Plants are very important 1 (live) things. Life could not go on if there 2 no plants.

This is because plants can make food 3 air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by

eating plants and other animals. Therefore animals and man need plants in order to live. This is 4

we find that there are so many plants around us. If you look 5 (careful) at the plants around

you, you will find that 6 are two kinds of plants; flowering plants and non-flowering plants.

Flowering plants can make seeds. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some 7 (fruit)

have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few have no seeds

at all . 8 example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit.

Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores(孢子). Spores

are very, very small. Some spores are so small and light that they 9 float in the air. We may say

that spores are quite the same as seeds. When these spores fall on wet and 10 (shade) places,

they usually grow into new plants.

fruits and grasses. Then, one day, more than 10,000 years ago, a woman in the Middle East 7

(dropped) some grass seeds. She dropped them near her home. They grew--and the first wheat was

born. The idea grew, too. Women planted roots and fruit trees. Then they 8 stay at home and

look after the children and animals. Women liked baby animals. Scientists think that women kept

WASHINGTON—Nearly 40 million children in developing countries stand to lose one or

both parents to AIDS(艾滋病) over the next 13 years, and almost 3 million children under 15 have

caught the disease worldwide, US experts said.

“More than 40 million children in 23 developing nations will likely have lost one or both

their parents 1 2010. Most

of these deaths will be the result

of the HIV/AIDS and

complicated(复杂的) illnesses,” Brain Atwood, a US official said. Meanwhile, since the first 2

(report) death of a child by AIDS in Los Angles 15 years ago, almost 3 million children under 15

are estimated(估计) to have caught 3 disease worldwide, and at least 1,000 are dying each day.

“In countries across Africa, Asia 4 Latin America, HIV/AIDS is pulling years of progress in

economic and social development,” he added.

“Life expectancy(估计寿命) 5 has been steadily(稳定地) on the rise for the last thirty

years—will drop to 40 years or less in nine African countries by the year 2020.” Atwood said serious work to help 6 children from in developing countries was being

wiped out.

“In all 23 countries 7 (include) in this study, AIDS-related death 8 (take) away the

gains made in child survival 8 the past 20 years. In Zambia and Zimbabwe, children’s death

rates(率) will likely 10 (near) double.” Atwood said.

Life gets noisier every day and very few people can be free from noise of some sort 1

another. It doesn’t matter where you live—in the middle of 2 modern city, or a faraway

village—the chances that you will be disturbed by jet planes, transistor radios, oil-powered

engines, etc. are almost everywhere.We seem to be getting used to noise, too. Some people feel

quite lonely 3 background music while they are working.

4 (science) tests have shown that total silence can be very 5 (frighten) experience for

human beings. However, some people enjoy 6 (listen) to pop music which is very loud, and

this can do harm to their eardrums(耳鼓).The noise level in some disco is far above the usual

safety level for heavy industrial areas.
