Why does some land have so many plants growing on it, while other land has almost no plants growing on it at all?To grow, plants need several things. One is warmth. In very cold places almost nothing grows. Plants also need water. In very dry parts of the Earth only a few unusual plants can grow. Thats why there are almost no trees or grass in dry deserts.Plants must also have a place to put down their roots and grow. They find it difficult to grow on hard land. The town is built (被建立) on hard land. The plants there have only the soil between the cracks of the stones to grow in.Another thing plants must have before they can grow is food. What will happen if we try to make things grow on the sandy beach? A few plants, such as grass, will grow in sand, but most plants wont. Even if the weather is warm enough and we water the plants each day, many of them will die because the sand on this beach has almost no food for plants.（1）According to the passage, plants need things to grow well.A . twoB . threeC . fourD . five（2）The underlined word cracks means .A . long narrow openingsB . the surface of somethingC . small plants on somethingD . the bottom of something（3）From the passage, we call know it is for plants to grow in dry places.A . easyB . difficultC . impossibleD . important（4）The passage can most probably be found in a book.A . scienceB . historyC . travelD . math3. （25分）根据短文理解，回答下列问题。A mother planted many kinds of vegetables in her garden.
