　　 There were many plants in a forest. When spring came, a pine tree saw a red rose nearby and said, "What a beautiful flower! I wish I were that lovely."
　　The rose proudly said,"It seems that I am the most beautiful flower in this forest."Then the rose looked at a cactus(仙人掌) and said, "Look at that ugly plant full of thorns(刺)!"
"What a proud flower!" thought the tree.
As the days passed,the red rose often looked at the cactus and said bad words about it, like "This plant is useless. How sorry I am to be his neighbor!"
The cactus never got angry and even tried to advise the rose, saying, "Any form of life couldn't be created without a purpose."
Spring passed, and the weather became very hot.As there was no rain, the red rose began to wilt(枯萎).
One day the rose saw birds put their beaks (喙) into the cactus and then fly away. The red rose asked the pine tree what the birds were doing. The pine tree explained that the birds were getting water from the cactus.
"The cactus has water?" asked the rose.
"Yes, you can also drink some from it. The birds can bring water to you if you ask the cactus for help."
The red rose felt too ashamed to ask for water from the cactus. But finally it did ask for help. The cactus kindly agreed.
　　The rose learned a lesson that never judged (评价) anyone by their appearance again.

　　We all know that plants are delicious food for insects(昆虫). But some plants are able to develop ways to protect themselves from insects.
Some plants have physical features(特点) that stop insects from landing on them. For example, the passion plant(龙珠果)'s leaves have little spiky(有尖刺的) hairs all over them. They are like spikes, pushing out of that plant. There are so many that no room is left for the insects to land on. So the insects can't eat them. The little hairs serve as a physical feature that helps protect the passion plant from insects.
Other plants protect themselves using chemical things, like the potato plant. The potato plant is able to give out a chemical all over its leaves. The insect swallows this chemical as it eats the leaves. This chemical discourages the insect from wanting to eat more of the plant. How? Well, this chemical makes the insect feel full, like it's already had enough. The insect no longer feels hungry so it stops eating the plant. So, by giving out this chemical, the potato plant protects itself from insects.
32.What is true about the passion plant?
A. It doesn't have any leaves.
B. Its leaves are full of spikes.
C. It is too small for insects to eat.
D. Insects like to eat spikes of the passion plant.
33.The underlined word "discourages" in the passage means "　　　　" in Chinese.?
A. 鼓励 B. 吞噬
C. 阻止 D. 使灰心
34.How does the potato plant protect itself?
A. It gives out a chemical making insects feel full.
B. It has too many leaves for insects to eat.
C. It has bad leaves for insects to eat.
D. It gives out a chemical to kill insects.
35.What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. How to grow plants.
B. Two ways for plants to protect themselves.
C. The relationship between plants and insects.
D. How to make plants stay away from insects.

　　Do you long to have garden-fresh vegetables on your plate every night? Read on for information on how to take care of a garden.
Never let the soil in your garden dry out. If it doesn't rain for a few days and the soil feels dry, water your garden. Be sure the water gets all the way down to the roots (the parts that grow down into the soil) of the plants, but don't water too much. You could drown(淹死) your plants!
You may see some plants in your garden that you didn't put there. These are weeds. Pull them out when the ground is soft and wet. Be sure you pull out the roots, or the weeds(野草) will grow back.?
Tall plants such as tomatoes need sticks to hold them up. Without sticks, they'll fall over. When your tomato plants get to be about two feet tall, it's time to tie them to a stake(桩). Push a long stick into the ground next to each plant. Tie the plant to the stick with a string. As each plant grows taller, you'll have to tie it up again.
If you've planted seeds, you can expect too many plants to come out. You have to clear some away so that the plants left will have room to grow. This is called thinning. If you've planted lettuce(生菜) seeds, wait until the baby plants are about 1.5 inches tall. Then pull some of the plants out so that you can leave about 8 inches between plants.
Now that you've done all the work to make a vegetable garden, it's time to enjoy what you've finished. Pick a red, ripe and juicy tomato. Eat it while it's still warm from the sun. If you have more vegetables from your garden than your family can eat, give them to friends and neighbors. It's fun to have the joy you get from your garden together with others.

Tree Planting Day falls on March 12 in our country. Many people plant trees on this day. But how do we plant trees? Firstly, we should dig a hole big enough. Secondly, put the tree into the hole, and then put the earth back into the hole, and step on the earth to make it hard. Finally, we water the tree so that it can grow well.
Trees are our friends. We should plant more trees. The more, the better. Let's work together to make our country greener and greener.
