Montessori was born in Italy in 1870 with progressive parents, who frequently communicated with the country’s leading thinkers and scholars. This enlightened family environment provided Montessori with many advantages over other young girls of the time.
Her mother’s support was vital for some important decisions, such as her further study in a technical school after her elementary education. Her parents’ support also proved to be essential for her decision to study medicine, a field that was dominated by men.
Soon after graduating, in 1896, Montessori began work as a voluntary assistant in a clinic at the University of Rome, where she cared for children with learning difficulties. The rooms were empty, with just a few pieces of furniture. One day, she found that the children were enthusiastically playing with breadcrumbs（面包屑） that had dropped on the floor. It then occurred to her that the origin of some intellectual disabilities could be related with poverty. With the right learning materials, these and other young minds could be trained, Montessori concluded.
The observation would lead Montessori to develop a new method of education that focused on providing better stimulation during the sensitive periods of childhood.
At its centre was the principle that all the learning materials should be child-sized and designed to appeal to all the senses. In addition, each child should be allowed to move and act freely, and use their creativity and problem-solving skills. Teachers took the role of guides, supporting the children without press or control.
Montessori opened her first Children’s House in 1907．When the Fascists（法西斯主义者） first came into power in Italy in 1922, they welcomed her movement at the beginning. But they soon came to oppose the emphasis on the children’s freedom of expression. Montessori’s values had always been about human respect and the rights of children and women, but the Fascists wanted to use her work and her fame.
Things reached a breaking point when the Fascist tried to influence the schools’ educational content, and in 1934 Montessori and her son decided to leave Italy. She didn’t return to her homeland until 1947, and she continued to write about and develop her method until her death in 1952, at the age of 81.
24．What was the main reason for Montessori to develop a new educational method
A．Her experience as a voluntary assistant in a clinic.
B．Her family’s supportive influence on her education.
C．Her decision to study medicine, a field dominated by men.
D．Her observation of children playing with breadcrumbs happily.
25．What was a central principle of Montessori’s educational method
A．Focusing on group competition. B．Taking control of children’s action.
C．Providing one-size-fits-all learning materials. D．Creating a free and child-centered environment.
26．Why did Montessori decide to leave Italy in 1934
A．She was offered a better job in a different country.
B．She was forced to give up her work and her fame.
C．She wanted to avoid the influence from the Fascist.
D．She wanted to explore other countries and cultures.
27．Which of the following words can best describe Montessori in this passage
A．Enthusiastic and kind. B．Observant and innovative.
C．Cooperative and generous. D．Traditional and emotional.
C
With egg shortages already a familiar sight on supermarket shelves, farmers are warning that vegetables and grains could be next, because environmental plans take out large areas of land that are used for food production.
Stephen Holt, who owns 670 acres in Northamptonshire, said farmers were being stimulated by the government subsidy to reduce food production in favour of wildlife. He has signed up to an environmental plan which is being carried out in England under the concept of “public money for public goods”.
“Instead of 1,300 tonnes of product, we will produce 900 tonnes of product from our farm,” Holt said. Under the new plan, his input costs will be reduced and he will be paid a guaranteed sum.
“In my view, the huge danger is that there will be a serious decrease in agriculturaloutput,” he said. “We are not helping but we can’t have the whole food system of the UK on our shoulders, because everyone has to act in their individual best interests.”
James Williams, who farms in Oxfordshire, said the environmental plans will reduce the risks in his farm business and that he will not be affected by the weather and international markets. “It does mean that we will be taking perhaps 30 per cent of our wheat land out of production for a season or two, or more,” he said. “What has not been mentioned is that if some disaster fell and our imports were disrupted（扰乱）, growing wheat to produce bread could not be turned on like a tap. It will take several years and a significant increase in prices to get production back up to today’s levels.”
The UK produces about 60 per cent of its food consumption, including the majority of grains, meat, dairy and eggs. However, seasonal labour shortages have led many British farm businesses to reduce their production by as much as 20-30 per cent since 2020. Egg production has dropped to its lowest level in nine years.
Liz Webster, a farmer in north Wiltshire, said, “There just doesn’t seem to be any thought or concern for food security and food supply. They’ve just left it up to the supermarkets.” The farmers’ concerns include imported food produced in countries with lower welfare standards, and labelling of food origins. “These imports are packaged here, and if they’re packaged or processed here they can have a British flag, which is absolutely dishonest,”Webster said.
