We first have to understand what leaves are and what they do.Leaves are the world's food factories. Plants take water from the ground through their roots(根)and take CO2 from the air. Plants use sunlight to turn water and CO2 into glucose (葡萄糖), a kind of sugar. Plants use it as food for energy and growing.A chemical called “chlorophyll” in the leaves gives plants their green color. As summer ends and autumncomes, the days get shorter and shorter, and trees “know” it's time to get ready for winter.During winter, there is not enough sunlight and water. Trees rest during this time and live on the food they store during the summer. They begin to shut down their food-making factories. As the green chlorophyll disappears from the leaves, we begin to see yellow and orange leaves.The bright reds and purples we see in leaves are made mostly in autumn. In some trees, like maples(枫树), sunlight and the cool nights of autumn turn the glucose in the leaves into the red color. And we can enjoy the beautiful red leaves during autumn.1. What do plants use to turn water and CO2 into glucose?A. Air.B. Sugar.C. Sunlight.D. Wind.2. The underlined word “chlorophyll” probably means“________”．A. 叶绿素B. 脂肪C. 蛋白质D. 淀粉3.

During winter trees live on the food they store in summer.C. During winter we seldom see yellow colors in the leaves.D. Trees begin to stop making food in summer.Passage 12(2020原创)为什么会打哈欠？You just need to yawn(打哈欠). But why does it happen?The scientists do not know what a yawn is for. What we do know is that yawning happens to just about every kind of animals. It happens when an animal is tired. Yawning can also take place during the time of disagreement and stress. And that wide-open mouth can be contagious(感染的), especially in social animals such as humans and wolves. Watching someone yawn—even reading about yawns—can lead you to yawn yourself. Why? The research on humans tells us that people who are more empathetic(有同理心的) may be more likely to get contagious yawning.Is yawning contagious for dogs, too? In 2011, UK biologists tested for contagious yawning between people and dogs. Although 5 of the 19 dogs they studied did yawn in reply to an unfamiliar person's yawn, the researchers couldn't prove the yawns were contagious.In 2013, scientists at the University of Tokyo once again tested contagious yawning in dogs while controlling for stress. This time the researchers found that dogs were more likely to yawn in reply to a familiar person. They concluded that d ogs can “catch” a yawn from humans and that yawning is a social rather than a stress­basedbehavior.This finding suggests some dogs find human yawning stressful and others do not. More research is needed to find out whether yawning is contagious between humans and dogs or not.So we don't know the real reason of yawning. Try an experiment at home: Yawn and see if your pet yawns back.素材选自可可英语网1.

I didn't want to eat my vegetables. I didn't want to go to bed on time. I didn't want to work in the garden. I would much rather read books than help my mom and grandma with the boring housework.
