, she felt back into the river. if she were carried down, it would be certain death. i knew, as well as she did, that there was one spot (地点) where she could get up the bank, but it was on the other side from where she had put her calf. while i was wondering what i could do next，i heard the sound of a mothers lovema shwe had crossed the river and got

excellent. a former macys santa named charles howard founded the michigan school in 1937. “many people will think if you have a suit and youre a santa,” said tom valent, the schools current dean. “its more than that.” the school teaches everything from breathing techniques for carol singing to the beard maintenance. there are lessons in child psychology, sign language and even media training for talk-show appearances and call-in shows. santas also need to make sure they know all the names of the reindeer(驯鹿). whats harder to deal with, however, is children who ask for christmas gifts like bringing daddy home or making mommy happy again. after spending time in the classroom, weir went to the mall to test his training. however, at one point, his hat fell off, and he was unsure how to react. “youre the real santa,” valent said. “pick that hat up, slip it back on, keep smiling and do your job. youve got to stay on top of your game. even the last one at night, when youre tired, youve

because the person you are speaking to will understand and forgive you for any mistakes he hears. third, 54 you have one mouth but two ears! all that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.