28．The word “subsidy” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.
A．ban B．warning C．permission D．award
29．What can we learn from paragraph 5
A．Reducing wheat production may cause negative impacts.
B．The environmental plans can improve the farm business.
C．The international markets will affect the farmers’ interests.
D．A recovery in wheat production will come soon after disruption.
30．What is Liz Webster’s opinion on food safety
A．Supermarkets are responsible for food safety.
B．The safety of imported food cannot be guaranteed.
C．A British flag on food package ensures food safety.
D．Food safety and supply issues have been addressed.
31．What is the main idea of this article
A．Seasonal labour is in short supply.
B．Imported food prices are on the rise.
C．Farmers fear food shortage caused by green plans.
D．Government worries about the slow agricultural development.
D
Climate change is not only a human problem; animals have to adapt to it as well. Some “warm-blooded” animals are shapeshifting（变形） and getting larger legs, ears, and beaks to better control their body temperatures as the planet gets hotter. Bird researcher Sara Ryding of Deakin University in Australia describes these changes in a review.
“It’s high time we recognized that animals also have to adapt to these changes, and this is occurring over a far shorter time than would have occurred through most of evolutionary time,” says Ryding.“The climate change that we have created is putting a lot of pressure on them, and while some species will adapt, others will not.”
Ryding notes that climate change is a complex phenomenon that’s been occurring gradually, so it’s difficult to determine just one cause of the shapeshifting. But these changes have been occurring across wide geographical regions and among a variety of species, so there is little in common apart from climate change.
Strong shapeshifting has particularly been reported in birds. Several species of Australian parrot have shown, on average, a 4% to 10% increase in size since 1871, and this is positively associated with the summer temperature each year. North American dark-eyed juncos, a type of small songbird, had a link between increased size and short-term temperature extremes in cold environments. There have also been reported changes in mammalian（哺乳动物） species. Researchers have reported tail length increases in wood mice. “The increases in appendage （附肢） size we see so far are quite small —less than 10%—so the changes are unlikely to be immediately noticeable,” says Ryding. “However, prominent（突起的） appendages such as ears are predicted to increase.”
Next, Ryding intends to investigate shapeshifting in Australian birds by 3D scanning museum bird samples from the past 100 years. Undoubtedly, it will give her team a better understanding of which birds are changing appendage size due to climate change and why.
32．What is the purpose of paragraph 1
A．To introduce a bird researcher. B．To present a shapeshifting phenomenon.
C．To explain the cause of climate change. D．To state the terrible influence of climate change.
33．What can be inferred about animals’ shapeshifting from paragraphs 2 and 3
A．It is slower than their evolution. B．It’s impossible to determine its cause.
C．It is a global phenomenon beyond species. D．Climate change is its potential cause.
34．What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A．The examples of shapeshifting. B．The effects of shapeshifting.
C．The explanations of shapeshifting. D．The history of shapeshifting.
35．Which of the following will Ryding’s next study focus on
A．The speed of shapeshifting. B．The cause of climate change.
C．The samples of Australian birds. D．The understanding of bird history.

Making friends as an adult can be tough, but it isn’t impossible. 36
According to psychologist and friendship expert Dr Marisa G Franco, there is a necessary element for starting a friendship: continuous unplanned interactions （being in the same place and the same time, again and again）. When we’re younger and at school or university, this is much easier as we’re automatically placed within a wide network of people who are all going through the same thing. 37 Unless we make the effort to put ourselves in situations where we’ll be among others, we probably won’t meet anyone new. So, your first step should be going to places where you can meet people.
38 You also have to make the effort to engage with them. Introduce yourself and try to strike up a conversation. 39 This is fine: just keep at it until you find someone that you click with. Interestingly, a study by Cornell University found that most people underestimate how much people like them when they meet new people. So even if you feel a bit awkward, chances are that other people won’t see you in this way.
Once you’ve built up a friendly connection with someone, you need to give that relationship time to develop. Keep showing up and be intentional about the effort you put in with that person, while having enough confidence in the relationship to not be too demanding of them. 40
A．Friends, like books, should be few but good.
