Painting & Celebrity (名人)第二节 任务型阅读Fruit also makes up a flowering plant. It carries the seeds . The purpose of fruit is to protect a plants seeds and help them get spread about. Wind and water spread seeds .So do animals when they eat fruit and drop the seeds . There are two main types of fruit: fleshy and dry. Fleshy fruits are soft and juicy , the way we usually think of fruits . Peaches ,plums ,and apples are all fleshy fruits . Dry fruits are thin and hard . Grains like wheat and rice , or nuts are dry fruits. Youve eaten seedless oranges and grapes . How can they be fruits? Its because people have changed the way they grow fruit. They can now grow seedless fruit . Seedless fruit comes from special plants called hybrids(杂交生物体) . A hybrid is made by combining two varieties of a fruit to form a new variety . This hybrid grows and produces seeds . But the plants grown from these seeds are seedless . These plants cannot reproduce themselves. A tomato is a vegetable , right? No , its actually a fruit . Other food we think of as vegetablessuch as squash , peppers ,and eggplantalso are fruit . Theyre fruit because they carry seeds and develop from flowers. Heres another surprise . Scientists classify the tomato as a berry(浆果) . In addition , they dont consider some fruits we call berries to be true berries because a berry is normally a type of fruit with a lot of seeds inside it . Technically , a strawberry , isnt a berry , because it has its seeds on the outside . The red part is just the tip of the strawberry stem thats enlarged. Fruits are a source of nourishing(滋养) substances that keep us alive and healthy . For example , they contain many vitamins , especially vitamins A and C, and many minerals . They also provide fibre for a healthy digestive system and carbohydrates that the body needs to make energy.Title：【1】Basic knowledgeBeing【2】of a flowering plant and carrying seeds.Protecting a plants seeds and helping spread them about.Mainly【3】on wind , water and animals to spread.Fleshy fruit :Juicy and【4】, like peaches , plums ,apples ,etc .Dry fruit : Thin and hard , like wheat ,rice
