P2 植物是什么？
植物是生物。所有的生物都能生长。大部分的生物是植物或动物。
植物用来自太阳的能量来制造自身（所需）养分。它们的叶子就像食物工厂。植物（通过）吸收阳光、空气和水并把他们转变成养分。既然植物通过它们的叶子制造养分，它们就是地球上其它所有生物的（生存）基础。
P3 植物能在海洋里和陆地上生存。它们形状不同，大小各异，小到微小的水生植物，大到参天的森林大树。有了光和水，植物可以在任何地方生长。
问与答：
1．植物用什么来制造自身（所需）养分？
2．植物在哪里制造养分？
P4 MINI 资料
植物能生长在雪域。
植物能生长在沙漠。
睡莲生长在池塘或湖里。
P5 植物的各部分
大部分植物都有根、茎和叶。许多植物还能开花结果。每个部分都能对植物的生存和生长发挥作用。
果实果实里包含种子。动物吃了果实然后使种子得以传播到四面八方。
花许多植物都开花，新的种子和果实都长自花。
茎植物的茎在地面上长大。茎为叶子输送水份和矿物质。
叶叶子从植物的茎上长出来。叶子用阳光制造养分供给整株植物。
根植物的根长在地下。植物的生存和生长需要水分。根部能从泥土里吸收水分和矿物质。
P8 植物对于生命（的意义）
人与动物需要氧气来生存。绿色植物制造空气中的氧气。
植物怎样制造氧气呢？
植物通过它们叶子上的小孔来呼吸。这些孔通常位于叶子的背面。植物吸收二氧化碳。二氧化碳经过这些小孔进入（叶子）。植物把阳光吸收进它们的叶子里。这些叶子就用二氧化碳、阳光和水来制造养分和氧气。植物从它们的叶子里将氧气释放在空气中。（若）没有植物制造的氧气，动物们将不能在地球上生存。
P9 游戏……疑问……
植物（会）呼吸吗？你会看到这一现象发生。
做些什么（步骤）：
1. 采摘些大的绿叶。
2. 往托盘里倒些水，将叶子背面朝上放进托盘里。
3. 将托盘放在阳光充足的地方然后等上15分钟。
4. 看看这些叶子，你看到了什么？
泡泡从每张叶子上冒出来。每个泡泡里都富含着氧气。
P10 MINI 资料
来自阳光中的能量进入（叶子）。
二氧化碳从空气中进入（叶子）。
水分自根部往上输送（进叶子）。
氧气被释放出来。
P11 花与动物
许多昆虫以花为生。花有吸引昆虫的颜色和香味。由于昆虫以花蜜为食物，它们也采摘花粉。鸟儿、蝙蝠，甚至有些蜥蜴都会被花吸引。这些动物们喜欢带有花蜜的花。这些花养活了这些动物，同时这些动物把花粉传授给另一朵花（或译为“而些动物为花传授花粉”更符合中文习惯）。随之花就结出种子了。
P12 疑问
正或误（对或错）？
1. 只有昆虫才以花为生。
2. 昆虫和鸟帮助花结出种子.
MINI 资料
这只燕尾凤蝶正在一朵花上觅食。