B．Sometimes it will go well, sometimes it won’t.
C．But as we get older, we have less time to just hang out.
D．It’s not enough to just be in the room with these folks, though.
E．Nevertheless, making friends with right people is full of benefits.
F．Unfortunately, though, there’s no way around the time and effort it takes.
G．Over time, your shared experiences will bring the two of you closer together.

She was the prettiest puppy we had ever seen, and the whole family immediately fell in love with her. We named her Onyx because of her thick, shiny black coat. She spent her first vacation with us when she was only ten weeks old and had her first bath and swim in the St. Lawrence River. We had no clue that this amazing little ball of fur would end up being our hero.
As she grew older, Onyx became more and more involved in our family activities. On hot summer days, Onyx enjoyed floating on the river with us in her own rubber tube（橡皮圈）. Amazingly standing on the top of the tube, she smiled while showing off her perfect balance. Resting her front legs and paws over the edge of the rubber tube, she kept her eyes shut as she floated until she’d had enough of the warm sun on her black coat.
One day, our eighteen-year-old daughter, Margie, announced she was going to swim across the bay. No one in the family was free to go swimming with her. The unwritten rule, regardless of swimming ability, was to have a companion in the water with you, especially when swimming the width of the bay. I was not a good swimmer, so I said to Margie, “Take Onyx with you.” Having heard her name, Onyx woke up from a nap and was ready for action. Margie signed the dog to follow her. Onyx ran to the water next to her. They entered the freezing river together and swam side by side across the bay.
I watched from the bank as they reached the sandbar（沙洲） on the far shore. They rested a few minutes before diving into the water for the return trip. I felt uneasy for some reason and continued to watch the pair swim side by side.
Suddenly I heard Margie calling out, “I have a cram（痉挛） in the leg!” ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Seeing the pair approaching the riverbank, I breathed a sigh of relief._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

77．One possible version:
Suddenly I heard Margie calling out, “I have a cramp （控挛） in the leg!” Seized with panic, Margie rubbed her leg hard to relax the muscle but in vain. Seeing her struggling in the water, Onyx immediately swam to the side of Margie and then put her head beneath the girl’s right arm. I yelled for help for fear that they might freeze in the chilly river. But much to my joy, with Margie tightly grabbing Onyx’s collar, our little furry friend began digging deep, slicing through the water with her paws and swimming fast towards the bank with every ounce of strength.
Seeing the pair approaching the riverbank, I breathed a sigh of relief. When they finally got to the shore, I reached out to help Margie, pulling her up onto the riverbank and wrapping her in a large towel. Exhausted but excited, Onyx eagerly ran to Margie and gently licked her face to make sure she was Okay. Everyone in the family was grateful for their safe return and Onyx was given an extra treat later in the afternoon for her quick and br ave reaction. she became our hero that day and she never ceased to amaze us in the days that followed.

W: John, have you ever noticed how some people are great at getting their point across in conversations while others struggle
M: Yes, Lisa.（13） （15） Interestingly, some people are indeed good at interpersonal communication. What do you think makes the difference
W: Well, effective communication isn’t just about talking. It’s also about listening. People who actively listen tend to have better conversations.（13）
M: So, listening is a key factor of communication （13）
W: Absolutely. （13） When you listen, you not only hear the words but also understand the emotions and intentions behind them.
M: That’s true. What else can we do to improve our communication skills
W: Body language, eye contact, and facial expressions can tell people some sort of message. They are even more important than what’s being said.（14） Being aware of your own body language and reading others’ can make a huge difference.
M: I see. Anything else we should keep in mind
W: It’s crucial to put yourself in the other person’s position. Effective communication involves understanding and respecting different angles of view.（15）
M: So, the ability to share others’ feelings and consider different viewpoints is vital for good communication
W: Definitely. When you create an environment where people feel heard and respected, it leads to more productive conversations.（15）
M: These are very useful things to know.

