It is the leaves themselves.Inside a leaf, there are millions of little colour “bags”. They are green, yellow and orange. The green ones are called chlorophyll (叶绿素). The yellow ones are called xanthophyll (叶黄素). The orange ones are carotene (胡萝卜素).In the summer, the green chlorophyll is very, very busy. It makes food for the tree. It catches sunlight to change water and carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) into sugar. This sugar is the food for the tree. It is so busy that it covers up all of the other colours in the leaf.When the weather grows colder in autumn, there is less light and water for trees. The trees will have a rest and get ready for winter. Theyve made enough food in summer! The leaves no longer need water to make food.Without the water, the green chlorophyll starts to go away. The other colours in the leaf-the yellow xanthophyll and the orange carotene come out. So, the leaves dont really “turn” a certain colour-they just lose their green! But how about the red, purple and green leaves? The leaves look red or purple because they have some sugar in them. They “steal” some food from the tree! The green leaves are from the evergreen trees (常青树). Their leaves dont lose water in winter. So, the green chlorophyll doesnt go away.( ) 1.

In the autumn, the tree leaves turn yellow or orange because _.A. they have enough air in them B. the green chlorophyll is busy workingC. they have too much sugar D. the green chlorophyll stops working and goes away( ) 4. Why do the leaves look red or purple?A. Because there is some light in them.B. Because there is some sugar in them.C. Because there are yellow colours in them.D. Because there are carotene in them.( ) 5.

Read this article and find out who is the perfect friend for you.Perhaps we should first start with signs that are incompatible (彼此不相容的). Aries and Leo are not a good mix. Both of them are leaders. Aries is energetic and is not compatible with Leo because Leo is strong and confident. Also, Pisces and Taurus are not a good pair. Taurus is practical and will not be patient enough to wait for Pisces to stop daydreaming.Perhaps the best choice of friend for Taurus is Capricorn. Taurus can be stubborn and Capricorn is patient and would be prepared to wait for Taurus to change his or her mind. Aries should get to know Pisces. Aries is active but Pisces is gentle and easy-going. They are a good match. Leo would be well matched with Libra. Leo likes to give gifts and Libra likes beautiful things.The perfect pair are Libra and Scorpio. Libra does not like to argue and loves peace. Libra will never ask Scorpio about his or her secrets. In addition (除此之外), Libra will be quite happy to watch Scorpio doing energetic things. Sagittarius and Gemini are also a perfect match. Sagittarius loves to travel and Gemini loves to discover new things. Sagittarius has a good sense of humour and will enjoy listening to Gemini.Capricorn and Cancer could also be good friends. Cancer is kind and sensitive and gets on well with Capricorn, who is shy?Virgo and Aquarius are a good match. Sometimes, however, there can be problems in their relation. Aquarius has many friends, and Virgo worries a lot, so meeting a lot of people can be stressful for them.1. What does Virgo worry about?_2. Who would wait for Taurus? _3. What are Aries and Pisces like? _五、词汇。1. We neednt worry about _ (not meet) again because Nancys birthday is coming.2. We think the match is _ (fair). They have five boys, but we only have one.3.
