a piece of paper and stuck it on my desk. I would click notes on an online keyboard and

A

Mountains are more than 500 meters tall and it’s not easy for plants to live on them.

The wind is strong. The soil is thin and rocky. Which plants can live there? Come and see

some of them.

Firs are evergreen trees. They always have green leaves.

Their leaves look like needles. Firs are large trees. They can be 20

to 80 meters tall. Their trunk can be 0.5 to 4 meters wide. In many

countries in Europe, people use firs as Christmas trees.

Cushion plants look like a small cushion(垫子). They grow

together and they are less than 30 cm tall. But they can be 3

meters wide. Many other plants live under them. Cushion plants

keep the cold away. They make the soil inside soft and wet. In this

way, cushion plants help other plants survive.