I recently joined the nature club at school.（17） I wanted to join the science club but they had no spaces left, so I had to change my decision. At first, I thought I was not interested in this, but it has turned out to be amazing.（17） We are always learning amazing facts about nature. For example, did you know that 97% of the Earth’s water is actually salt water found in the oceans That means that only 3% of the planet’s water is fresh water, yet we can only use one-third of it,（18） as the remainder is too far underground or is ice. Another interesting fact I learned is that forests cover 30% of all land on Earth. At least a third of that has been completely undisturbed by human activity. Speaking of forests, I read a report online that in 2019, we lost a piece of rainforest the same size as a football field every six seconds.（19） However, a quarter of all modern medicines come from plants found in rainforests. （20） That is why saving the rainforests is so important. Not only do they provide us with air to breathe, but they also grow things to keep us healthy. I’m going to share this fact with the nature club on Wednesday.

Montessori was born in Italy in 1870 with progressive parents, who frequently communicated with the country’s leading thinkers and scholars. This enlightened family environment provided Montessori with many advantages over other young girls of the time.
Her mother’s support was vital for some important decisions, such as her further study in a technical school after her elementary education. Her parents’ support also proved to be essential for her decision to study medicine, a field that was dominated by men.
Soon after graduating, in 1896, Montessori began work as a voluntary assistant in a clinic at the University of Rome, where she cared for children with learning difficulties. The rooms were empty, with just a few pieces of furniture. One day, she found that the children were enthusiastically playing with breadcrumbs（面包屑） that had dropped on the floor. It then occurred to her that the origin of some intellectual disabilities could be related with poverty. With the right learning materials, these and other young minds could be trained, Montessori concluded.
The observation would lead Montessori to develop a new method of education that focused on providing better stimulation during the sensitive periods of childhood.
At its centre was the principle that all the learning materials should be child-sized and designed to appeal to all the senses. In addition, each child should be allowed to move and act freely, and use their creativity and problem-solving skills. Teachers took the role of guides, supporting the children without press or control.
Montessori opened her first Children’s House in 1907．When the Fascists（法西斯主义者） first came into power in Italy in 1922, they welcomed her movement at the beginning. But they soon came to oppose the emphasis on the children’s freedom of expression. Montessori’s values had always been about human respect and the rights of children and women, but the Fascists wanted to use her work and her fame.
Things reached a breaking point when the Fascist tried to influence the schools’ educational content, and in 1934 Montessori and her son decided to leave Italy. She didn’t return to her homeland until 1947, and she continued to write about and develop her method until her death in 1952, at the age of 81.
24．What was the main reason for Montessori to develop a new educational method
A．Her experience as a voluntary assistant in a clinic.
B．Her family’s supportive influence on her education.
C．Her decision to study medicine, a field dominated by men.
D．Her observation of children playing with breadcrumbs happily.
25．What was a central principle of Montessori’s educational method
A．Focusing on group competition. B．Taking control of children’s action.
C．Providing one-size-fits-all learning materials. D．Creating a free and child-centered environment.
26．Why did Montessori decide to leave Italy in 1934
A．She was offered a better job in a different country.
B．She was forced to give up her work and her fame.
C．She wanted to avoid the influence from the Fascist.
D．She wanted to explore other countries and cultures.
27．Which of the following words can best describe Montessori in this passage
A．Enthusiastic and kind. B．Observant and innovative.
C．Cooperative and generous. D．Traditional and emotional.
C
With egg shortages already a familiar sight on supermarket shelves, farmers are warning that vegetables and grains could be next, because environmental plans take out large areas of land that are used for food production.
Stephen Holt, who owns 670 acres in Northamptonshire, said farmers were being stimulated by the government subsidy to reduce food production in favour of wildlife. He has signed up to an environmental plan which is being carried out in England under the concept of “public money for public goods”.
“Instead of 1,300 tonnes of product, we will produce 900 tonnes of product from our farm,” Holt said. Under the new plan, his input costs will be reduced and he will be paid a guaranteed sum.
“In my view, the huge danger is that there will be a serious decrease in agriculturaloutput,” he said. “We are not helping but we can’t have the whole food system of the UK on our shoulders, because everyone has to act in their individual best interests.”
James Williams, who farms in Oxfordshire, said the environmental plans will reduce the risks in his farm business and that he will not be affected by the weather and international markets. “It does mean that we will be taking perhaps 30 per cent of our wheat land out of production for a season or two, or more,” he said. “What has not been mentioned is that if some disaster fell and our imports were disrupted（扰乱）, growing wheat to produce bread could not be turned on like a tap. It will take several years and a significant increase in prices to get production back up to today’s levels.”