P13 树为何物（树是什么）？
树是一种植物。像所有植物一样，树需要空气、水和阳光才能生存和生长。树有一棵树干，许多树枝、叶子和根。每部分对于树来说都很重要。
树干被树皮包裹着。它支撑着树枝。它在地面上高高地托起树枝。无生命的树皮保护着里面生命活动旺盛的树干。树干每年都长粗长高。
树有许多枝条。树枝迎着阳光伸展。每年都有越来越多的枝条生长出来。
树叶长在树枝上。这些叶子覆盖着树。叶子利用太阳的能量为整棵树制造养分。
树有长在地下的根。根从土壤中吸收水分和营养。当风刮来时，这些根还能使树稳固。
P14 问与答
1．树干靠什么来保护？
2．什么东西为树制造养分？
P15 树的生命周期
树是活的（或译为“树是有生命的”）。像所有的生物一样，树生长着，变化着，繁殖着。甚至参天的大树也是从小种子开始成长的。
1．当一粒种子从枝头上落下后，一棵新树的生命便开始了。它（种子）也许落到地面上，也许被动物或风或水带走。一颗种子需要水和温暖（或译为暖和的温度）才能开始生长。2．小小的根往地面下生长。它攫取水分。一颗绿芽在阳光中长大。这棵幼小的树必须开始制造自己的养分。
3．幼树被叫做树苗。树苗朝着阳光长得又直又高。
4．当树长得成熟了就会开花。新的种子便从花中生长。
P16 问与答
1．种子从哪长出来？
2．种子生长需要什么（条件）？
MINI 资料
1．种子2。绿芽3。小树苗4。成熟的树
P17 树木与季节
大部分的树会在寒冷的冬天落叶。
春季当天气变暖时，树木会发芽并长出新叶。树还会开花。
夏季树木继续生长着。它的绿叶为整棵树制造养分。
秋季天气开始变冷，白天逐渐变短。叶子失去了它们的绿色。它们变得干枯。当叶子枯死时它们便从树上落下来。
冬季树在冬天停止生长。这时树仍是有生命的。它正在等待温暖的天气再次生长。
P18疑问
正或误（对或错）？
1．所有的树在冬天都落叶。
2．树不开花。
有的数叫做落叶树。这些树在冬天会落光叶子。
其它的树不会在冬天落叶。这些树被称为常绿树。
P19 食物链
食物链展现了植物和动物之间的联系。大部分的食物链从植物开始。
植物和动物彼此间的联系就像链条中的环节。一端是食肉动物，另一端是植物。狮子吃斑马，斑马吃草。这就是所说的食物链。
在海洋、沙漠、森林和草原，植物和动物被联结在一起。在森林里，兔子吃草，狐狸和狼则吃其中的一些兔子。
有的食物链较长。草蜢吃植物。青蛙、蜥蜴和老鼠吃草蜢。蛇吃老鼠和青蛙。鹰吃蛇。

成年雌海豹喜欢呆在水里，因为那里更温暖。但它们密切关注着自己的宝宝。
P24 这些小海豹叫喊着它们的母亲。每个母亲都能辨认出它的孩子的叫声。它返回到冰面上，通过气味找到自己的孩子。它从来不会找错她的孩子。
海豹妈妈一天当中数次上来躺在它孩子身边。小海豹贪婪地吸着奶，吸完一个奶头接着吸另一个。奶量非常充足，一只小海豹一天要吃奶2公斤。当它长到个星期大时，妈妈就停止哺喂它的孩子了。

美洲虎属于猫科。它是美洲最大的猫科动物。
美洲虎是出色的游泳能手。在雨林里，美洲虎将坐在河边等待猎物。它们常常在河里洗澡，而且还能游过宽阔的河面。但是它们不是跑步能手，因为它们腿短跑不快。但是，它们很擅长于爬树。在森林里，美洲虎晚上捕猎白天睡觉。
P32 美洲虎喜欢独居。它们每个都有自己的领地。一只雄性美洲虎的领地能包含几个雌性美洲虎的领地。当它们在周围活动时会留下记号。它们在树上留下抓痕标记，在灌木丛顶留下它们尿的气味。当幼虎长到2岁左右时，它们便离开它们的母亲去找自己的领地。

猫头鹰是唯一的夜间捕食鸟。它们白天睡觉夜晚捕猎。它们抓活的啮齿动物、青蛙、蟾蜍和爬行动物来吃。猫头鹰把它们的猎物整个吞下。
猫头鹰有尖利的钩状的爪子。它们用利爪抓住和杀死猎物。猫头鹰无法消化它们猎物的毛皮和骨头。与其它的捕食鸟不同，它们的胃不能分泌出能软化它们食物中硬物的胃酸。作为替代办法，它们咳出小球状的骨头和皮毛。
P36猫头鹰有高度发达的听觉，它们的听力比其它鸟类好。它们有很大的眼睛。猫头鹰的眼睛如此大以至于头骨中没有地方长眼部肌肉，所以他们的眼睛不会动。

Have you suffered from any of them? ·Big question to think about while you read What are sprains and fractures? Sprains occur when a muscle is pulled too far. The result can be a break or a tear of a ligament. Sprains can sometimes happen as the result of an injury, such as a fall. Sprains can also happen when you do not warm up your muscles before you exercise. A broken bone often occurs as the result of an accident. A broken bone is called a fracture. How can you tell if a bone is broken? The pain in the area is very strong. You cannot move the part that is broken. The part that is broken begins to swell or grow bigger. In most cases, you should not move because a bone may be broken Get someone's help to call an ambulance immediately. You will be taken to a hospital nearby to check whether or not you have a broken bone. To check this, you will normally get an X-ray. An X-ray is a black and white picture of the bones taken with a special machine. It lets a doctor see if a bone is broken. (178 words) ·Reflection questions on what you read 1. What are the differences between sprains and fractures? 2. How can a doctor tell whether there's a broken bone or not? 3. What should you do if a sprain occurs? 4. Which one do you think is more serious, a sprain or a broken bone?
