If there were no plants, we would have no animals and no meat. So the soil is very necessary for life. The top of the ground is usually covered with grass or other plants. There may be dead leaves and dead plants on the grass. The waste matter(粪) from animals also falls on it.All soil needs food. If we do not give it any, the plants will be weak. Farmers found that animals waste is the best food for the soil, but chemical fertilizers(化肥) are also very useful. The same crop（庄稼）should not be grown in the same place every year; it s better to have a different crop. A change of crop and the use of a good fertilizer will keep the land good.（1）Which of the following is true ?A . All our food comes from the soil.B . Most of our food comes from the soil.C . None of our food comes from the soil.D . All our food comes from animals.（2）Which is the best food for soil in the field?A . Chemical fertilizers.B . Plants and grass.C . Animals waste.D .