The UK produces about 60 per cent of its food consumption, including the majority of grains, meat, dairy and eggs. However, seasonal labour shortages have led many British farm businesses to reduce their production by as much as 20-30 per cent since 2020. Egg production has dropped to its lowest level in nine years.
Liz Webster, a farmer in north Wiltshire, said, “There just doesn’t seem to be any thought or concern for food security and food supply. They’ve just left it up to the supermarkets.” The farmers’ concerns include imported food produced in countries with lower welfare standards, and labelling of food origins. “These imports are packaged here, and if they’re packaged or processed here they can have a British flag, which is absolutely dishonest,”Webster said.
28．The word “subsidy” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.
A．ban B．warning C．permission D．award
29．What can we learn from paragraph 5
A．Reducing wheat production may cause negative impacts.
B．The environmental plans can improve the farm business.
C．The international markets will affect the farmers’ interests.
D．A recovery in wheat production will come soon after disruption.
30．What is Liz Webster’s opinion on food safety
A．Supermarkets are responsible for food safety.
B．The safety of imported food cannot be guaranteed.
C．A British flag on food package ensures food safety.
D．Food safety and supply issues have been addressed.
31．What is the main idea of this article
A．Seasonal labour is in short supply.
B．Imported food prices are on the rise.
C．Farmers fear food shortage caused by green plans.
D．Government worries about the slow agricultural development.
D
Climate change is not only a human problem; animals have to adapt to it as well. Some “warm-blooded” animals are shapeshifting（变形） and getting larger legs, ears, and beaks to better control their body temperatures as the planet gets hotter. Bird researcher Sara Ryding of Deakin University in Australia describes these changes in a review.
“It’s high time we recognized that animals also have to adapt to these changes, and this is occurring over a far shorter time than would have occurred through most of evolutionary time,” says Ryding.“The climate change that we have created is putting a lot of pressure on them, and while some species will adapt, others will not.”
Ryding notes that climate change is a complex phenomenon that’s been occurring gradually, so it’s difficult to determine just one cause of the shapeshifting. But these changes have been occurring across wide geographical regions and among a variety of species, so there is little in common apart from climate change.
Strong shapeshifting has particularly been reported in birds. Several species of Australian parrot have shown, on average, a 4% to 10% increase in size since 1871, and this is positively associated with the summer temperature each year. North American dark-eyed juncos, a type of small songbird, had a link between increased size and short-term temperature extremes in cold environments. There have also been reported changes in mammalian（哺乳动物） species. Researchers have reported tail length increases in wood mice. “The increases in appendage （附肢） size we see so far are quite small —less than 10%—so the changes are unlikely to be immediately noticeable,” says Ryding. “However, prominent（突起的） appendages such as ears are predicted to increase.”
Next, Ryding intends to investigate shapeshifting in Australian birds by 3D scanning museum bird samples from the past 100 years. Undoubtedly, it will give her team a better understanding of which birds are changing appendage size due to climate change and why.
32．What is the purpose of paragraph 1
A．To introduce a bird researcher. B．To present a shapeshifting phenomenon.
C．To explain the cause of climate change. D．To state the terrible influence of climate change.
33．What can be inferred about animals’ shapeshifting from paragraphs 2 and 3
A．It is slower than their evolution. B．It’s impossible to determine its cause.
C．It is a global phenomenon beyond species. D．Climate change is its potential cause.
34．What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A．The examples of shapeshifting. B．The effects of shapeshifting.
C．The explanations of shapeshifting. D．The history of shapeshifting.
35．Which of the following will Ryding’s next study focus on
A．The speed of shapeshifting. B．The cause of climate change.
C．The samples of Australian birds. D．The understanding of bird history.

Making friends as an adult can be tough, but it isn’t impossible. 36
According to psychologist and friendship expert Dr Marisa G Franco, there is a necessary element for starting a friendship: continuous unplanned interactions （being in the same place and the same time, again and again）. When we’re younger and at school or university, this is much easier as we’re automatically placed within a wide network of people who are all going through the same thing. 37 Unless we make the effort to put ourselves in situations where we’ll be among others, we probably won’t meet anyone new. So, your first step should be going to places where you can meet people.
38 You also have to make the effort to engage with them. Introduce yourself and try to strike up a conversation. 39 This is fine: just keep at it until you find someone that you click with. Interestingly, a study by Cornell University found that most people underestimate how much people like them when they meet new people. So even if you feel a bit awkward, chances are that other people won’t see you in this way.
Once you’ve built up a friendly connection with someone, you need to give that relationship time to develop. Keep showing up and be intentional about the effort you put in with that person, while having enough confidence in the relationship to not be too demanding of them. 40
A．Friends, like books, should be few but good.
B．Sometimes it will go well, sometimes it won’t.
C．But as we get older, we have less time to just hang out.
D．It’s not enough to just be in the room with these folks, though.
E．Nevertheless, making friends with right people is full of benefits.
F．Unfortunately, though, there’s no way around the time and effort it takes.
G．Over time, your shared experiences will bring the two of you closer together.

She was the prettiest puppy we had ever seen, and the whole family immediately fell in love with her. We named her Onyx because of her thick, shiny black coat. She spent her first vacation with us when she was only ten weeks old and had her first bath and swim in the St. Lawrence River. We had no clue that this amazing little ball of fur would end up being our hero.
As she grew older, Onyx became more and more involved in our family activities. On hot summer days, Onyx enjoyed floating on the river with us in her own rubber tube（橡皮圈）. Amazingly standing on the top of the tube, she smiled while showing off her perfect balance. Resting her front legs and paws over the edge of the rubber tube, she kept her eyes shut as she floated until she’d had enough of the warm sun on her black coat.
One day, our eighteen-year-old daughter, Margie, announced she was going to swim across the bay. No one in the family was free to go swimming with her. The unwritten rule, regardless of swimming ability, was to have a companion in the water with you, especially when swimming the width of the bay. I was not a good swimmer, so I said to Margie, “Take Onyx with you.” Having heard her name, Onyx woke up from a nap and was ready for action. Margie signed the dog to follow her. Onyx ran to the water next to her. They entered the freezing river together and swam side by side across the bay.
I watched from the bank as they reached the sandbar（沙洲） on the far shore. They rested a few minutes before diving into the water for the return trip. I felt uneasy for some reason and continued to watch the pair swim side by side.
Suddenly I heard Margie calling out, “I have a cram（痉挛） in the leg!” ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Seeing the pair approaching the riverbank, I breathed a sigh of relief._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

77．One possible version:
Suddenly I heard Margie calling out, “I have a cramp （控挛） in the leg!” Seized with panic, Margie rubbed her leg hard to relax the muscle but in vain. Seeing her struggling in the water, Onyx immediately swam to the side of Margie and then put her head beneath the girl’s right arm. I yelled for help for fear that they might freeze in the chilly river. But much to my joy, with Margie tightly grabbing Onyx’s collar, our little furry friend began digging deep, slicing through the water with her paws and swimming fast towards the bank with every ounce of strength.
Seeing the pair approaching the riverbank, I breathed a sigh of relief. When they finally got to the shore, I reached out to help Margie, pulling her up onto the riverbank and wrapping her in a large towel. Exhausted but excited, Onyx eagerly ran to Margie and gently licked her face to make sure she was Okay. Everyone in the family was grateful for their safe return and Onyx was given an extra treat later in the afternoon for her quick and br ave reaction. she became our hero that day and she never ceased to amaze us in the days that followed.

I recently joined the nature club at school.（17） I wanted to join the science club but they had no spaces left, so I had to change my decision. At first, I thought I was not interested in this, but it has turned out to be amazing.（17） We are always learning amazing facts about nature. For example, did you know that 97% of the Earth’s water is actually salt water found in the oceans That means that only 3% of the planet’s water is fresh water, yet we can only use one-third of it,（18） as the remainder is too far underground or is ice. Another interesting fact I learned is that forests cover 30% of all land on Earth. At least a third of that has been completely undisturbed by human activity. Speaking of forests, I read a report online that in 2019, we lost a piece of rainforest the same size as a football field every six seconds.（19） However, a quarter of all modern medicines come from plants found in rainforests. （20） That is why saving the rainforests is so important. Not only do they provide us with air to breathe, but they also grow things to keep us healthy. I’m going to share this fact with the nature club on Wednesday.
